Diversity in Amazing Spider-Man Worldwide Vol 1

Amazing Spider-Man: Worldwide Vol. 1 (Issues #1-5) by Dan Slott and Giuseppe Camuncoli
I started this book back in 2018 and completely forgot about it. I don’t think got that far though. These are the only notes I have on it.


We have a Black man, a gay male couple, one whose name is Hector so he’s probably Latino, and an Indian woman. Were they just trying to check off diversity boxes? It’s unclear if the creators were sincere in including these characters. At the same time, it’s funny to think how many people were/are bothered by all of this diversity.
