Go woke, go broke. (People that like that kind of stuff, donĀ“t buy comics at the level that regular fans do) Why reduce your audience on purpose and alienate your regulars?
Comics based on the CHILDREN of iconic characters rarely do well. The same goes for new characters that resemble classic ones. This is why Marvel and DC will replace well known characters rather than create new ones. Miles Morales, Barry Allen, ect all had to take over in order to be accepted.
Tested as newish concept aimed at new audiences, failed at the counter, didn't sell, got axed.
Sad perhaps, but if you fail to get that new audience to said counter, or said audience was smaller than Marketing though, then you shouldn't be surprised.
