I don’t usually complain about race in casting, but making Death (characterized, almost defined, as being a very, very pale Goth) black seems almost deliberately provocative. (I’m fine with any—even _all_—of the other Endless being POC, but Death needs to be bone white.) It reminds me of the first appearance of Deadpool, the Merc With A Mouth, where they _remove his mouth_.
