Cold Truth? Cold Crap.
HA HA! This comic was in fact, probably unintentionally, extremely racist.
Apparently, all Gypsies are in fact, evil. The big reveal of Tora's back story is now, instead of taking one of the very few, nice, slightly whimsical and pleasant characters in DC, who is just a pleasure to read under most writers, they've turned her into what can only be described as a 90's Parody Revamp.
So, we begin with the horrid statement that Tora is in fact, a Gypsy. This is fine. Romanies aren't that bad. It's Pikies you wanna watch out for. So, then we find out her Dad, and his Dad, are criminals. Leaving no Puppy unkicked, they knock over an Old Peoples home. This is what Gypsies do. So, we find out that Tora's Dad is some sort of Romany Royal. He's next in line but he dislikes his life of crime! So he leaves with his daughter and wife! SHOCK AND HORROR!
Then, the dastardly villain of the piece, the Father of Tora's Dad turns up finding out Tora has ice powers! He believes that she is the reincarnation of their Goddess. So, in true religion fashion, he is going to use her to not just steal things, but now they can take what they want!
Because that's what you do with a deity. If Jesus came back, I'd want him to come with me while we knock over a Supermarket. That is literally my first thought for what I would do if i discovered a God living with my family. Lets go steal stuff.
Just...awful.
