Why do you have no desire to read this series? As you said, it was an introduction to McDuffie taking over the reins of the book and asserting his writing style. He added two more black characters to the roster that truly increases the diversity of the team (of course it would be nice to if their was other ethnicities on the team too). Added to that both those characters were on their way to limbo from the cancellation of their solo series until McDuffie cams and made the characters actually worth reading. Also he writes all the characters pretty well. The series is good. I was following it awhile when it came back, under the previous writers and I almost dropped it too. Now that McDuffie's writing it, I think the quality has skyrocketed.
Anyway, to each his own. Maybe you'll decide to come back one day had give it another try. Hopefully it will be able to satisfy you interests then.
