So I find myself having to say, more than what The Crew is, what The Crew is not. The Crew is not The Black Avengers. The Crew is not "A Ghetto Book". The Crew is not even remotely about race. Race is never even mentioned in The Crew. It is a complete non-issue.

Marvel's misfit team of heroes. Mostly African-American, and generally a group of interesting characters. Made up of White Tiger, Josiah X, Junta and perhaps War Machine. Only lasted for 7 issues before the series was canceled. I just read the the series and found these group to be one i liked and wouldn't mind following. Hell its rare to find groups of strong (and powerful) black characters to check. I think Josiah X is one of the most positive Muslim portrayals i think i ever seen.
The series written by Christopher Priest and with Art by Joe Bennett is a treat. For a bit more on the short series and it's protagonist: http://phonogram.us/comics/crew/start.htm
