Where is Vixen (Mari Jiwe McCabe) in the New 52?



Not since the 18th issue of Justice League has Vixen been seen in the New 52. She was part of the JL recruitment tryout and no surprise she didn't make the team. I don't know why, she was a member of the JL pre-52 but not good enough to be on the team in the New 52.

It's bad enough they sidelined her with serious injuries in that ill-conceived Justice League International series (which surprised no one when it was canceled) but some how after healing from her injuries she can't even be a part of the JL.

Why write about this now? I know it's been a while since that issue was published but I had been thinking about it recently. And it just bugs me that Vixen is such an awesome character despite being underrated and underused, and for some reason DC Comics doesn't seem to think she's worth showcasing in the New 52.

Well, hopefully she will show up sometime soon because I don't understand why they would chose to shelve yet another character again for no reason.
