I'm sick of it as well.
I don't know its been pointed out several times that Luke Cage has been treated well in the HFH series.
Maybe this is some sort of karma thing. I've always wanted black characters to be represented more in comics and they're are doing that now. Maybe they are going too far.

Luke and Iron-fist are cool characters who deserve respect, but I feel that the way they are being portrayed as of now is way too mainstream.
There are black characters other than Luke, T'challa and *gasp* Shuri. (Bendis actually killed Brother Voodoo over nothing, which was a shame)

I think the problem is that Luke is kinda the prime stereotype for a black man and he represents the crap and progress that black people have put up with in America. In a way hes the Captain America for black people. The focus on Luke Cage represents the success that black people have made in America. I agree they shouldn't just focus on those guys that is kinda annoying.

The Man-Thing/Satana dynamic is interesting. There is an old story where this weird goth/witch character has a pseudosexual relationship with MT, sort of get that vibe 🙂 good to see a bit of the weird
I knew you'd love that 😂

I really liked that MACH-V recruited good ol' Shocker partially because he was a Spiderboy's villain. Old hatreds never die.
Yeah, I'm still liking Thunderbolts after all these years, and I've been reading it since the very first issue came out (except the Fight Club fiasco, I didn't really read them).
I was ready for a change after the Dark Reign period and I think Cage works quite well as the new leader - I like the way the series reinvents itself over different periods. Having guys like Juggernaut, Ghost, Man-Thing, and Satana coming in are all interesting. It's also good having some of the originals around and Moonstone should always be in it. The only thing they should change right now is the art - I think it could be better.
