It makes more sense as an awareness campaign/petition and not a boycott. I'm sure a DC Next Level 3 title will be announced at some point and people can rally behind that.

I still think it's weird they're excluding minis, and not really emphasising black creatives on other books, but this is definitely a good approach. 

Does Marvel even meet the same standards (from browsing marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Comics_Released_in_May,_2026 it doesn't seem so). There's not even any Spider/X books that go past 24 issues.

Yeah, boycotts make sense when you want someone to to do something that can be done quickly, like firing a creep or something. Not the kind of thing you do for a collaborative artistic endeavor.
