Hell yeah.
I have faith that Jolley and Cross can pull it off. So the fuck what if it's a black character... if it was a new, white one nobody would say anything about that.
And... to be honest... Ronnie Raymond is stale. Complicated. And unlikable. He can't keep his own book. I think this is a good way to go, as long as Raymond is sufficiently written off (unlike Byrne's Doom Patrol).
