If I were a cynical guy, I'd say that the inevitable controversy is a part of their marketing strategy. The comic comes out (no pun intended) in November, so they probably have a whole month of PR shit mapped out.
On the one hand yeah, it's a cynical move because "the market is right for it" but on the other like the article said it's good for people to be able to see themselves represented in popular media and the chud meltdowns are going to be amazing over this.
They announce anything and everything to try and get attention for their books
Lest we forget the steaming shit show that was the new New Warriors (2021) and their belief that we would be excited over characters that were named Snowflake and Safespace
Why the fuck did they "announce" it

No, totally, and I do think it's unironically a cool thing to do, but they're definitely banking on some free anger-based media attention.
lmao it's already starting

Nothing riles up the hogs like messing with their nostalgia or their treats.
You know why
