Heavy Metal magazine was asked why they went so “puritan” with the latest comics of their most famous protagonist and covered up Taarna in a far less sexy costume.
Their responses were... less than ideal. @HeavyMetalInk done gone full #woke.

Your industry’s fan base is adults who play video games and read comic books and you think calling an unknown amount of them “manbabies” and telling them to stay away from your product is a sustainable business strategy?
Maybe the “babies” are actually the “creatives.” Grow up.

Pro-Tips:
+ Stop exploiting retailers
+ End line-wide crossovers
+ Enforce a social media policy
+ Stop putting out #woke comics
+ Respect the legacy heroes
+ Make unsold books returnable
+ Hire on merit & talent, not politics
+ Focus on great comics, not diversity & inclusion
Everyone here at Marvel has been working closely all week with our talent, retailers, distributors, and even fans, around the world to make sure that all their differing needs and concerns are heard and addressed in these uncertain times.

What #ComicsGate hates:
+ injecting comics with unnecessary progressive politics
+ hiring people based on their "demographic" status, not merit
+ replacing classic characters with shallow facsimiles
+ purging creators for their politics
+ claiming honest critique is "harassment"

Employees like this are the main reason why DC Comics is failing and considering replacing all their legacy heroes. He doesn’t respect the comics, the history, or the heritage. A brief perusal of his timeline will back this up.
DC needs new editors, and especially new leadership
As a film fan, JOKER left me physically uncomfortable with how it decided to depict violence, and how it connected that violence to mental illness.
As a comic fan, I disagree with its conclusion about the character it drew inspiration from.

"You took from [Peter David] his creativity, then when he needed you most, you turned your backs on him while he suffered in excruciating pain and medical debt. Your hearts are black and your coffers full." @BillyTucci
Marvel pauses to remember Peter David, whose brilliant writing defined the Marvel Universe and the entire comics medium. His clever storytelling and unbound creativity shaped the Hulk, X-Factor, and more, and his work went on to inspire millions. Our hearts are with his family.
