All Marvel's "Black Lives Matter, illegal immigration, and LGBTQ issues" Get Axed

Evidently, there's not nearly enough GB progressive-like juveniles in the whole wide world to actually pay for such utter comic book nonsense:

Comic book readers are apparently not fans of progressive politics—a fact no more evident in Marvel’s decision to cancel every single one of its comics that has been nominated by the LGBTQ advocacy group, GLAAD.

In December, the publisher announced its decision to cancel many of its comics, citing poor sales. LGBTQ, feminist, and social justice-themed comics involving stories that revolved around Black Lives Matter, illegal immigration, and LGBTQ issues were among those to end up on the chopping block.

...The lineup, which was announced yesterday, includes “America,” featuring a teenage Latina girl named America Chavez, whose stories revolve around her life as a queer immigrant in college. The comic’s author, Gabby Rivera, is an outspoken “Latinx” writer who goes on periodic rants about “sexism,” “antiblackness,” and President Trump on social media.

Another GLAAD-nominated comic to get the axe is “Black Panther: World of Wakanda,” written by feminist and “body positive” activist Roxane Gay, and black writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, whose other comic, “Black Panther & The Crew,” was also canceled earlier in 2017 following dismal sales.

Sina Grace’s “Iceman,” which reimagines the classic character as a gay man who “comes out of the closet” later in life, was also canceled in December. According to the author, the comic was a “hard sell for retailers.” ComicChron, which collects comic book sales figures, reported that “Iceman” sold around 15,000 comics when it first launched in July—a figure that decreased by almost 30 percent by the end of the year.

I know you're a troll and all but still wanna ask why you think it's nonsense.

Sorry: if you need to "ask why" comic books are nonsense, you're obviously not old enough to post on this Board.

Does him not being old enough to post here excite you, eeyore?

I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for something entertaining. A nice rant or something.

Sorry, again: I'm not interested in the story of your life.

Black Panther has never been able to hold his own title. First attempt was in 1977(ish) only lasted 15 issues, some characters just aren't interesting enough to keep a title going.

Mostly because Marvel just beats things like dead horses. Make T'Challa a mutant and put him in the X-men and it will be fine, that's pretty much all they've really pushed for years Most else is rehashes.

Yep
Not a bad character and the movie looks fun but never really got my attention.

 

[Hypoxia]

How many comics titles have Marvel, DC, and Image published since, say, 2000? How many titles have they discontinued? What is the average lifespan of a title?

Keep in mind: comics (paper) are low-volume products. Even the biggies never sell many issues. Check circulation numbers and consider how influential these titles really are.

So what did you AXE them?

Why do you have to bring Pookie into this?

When Black Panther started, he was a falconer, which doesn't amount to much. He teamed up with Captain America to defeat the Red Skull and minions, but after that, what did he have.

I wonder if some readers confused him with the terrorist groups of the same name.

To succeed with the X Men, he would have to discover or develop some unique talent, which would make him a whole new character. This is not likely to happen.

Why do you AXE?

Typical, entitled racist straight old white man. You all are decreasing in population anyway, and it burns you.

Your type just wants everyone else to shut up and put up with shit. Well, no we won't shut up.


So you can go straight to hell. You are evil, it's people like you who made slavery, Jim Crow and the holocaust possible, labeling people SJWs for asking for some goddamn respect.


Go fuck yourself.

What's evil is raising white children in shame, to think no matter how hard they work or what they accomplish, they didn't earn it because of their 'privilege' telling them they owe native Americans even though that was hundreds of years ago, that they owe black people even though no one has owned a slave here since after the civil war and that they should apologize for everything, take pride in nothing and if they ever have the nerve to stick up for themselves they're racist.

That's evil

That and patronizing minorities and LGBT and immigrants and whoever else you pretend to care about to try and make yourself look self righteous and be part of a lynch mob herd mentality.

So go find a safe place for your white guilt and die there.

You have to be really hard into comics to have any idea of the number of titles going on at any given time and I'm sure the average issues per title is probably pretty low. Still there is some quality stuff out there.

It's amazing how little grace some people display. It's almost like they are happy that something failed - something that didn't hurt them in any way, but apparently they just want to celebrate the failure because they think it causes liberal tears or something.

And then have the irony of trying to call others juvenile.

Interesting monsters have interesting hairdos.

You tribal racist pieces of shit sure love to go all fantasy uppity with your perpetual, self-projecting victimhood drivel.

More like labeling people SJW's for thinking not always getting their way = racism from evil whiteness.

Basic racists like yourself.

You're a degenerate and a parasite.....you first.

God forbid your son or daughter doesn't mate with a darky. Or produce a queer boy.

I would hate to see how you would treat that child throwing a hissy fit because injustices are exposed.

You are a rotten and selfish demonic man, to the core.

Wouldn't matter....they would still have to not be a total cry baby SJWs to get along in the world. They are still going to have to get up when they don't want to and go do shit they hate doing with a smile on their face at least temporarily to keep their life from being total shit. Who they are married to or fuck in their off time is totally irrelevant.

They can throw the hissy fit until they figure out it's not going to do anything but make them look like a fucking moron SJW. They can cry it out until they learn.

Not rewarding children for throwing temper tantrums or behaving like spoiled, entitled little shits isn't selfish or demonic, it's called good parenting.

Your parents obviously failed you horribly.

In other words no matter how fucked up they were, if they wanted to succeed in life they couldn't turn out like nowisthetime.

This isn't a matter of racism, it's a matter of extremely poor business strategy.
