Alright kids, want to know why everyone is dropping every Marvel book like it’s hot?

This.

This is why.

I’m not gonna even break it down cus polygon has you covered.

Normally I’m of the policy to ignore books I don’t like and support diverse books I do, and if you choose to keep doing that, go for it man. But I can’t. Not with this. I can’t give Marvel any money at all. Even though I adore some of their titles. I just can’t.

Not until this is gone. 

@vaknosh

I’m definitely done with the Netflix shows now too

Seriously @nickspencerly please go fuck yourself raw.

The linked article summarizes Secret Empire #0 so you can know what’s happening in that garbage fire without feeding it your money.

“In our overview of the lead-up to Secret Empire yesterday, we talked about how Captain America was created by two Jewish artists who would go on to serve in World War II, and how the change to his character has been called out as being directly disrespectful of their contributions. The events in Secret Empire #0 double down on that disrespect by not only brazenly altering the intentions of Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, but altering the course of the fictional history of the setting they helped create, for a real war they served in.”

oh hey, this is a great opportunity to boost Colin Spacetwinks’ new essay about Marvel. it’s really well researched and has explored a lot of ground (believe it or not this bizarre fixation with pushing their weird fantasy Nazi storyline is just one of many problems the company has right now) and is the biggest proof right now that you don’t need to keep giving this crap your money and support when indie comics and webcomics are right there

This is heartbreaking to hear. Never met him, but like most in my generation I grew up on The Last Unicorn, and I really loved his latest novel. Signal boosting.
