What do you mean?

I think what he's saying is, and feel free to correct me Boxy, is that those people don't read something like God Loves Man Kills and realize that it's not just talking about a fictional guy that hates fictional mutants.

Though it does look like he's calling out your reading comprehension, I don't think that's what he was going for.

This fucking industry keeps throwing women to the harassment mob instead of standing with them. They're all guilty of it, but Marvel, and specifically Alex Alonso, have been especially cowardly when dealing with that shit. Maybe it's bad business to say creepos aren't welcome. I could give two fucks. It's the right fucking thing to do.

I'm assuming that creepos make up a good quarter of their audience, at least.

Bendis' response has been so tone deaf, it's sad.

This legit makes me fucking angry. That's like his best defense is saying "She's not with us." Marvel and DC both do this shit. Instead of defending the person they fucking hired, they throw them to the mob.

WTF are people even mad at her for? Making an awesome Mockingbird book?

Cover for Mockingbird #8

I thought it was a great cover. But motherfuckers have to take everything they don't like personally.

Simone fighting for Cain.

Burning garden weasels!

Today's the kind of day where you just have to ask yourself, "Why am I still associating myself with these monsters?"

I don't think being a comics fan makes you guilty by association. You have no control over what other people do.

People, when given the illusion of anonymity, often suck, particularly when a platform serves to give them a megaphone when in real life no one would really care what they think and would quickly dismiss their views as hateful and small minded.

There should be some kind of asshole test you have to take before you're granted a pass to use the internet.

Has anyone been picking up these Michael Moorcock Elric library editions that Titan have been putting out? I think the third one is out today.

I've seen the novels before, but I never read them. Was similarly disinterested in the comics. Is it fantasy? I don't really read much in that genre anymore.

X-Men fans reading X-Men and not catching the Civil Rights and racism allegory.

Invincibility Theme

It's a sonic game in 2016. You know how this is gonna go.

2017, actually. The simple fact that Christian "Taxman" Whitehead is involved is as close to a guarantee of this being great as it gets.

Yea, it's pretty old school fantasy in the vein of Conan, maybe a little weirder and more sorcery-ish. The comics themselves are 80s era, not sure quite how old the actual novels are. Adaptations by Roy Thomas & P Craig Russell. Mostly interested because Mignola talks alot in his foreword/afterwords in the HB collections about being heavily inspired by Moorcock because of the nature of his heroes often being doomed from the outset. There are much newer Elric comic adaptations but I know little about those either,

[TheOnlyMook]

Finally caught up on Paper Girls and this arc has definitely elevated it from 'Holy cow this is one of my favorite comics right now' to 'Holy cow, this is the best comic out right now, period'.

Stoked to pick up Outcast and Saga tonight

Captain America Steve Rogers #6: Nick Spencer continues to write and explain the happenings of Civil War 2 better than Bendis.

Rick Jones even says

"Why don't they just watch Minority Report?"

I asked about Simone in the WW spread btw. Was an oversight. If you can find a way to get her name to fit somewhere in the spread message them.

She wrote novels and was respected in that medium. All of a sudden she writes a comic and everyone wants to jump on her. I'm probably gonna make a thread on this cuz this shit is shameful.

Haha I know right? I remember back at the image expo they mentioned that they were aiming for a ghibli vibe too. I could get Nausicaa or Mononoki in different ways from that, as well as the delicious saga feels .

If you do I'll collect some of the tweets by people who actually stand up for her and deserve to be comic role models like Busiek and others.

Messi shouldn't talk about what they don't know :V

Speaking of which, this one is releasing in November-

Gonna pre-order it soon.

In terms of big company roles you're never going to see them comment on matters like this via twitter.

 

[VanWinkle]

It's a shame she left now. I was looking through her mentions on Twitter and for the past four hours at least (hundreds of tweets; didn't feel like scrolling forever), she received zero harrassment and TOOONS of support.

Also people who think that death threats are opinions are really mad that Simone compared Cain to Snyder/King.

Chelsea Cain. Gail likes her stuff, kinda reviewed on twitter. This offended people for some reason despite being pure opinion.

I never really thought about it, but Mockingbird has been a consistently great comic.

It's a bit of a generalization. A (seemingly sizeable) portion of the comic audience consists of garbage people. Same with the gaming community, or anything else that has traditionally been male-dominated.

Re: The Mockingbird news
Ooof, well I'm sad to say that this has news has gotten me interested in reading the series now.

Kireon Gillen wrote the Thor series after JMS right? Time I gave it a re-read.

Also Ep. 1 of Batman Telltale is Free until Nov. 7th or whenabouts on Steam & Google Play, so give it a play if you're interested.

Anyone reading Seven to Eternity here? Completely missed the first issue coming out last month. How is it so far, worth picking up or wait for the trade?

Also really looking forward to this ResurXtion lineup. Cable, generation X, and Blue & Gold are exactly what I wanted to see Marvel do with the X books. I really hope the books can live up to my expectations though. All I want is for Marvel to just get back to the 90s style for these books and forget about the stupid Inhuman bs in my X books. Seriously wish Comixology would release the original Gen X books. Or really I'd like an Omnibus from Marvel.
