I know what I said. And the Rafael Albuquerque Batgirl variant is a perfect example of DC self-censoring due to public outcry.

So you are agreeing with me: you want free speech for sexists but not for people against sexism. Got it.

0 interest in a mummy running around a Navy Seal Team. Wolf Man will most likely running around Central Park and Frankenstein will be some guy in a basement.
Gothic horror placed in the time these books where written needs to return.

Oh I had no idea they were set now. That makes me even less confident
the idea is sound though. It didnt have the best ending imo but I liked penny dreadful and the way it mashed up some of those characters in some new ways.ViewtifulJC

You mean a variant that the creators of the comic themselves didnt even want
I dont think you guys know what the word "censorship" actually means. Like by this logic, Marvel is self-censoring the X-Men books because public outcry about how shit they are.

That's beside the point, isn't it? DC hired Albuquerque to do a variant. The reason they pulled the cover was directly reactionary to the social media backlash. I'm not sure DC gave two shits what the creative team wanted.
Was that mentioned in an article somewhere? I missed it if so.
thank you!

Skankhunt42 ain't got shit on Frank Cho.

Five man, up to the krang war. I stopped there because the person selling them didn't have the micro series volumes or the secret history of the foot clan book
It was more likely the social media backlash. Gail Simone did a pretty good rundown on the variant cover process several weeks ago when Frank Cho split from doing variants on Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman. The majority of creators do have some input on the standard cover for their book, as it's a representation of their work.
Variants, however, are handled more by the art editor and variant artist only. This is because variants are done more as an incentive to retailers to increase orders rather than to act as a representation of the creative team's work. The only time there's an exception to this is for more A-list creators like Rucka, Johns, Bendis, Snyder, etc who might rock the boat if they have objections.
Cameron Stewart, Brenden Fletcher, and Babs Tarr are great creators but they ain't A-list.
Do you think them saying they didn't want it had no effect?

I get that the creative team wasn't happy. I just don't know how much sway that would hold over decisions like variant covers. I doubt the creative team on USAvengers would be able to change the fact there are going to be 50 variant covers of #1.
Either way, I'm done talking about it. I never meant to get into an argument over the whole thing. Next time I'll just keep my opinions to myself.
SHUT UP!
NOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes because this would clearly be the same situation.

I wasn't comparing the two in terms of cultural sensitivity. Just that variants aren't handled by creative teams.
It did in the grand scheme of social media backlash but that seemed after the fact, if I remember the timeline of events correctly. The creative team really didn't make their objections public until after DC pulled the cover.
It's the most wonderful time of the year

Not it still looks like fucking Summer everywhere I go. Poor fall is getting skipped this year.

Maybe. But I think that has more to due with the industry's inability to outgrow its characteristics of being a boy's club. Comics are for everyone, but that doesn't mean the publishers still don't cater themselves to a largely adult male audience.
Wait what :0

Come back for the November OT where we get back to the fun stuff.
New thread is up, please move most of the conversation over to the new thread. I think you can decide what to leave behind. Zombeen sucks.

Umm... so is this thread mostly comic talk or drama? I really never posted in here before.
Son those are fighting words. RSH's run was really good and rarely reflected Shulk's comics. Didn't read Red Hulk's so can't comment there.

It's exactly like hanging out in a comic book shop. Exactly. Take that as you will, but I love it.

So Afterlife with Archie is pretty cool. Love me some Francavilla art.
Hopefully, no one puts a massive Trump Pence sign in the lawn like at the local comic shop

It's a never-ending balls-out death battle of ideas, with the soul of art itself at stake. You log on to the grid, expect a hyperviolent mindfuck beyond the limits of perception. You will be cleansed of pre-conceptions in a ritual baptism by critical fire, and you will emerge a new kind of person. A better one, ready for gladiatorial combat, with strength above all others.
