The comic book industry is due a cunting. And I don’t mean the Beano, Dandy or other children’s comics. I’m talking the Marvel and DC type comics. Now, I’ll admit, I personally am not an avid fan or collector of such comics. 2000AD, that’s my bag. I do, however, know a lot of people who are into that sort of thing, and are now wishing they had never picked up that first Spiderman/Superman comic. Why? Because the “creators” behind modern Marvel/DC comics have decided to follow in the footsteps of Hollywood and gone woke.
Not only are they have gone woke, they’ve also gone on the attack against fans (i.e. people who have read these comics since they were young children) who dare to complain that the modern versions are nothing like the comics they are fans. I can’t name most of these so called “creators” because their names aren’t worth remembering, but just recently, they’ve taken to insulting the fans who don’t like what these clowns are doing to their comics. You know the sort of thing, manbabies, racists, sexists, misogynists, homophobic, Islamophobic, yada yada yada. A growing number have taken to telling fans (or rather, paying customers) to fuck off and not buy their comics if they don’t like them. Sound advice in my opinion.
To give you an example of how woke comics have become, there’s a skinny shit who works for Marvel by the name of Daniel Kibblesmith (had to google that). He’s created a whole new group of “super heroes” who are part of something called the New Warriors. His previous claim to fame was a book he wrote called Santa’s Husband (anyone care to guess what that’s about?) Would you like to meet his super duper heroes boys and girls? Well, we have B Positive, who’s a gay vampire. Screentime, who can see and access the internet without a device, and get this, he acquired this power after his scientist granddad did some experiments and Screentime was exposed to internet gas (seriously). Then we have Trailblazer, who has a rucksack that contains an entire dimension/universe that she can pull stuff out of. She’s also fat as fuck.
And I’ve saved the best two for last. Are you ready for this (drum roll) Snowflake and Safespace. I shit…you…not. He actually called them that. These two are twins, Snowflake is a female and Safespace is male. Well actually, that’s inaccurate, because they’re non-binary. The two of them wear these weird shorts onesies with Snowflake’s being blue and Safespace’s being pink. Snowflake can shoot ice shurikens and Safespace can protect innocent with a force field (that sounds pretty lame to me). And the way they hold each other suggests they are more than just brother and sister. And apparently, Piddleshit created this bunch because he was intimidated by actual superheroes like Wolverine, the X-Men, Spiderman etc. The best of it is, he hasn’t just taken flak from real comic fans. Snowflakes have been throwing shit at him too, because those a-holes he’s created aren’t woke enough.
Haa…haa…haa.
But that is basically what modern superhero comics have descended to. We also have female Thor, female Iron Man now that Tony Stark is dead and apparently, Captain America is actually a Nazi. And the dickheads who have come up with shit are getting all shitty that people don’t like it. Like I said, they are actually telling people who complain, “If you don’t like it, don’t buy it”. I’ve been telling all the comic fans I know to listen. That’s the best advice they could get. Once the fuckers in the comic industry start feeling the pinch they’ll either double down and blame fans, or they’ll come crawling and grovelling back to fans.
