They're in the same universe now?

I wish Marvel would grow some balls, make 616 it's own line with an advancing timeline and pick a different universe where the FF debuted in 2012 for all their main lines.

Yeah after Secret Wars reset everything, Miles was the only Ultimate Universe character to survive I think.

I knew about him but I thought Spider-Gwen was in her own universe.

They still call the main one 616 right?

Spider Gwen's earth 35 is still a thing but she spends a lot more and more time in 616 when I stopped reading >.>

Why the fuck does DC keep letting him do shit with their characters?

That art looks like total ass.

Even if it didn't, why does he constantly draw people in that weird "leg tucked jumping" pose?

To be fair, he's only doing the covers to the books.

I mean, he didn't even write most of DKIII. Which is probably why it's so much better than it has any right to be.

Jean Grey is also.

So many levels of blah.
I just soooo don't give a crap about the X-Men anymore.

A Storm or Domino series would grab my interest again but that is about it.

What... The... Fuck...
I haven't been reading the Mockingbird ongoing, 1st issue was good & fun, then I got behind and then I saw that the 3rd issue had gone off into this giant tangent about tampons, so I put it on the back burner.
Last issue came out today.
The writer Chelsea Cain has retconned Bobbi's rape by the Phantom Rider as her choosing to cheat on Clint and the idea that she was drugged and raped was just something Clint made up in his head to justify the cheating.
SPOILER: Show

Ok... so why did Bobbi let the Rider fall off a cliff to his death if he didn't rape her??? Because she hasn't reconned his death.
So... Is Bobbi now a random murderer (along with being a sociopathic adultress?)
GOD DAMMIT :facepalm:
Marvel for fuck's sake, do you understand the concepts of pathos and a editor?

When artists realize that they don't just make comics for horny boys anymore. The market is no longer niche; it's mainstream, and so they must conform to mainstream values. You want sexy comics, you'll need to go more underground.

1.) The cover wasn't actually sexualized in anyway.
The Manara cover was sexual I will concede but this is light years from being such.
2.) It's a VARIANT cover that would only be sold at a specific store. The entire point of a variant is to be something different then the main cover, it has its own value or even audience.
3.) The values of Tumblr/Twitter 3rd wave feminism are not mainstream values.
4.) Sex appeal IS something mainstream people want.

Sexualized depiction? She's just standing there, how very terrible. I'm more concerned with how the hell all that hair is supposed to fit inside the helmet.

View Original PostRay wrote:^ but that's the thing that people who complain about stuff like this are the people who don't buy the comics.

...

There are reasons to appreciate the rise of social media in our lives. But the way the outrage Brigade has weaponized it against creators, forcing them to self-censor or else have their careers and reputations smeared, honestly makes me wonder if its really worth it.

It seems to me that if these people complaining aren't affecting the business in some way, then the artists shouldn't care. However, it's clear that they do care, and so these complainers must have some influence. The rise of social media naturally connects people to things they aren't going to like; it's something both sides of the coin are going to have to learn to live with. If artists want to continue putting out content, they're also going to have to deal with backlash from people who are offended by it. Plain and simple. Their move after that is their own, but they probably came to their conclusion for good reasons, whatever it may be, self-censorship or freedom of expression, and that's their concern. If they're concerned about their reputation being smeared by their own content, maybe they really should be reassessing their content.
