Holy shit, fuck you DC.
I was waiting for people to be pissed that Mr Terrific and Static Shock got canceled, and for them to instantly scream “FUCK YOU RACIST BITCHES” but the truth is, those books were just not good enough and didn’t feature anything truly innovative or gripping enough to maintain a steady, monthly fanbase, especially when there’s shit like Demon Knights or Animal Man to devour. They’ll show up in other places.Wow DC, not only do Black readers get the message that we’re mostly monsters from the way your creative portrays us in your works, but now we’re not good enough to actually write your books?
What the fuck?
Way to be diverse, assholes. I guess you really don’t want to give money to or get money from POCs. Dicks.
(This is just cementing my desire to ruin Dan Didio’s experience at Megacon next month. And I am going to head butt anyone who dares to tell me that this shit isn’t racist. Because it fucking is and I am fucking pissed off.)
Write a bad, non-selling comic like Mr. Terrific, get it cancelled. That’s how it works bruh. DC and Marvel don’t have money to toss around when shit don’t sell, sadly. You want a certain book to stick around for any reason at all? Buy it, get others to buy it. You’ve def got an internet connection, blow the series’ horn all over tumblr and message boards.
Mr Terrific while good just didn’t sell well enough even Dido’s own book OMAC (which was fucking fantastic) got canceled. Its just bad luck and poor sales
Yeah, I’m not really upset about this.
It’s more like they were not well known enough or popular enough to take on a big book that’s guaranteed safe, consequently the books they were on weren’t big sellers and most of them were mediocre-to-bad. They just wiped the lowest selling books to make way for new ones, since it seems like at least for a while they’re trying to keep it to 52 books which means a constant changing of the guard.
Also they’re not really firing anyone, because that’s not how it works? :\
