Hey man, you started the thread.
I left Twitter for the most part about 6 months ago and stopped following the geek news sites. So I haven't really been privy to this until the last week or so. Instead of reading about the comics industry, I've just been (gasp!) reading comics. I particularly like the current Mister Miracle series.

The thing is, this isn't a particularly new song though. I heard it when they made Jaime Reyes the new Blue Beetle. I'm sure there was a rendition of it in 1974, when they replaced the X-Men with Different X-Men. The tune ain't new, and it's not like it's been anything other than mediocre.

So, I thought it was worth looking over. These are the names on the blacklist, the ones that regressives are having a problem with. Andy Khouri Alanna Smith Heather Antos Tom Brevoort Ales Kot Aubrey Sitterson B. Clay Moore Dan Slott Gabby Rivera Gail Simone Jennifer de Guzman Kelly Sue DeConnick Kurt Busiek Larry Hama Magdalene Vissagio Mark Waid Matt Fraction Max Bemis Nick Spencer Sina Grace Ta-Nehisi Coates Tim Doyle Zachary Davisson Andrea Shockling Colleen Doran Jamal Igle Marissa Louise Ramon Villalobos Tess Fowler Kelly Fitzpatrick Tamra Bonvillain Triona Tree Farrell Alex de Campi Amy Chu Christopher Sebela Justin Jordan Kirk Perez Paul Allor Ryan Ferrier Ulysses Farinas David Brothers Kieran Schiach Rich Johnston Jude Terror Joseph Glass Matt Santori Griffith Stephanie Cooke Colin Spacetwinks I also saw a poster today, of Black Panther, badly photoshopped to be holding a watermelon. It also wasn't called Black Panther anymore. I'll let you fill in the blank yourself. So damn sad. |

I'm amused that G. Willow Wilson isn't on this list.

This list is about 5 days old. It's been expanded apparently.

Mark Waid, Dan Slott and Brevoort are real pricks to people in general, even if you aren't a "regressive".

I can't said as I've met the latter two, but I've met Waid, and he was nice enough to me. Of course, I met him socially...and not when we were opposite sides of a table.

I want more original heroes. I on't want a black batman, I want an original black superhero, that is better than using a hero's name to sell a new character. Like I get that a previously established title would have a better chance to sell then a new ip. I'm not mad that they do this, I just wish we were in a position to do it better. Granted, I'm a huge manga reader. So literally about everything I have read stars non-white people so the race thing is a mute point.

Brevoort's openly admitted online that ticking readers off is what makes them money, and we should "take our medicine". Waid has threatened people over on Twitter for disagreeing with him and held a private chat room with other writers (also on the blacklist) to beat up or intice one of the comicsgate bigwigs at a convention. |

Now I feel entirely out of the loop.
The hashtag has bigwigs? Is that like being a BNF?

Several of those people don't even work for Marvel or even in licensed comics anymore. Like, what the hell is Larry Hama doing there? Is he doing anything other than OG GI Joe right now? Matt Fraction? He hasn't been with Marvel for three years, has little social media presence - I remember him deleting his Twitter and giving everyone the verbal finger after people started making creepy comments about his kids years back - and doesn't do much more than Sex Criminals right now. Kelly Sue left about the same time. Jamal Igle hasn't done steady mainstream work since 2011 (last I heard he took up a marketing position in a smaller press company)
When did David Brothers get in the public eye? Did someone hire him and I didn't hear about it? Good on him if that happened. I've read his stuff from 4thletter to Comics Alliance on. The guy got me to think and learn more than a few things about black perspective on comics and the treatment within them. Given what he wrote about then, I'm not at all shocked he ended up on a s***list or two. Gail Simone doesn't surprise me either. She's pissed people off since as far back as pointing out the poor treatment of women in comics and coining "women in refrigerators". I miss her on DC books. Secret Six was great. Rich Johnstons inclusion amuses me, since people actually involved in making comics don't like the guy either and Mark Waid's wished the guy could be blackballed entirely at least once. Oh, I'm sure she was just overlooked. Quote:

When all you have is a grindstone, everything looks like...an ax?

Zarius Two and yourself? I've been doing my homework, watching Diversity in Comics to try and get perspective. I wouldn't say he knows much more than the average reader, but his ASMR seems to be winning him friends. |

Damn, our very own Paul Allor made the list. Makes me want to check out more of his work outside the TMNT
I wish dumb, regressive assholes would just find their own media to consume
