"It sells less and less every month"

If period point blank the only way to make your _____ race/ ____ gender/ _____ sexual character work and sell (if even for a little while) is to hijack and race/gender/sexual preference swap a pre-existing character that sells... you're not a writer. You're a hack. Probably a hacktivist. Probably a slacktivist. Which is not to play the left's game at inventing words to win battles, it's just to save time. And your modified character does not deserve to succeed.

Which isn't to say there isn't well written comics that change characters into this or that. There is. I don't think you'll find many bad words spoken about stuff like "Strangers in Paradise" and such. But these are the creators doing that and it is organic and planned. Not some kind of new form of "This issue is the DEATH of so and so," now "guess who is gay this issue, after 30 years of comics? Better buy all 10 alternate covers, collectors!"
