You mean these guys?
These guys point out to BUSINESS PRACTICES.
Yet every month we get thread after thread attacking POC, LGBT & women lead books of Marvel. While others including DC get free passes despite worst books and lower sales.
Miles, Panther, Moon Girl, Gwen, Squirrel Girl, Khan, Cho, Jane & Gwenpool have outlasted Superwoman, Cyborg & Blue Beetle.
Especially after hearing DC does diversity better. Where are the retailer attacking DC for making those books along with a COLLECTION of books no one asked for like Flintstones, Future Quest, Mother Panic, Wacky Raceland, Doom Patrol, New Superman, Southland Vigilante, Cave Carson, Ambush Bug, Dark Matter line, Duke Thomas and Apollo & Midnighter. Southland never made it pass issue 3. Black Lightning mini has done stuff that would get Marvel books TORCHED on youtube. Marvel's so-called SJW books have beaten DC's collection at various levels. Along with Valiant's Faith and friends, IDW's Hasbro Universe, Dynamite, Dark Horse, Lionforge and Image.
And today I saw someone bring up a good point-maybe this is a LESSON for store owners to stop relying on two companies to stay in business.
Maybe Marvel (and DC too) wound't behave the way they do if there was more support for the other companies and SELF control by retailers.
Why should Dc invest in anyone at DC not named Batman when he can Mary Sue at will and it gets over ordered?
Why should Marvel care about the X-Men when despite nonstop trashing those fans still supported it?
All those cries of blank doing it better did not result in higher sales for those companies. Because Faith at Valiant is WAY better than a lot of books at Dc & Marvel. So is Lionforge.
