You will never get that answer from folks who NEVER read the books in question.
Because that is NOT the first time that claim has been tossed and the reply never points out anything SPECIFIC.
It's always generalize comments or focus on stuff that has NOTHING to do with the book.
Take Marvel & DC away-they still have everybody else around. What you will see is a REMOVAL of the folks causing issues.What would these retailers do if Marvel pulled all their line and started selling digital only? They'd go out of business that much quicker. But hey just keep on pushing them towards that reality.
Because all they care about is Marvel and what their books have in them. Remove Marvel-they are not going to attack other books.
They want to be PANDERED to.Last year it was SJW content killing Marvel now its variant covers. The guy says that Marvel should be trying to get new readers on board after complaining that all the new characters were bad for business.
They want the stuff that THEY approved of.
And they don't care that a lot of the stuff they fuss about is in OTHER companies books.
If they hate the LGBT content in Iceman-I can name 5 books that would have them going NUTS.
If 2 variants on a Marvel book is too much-Zombie Tramp average 9 a month. Yes a 5K book had that many.
