Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

Here's an interesting video about DC sales. The guy says that he's been told by an insider that "the hammer is about to fall on DC comics" by management. Says sales are horrendous and people are starting to notice. He sure sounds like he knows what he's talking about. If true, I would ima...

Woke-$#!( also seeks to displace or replace traditional archetypes rather than joining them by adding something new to the existing mix.
I think this is a good way to articulate the debate…displace/replace versus adding something new. I’m stealing that :thumb:

Re: Layoffs & Resignations Leave VALIANT’s Future in Doubt

Was looking forward to seeing Liam Sharpe’s art on XO. Not heard particular good things about Cloonan/Conrad as writers though but was hoping for the best.

Re: Dino Looking to Buy Back Valiant? (Bleeding Cool)

If Dinesh does but back Valiant will it be at a lower price than he sold his shares for? Also, he’s been oddly quiet so I think he’s working on this in the background. What do you all think? I think it is time to let Valiant rest for a while. Recover from the damage of the last few years. The price...

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

In comics the reality is that the vast majority of customers are still white males (to some peoples disgust). Not because there’s never been female, gay or ethnic characters in the past as those books have been on the shelves for decades but have never proven to consistently sell as there isn’t eno...

It’s all on this Valiant published books section…there’s only about 4 people who contribute these days though so feel free to jump in :thumb:

Re: The Woke Comics Backlash Begins

As the token actual gay person who occasionally posts on this board (I know most of y'all barely know who I am), I agree that woke stuff is cringe. But a character being gay, or black, or trans, or a woman isn't by itself being woke. Woke is when you spend all your time preaching about how virtuous...

It was only a matter of time I guess. Perhaps for the best. RIP Valiant, again. :| The death of Valiant comics 4 years after the majority ownership decided in 2018 they didn't need Dinesh Shamdasani, the primary creative force... seems familiar since...

Re: Layoffs & Resignations Leave VALIANT’s Future in Doubt

Post Dinesh era I blame Fred Pierce or whoever it was who appointed the editors at that point. This was a pivotal moment where they chose sub standard creators and chose badly on the direction of the company. They didn’t learn and quickly doubled down on hiring the Heather Antos types who in term br...
