😆 that was bad. The fact they are talking to Hudlin about this issue shows this magazine is not very smart. Hell, Hudlin is one of the reasons certain comics aren't selling well. Not to mention the shit writing in CW and other problems. Hell, Annihilation is the only good thing in Marvel currently. Even JLA, which I like alot, isn't doing as well IMO. Sure, IC was awesome, but this 'Tornado's path' arc is pissing me off. Racial diversity is a red herring, they're just trying to cover up that the writing has gone to shit and they won't admit it's their own damn fault comics aren't selling well.
"Take Marvel Comics, home to such super-powered luminaries as Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine and the Fantastic Four."
It's funny, they mention Cap. a few times, yet fail to recognize that he JUST DIED.
i guess Captain America is black ermm
and in other news....
"Somehow, in this medium people are so out of touch with popular culture that they don't understand that black culture is popular culture."
when was it ever "cool" or "hip" to read comics?ermm
"He adds that Marvel is committed to keeping the book alive, even if it means ignoring low sales figures.
"If we can't have the Black Panther as a major player in the Marvel Universe then we're not doing our job. This isn't affirmative action – it's just the facts. This is a character that we feel has legs, and if it takes an extra commitment to making that be the case, then so be it."
so, the book def. sucks, but you are keeping it alive because you think you HAVE to have an African American (or in this case African) SuperHero in the front lines?
😐
this article is 😘

I kind of wish people would take a hint because the day the comic came out there were all kinds of "CAP JUST GOT SHOT AND NOW HE'S DEAD" threads. What if I wanted to be surprised? Jerks.

They don't go into story detail at all in the article. So it'd actually be weird if they DID mention Cap just died. Not to mention it would be unnecessarily blurting out a spoiler.I kind of wish people would take a hint because the day the comic came out there were all kinds of "CAP JUST GOT SHOT AND NOW HE'S DEAD" threads. What if I wanted to be surprised? Jerks.
The thing is, and i think this needs to be pointed out, that the large majority of comic readers are young white males, and they're the key demographic comics are aimed towards (as in young males, regardless of colour, it just so happens that the white ones are the majority), and what people like hudlin (i love boomerang, but he's a tool) fail to realise is that if the character is written well, it wont matter a damn whether the character is black, white, orange or green...
as somebody said, this is just an excuse...
having more black or asian characters won't make comics better, having more well-written characters will, be they whatever colour they are...

Well it is unlikely that an American based company is going to portray many middle eastern characters as they know there is the possibility people will associate them with the current climate of us westerners over there killing men women and children. (Brits and Americans alike, neither side of the pond is exempt from this atrocity). Plus it's not like any of those countries are facing Civil War themselves, just not of a superhero or registration act kind ✅
But, if Hudlin is right about other media being mostly Black, then wouldn't it be perfectly ok for comics to be mostly white? Sounds like Hudlin wants all entertainment companies to be like BET and only have whites on as cops and uneducated buffoons.
I hate Hudlin, simply because he's blatantly racist and uses his own race to climb further up the corporate latter. It's like, this douche-bag talks about how much he loves the black people but he's a head honcho on a BET, that channel plays videos that makes us look like thieves and gangsters 24/7. BET is worse than the Klan when it comes to pushing steriotypes about black people.
I just....hate...Hudlin...so much....so, so much.
