After decades of relegating its LGBTQ characters to the sidelines, Marvel really turned things around with America and Iceman, its first two ongoing series featuring queer characters as their titular leads. Both books have been important additions to Marvel’s ever-expanding portfolio, but it seems as if the time has come for at least one of them to end. March’s comics solicitations are out this week and a number of titles including America are conspicuously missing, which heavily implies that the titles have been canceled. This afternoon, Marvel editor Heather Antos confirmed that Gwenpool, another title missing from the March solicits, was definitely canceled, further suggesting that any titles missing from the lineup as of today are done for.

:offtopic:That is one of my favorite Don Rosa drawings:offtopic:

A friend shared me a page of the Finnish Donald Duck Christmas special the other day. Police shot at Scrooge because they mistook him for an uncooperative homeless man. Disney comics don't fuck around to this day.

Funny how silent they are that the white guy that runs Cracked (Jason Pargin) stills writes articles under his fake Asian name of David Wong.

I've seen maybe one mention of this on my Tumblr dash, and even then it was via a Twitter screencap.

I hope that the Marvel Comics and the new EIC are going to fix the shit they made,because right DC are putting out some good shit(Metal,White Knight,Doomsday Clock(arguable) and a ton of other stuff).Canning their shitty stuff and bringing back the older character is a step in the right direction.

Why DC? He's just going to see other white guys made in the golden age and silver age with nothing that really fits SJW tastes besides Batgirl and maybe some of the online first stuff like Bombshells, Gotham City Garage, and Superhero Girls. Even DC's "diverse" books like Green Lanterns contain some material that'd be triggering to them.

Oh right, they don't know anything else.

IMHO, let's just lease leave him to suffer, please. It's for the best he understand that DC doesn't do that shit and is better off for it, too. After all, more free salt for us to mine.

They're one of the reasons why Marvel is failing. Should've just ordered them online or their local comic book stores, not like there's any demand for the comics and the store will be more than happy to unload some issues that otherwise would've collected dust or been thrown in the thrash.

Support the content you'd like to see, filthyfujoshi and they might not be cancelled in the future. Vote with your wallet, which you apparently haven't been doing.

Also, this fruit said that Marvel chose “profit and pride over quality”. Wouldn't refusing to cancel a book that is failing, be a good example of choosing pride over quality?

I like to imagine that these comics only got shitcanned because the S/J/Ws that slobber over those titles REEEEED at the new EIC of Marvel when it was discovered that he wrote comics 10 years ago under the identity of an Asian person.

No, no they're reeing because he's daring to do his job instead of pandering to them who didn't buy the fucking things anyway.

There's probably more tweets complaining about this than there ever were people prepared to fucking shell out a measily $3 a month to support it.

They mean "quality" in the sense that if you publish black lesbians and don't stop even if you're bleeding money, eventually you'll find that magical audience of black lesbians who will be so over joyed about the representation that they then cure cancer and discover all the mysteries of the universe.
 
It's a very familiar pattern. SJWs find a scene/fandom/etc that is quite active; they infect it and start pushing their agenda, existing members who argue are shouted down so they leave. Now they have a large vehicle to push their agenda until it starts to run out of money and it either attempts to turn things around or it fails completely. Then the SJWs move onto the next thing since their current one can no longer provide them with what they want. I'm quite surprised they have been able to keep doing this to whatever they want for so long now.

But this year has seen more and more attempts to pander to the SJW market only to not make any money. As so many people in this thread have pointed out, SJWs either don't have money to spend or expect to be given what they want for free. They are not a big market and certainly not a good market since they turn on you almost instantly for the tiniest thing like a psychopath. Listening to a loud minority at the peril of your regular customers is simply not good business and I expect that these companies have misinterpreted the volume of these people with the size of their numbers. Or that they will behave like normal customers in buying what they ask for. So much for that.

I really hope this is finally the start of the decline of all this SJW nonsense. These people do it for attention and the feeling of power over others. But if companies pander to them, only to lose lots of money or go out of business, this will show others that the SJWs are not worth pursuing. Then companies stop listening to them as they aren't worth it. SJWs are like children not getting their way. First they demand something and when they don't get it, they start to stomp their foot, cry and make a scene. But if this doesn't work, then they stop and will have to try another way. We've been terrorised by these children in adult bodies, screaming insane bullshit at us for far too long. The sooner they finally stop getting their way, the sooner it will die off.
