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.
Culture Marvel is cancelling their sjw comics after getting bitch slapped by the Chad free market.

These people are so far down the rabbit hole, reality itself is just an excuse.
"The comics weren't selling"
SO WHAT?! REPRESENTATION! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
"but if they don't' sell, we don't make money, we can't keep publishing without money.
SO WHAT?! REPRESENTATION!!!!!
Look, we are going to go out of business here, and then nobody gets comics. Do you understand what we're saying here?
REP-REEEEEE-SENTATION!!!! STOP MAKING EXCUSES!!!!

TBH, I'd expect nothing less from a pack of exceptional individuals who have proven to be nothing but toddlers in 20-something year old bodies, many of whom I would not be surprised have coasted through most of their lives mooching off others and have learned nothing in their lives except to kick and scream bloody murder the minute anyone disagrees with them.

Ah, but she can be. Either have her strike it out on her own after a few years like Dick Grayson did when he became Nightwing, or have her take up the Iron mantle when Tony can no longer do so (such as dying, having a career-ending injury, or simply retiring) like Miles Morales did when he became the next Spider-Man.

The only currency SJWs deal in is the "If you disagree with me or don't give me what I want you're a sexist racist nazi" dollar and man has that gone into a Zimbabwe-like hyperinflation lately.

Even the dead franchises necroed by companies like Dynamite ship 7k. It's pretty terrible for a Marvel title to be selling so close to Dynamite's illustrated fanfics.I knew the problem was bad and that it was hurting Marvel's sales, but I had no idea just how badly these comics were doing, and it's honestly pretty hilarious to see these people shrieking about their ""favorite"" comics being removed when it's so painfully obvious that almost no one was buying them. This isn't some LGBTQ+ slaughter-fest, this is economic reality going all American History X to the Social Justice crowd because Marvel doesn't want to fucking murder itself to pander to a mob that refuses to give it a single dime.
For reference, a respectable range for a comic book to hover around is anywhere from 25k-80k, depending on the character in question. The highest sales ever recorded for an individual comic book was X-Men Vol. 2, #1, with 8,186,500 copies sold. A very important distinction to remember is that shipping numbers are not sale numbers. 10,000 of these units may have shipped, but fewer than 10,000 sold, meaning that many comic retailers wound up saddled with hundreds of comic books that they just could not sell to the general public.
If that doesn't drive the point home that pandering to the Tumblr mob never results in meaningful dividends for a major company, consider this: Not only are the Aquaman comics out-selling these with an average of 44,868~ copies sold per issue, but a comic book named fucking SCOOBY APOCALYPSE out-sold every single one of these SJW comics by more than 300%-500% in total, with an average of 29,804~ copies sold per issue.
I absolutely love that capitalism is beginning to whip itself back around to bite these people in the ass. They got everything they asked for, everything, but they forgot the most important part of keeping their "favorite" franchises alive: If you don't vote with your wallets, you get to watch them die. Welcome to goddamn capitalism, Tumblr.

Or like Dick Grayson after batman rip. They totally fucked up Damian after he died and became magic, but the run with him as Robin to Grayson's batman was fantastic even if it was obviously never going to last.

I would just say "but it's true to real life, you want your story told, don't you?"
Might I add how disgusted I am that so many outlets are trying their hardest to humanize Muslims but don't give a flying shit about Sikhs? There is genuine social commentary to be extracted from the fact that not only are they a frequent target of Jihadists but they're also often mistaken for Muslims themselves, making them the targets of hate crimes from both Muslims and people who hate Muslims.
Wow, this was made in the 90's? Here I was wondering why a modern comic didn't look like diarrhea, wonder I no longer shall.

Doubly so when you consider most of these comics are like, $4 when new. These spergs could've bought a copy of each "MUH REPRESENTASHUN" for about $25 a month, or the price of a cup of coffee a day over a single fucking week.

Not even if it’s played as satire?
2000AD, once again doing years ago what the Americans still can’t today.
This is like the front cover to a MAD mag if it were an action comic instead.
No, fuck that noise. Old Extrano was funny as shit and at least he looked like a wizard. This new Extrano isn't tasteful so much as just sterilized.

Oh yeah let's also point out how much stupider these comics were and how badly they were being sold.
There's around 2,600 comic book stores across the good old US of A.
On average there were 5 copies of these books per comic book store.
During July The Unstoppable Wasp averaged just 2 copies per store.

I bet most of them don’t even pirate the comic, they just occasionally see the comics in social media posts.
They just care they’ve taken the thing away from the chads and empowered the poor minority voices, I mean I can’t see the average SJW going out of their way to read GI Joe even if they add a strong, female, obese latinx lead character.
I guess AD 2000 sometimes does have that look:

I had been meaning to read the Judge Dredd comics for a while, but now I just have to read this because of that picture. What issue number was that from so I can read for context?
Also, I think we might've found another artistic render of Bob Chipman's "Superior Future"...
