Yes but they have a habit of deleting everything when they get caught. That EvS video has most of the information known at this point. He's an older balding white guy named Martin (who has ties to the Bleeding Cool staff?) who went turbo-SJW and has a wife who's worried about the path he's going down. Things got even weirder when they started posting images of dead bodies to people like D&C and EvS.

This is crying out for a thread to be made. Consult some mods if you don't feel certain.

Maybe someone else can do it if they feel like it's worth it. I'm too lazy to keep track of someone who'd remake their accounts every 3 days or so. Most people involved just want the guy to see a doctor or something cause they're up for 19 hours a day going on about how the alt-right must never touch a comic.

Edit: New video on them

Dan Slott's run ending is definitely a positive. Despite being Marvel's flagship title, it lagged behind DC's flagship, Batman, which is the only title to regularly ship 100K units per issue. ASM should have been shipping that many units as well. The million dollar question is: who will replace Slott? I heard Nick Spencer's name getting bandied about. Not that he'd be an improvement over Slott. Secret Empire is pure shit.
 
Whoever ends up getting Spider-Man is going to have to walk a fine line with the character. He's supposed to be an everyman character (something Slott forgot somewhere along the way), and while it's cool when he gets involved in big adventures he should still be grounded in NYC. I liked when Slott had Peter get hired by a tech company to do science shit, but turning him into the poor man's Tony Stark is probably one of the dumbest things Marvel has done in recent memory.
 
Well, here's some bullshit. Marvel Comics (specifically Brevoort) has been treating Jim Starlin so badly that he's decided to leave.

Writing on Facebook, Jim Starlin — whose upcoming graphic novel, Thanos: The Infinity Siblings, remains set for a February 2018 release and was intended to launch a trilogy for Marvel — said, “What I objected to and what will be keep me from doing any further work for Marvel Editorial was [executive editor] Tom Brevoort approving a plot for the current on-going [Thanos] series, which was pretty much the same as the Thanos story arc in the graphic novel trilogy Alan Davis and I have been working on for Tom for close to the past year. He had 200 pages of script and 100 pages of pencils on this project when he gave the green light to a strikingly similar plot. The on-going will be in print before the graphic novel trilogy. To avoid spoiling anyone's enjoyment of these two stories I will not be summarizing the striking similarities.”

He went on, “At first Tom denied giving his approval to the plot. When that turned out to be false, he switched to claiming there was nothing similar about the two plots. When that didn’t fly he changed his story to it was all an accident. These changes of excuse and other bits of procrastination ate up a month, by which time the current Thanos on-going art team was too far along for anything to be done about the situation. Too bad for me. So I am moving on.”

According to Starlin, he had “lobbied heavily” to write the monthly Thanos comic book, but Marvel’s comic book division “just made it clear they weren’t interested in using me on any of the tie-in series to the movies or regular series.” By contrast, he said, the movie division “has treated me very well and generously. Them I like.”

America, Iceman and a bunch of others have been cancelled as well.

Iceman and America are going to be gone? Yay! The problem is the SJWs aren't going to like this. Though even the commentors on The Mary Sue couldn't really defend how bad the comic was.

I'm glad both books are getting canned. As a (minor powerleveling here) gay Hispanic, I was excited for America - until I read the comic and saw what a horrible character she is. they basically wrote her to spout about how gay and Hispanic she is all the time, and how much white straight men suck.

As for Iceman, the dude's been in several serious relationships with women FOR DECADES, and now all of a sudden he's "OMG I'M LIKE SOOOOO GAY! I WANT DICK DICK DICK DICK!". Bobby went from a fun loving, well rounded character into a complete gay stereotype that spent half the issue moping about coming out, and the other half bragging about how much dick he's craving.

Both comics make me fucking embarrassed to read them, and even more embarrassed to be a gay comic book fan. At least DC knows who to make good gay characters, like The Ray, Apollo and Midnighter, and Extrano (who got a much needed update in the A&M mini series).
 
Have you noticed these days when superhero comics make a black female character (especially if she's a replacement), she's gotta have noticably poofy hair: Moon Girl, Power Girl (when Tanya took over), Rir Williams, MCU Domino, there's a black girl who is playing Batgirl, etc. There's nothing wrong with poofy hair, but I'm starting to feel like, "Black girls can have other hairdos. Why not braid it, put it in dreads, cut it short or make her bald if you don't want to straighten it?"
 
So lemme just state an unpopular opinion, I don't like comic books that look overly realistic. Wah t I mean is, that samey realistic look a lot of comic books at dc and marvel so alot these days. God forbid you try to be more stylized and take influenced from eastern art.

God I hate these sorts of people.

There's a reason I like joe mad and todd nauack more than I do jim lee, they look more distinctive and unique.
 
I bought a TPB of Walt Simonson's first 13 issues of his Thor run, and I'm loving it so far. It details the origin story of Beta Ray Bill and him and Thor's first encounter, and is an epic, mythic story that all fantasy fans should read, even if they aren't into comics. Some Shakespearean-level trash-talking occurs when the two characters are locked in a fight to the death to determine who is worthy to wield Mjolnir (for context Beta Ray Bill was able to get a hold on the hammer when it was separated from Thor for over a minute, turning him back into his alter ego, Donald Blake and morphing into his walking stick).

Yeah, Walt's 80s run on Thor was legendary, and produced a lot of stuff that became a major part of Thor's canon, like Beta Ray Bill, Frog Thor, Kurse, the Dark Elves, the Odinson being bound to a human, and Jormungandr, the World Serpent.

Beta Ray Bill is already one of my favorite comic book characters now. He's someone who has experienced a ton of tragedy but manages to remain very humble and honorable.

He recently appeared in the Unworthy Thor miniseries, where he tracks down Thor after learning that he was unworthy to find out if it's true. When he sees how bad Thor's gotten since he became unworthy (losing the arm, becoming a depressed alcoholic), Bill doesn't even hesitate to offer his own hammer to him if it'll help him recover. This is one of the things that causes Thor to get his shit together and become sober.
