All-female Lucasfilm writing staff hired: SJW FAIL.

At least he’s honestly admitting he can’t write about a Great America. He’ll probably give Cap devil horns.

Writes comic books and thinks he’s at the vanguard of an art form.

Comic book stories and drawings can approach art but does he have the track record?

Is he the next Will Eisner, not only in terms of storytelling and inking ability but in management skills putting together a house staff of cartoonists, pioneering comic book supplements in Sunday newspapers and eventually pioneering the “graphic novel”?
