Big news in the comic world, if true. No more DC comic books.
You can thank SJW's for their fine contribution to this situation.
I assume that Marvel isn't far behind.
Go Woke, Go Broke!
And you can take that to the bank.
Van Scriver has been spreading rumors for a while now. Not sure any have panned out yet.
EVS has been right about some of this. I suspect DC will exist in some reduced form, but they won't have as many books on the shelves. Actually, this might be an opportunity for a non-woke individual/company to purchase the DC stable so they can start putting out comics without the SJW tripe. They would immediately sprint ahead of Marvel if this happened.
"Comic books themselves have fallen into the hands of extremely irresponsible people in editorial and in publishing who have taken comics and turned them from a good, fun pastime, escapist fantasy into identity, political, evil, poisonous pamphlets that insult their own readers."
That's the money quote right there. Oh, well. I'm sitting on about 2300 DC Silver- and Golden-Age. That might be my retirement now.
I assume that Marvel isn't far behind.
Marvel has enough money to float an entire comic book division just for appearances sake to support the movies.
DC was doomed from the moment it was bought out by Time-Warner 50 years ago. It was just a slow motion doom.
There is obvously not enough depiction of homosexual sex between the superheroes.
They have to publish a nominal output to maintain their rights to the intellectual property. That’s the main reason they’ve continued publishing Wonder Woman for years despite low sales.
If you go back over the history (both Marvel and DC)...they both had ‘peaks’ and ‘valleys’. Someone would walk in with fresh new ideas, and the brand would take off again.

So will Superman be a free agent?
Never understood the mass fascination American adults have with comics heroes. I think i got over Batman when when i was like eight.
What about Archie and Ritchie Rich?
given the bs that’s taken over the comic industry
good
All that commie woke shit must not sell. They made the Flash into a cuck on TV.
Oh no, what should I do with my comic reading time... Oh wait, I haven’t read comics since 1976...
I had a German teacher in high school who credited Comic Books with helping her learn our language. Original comic art was also an inspiration to many.
I don’t know about this one. Comics, even modest comics make revenue and drive a lot of secondary revenues... I don’t know what goes on at thr corporate HQ, but I find this report questionable.
Guess We’ll see...
As a reader of DC for about 30 years I can say they have politicized their storylines way too much... DC focused insanely on “inclusion” and Marvel all about SJW tropes.. but as a whole I’m dubious they are shutting DC down.
Another factor and large problem is that the industry no longer produces inexpensive comics for little kids. Comics all look like graphic novels now, with 4/C art, selling for $2.50 an issue, or more. Add to that the mix of adult and SJW content. It’s not a winning mix.
It’s an absurd tragedy what’s happened to a once fine and friendly art form.
