We talk a lot about how woke Disney-owned Marvel is, but it's biggest competitor DC isn't learning any lessons Marvel's failures. In fact, they seem to be going all out to go out of business first.
The bi-sexual Superman comic they launched lasted all of one year.
Then there were the shameless diversity covers that essentially equated Hispanic people with food.
Remarkably, Dr. Jill Biden's breakfast tacos didn't make the cut. Sorry, San Antonio!
And now, DC is trying again by introducing a new gay-Green Lantern title called Green Lantern: Alan Scott.
And if turning another superhero into a flaming homosexual isn't enough, they're trying another tactic and adding "God-endorsed" sodomy to the plotline.
(I blurred the near-nudity here)
"Hey — if God himself didn't want me to love you then how could I?"
You might be surprised to learn that sales of the new book were abysmal. The writer, Tim Sheridan, took to social media to call all the fans that refused to buy his soft-core gay fantasy books "haters" and "queerphobes" and begged people to buy them.
"The only way we can shut these people down is to make this book an undeniable success," he continued. "The only way to prove to the big publishers that there's a huge market for authentic stories about LGBTQIA+ characters and these stories are for everyone is to buy the heck out of books like this."
Yeah, no one showed up. Much like the other panderverse DC storylines, the title is tanking.
The Comicbook Hub system that tracks sales across random stores did not register the book on its charts … at all.
Sales were all but non-existent.
But DC isn't ready to throw in the towel and just give up because of the failure of one diversity book … or even several diversity books (and television shows ... and movies).
They also have a several-million dollar streaming series staring the gay Green Lantern in production!
No one is ever going to be okay with you gaying up comic books.
Just stay down, DC.
gay subculture or any other ‘subculture’ is just that, a subculture THAT NO ONE OUTSIDE OF THAT subculture is interested in.
Not a good business plan catering to a group that’s so small they can’t keep you in business....................
blue body tights and gold boots and red cape, Bi? Really, are you sure?
Do not worry.
It’s ALL in the Bible...............
I was way ahead of this issue. 1968 Mt Sac college got an A in my paper “Should you Allow Your Kids To Read Comic Books.
Wokey, Brokey.
I thought they made him gay years ago. Is he just now getting his own title (not counting the Golden Age Green Lantern issues)?
When you give way on one point, you will give ways on other points.

🤦♂️🤣😂🤣😂👍.......................
It’s called a ‘Re-boot’, starting over with a new beginning.
There can be multiple ‘Green lanterns’ from different times................
DC Changes Superman’s Motto: No Longer Fights for “The American Way”
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/superman-american-way-dc-comics-1235032125/#!
“DC Comics is changing what Superman stands for.
The company released a new mission statement for the 83-year-old icon who famously fought for “Truth, Justice and the American Way.”
Now Clark Kent’s Man of Steel is about “Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow.””
DC was bought by Warner Communications 50 years ago. Warner has no respect for the comic book history. Warner ruined DC.
The left would still be O for 3 in that case. No surprise about scrubbing the American Way though.
More like AC/DC comics.
Nothing should be in a story that does not support the plot or characterization, which serves to support or help the plot. Anything else is superfluous and risks distracting the reader or, worse, losing his interest.
In this area, “Green Lantern” pizza is among the best. If the Green Lantern is supposed to be gay, some people will suddenly avoid the pizza because of their irrational homophobia. Come on, man!
Just explain to them that there are more than one ‘Green Lanterns’, whomever the Elders wish to give a ring to. Some aren’t even human........................
You just don't.
Zaslav has to start chopping heads at DC. It is long overdue.
