I was going to comment on the “paired” comments also. Rather comical that someone writing about publishing doesn’t have any vocabulary skills.

As I’ve posted before: CNN is a dead albatross hanging around the neck of AT&T. I hope it hangs around their necks rotting away so bad that they literally gag on it...especially financially speaking.

Another victim of the Left’s poison touch.

People abandon popular culture because of its incessant faggotry.

“Paired” down?

Maybe DC comics is closing because no one can write worth a damn any more.

I think they should pair off, and buy pears, and pare down the pears. But that is comparing pears with oranges. Apparently.

This is not a surprise if you’ve been keeping track of At&T’s activities since they bought Time Warner.

They ended the distribution relationship between Diamond and DC around the time of the Wu-Flu shutdown. Then they announced that three regular comic stores were going to distribute their books worldwide.

This effectively said “DC is going out of the comic book business” several months ago.

That was the situation in the early years of the Republic. Newspapers were rabidly Federalist or equally rabid (Democratic-) Republican. No reader had any doubt where the newspaper stood politically and no one expected objective reporting on topics other than the weather.

But at least there were rival papers and the public were free to choose. Today, one has to search to find the conservative viewpoint.

Yep. The left ruins everything it touches. Turning comic books into a platform for virtue signaling and promoting miscegenation and every variety of sexual perversion was the kiss of death.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Trump bought CNN?

The board of AT&T are total leftists. They would NEVER sell to Trump!

If they were smart, they would let it leak they are shopping CNN to Trump. They would then be able to name their own price in a sale to some billionaire leftist desperate to prevent a sale to Trump.

But they are not smart...

DC and Marvel, with few exceptions; have been pretty much unreadable for the last 20 or so years. I stopped hoping for an editorial shift to fix their problems and have begun eagerly anticipating their shuttering and the licensing out of the characters to publishers who are eager to tell interesting stories again.

P.S. Keep the pre-2000’s reprints coming. I sold all my long boxes when I moved last year and plan to replace them with hardbacks.

Archie Comics introduced gay characters in 2010, Harvey Comics (Richie Rich) ceased publication in 1994.
