>Doesn't put blacks in their comics as leads>Outsells everyoneWas it always that easy
>>153930580Imagine is they make blacks the villians of the comics.Punisher killing the people that we see on the police bodycam
Jo is black, and Titans has like 5 blacks in both books.
>1200 Days With No Ongoing DC Universe Black LeadHoly shit, this is their best initiative yet. Way better than Rebirth.
>>153930580Is this a psyop from Marvel?
>>153931151marvel is a psyop
>>153930580I thought they were called #DCSoWhite or #DiscriminationComics?
>"We are calling on fans to cancel their DC Comics that are on their pull lists until DC solicits and makes a black ongoing available for preorder, and in turn put that money saved towards publishers and titles that are deserving of their dollar that value telling everyone's stories. There is amazing work coming from Image, Boom!, Vault, Ignition and others that is worth investing in. We are also asking content creators to cease reviews and promotion of DC titles past and present until DC solicits, and makes, a black ongoing available for preorder. They are showing with their actions that they do not value black stories, so we should not give them free promotion. Supporting the movement on social media by using #DCSoWhite and #DCBlackout. Showing your pull list with no DC books is an amazing way to show your support as well as the petition that will be released as well."Bruh, even the Bleedingcool comment section is clowning at this
Honestly?They should give into their demandsLet Stephanie Williams write Vixen, give Mr. Terrific an ongoing, etcIf it fails to sell, it is and what it is and any proceeded bitching is gonna be met with a recent example If it succeeds?Good for them >>153931151>>153931806Nah, this is the same group that's critical toward Marvel for their representation fumbles.They have overlap with the people who think someone has it out for T'Challa post-Boseman's death
>>153931151Marvel wishes they had black characters as good as cyborg and green lantern.
>>153930828they're using the usual poc playbook of making broad statements and only being specific when someone points out they're wrong. jo doesn't count because absolute isn't mainline, team books don't count because it's not a solo series, minis don't count because they're not ongoings, etc
The fist is white
>Phase #2What's Phase #3 gonna be?https://www.dcblackout.com
>>153931968Didn't some Milestone/New History of the DC Universe book come out recently and it ended up being pirated by the very same people clamoring for a black-lead book?
>>153932299peacefully firebombing dc's offices
>>153932647The guy who wrote the ComicsBeat article celebrated RCO going down for a few days because he thought it was a contributor to those books struggling when in reality a lot of the people who even use the site aren't even Americans to begin with nor have an LCS (not saying all or even majority and anyone who says the industry is alive BECAUSE of sites like RCO are fucking idiots)Apparently Dakota Incident did surprisingly well enough despite a lack of promotion to warrant a second printing Anyways, IIRC he took back what he said but still made it a point that people should put their money with their mouth is
>>153931968I've never seen any of the usuals that post #DCsoWhite be critical of Marvel over the past couple years.
>>153932773By Odin's Fade
>>153932112And I'm guessing someone will push back and claim they don't support Black-led books in response to that.
>>153931968Yeah they should give us that Vixen comic.Stephanie has already been filling the gaps on Tom King’s Wonder Woman run.
The problem isn't what they're criticizing, the problem is what they're demanding>"HOW CAN DC COMICS STOP THE CLOCK?">Announce 1-3 solo ongoing titles starring black characters. These titles should have black creative teams to tell authentic narratives.>Allow these titles to have immunity from cancellation for 2 years to allow them to enter the cultural zeitgeist and have trade paperbacks and collected editions available for fans who purchase in that format.>Update and utilize new forms of promotion, such as social media and influencers, to promote not just their black titles, but their titles across the board to elevate the medium.>Release educational information on how “sales” work so the misleading of fans ends and full transparency begins.>If these series perform well, continue them and greenlight a Power Company book to highlight minor black characters to give them a chance to find new fanbases.Like they're not going to launch series with cancelation protection, launch a new Power Company book, overhaul their advertising on social media and be more transparent, solely because of a subset of fans boycotting
>>153933728>You must to throw a large amount of money in the garbage with no hope of return of investment, or we'll call you bigoted on BlueSky!>PS. We will call you bigoted anywayYeah, good luck with that plan.
>>153932160What that means?
>>153937007It's a reference to the episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion when Shinji cums in his hand.
>>153930580They got GL but I guess it's not enough. Thank god 5G failed and we didn't have to deal with blackman and black gay flash
>>153938257>Thank god 5G failed and we didn't have to deal with blackman and black gay flashIt still amazes me that Didio's hatred of legacy characters is such that even when the entire concept of the initiative - that he invented - is "new generation takes over", he's unwilling to let real legacy characters become main stars and would rather invent some literal who donut steel OCs instead.
>>153931930same jackasses demanding this doesnt buy comics, DC learned that.
>>153938257>black gay flashActually would've been non-binary flash from the genderbent universe.They settled on giving them a mini and having them show up in random anthologies.
>Absolute Green Lanterndoesn't count - not the mainline universe!>Mr Terrific Year One + Static/Batman Beyond - both written by black writersDon't count - minis, not ongoings! >Mr Terrific & Black Lightning on JLU, Cyborg on Titansdoesn't count - team books, not solos!>John and Jo on Green Lantern Corps - which is written by a black womandoesn't count - team book, not solo!>black artist on Nightwingdoesn't count - not a black character!>black guest writer on Wonder Womandoesn't count - not a black writer! It MUST be an ongoing!It MUST be in the mainline continuity!It MUST be a solo book!It MUST be written by a black writer!You CANNOT cancel it!OR ELSE!
>>153940982>It MUST be an ongoing!>It MUST be in the mainline continuity!>It MUST be a solo book!I feel like it would be a little less demanding if they just asked for these.
>>153932299Thugs will rob your penis of its semen
>>153933728>A subset of fans.I don't think these people are fans of any sort. They just want control.
>>153932647It did, but at the same time it did well enough to get a second print
