The white male Lord of marvel trying to shut down a woman author with legitimate complaints about comic readership makes him look like a jackass regardless of what he "actually" meant

Just because he's being less delicate than he might be doesn't mean he's trying to shut her down.
Maybe there's a "Ya dumb whiny broad" behind it. It's certainly not safe to assume.

Bendis has since said on Twitter that he wanted to say that it was a nerd culture problem rather than purely a comics problem but because he tweeted at 3am it didn't come across as he wanted.

So literally what I intuited from the original tweet in the first place. Man it feels good being right.

Twitter is a bad place to express a nuanced opinion, more at 11.

He's clarified his original opinion, said he settled the matter with Cain privately, deleted the original tweet (ed: actually he didn't do that, my bad), and admitted culpability while making abundantly clear he wasnt trying to marginalize her opinion. At this point pretending he was trying to silence Cain is arguing in openly bad faith.

No one is actually arguing that, just that it sounded really lovely and a side glance is justified. You're getting way too defensive. Wait, are you Bendis?

The percentage of people who were attacking her that had actually read any comics during the time Mockingbird was published is probably tiny.

As long as Marvel doesn't take them as having legitimate points and allow them any influence, she's hopefully just been able to lock them out of her life and can continue on.

It reads to me as a "No True Scotsman," which, I get why someone might respond that way, but so not appropriate.

But I guess they'll hash it out offline, so that's between them.

The most recent issue of The Ultimates has, and I am not exaggerating here, the worst art I have ever seen in a comic. Ever. Like, as in I seriously think I could do a better job drawing certain pages than the artist. And what's weird is that its so inconsistent, like some pages are great and some are poorly colored blotches that we are supposed to just imagine are humans because they're colored pink or dark brown. It is loving insane. As far as I can tell there weren't any fill in pencils either, it is just that atrocious.

I bought several issues of a comic (ODY-C) that I didn't even like the story of just for Christian Ward's art. I am definitely a fan.

Yeah, and that's what I'm talking about when I say inconsistent. Those are like the first three pages, and they're loving great.

But then you get horseshit like this:



Or this:



Or this:



And it's actually physically repulsive. And I'm not usually a guy who gets all hung up on art - I'm not an artist, so don't feel like I can or should judge, and as long as the images convey the intended meaning I'm more or less fine. Like, I'll recognize really good art for what it is and really amazing art can help create or emphasize mood or whatever, but as long as it does the bare minimum of making the writing function as sequential narrative I'll cut it a lot of slack. I didn't especially love that digital artist guy they got on Invincible Iron Man after the main guy went on to draw CWII, but he worked well enough to make the issues work, so whatever. This just felt like I was reading some barely-sketched in characters colorized terribly to the point that it actively distracted from Ewing's (excellent) writing.
