Nilbop posted:dropped out of Rat Queens a long, long time ago. What exactly went down with Weibe? Roc Upchurch drew the first eight issues of Rat Queens. That eighth issue came out in October 2014. The next month Upchurch got arrested, and shortly thereafter Wiebe announced that Upchurch would no longer be drawing Rat Queens. There was a one-shot drawn by Tess Fowler to fill in the gap while Stjepan Šejić became the new penciller starting with issue 9, and ultimately ending with issue 10 when Šejić left for health reasons, and Fowler took over as the new ongoing penciler. The team of Wiebe and Fowler put out six issues between September 2015 and May 2016, at which point there were a whole lot of conflicting accounts as to what happened but the short version is that Tess Fowler left the book. A new #1 (with a new artist) came out last month.

Yeah Marvel totally would be down with a biblical citation being snuck into a comic to say that non-Christian religions should get lost, because at least it's AMERICAN, damnit.

Nevvy Z posted:Yeah gently caress that idiot for thinking he could put Muslim numbers in an American book. Those "Muslim numbers" are in reference to a verse that Muslims should not befriend or tolerate non-muslims, there's anti-Semitic imagery, and a reference to an Indonesian protest promoting the prosecution of a Christian Governor for "blasphemy" against Islam. That is totally unacceptable and Marvel did the right thing terminating him. But of course you knew all that and decided to troll anyway. Don't be such a dumbass in the future.

I'm saying the gross misuse of the passage as a cherry pick (and yes I know cherry picking texts is par for the course for extremists of all stripes) is part of why this situation stinks so bad. I don't give a gently caress about what Syaf believes it means.

I do think it's fair to say that, for example, a writer who made horrific comments about Roma people and yelled at fans who disagreed with him would not be blacklisted the way this artist was which is a bit odd.

Unfortunately, being a veteran for as long as Peter David has makes you immune to that kind of thing it feels like. At the very least, I do recall Peter David gave one of the only good apologies I've ever seen from somebody who did that.

It's not a rant, it's a reference to a local political issue that 99.% of readers were completely unaware of. But since it's about religion...
