I didn't realize it was canceled so quickly. Why the gently caress do they accept pitches from newish creators for non traditional stories starring niche characters and then not even wait to see how well the first Trade does before poo poo canning them?

Also this isn't even Marvel's first nonbinary hero! Loki has effectively been a hero for years and has been established as genderfluid for about the same span of time.

Which, I think, Kibblesmith did a decent job with, even if it was ancillary to the story he was tell. Doesn't excuse this, but I toned down my initial kneejerk hostility when I found out the writer and then saw Vulpes vouch for them.

Still a bad loving idea, though.

I can sort of buy Pete being on the government's side in Ghost Spider, because he was a teen hero and he knows the toll it took on him. We'll just ignore how he gave Miles his blessing.

Extrano from Englehart's New Guardians was an important landmark as an early gay character in Big Two cape comics, but nobody celebrates him because he was a poorly written cartoonish stereotype who got HIV from an HIVampire.
It was THE HEMOGOBLIN, a lab-created AIDS vampire made by a white supremacist conspiracy to target LGBTQ people and Africans.

I want to believe it was well-intentioned but incredibly, incredibly, incredibly, incredibly, tone-deaf in concept and execution. Which may draw some parallels between the New Guardians and New Warriors.

On that topic, this is as good a place as any to vent my spleen that another New Guardian alumn (SNOWFLAME, COCAINE GIVES HIM SUPERPOWERS) is coming back this summer, and it is unfortunately in a comic by Sean Murphy and his even-more-CG-cozying co-writer.

This isn't quite as bad as Donny Cates or Dan Slott reviving Turner D. Century for me, but it's close.

I haven't read it, so I can't comment directly, but aside from Miles he's mentored a bunch of teen heroes over the years, plus he should know better than anyone that telling a teenage superhero not to risk their lives trying to save people just flat out doesn't work.

There's not going to be an X-Men crossover is there?

^-- edit: At first I assumed they were both non-binary lovers, which is one thing. The fact that they're twins somehow makes it even worse?


I think this is the worst creative decision I have ever seen a comic book publisher make since I became a comic book fan 16 years ago. I say this as someone who is quite socially liberal. This is just so insultingly bad.

I would've said that I'd expect DC to do something this stupid, but it's been Marvel who's been trying to cash in more on this sort of thing.

The Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch poo poo was just from the Ultimate comics, only comes up in like maybe 4 actual issues of comics and even then only happened because Mark Millar thought it would be funny to hint at and then Jeph Loeb went loving insane.

Seriously, what the gently caress happened to Jeph Loeb (I know what happened to Jeph Loeb, but I still don't think that fully explains it)?

The X-Cellent seems like a series that can get dropped in whenever the creative team is available. Probably after X of Swords.
