ComicsGate in Pictures

Chris Braly of Bleeding Fool provides proof of the SJW convergence at Marvel and DC that led to #ComicsGate, complete with visual aids. The following tweets were all posted by former and current creators with Marvel and DC Comics. It is utterly baffling to me how some normal people can…

Comics Need Professionalism

Comics Need Professionalism
