Comics are awesome. Firestar is awesome. Sorry for your terrible taste if you disagree. Bigots, transphobes, racists, homophobes etc can all f*** off 🥰
As someone who works in a comic shop I’m tired of these bigots and misogynists blaming women and queers and black and brown people and using us as a shield for their bigotry. Shops closing? NOTHING to do with women comic writers and fuck anyone who thinks or says otherwise
Hot Take! This most recent generation of artists is far too hung up on anatomy and sensible proportions. It’s because they don’t want to be criticized. They fear justifying individuality. So happy my peers didn’t have those same reservations. Just have fun!
Disappointed the last couple of days as a few regulars dropped Son of Kal-El at the store, telling on themselves. Today tho 3 NEW ppl added it! This 70 yr old man got tears in his eyes telling me how he hasn’t collected in years & wanted a book like this as a kid❤️
@TomTaylorMade
I’m ALL for individuality in your art. Do your thing. It may not all be good. Whatever. Art is subjective. It is what it is. HOWEVER, when you attack an entire GENERATION of artists because YOU got criticized for your horrific anatomy and proportions… nah. It’s all on the table
Mark Bagley is one of my top 5 artists of all time & my fave Spider-Man artist of all time. Those feet aren’t proper anatomy, but they’re AWESOME because it’s HIS art & he makes it work. It has nothing to do with what you’re saying. Keep your weird insults to yourself Rob
It’s stunning to me that as a 6 year old I was able to get hooked on comics with DECADES of continuity and storylines behind them, and with issues that were 2nd/3rd/4th parts of a single story… and adults today can’t just buy a book and give it a go.
Are… are losers just term searching She-Hulk to find positive things being said just so they can shit on someone else’s joy?
Y’all are some sad pathetic little creatures 🤭
She-Hulk the show, the character, the comics? ALL amazing. Cry about it 😈
.
@mrmarkmillar
says we owe retailers everything. Awesome. You know what the shop I work at needs Mark? For ppl not to amplify the voices of the bigots & racists & misogynists who want to put the companies who keep us in business, out of business.
You did the opposite. Thanks!
This you?
Don’t let these treacherous hypocritical grifting sacks of shit change the narrative that THEY didn’t IMMEDIATELY jump into the fray and frame it as “oh, Piskor is one of YOURS & he’s a pedophile!” They were elated a leftist was exposed. Now? lol, how the story changes
The mask of
@EthanVanSciver
is just completely off y’all. So misogynistic. So “women are better and more successful than me so I must find a way to degrade them and bring them down”. This is completely and utterly unhinged.
Mark Waid: “I’d rather it burn down than work with the alt right”
*alt-right goes into a mental meltdown for the world to see
SJW Cap: “he’s not wrong, if you’re offended by that there’s a reason”
Alt-Right: “FUCK HIM AND FUCK YOU!”
They love telling on themselves 🤭😂
Waid is not wrong.
If you take offense, it’s because you’re an alt-right fuckmook.
BUT…if you’re an alt-right fuckmook who into comics, it’s pretty sure you are already buying overpriced shit from grifters who sell EXCLUSIVELY online only. They don’t help comics or LCS. Ever.
It was the sweetest thing. As we were talking a kid (15ish?) heard and asked if he could get it too to support LGBTQ+ content ❤️❤️ Renewed my faith in comic readers ❤️❤️
Wearing my most queer as fuck shirts the regular days the guys who dropped it come in, just ‘cause 🤷🏼♂️😂
Marvel changed business models to decompression/writing for the trade but refuse to take trade sales into account. The industry is BROKEN. Not for the reasons the “it’s woke” bigots say, but it is. They COULD fix it but CHOOSE not to. They slap on a few extra variant covers lol
Al Ewings been the best superhero comics writer for 7 years, and Marvel can't justify an AVENGERS title he's writing past 5 issues.
It ain't dying, but it's broken.
(From Tom Breevorts newsletter)
“COMIC SHOPS ARE CLOSING BECAUSE WOMEN AND WOKE AND QUEERS!!! YOU’RE DESTROYING THE INDUSTRY! YOU’RE PUTTING PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS!”
Meanwhile in reality…
There’s been so much negativity. Maybe time for some positivity! Time to celebrate the women who have made comics amazing!
Post your favorite women in comics! Maybe use the hashtags

Carmen Carnero is IMO currently the best artist in comics 😍
In case anyone is actually wondering what kind of guy
@mrmarkmillar
actually is… when you try to warn him of the kind of person Ethan Van Sciver is (laughs at ppl with cancer, wishes children to be targeted by pedophiles, wants to murder Chinese ppl) he blocks you. Says it all
Firestar, in her awesome George Perez redesigned costume (that mysteriously disappeared with no explanation lol) with The Avengers. This line up, would, IMO be used to tell some of the best Avengers stories in existence.
@KurtBusiek
& Perez were the PERFECT pairing!
@JoeyMannarinoUS
@Slatzism
A woman growing hair where hair grows? THE HORROR!
Keep it up Joey you brave black woman. You’re literally going to hand it to them on a silver platter as you turn away the women who might’ve voted with you
@GailSimone
Have him and his most ardent defenders blocked and I legitimately get them recommended to me as suggested follows. Not even kidding. And all the suggested tweets are now SOLELY from alt right accounts. Not comics. Not movies. Friggin MAGA accounts. Like… seriously?
Lol… even
@EthanVanSciver
’s once loyal backers are getting sick and tired of waiting for his ever delayed books 🤭 And how does Mr. “comic companies are losing customers because they treat them badly!!!” respond to people who paid his bills? By insulting & ignoring them lol
Geez. It’s almost like notoriously moronic bigot Ethan Van Sciver has a problem with women? Who could’ve ever predicted THAT?
Weird that he’s such a homophobic POS yet wants all “his” spaces to just be sausage fests.
Wonder why 🤔
Right on cue
@EthanVanSciver
continuing his grift, using the suicide of someone to make his hate group look good. Ignore that lil’ Ethy posted to his 60k followers images mocking Piskor, pointed insults & that Piskor was a child groomer. You LED the mob. Pitchfork in hand, bitch
So much good She-Hulk related stuff out today. In FORTY years, She-Hulk has NEVER had an actual annual. This despite six different series. She’s had specials but never an actual annual. Kinda cool she’s actually got one now! And that Dauterman variant 😍😍
I agree
@EthanVanSciver
, never attack family members. They aren’t involved in any of this. ESPECIALLY children. Agreed 100%
Also here’s that time you said you wouldn’t mind if Mark Brooks’ children were targeted by pedophiles
Never go after family I guess doesn’t apply to you?
Ethan seems to be doing his best to scrub this from YT and X and pretend it didn’t happen.
This is disgusting and needs to be known by the greater industry. This is who he is. He’s a vile person. I’d never say this about someone’s underage children.
Shocking that
@EthanVanSciver
, the man who wishes sexual assault and rape on his rival’s children, would want to see a man who lied about the slaughter of 20 six year olds and sent unending hate to their families, reinstated on Twitter. Shocking.
Starting to see a pattern here
@ksorbs
@elonmusk
@SenSanders
I’ll save everyone some trouble. The highlight of your career in the last 20 years is the fact Bernie the Dolphin managed a sequel and the fact that One Nation Under God hasn’t managed to get into the bottom 250 films yet. Xena Lite here actually directing people there 😂
@GailSimone
Always Firestar
And if the last two years since she was voted onto the team have taught me anything it’s that I’m not alone in my love of the character and that even her most ardent detractors can come around to how amazing she is
I’m just gonna say it. The way some of y’all have treated the new writers/editors of the X-Books, just bc they’re the writers/editors following the Krakoan era? You’re not worthy of this hobby. You’re not. I hate what fans of this hobby have become. I’m ashamed to be part of it.
Carol Danvers started out as a sex object in the old Ms Marvel comics from the 70's and remained that way for 40 years. Kelly Sue DeConnik's run changed that completely with Higher, Further, Faster, More. Carol Danvers became a leader and massive powerhouse in Marvel.
@funeralthirst7
It was cute he threw in McFarlane’s Spidey like it helped his argument lol
He just did it bc his ego makes him think he’s on the same level (of talent and importance) as McFarlane
Love the fact that
@EthanVanSciver
(there, I tagged him for all his sycophant followers who cry that he doesn’t get tagged) is such a reviled human being that his misogynistic bullshit has inspired a swell of love for amazing & talented women in the industry! Beautiful to see 🥰
After posting about favorite issues of all time the other day, I realized it’s been… I dunno… YEARS since I read through The New Teen Titans!? So started to re-read last night and y’all, I forgot how this book hit the ground RUNNING! Such a brilliant series 🙌🏼😭
Honestly… FUCK BENDIS
A) lol at She-Hulk being killed by a little missile (tell me you’re a comic book writer who has never researched the characters he’s writing without telling me)
B) She 100000000% would not have taken Carol’s side in Civil War II. In ANY universe.
Someone should tell maggot brained bigoted
@EthanVanSciver
how language works
For example “bullshit” has only existed in its current form since 1910-1915. Like “every word out of EVS’ crusty lips is bullshit”
“Scam”? 1960s. Like, “EVS scams his backers”
Language evolves loser
Firestar Vol. 1 # 1-4 with cover art by ICONS like Arthur Adams, Barry Windsor-Smith and Mary Wilshire 😍 Written by comics legend Tom DeFalco. Stories told in this little 4 issue mini series still reverberate in the Marvel Universe today ❤️🧡💛
The amount of ppl on here being “Tom Taylor needs to get off the internet” can get fucked. Nah for real. Man is getting death threats over comics bc y’all can’t act like humans and your response is to tell HIM how to react?
On my way to a bachelor party for the weekend. Not paying attn to my phone. Check Twitter. Dozens of notifications?! What?
Sees FIRESTAR IS GOING TO BE IN A NEW WEST COAST AVENGERS BOOK!!! OOOMMMGG!
Sees the writer 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
OMG I LOVE THIS COVER!!!
How the **** is The Enchantress not in the MCU? They should bring her in and pit her against She-Hulk. Always thought they’d make cool enemies
Marvel.
It’s okay.
You CAN recast Kang and get rid of this abusive POS.
The character isn’t untouchable and considering a million variants exist pick one and run with it.
Say it with me. You. Can. Recast. Characters.
😜😂
Good lord can you imagine the fucking OUTRAGE if this story played out in comics today? Not from decent people. But from the bigots that don’t read comics and only want to rage about the things that don’t affect them? Whoooo. They’d be dropping like flies 😍😂
@shehuIkupdates
“iT’s ThE wOrSt CgI i’Ve EvEr SeEn!”
Oh sorry. Just trying to get that in before the deluge of usual suspects rush in to whine about nothing for the 8000th time 😉😂
It’s always looked fine with a few rough patches but it’s not like those rough patches were going to ruin it all
I didn’t read this story until literally just a few years ago after hearing about it and knowing the characters for YEARS.
LEGITIMATELY one of the greatest stories ever told in comics.
I love it. Own the floppies and the TPB. Buy it. Read it. Love it. It’s amazing.
1863). Sep1985.
One of the best Marvel series of the decade (and one of my favorite Marvel stories of all time) begins here! Gruenwald’s (and a few artists) masterpiece is a must-read if you haven’t read it. Hall/Rubinstein with the cover
No because it was awesome and probably the best show Marvel did and I seriously side eye anyone who thinks that something so fun and hilarious and SOOOO pulled RIGHT from the spirit of the comics published for the last 30 years was garbage 🤷🏼♂️
Your top 4 NON A-LIST Avengers. No Spider-Man. No Thor. No Captain America. No Iron Man. No Wolverine.
I’ll start
She-Hulk (should’ve led an Avengers team by now)
Firestar
Monica Rambeau
Wasp
Most comic shop owners/workers AND customers aren’t. No one likes a group that uses them as a shield “comic shops are closing!” while actively trying to hurt the companies/writers/artists/creators keeping them open & in business. Bc comicsgate sure ain’t doing anything for us
Y’all. Are we just going to pretend like Trinary doesn’t exist and couldn’t solve, oh, 98% of the X-Men’s current problems? Where has she been since X-Men Red? I heard she was in X-Corp? (Sorry, not reading THAT book 🥴)
Another one bites the dust
*sigh*
The days of character building, world building, giving series room to breathe and grow? Working to get sale and promoting something? Long dead. Who wants to collect something you know will end in a couple months? 😞
@theobtainedmage
Man who has spread more hatred and harassment to more women, queers and people of color than most bigots will in their entire lifetimes pissed someone off enough that they said “fuck it” and released his address?
I don’t buy a lot of Omnibuses due to the price tag, but I’m happy with my tiny collection! Can you tell what I like?😂 Show me your Omnibus collection!

Avengers by Busiek and Perez Volume 2 New Edition!
I had to get the She-Hulk cover bc y’all… THAT lineup? Looord. I’d pay for this line up again!
Firestar DOES APPEAR in approximately like 4-8 issues which is amazing.
I love it 🥰
@RandyS0725
A black man’s natural hair is “black power” and “political” and somehow stops him from being sexy and cool? It’s not just his… hair?
Who is this absolute ignorant moron?
Who are your Top 5 New Warriors? And do you think we’re getting a new series out of the X-Men and Night Thrasher???
1. Firestar
2. Silhouette
3. Nova
4. Turbo
5. Night Thrasher
SHE DID IT Y’ALL! FIRESTAR MAKES IT THROUGH THE HELLFIRE GALA AND WE GET MORE OF OUR GIRL! 🙌🏼😭🙌🏼😭🙌🏼😭🙌🏼 also, a rematch with Juggernaut?! GET IT! This better be the start of Firestar showing what a powerful star she truly is 🔥 ⭐️
#Firestar
#XMen
#Juggernaut
Enough about THAT one. Is THIS the BEST Marvel Event/Crossover that they’ve done in “recent” times? 😍
Honestly Annihilation made me feel like a kid reading comics again. Every page. Every tie-in. Every major turn for every character. It was so expertly crafted ❤️🧡💛
And again… y’all think you’re not the villains. It’s hysterically comical. You send death threats and start groups about finding his address and burn his pics and think you’re the heroes. You’re comicsgate in disguise. And then y’all pop into my mentions defending this shit
Dan Slott spent an entire series getting Jan and Tony together to work as a really good couple, and the first thing a new writer did was break them up in a single panel 🥴 no one cares what came before anymore, they want to tell their own stories, always with a blank slate
@TheGayGL
Yeah. None.
And honestly, about 99.9% of the pro-registration heroes in the actual story wouldn’t have been either but lol at Millar ever writing a character in character and not just shoving them into a story to fit the story
Happy Birthday Firestar! On this date, September 1st, back in 1981, Marvel published Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends # 1 and Firestar officially made her comic book debut! (Outside of Marvel Continuity for the moment). 😍 Happy “43rd”. It’s gonna be a great year!
