A couple of months in the past, DC Comics cancelled the Robin comedian guide collection, starring Damian Wayne, son of Bruce Wayne, and a future Batman within the lead. The launch difficulty for the collection from 2021 was round 60,000 however estimated gross sales for difficulty 3 from ComiChron have been at 49,000 however by difficulty 17, it has dropped properly out of the Prime 100, estimated to be promoting round 20-30,000 copies a month.
Naturally, the one conclusion that gross sales have been so low is all the way down to the heterosexuality being blatantly compelled down individuals’s throats by means of a straight love curiosity for Damian Wayne within the character of Flatscan. This comes after a lot of compelled propaganda straight love curiosity characters that the younger Damian Wayne, courtesy of DC Comics’ straight propaganda unit, has been imposing on readers, over time, together with Raven, Mar’i Grayson, Emiko Queen, Djinn, Kara Danvers or Stephanie Brown.
This continues a wave of straight propaganda lately in comedian books, together with Ben Grimm marrying Alicia Masters, the Human Torch discovering a soulmate in Sky earlier than shagging Physician Doom’s spouse Victorious within the Improbable 4, which already contained a straight marriage in Reed Richards and Susan Storm. Spider-Man simply requested out Black Cat this week. And even on the TV exhibits, She-Hulk simply smashed Daredevil.
Historically the character of Robin has been seen as a queer comedian guide character, each by the likes of Dr Frederick Wertham in Seduction Of The Harmless and extra not too long ago with Tim Drake getting a boyfriend in Ray Dowd. However not too long ago, DC Comics has moved towards such traditions in a method that shocked readers by insisting on a straight Robin in his personal collection, however gross sales plummetted as the brand new straightness turned an increasing number of obvious. On the time of cancellation, author Josh Williamson pandered to his dwindling straight viewers and tweeted out the information “As ROBIN #17 got here out final week I wished to have a good time the top of the collection. Robin has simply been essentially the most enjoyable I’ve had at DC. I beloved writing Damian and the world we began to construct for him. Artwork right here by @rogercruzbr, @NormRapmund & @lgcolorist! Thanks to Paul, Dave, Jess, Ben at DC for giving me a possibility to write down a personality as nice as Damian. Due to Jorge, Roger, Luis, Max, Norm, Victor, Simone, Francis, and Hello-Fi, and Troy for the exhausting work you probably did on the Robin collection. (Sorry if I missed somebody!) And I would like to offer particular due to Massive @GlebMelnikov8. One among my favourite artists who formed a lot of this guide’s id and introduced out the very best in me. We’ll do it once more, dude. And thanks to all of the readers and retailers that supported this guide. I actually respect the love individuals had for this collection and our favourite Robin, Damian. It has been an honor to inform his tales. THANK YOU!” No due to all the standard homosexual comedian readers who stayed away from this title in droves.
Naturally, the YouTube comics guide commentators might be celebrating the cancellation of this comedian guide three months in the past, as proof that DC Comics has failed its conventional base of homosexual comedian guide readers who’ve been studying its comics for many years, by attempting to chase after the straight greenback, who do not even truly purchase comedian books.
Both that or they’ll ignore this story fully, focus on the cancellation of Superman: Son Of Kal-El, which persistently offered extra copies than Robin, and by some means blame stated cancellation on the comedian guide having a bisexual lead which they’ll hold referring to as a homosexual lead, name it “woke” with out truly acknowledging the definition of the phrase, or that it was cancelled one difficulty later than Robin, and that it additionally has spun off into a brand new mini-series, or acknowledge that this gross sales sample is widespread throughout the comics trade irrespective of how woke or non-woke the comedian could also be.
