Just a few months in the past, DC Comics cancelled the Robin comedian e book sequence, starring Damian Wayne, son of Bruce Wayne, and a future Batman within the lead. The launch difficulty for the sequence 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 effectively out of the High 100, estimated to be promoting round 20-30,000 copies a month.
Naturally, the one conclusion that gross sales have been so low is right down to the heterosexuality being blatantly compelled down folks’s throats by the use of a straight love curiosity for Damian Wayne within the character of Flatline. This comes after quite a few 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 in recent times 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 Unbelievable 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 reveals, She-Hulk simply smashed Daredevil.
Historically the character of Robin has been seen as a queer comedian e book character, each by the likes of Dr Frederick Wertham in Seduction Of The Harmless and extra lately with Tim Drake getting a boyfriend in Bernard Dowd. However lately, DC Comics has moved towards such traditions in a manner that shocked readers by insisting on a straight Robin in his personal sequence, however gross sales plummetted as the brand new straightness turned increasingly more 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 needed to rejoice the top of the sequence. Robin has simply been essentially the most enjoyable I’ve had at DC. I cherished 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 put in writing a personality as nice as Damian. Because of Jorge, Roger, Luis, Max, Norm, Victor, Simone, Francis, and Hello-Fi, and Troy for the arduous work you probably did on the Robin sequence. (Sorry if I missed somebody!) And I want to provide particular due to Huge @GlebMelnikov8. One among my favourite artists who formed a lot of this e book’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 e book. I actually respect the love folks had for this sequence 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 e book commentators might be celebrating the cancellation of this comedian e book three months in the past, as proof that DC Comics has failed its conventional base of homosexual comedian e book 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 may ignore this story fully, think about the cancellation of Superman: Son Of Kal-El, which persistently offered extra copies than Robin, and by some means blame mentioned cancellation on the comedian e book having a bisexual lead which they may maintain 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 business regardless of how woke or non-woke the comedian could also be.
