Does this make sense to anyone else? Comic Shop To Boycott Action Comics

[This is water]

I'm more offended that people are offended than that he's offended, but I shouldn't be offended because everyone is allowed to be offended except the guy in the news story who is offended.

 

It's like a Rubik's cube accept with letters.

[VintageComics]

He's basically right though. Superman is supposed to be the good boy scout. People were outraged when he had a child of out wedlock in the last movie and the same people would be outraged at what he said in this panel.

 

Based on what I know about Supes, it's uncharacteristic of him to speak like that isn't it?

 

Personally, I'm not so offended that he used the term "GD" but I can see why people would be upset.

 

They're stretching the boundaries of what made him Superman for so many decades just to find some new ground to flesh him out in a new light.

GD that guy is a F-Face, not to mention a J-Hole

Its blasphemy?

Oh now I get it! (thumbs u

He's a religious fruit cake!

All hail jeebus!

 

thou shall not use the Lords name in vain...

 

Or something like that.

Hey, fifty years ago, the masses would have been on the comic book store owners side and people would have been looking to the ACLU and other agencies to defend the poor downtrodden writer/artist to defend their rights to free speech.

 

 

Where are the parallels for the owner's free speech rights today, in at least the court of public opinion?

 

 

 

Currently, we suffer from a surfeit of worlds, not the least of which is the comic book continuities.

Not very religious down these neck of the woods!

Stranger things have happened on this forum

I just thought that he would boycott it for the stupid storyline for Superman: "Reinvented as a social crusader, targeting big businesses that exploit their workers" rather than the implied language.

[warlocke]

That's very sad. The guy can sell whatever he wants, though. I'd recommend boycotting his store. I wonder how much business he can afford to lose.

C'mon man, equivocate, equivocate.

[nocutename]

I agree with Roy here. While not offended personally, it is out of character for Supes. Personally, I didn't care for Grant Morrison's new ideas in All Star Superman. I hated what he did with the key.

 

He's basically right though. Superman is supposed to be the good boy scout. People were outraged when he had a child of out wedlock in the last movie and the same people would be outraged at what he said in this panel.

 

Based on what I know about Supes, it's uncharacteristic of him to speak like that isn't it?

 

Personally, I'm not so offended that he used the term "GD" but I can see why people would be upset.

 

They're stretching the boundaries of what made him Superman for so many decades just to find some new ground to flesh him out in a new light.

[Flash105]

Refresh my memory. What did he do with the key?
