So that guy (TheRealComicBookGamer) who got kicked out of his local comics shop did release the name of the store - but not publicly himself. An article on Dangerous name dropped them - Magic Mirror Comics. TRCBG mentioned this in a livestream he did today. I haven't been able to watch the whole thing myself so I have no idea if there's any other info in there.

So the Variant Comics incident is entirely unrelated and now I question whether it happened at all.

I question most of these "Incidents". Yeah this dude probably got kicked out. But do you blame them? Dude radiates a really creepy stalker serial killer vibe. Enough of a vibe to standout from the background vibe of most city comic stores these days

No, Waid is absolutely and thoroughly fucked. He is basically dead in this industry. There's nothing that can save him. What he did basically was take the 'Ethics and Practices' clause of basically any company on Earth and wipe his ass with it. What he did was not only unethical, it skirted the bounds of the law. Not to mention, as others have said, Waid isn't exactly liked at all by many people in the industry and now they've got a legitimate way to permanently remove him from it.

you may be underestimating how many organizations out there are willing to forgive such behaviour if it's in the service of being on the right side of history
 
This can't possibly fail, right?

In the world of comics, no one is ever truly dead. Our favorite heroes have overcome death, insanity, the loss of their powers, and even the biggest threat of all: series cancellation. Marvel has announced that it’s bringing back several canceled faves in the new series West Coast Avengers, written by Kelly Thompson (Hawkeye, Jem and the Holograms) with art from Stefano Caselli (Avengers: The Initiative, Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways).

The new series features Clint Barton/Hawkeye relocating to Los Angeles, where he mentors a young group of heroes that includes America Chavez/Miss America, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, Kate’s non-powered boyfriend Johnny, Quentin Quire/Kid Omega, and Gwen Poole/Gwenpool. Instead of crashing at a swanky tower or ivy-covered boarding school, the new team will find financial support in the most LA of ways: by starring in a reality TV show.

Thompson said of the team, “They all need and want something from being on that team together. Kate needs to help save LA, and she needs help to do that because villains have taken notice that there are no Super Heroes out there. I think there’s part of her that misses [being on a team] too. She’s been doing her own thing, on her own, and that’s cool. But she was the one, who, with no powers, was like ‘I’m leading the Young Avengers, I’m the boss.’”

This new team-up brings back the beloved characters from canceled series Gwenpool, America, Hawkeye, and Generation X. Though these series were lauded for their POC and queer representation, Marvel ended up canceling them at the end of 2017. In a bitterly ironic turn, all three Marvel series nominated for GLAAD Media Awards this year were canceled, including America, Iceman, and the winner Black Panther: World of Wakanda.

West Coast Avengers hits stores on August 22.

But why ruin Hawkeye with it... ?

I have a few issues of the Hawkeye run with Kate Bishop and it wasn't that bad. I kinda dropped it out of not buying many comics in general.

That one was OK. But this new West Coast Avengers apparently has them in a "Reality Show" of some kind and just ugh...

If they were faves, why were they cancelled? :thinking:

Not for long. I seriously doubt this hairball will make it to Issue # 7. As much as Cebulski is still letting the inmates run the asylum, he's also at least tangentially interested in making shekels. And when this one sinks to 3,000 orders/month -- as I expect it to -- the plug will get pulled.

Maybe in a stunning plot twist the host of that reality show gets elected President.
 
an enterprising SJW night take a page from our boy Zack’s book and e-beg for funds to buy lots of copies of this and other dangerhair comics to show support for stunning brave yadda yadda

yes I realize “enterprising SJW” is an oxymoron

SJW consumers are selfish lazy poorfags who wouldn't put their money where their ideology is even if they had any, while SJW producers are selfish lazy scammers who invariably get the fuck out of Dodge after ripping off the few people who do support their "work".

It kind of beggars belief that major corporations and political parties seem to be unable to recognise this as a pattern.

To a politician/corporation, 'noise' like that is just an irresistible aphrodisiac. They just can't help the warm tingles it gives them when praise comes in, or their name is bandied about. They are more addicted to it than opiates in a trailer park, it reassures them they're great and hip and wonderful, forget what the bottom line on the ledger says, we're IN GREAT SHAPE, just got to wait for this all to "trickle up" to us!

It's the same hole the right fell into for 30 years, unable to get rid of the moralists and bible thumpers, because even as they lost election after election after election, they couldn't put down the crack pipe that was Pat Buchanan standing on a pulpit and declaring YOU the absolute TRUE AND HONEST champion of American morals! Sure, the Dems are kicking our ass right now, but just you wait! This moral majority of God-fearin' Murricans will eventually turn the tide for us! Gotta keep at it!

That's why it happens, it's, writ-large, how you get strung along by a cheating hot girlfriend who tells you she loves you juuuuust enough to keep you committed even when all those around you are yelling that she's using you and seeing like 3 other guys.... Nah she'll come round and realize I'm the one, just you wait!

It's just that, disastrously, social media these days allow for people to give them that kind of praise in a manner that gets through to the target without costing the sender any money or giving the recipient any tangible income. So the effects are magnified.

Back in The Day (tm), sycophants had to at least buy one of your products to "prove" their loyalty. Or at least purchase postage to send you your asspats. These days, they just say how brave you are on Twitter and then go off to face the rest of their day having already filled their "woke" quota. So their "volume" in public is artificially inflated, while they don't even have to give you one, lousy, cent.

Leading to a paradox of ever increasing egos, drunk on hollow praise and ever decreasing fortunes, as the real-world products lose their actual paying audience. This continence goes on and on until you reach current day of broke Marvel employees possibly breaking Federal Trade Law to get a few more Facebook "likes" and not seeing the problem......

Let's hope this goes the same way as the last super team with a reality show

The weirdest thing about "lol they got a reality show" is it sounds like a concept 20 years out of date. Of course this is the same company that made an Occupy comic half a decade late and currently has Antifa in Captain America which IMO is like 2 years past relevance.

Reminds me of what was said in one of the videos posted here about comic creators being notoriously behind the times.
