Bitch, please. It's not "alienation" when you're being blacklisted by talentless hacks like yourself. If Marvel gave you a $10,000 bonus to put some effort into your work, maybe you wouldn't draw Squirrel Girl like she has Downs Syndrome.
Even worse is that in her final SG issue, she admitted she was out of it mentally for the past year or so she worked on the comic because her dad passed away plus was in debt and actually sounded grateful for at least having this job for the stability, which even Zack felt some sympathy for her.
 
There's nothing "professional" whatsoever about this pack of screeching lunatics and talentless hacks.
That's because these aren't their professional accounts therefore they can do anything without representing a company. Having "Writer of Troon-Man @MarvelComics" and their names in big print all over the product does not associate them in any way unless they say it's a professional account. Why else would people deal with them if not for their insightful #Woke posts? I love that they believe this is how it works.

That might bring more sympathy if she had not literally backstabbed and stolen the job from another, better, artist through nepotism.

The first art style is so cute. They could have put a little extra pudge on her and it would have worked. Instead, she looks like she's got some sort of mental/physical condition.

Okay, Henderson is an objectively terrible artist, but she did not "steal" the job of Squirrel Girl artist from anyone.

What happened was that the writer Ryan North, being a fart-smelling nepotistic hipster, specifically asked for Henderson from the start and she was the one who made the redesign. Shortly before the first issue was released however, Marvel commissioned a bunch of other artists to make variant covers (presumably to trick people into thinking the interior art would be of that quality and force retailers to buy several more copies than needed) and the Japanese art team Gurihiru happened to be one of them. Squirrel Girl happens to be one of Gurihiru's favorite Marvel characters, so they made a bunch of variations and fan art that they posted online. Since their art style is so cute and lovely their cover and rough drafts went viral, which caught the attention of Marvel, who made the only smart decision in years and offered them a position as an illustrator on a book of their choice. Gurihiru chose Gwenpool which was probably for the best because not only did their art fit the tone of Gwenpool perfectly, but Christopher Hastings is a good writer who made a stupid idea and character actually charming and free of any bullshit that's come to be expected of Marvel, while not even good art would've saved SG's awful self-congratulatory garbage.

If anything Gurihiru dodged a bullet while Henderson is doomed to mediocrity and Z-list characters. Now can we please stop spreading this lie?
 
Except Gwenpool failed too. It had a decent first issue coming out at 100K shipped down to 10K shipped almost immediately.

Losing 90% of your potential audience is not great, Bob.

A shame it was too. Gwenpool seems to have been pretty decent all considered.

I wonder how much of the sales plummeting can be traced to the comic's connection to heather antos and people assuming it would be as crap as the replacement SJW titles it was sort of lumped together with?

Maybe all of it. Or maybe people hate sequels that don't follow the built in ethos or character of its predecessors? (cough The Last Jedi cough)

Why can't these "supremely talented" people create their own original characters and IPs instead of being the lamprey fish of the comics industry?

From what I understand, she drew Squirrel Girl worse on purpose after that.

But seriously Marvel, you're fucking mental for thinking I'd pay three bucks for art like what you used there. I've seen better shit done by teens done for free than this.

>please grow up your parents are ashamed of you
>by the way I hope this guy gets eaten by wolves because I can't handle my emotions

Huh. This just continues to prove CS Lewis' Arrested Development Theory. No wonder comics suck if these guys are so preoccupied with being adults that they fear being called childish, despite them eagerly sharing in their - ironically - capitalistic glee of buying shiny objects and toys... also violent demands. They still want to be adults and have that show in their work that they are adult. That these are serious issues. Only childish people would criticize them and can't understand their maturity.

But what do I know? I'm just a guy with a Dick Tracy avatar. Rattatatatatat.

Meet Nick Ulanowski, he is another of the anti-cg spergs that goes out daily into the # to call it racist and so on. Needless to say barely anyone form the pro-side comments on his tweets because he blocks anyone that dares to breach his bubble. To pro-cg spergs he's known as the living strawman and even though he hates Comicsgate and MoveTheNeedle, he can't stop himself from using the #s.
Notice something?

Noticed how he's always slanted or leaning in the pictures? Do you wonder why? Here's another pic with Timmy:

@emspex and I figured out that Doyle is around 5'6"-5'8", Nick is a confirmed manlet. I believe the reason he's leaning on all these pictures is to hide how short he is:

I decided to post this here instead of a dedicated thread on him because it would be mostly him sperging over CG and CGers (mostly Zack).

Who could have guessed that literally chasing your customers out of a comic book store for no fucking reason at all because they wanted to buy a comic book might not be a great business plan.
