Marvel still employs a most unsuitable and reprehensible writer

Polygon's been gushing over news about where Wolverine's headed with a new miniseries written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by Greg Capullo. But what's even more disturbing and uncomfortable is news about a certain far-left writer who turns out to still be working with Marvel, and is assigned to write a new ongoing series for Logan:
Perhaps he’d even be drawing the Wolverine series of this summer’s relaunch of the X-Men line? The mystery thickened this month when Marvel announced a new Wolverine ongoing from writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Martín Cóccolo — with no Capullo to be seen.
Well this sure isn't going to encourage anybody in the know about Ahmed's anti-Israel rants to resume financing Marvel products, which were already awful enough even before they began hiring him as a writer. Some of the stuff he's said about Israel was so offensive, it's a forgone conclusion he's no fan of Stan Lee, and doesn't deserve writing assignments on creations of Jews any more than C.B. Cebulski does to be EIC. This revelation definitely compounds Cebulski's image as a major failure. Ahmed's also injected antisemitic tropes into Daredevil, and that too symbolizes a fiasco on Cebulski's part. Let's hope those who've bailed out of Marvel will continue to stay away, and those who haven't will part ways with this now corrupted business that's soiling famous creations, many of which were developed by Jews, and Wolverine was created by Len Wein. Do his relatives have any issues with Ahmed writing Wolverine like they did with Roy Thomas receiving co-creator's credit for Logan? If there's no reaction to Ahmed's getting these writing assignments like there was when Thomas was being given share of creation credit, that's not doing any favors for Wein's dignity.

About me

  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
