The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


In an announcement that's not entirely clear about why, Popverse says DC's canceled the Red Hood comic written by the far-left extremist Gretchen Felker-Martin after the transsexual activist author wrote horrific statements about the murdered right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk:
On the same day that the first issue of the mature readers Red Hood series was released in comic book stores, DC Comics has announced that it is cancelling orders for all future issues of the series, and will additionally be offering credit for all orders placed by retailers on the first issue, including any copies that may have already been sold to customers. [...]

The second issue of Red Hood was intended for release October 2, 2025, and the third scheduled for a November 12 release. Both issues were announced with Gretchen Felker-Martin as writer, Jeff Spokes as interior artist, and Taurin Clarke as primary cover artist. Red Hood, intended as DC’s first ongoing series rated for a 17+ audience set inside the regular DC Universe, was announced in July 2025.

When contacted for reasons behind the cancellation, DC Comics provided the following statement: "At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints. Posts or public comments that can be viewed as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct."
There's no clear explanation for why this "dude in a dress" was sacked, perhaps unsurprisingly. But Israel National News has more giving clearer understanding:
In one post, Felker-Martin wrote: “Thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch." In another, she stated: “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Charlie Kirk.”

Shortly after the posts were made, DC announced the cancellation of Red Hood, a Batman-line book starring former Robin Jason Todd. Issue one, which was released yesterday, will be the only issue of the series to come out, and preorders of issues two and three have been cancelled. [...]

Her BlueSky account has also been suspended.

This is not the first time Felker-Martin has celebrated or defended an act of political violence and murder. She also celebrated the October 7 massacre in which 1,200 people, the majority of whom were civilians, were murdered in southern Israel, and about 250 people were taken hostage.

On October 7 itself, as the massacre was ongoing, Felker-Martin retweeted a post claiming: "Gaza has been under a naval blockade & land siege for 17 years & its 2 mil Palestinians subject to 4 large scale offensives. Any shock in response to this multi scalar attack reflects an expectation that those Palestinians die quietly and a complicity in their strangulation."

Felker-Martin herself wrote on the day of the massacre: "You cannot subject human beings to brutal conditions under which no hope for a meaningful future exists and then blame them for violent action taken to correct this state. Free Palestine."

She would go on to make numerous posts defending Hamas's right to use violence and blaming Israel for the entire conflict. She also denied the existence of Israeli civilians, claiming that "settlers are not civilians - they are an occupying force whose daily lives serve to grind out the hope, culture, and memory of those they oppress."

The resurfacing of Felker-Martin's posts defending the genocidal Hamas massacre led to calls for DC to fire her from the StandWithUs organization.
Some examples of his social media posts can also be seen here. Cosmic Book News also notes:
Felker-Martin contributed a short story in Harley Quinn #41, released in June 2024. A year later, in June 2025, DC Comics announced that she would helm a new ongoing Red Hood comic aimed at mature readers.

She is a transgender writer and uses she/her pronouns.
And is apparently a man, so again, why give any satisfaction to his delusionary visions, which are also an example of somebody who despises being born a man? Whether one's born male or female, is that something to be ashamed of?

Anyway, it's fortunate DC was willing to fire him from a writing position, but shameful a company originally founded by Jewish-Americans should have to be soiled as it was in the first place. That they were willing to hire such a creep in the first place is just the latest in a long line of offensive directions they've taken for more than 35 years already, and their artistic quality's been in the gutter since the turn of the century, so why are DC/Marvel even still in business? This latest example of hiring writers without any proper vetting just makes clear one more severe fault they have that won't be mended in a hurry.

Update: in a related subject, the Daily Caller tells how, following the Kirk tragedy, unhinged leftists are being dismissed by their employers for making offensive comments, including a video game producer.
