    I just tried to read the marvel wiki page about the Mandrill to see if he was as awful as I vaguely remembered and good god, I couldn't get through two sentences before doing exactly what you described.

    I never heard of the Mandrill so I tried to read the Wikipedia page too. Now I'm doing the exact same thing. It's contagious

    Steve Gerber dialogued his first appearance and wrote several subsequent appearances, but denied having a hand in the character's creation, saying he was all Seuling's.

    C.B. Cebulski skirted around some rules to write while as an editor (I think) by creating a Japanese alternative identity named Akita Yoshida.

    If cant say I’m remembering this right, but I thought he was also cited as an example of diversity within the Marvel writing staff.

    Or was that a bit somewhere I can’t remember

    Maybe a bit late to the conversation but Shattered Grid had some real nice moments such as the special Megazord combination in Go Go Power Rangers' side of the story (which besides being more focused on the Power Rangers as people is set in the first few months or so of the team's existence and thus before the Green Ranger's intro).
    LnLnTlH.jpg

    See, Older Kim had been brainwashed and was given the Gravezord, a Megazord pieced together from the remains of the Thunderzords to fight the past Rangers. Once she snapped out of it, she and the team were able to bring them together.

    Oh, and if you want to know what the Power Rangers lineup will be post Shattered Grid, here's a cover featuring the lineup.

    It's amazing by the way how much effort they put into hyping up this crossover. I mean, they actually made a live-action trailer for it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT94jm8fXZA

    And at the latest Power Rangers convention, they got a selection of actors from the previous series to do a live-reading of one of the issues including a dude with a very familiar voice.

    Remember that the Thunderzords are the altered future versions of the original Zords so basically the Megazord's combining with it's future self.

    It straight up baffles me that some dude could receive the company, break their corporate policy, cause a legitimate racism scandal, and then be made CEO.

    Like, goddamn, white dudes just fail upwards so hard, huh?

    It is less talks and more that Cebulski straight up said that bringing Byrne back is a dream of his

    Also, to just put a cherry on the sundae, Ike Perlmutter donated 500,000 to the GOP Florida Governor's race candidate that said his black opponent would "monkey things up"

    Fuckin outstanding

    In brighter (although still fucked up that it is necessary) news, Charles Soule, who was on that panel but did not say anything shitty, is offering free consultation and legal advice to any non-US comics creators who are going/planning to travel to the US for conventions or meetings, as he was an Immigration lawyer for a long time before becoming a writer

    I dont remember everything but the big one that David Brothers brought up recently, which is apparently documented, is he drew racist caricatures of Christopher Priest after he left Marvel

    John Byrne has his own web forum that he's apparently fairly active on, where is he is terrible on a constant basis

  • never dienever die Registered User regular
    Goddamn John Byrne, you're fucking gross. Have people only started talking about this recently? I had heard of the Lobdell stuff when I started reading about his era on Uncanny X-Men, but had somehow missed John Byrne's shit.

    the man compared the use of anti-black racial slurs to calling a thought balloon in comics a thought bubble instead

    Okay I know that this isn't the point of that Spacetwinks tweet, but 1) what and 2) Doesn't everyone call them thought bubbles?

    I think people mainly don't talk about Byrne because he's not really active in the industry, he's easy-ish to ignore
