Summarizing Negative Fan Reaction To Shatterstar

IN THE PAST: “We hate Marvel Comics because they never listen to the fans or what fans want.”

NOW: “Peter David listened to fan suggestions about Rictor and Shatterstar? What a complete lack of imagination! What an idiot!”

Y’know, when I first started this job…I had hair.

    This is the first I heard about any of this. I had to read through a lot of these comments before I was even clear what the issue was.
    I don’t have any objections to characters being gay or anything like that. The only thing I don’t understand here is why would anybody care what happens with Shatterstar? Or Rictor?
    Has either character ever been interesting in any way?

    By the way, why are we always required to give a name and e-mail address in order to comment here? How am I supposed to make any cool death threats?

    With the few gay characters in comics, I’m really glad you’re doing this.

    I drop every book with “gay” characters.
    Rob said he wasn’t “gay” and you did it any way.

    Shatterstar is now a Skrull until Liefeld or someone with a functional brain kills the Shatterstar Skrull and we get the real not “gay” Shatterstar back.

    Are you just phoning in your scripts now?
    No more “gay” characters.
    Keep them in MAX and Vertigo titles.
    I don’t buy those either.
