A strange state of affairs - Chuck Wendig has been posting his views on social media for a long while now, so for Marvel to hire him - and then fire him (for those views - ‘It was too much politics, too much vulgarity, too much negativity on my part.’ - according to Wendig) - doesn’t seem to scan.

The guy had already completed 3 of a 5 part story (and was working on the 4th) he was hired to do - it’d be interesting to find why Marvel at this point apparently decided to dispense with his services. (Wendig’s tweets on Kavanaugh? Something that may have pissed off Trump / Trump’s friend & advisor and Marvel Chairman Isaac Perlmutter? - rumoured to be soon offered a cabinet position?, or maybe nowt to do with them?).

As screams in the void says… it’ll be interesting to read Marvel’s side of events. (and info such as was he given prior warning, or maybe a quiet word to ease off a little on the social media beforehand, etc).

Concerning to read that some of the harassment / abuse was of a personal nature (‘pretty creepy, and very personal’) - so much so that he has had to involve the police.

Though not surprised to see hear of the pile of 1 star reviews moments after the release of Aftermath (speed readers, eh? 😉) - coincidentally containing some LGBT characters within (which a few vocal people out there online had a problem with).
