Dynamite Entertainment gets heat for Comicsgate affiliation
Written by CBW Staff on July 19, 2020
When Dynamite Entertainment announced that their upcoming comics would feature work from Ethan Van Sciver, a few blogs and YouTube channels noticed but the newsworthiness must not have been there. After all, EVS already worked with the comics publisher last year when he paid them for a “Retailer Exclusive” cover.
The site AIPT (Adventures in Poor Taste) noticed comic book industry folks weighing in much more loudly the past couple days after Mark Russell announced he will no longer with Dynamite Entertainment due to its continued relationship with EVS.
Mark Russell Tweeted yesterday he was wrapping up his Red Sonja #24 script due to contractual obligations, but will no longer be accepting further work from Dynamite Entertainment due to their affiliation with the Comicsgate movement. In the Twitter thread, Russell explained the decision came because, “When a creep walks into a bar, I think they should be the ones to leave” but that “if they won’t leave the bar, then I have to.”
