Poor Sales Force Marvel to Dump Black Lives Matter Comic

One reason moonbats hate capitalism so vociferously is that there is no escape from merciless market forces, no matter how deeply progressives bury themselves in their unreal realm of leftist idiocy. For example, Marvel Comics has been forced to dump its new Black Lives Matter comic:

[L]iberal darling Ta-Nehisi Coates and Yona Harvey’s Black Panther & The Crew is getting the axe after poor sales, just two issues after its launch. Its cancellation comes just weeks after a Marvel VP revealed that comics with forced messages of “diversity” were responsible for the publisher’s sales slump.

Joined by Luke Cage, Manifold, Misty Knight, and Storm, the titular superhero who entered the limelight with Captain America: Civil War gathers his all-black crew of superheroes to investigate the death of a civil rights activist who died in police custody. It has echoes of Sandra Bland’s death.

Set in a near-future Harlem-turned-police state patrolled by robotic police officers controlled by a private security contractor, the comic has every element you’d expect from a comic attempting to tell a story inspired by Black Lives Matter. The cops beat people up for no reason, too. …

Coates explained to The Verge that Marvel decided to kill the publication due to poor sales, and that there wouldn’t be any continuation after the current story arc ends in its sixth and final issue. The market spoke, and Marvel listened.

Gizmodo predictably barks in outrage over the series being canceled just because no one wants to read it, when the important thing is that all the characters are black.

No worries for Ta-Nehisi Coates. Even if comic book readers are too sophisticated to swallow his B.S., he can still keep shoveling it profitably for the Atlantic.
