DC Comics has canceled the just-released Red Hood comic book series after author Gretchen Felker-Martin made comments about Charlie Kirks death on social media.
Kirk, a conservative activist and campaigner for President Donald Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday at a speaking event at a university in Utah.
In since-deleted posts captured in screengrabs shared by other social media users, Felker-Martin allegedly wrote on social media after news of Kirks death: Hope the bullets OK.
Felker-Martin, who identifies as transgender, also referred to Kirk as a Nazi b*tch.
"Red Hood" by writer Gretchen Felker-Martin and artist Jeff Spokes.

You were out of a job, blacklisted, shunned by friends and family.

(3,209 posts)There was nothing good or decent about Charlie Kirk. He said himself that in the fight to protect gun rights, some deaths are acceptable.

Everyone seems allergic to the word, but Charlie Kirk was not an activist, he was a propagandist. Turning Point was a meme factory backed by a billionaire designed to steer kids towards Christian Nationalism. He didnât advocate for policy; he spun narratives to change beliefs. Propaganda.
