DC Comics has canceled the just-released “Red Hood” comic book series after author Gretchen Felker-Martin made comments about Charlie Kirk’s 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 Kirk’s death: “Hope the bullet’s OK.”

Felker-Martin, who identifies as transgender, also referred to Kirk as a “Nazi b*tch.”
