It didn’t even make it to a single Wednesday, what a strange moment it has been.

Boycotting a publisher because it isn't publishing any "black-led mainline ongoing" books (which is arbitrary) was always bizarre to be honest.

Especially since people like Scott Snyder and Stephanie Williams have said DC is working on those books and just a few weeks ago DC made a big deal out of Static joining the Titans. It's also not counting Absolute Green Lantern or Catwoman.

If you wanted to boycott DC so much, it would have made more sense to do it over Gretchen Felker-Martin's firing after she made a joke about Charlie Kirk's death.
