Christos Gage responds to a readers letter reacting to Avengers Academy '23

Over at Bleeding Cool they've published a scanned letter column from the most recent Avengers Academy, reacting to #23.

Warning for homophobic content.



Issue 23 being where Striker came out of the closet

Mods, I THINK a scanned lettercolumn will count as a legality scan, but just in case I'll scrounge up a cover shortly.



It is indeed nice to see a polite letter from someone outlining their objections, and even nicer to see them being put, just as politely, in their place.

#23's " American religious nuts " were kind of interesting, actually; you had everyone doing the " come on, you're really going to kill a kid cause he's a mutant " but in the typical snappy rebuttal way, and you had them going " No, seriously, this kid is an abomination " like they were trying to appeal to reason.

And then the kid turned out to be Hybrid, so they were kind of right after all (at the least, it's finally one in the justifiable column for the Purifiers).

I think you can put that down to balance of probabilities rather than an actual good move on their part. You kill enough people at random, sooner or later you're going to kill someone who IS guilty of something.
