Richard C. Meyer(of Diversity & Comics fame)’s successfully crowdfunded throwback to 1990s comics (raising over $200,000) will no longer be published by Antarctic Press. The reasons given are mixed: the company said that various retailers and comic shops were being harassed and bullied by fans for refusing to stock the book out of protest of Meyer’s controversial stance and actions while also being uncomfortable with his stance on certain comic creators, while Mr. Meyer insists that prolific writer Mark Waid bullied the publisher into dropping the title.
What are your thoughts? I’ve never been the biggest fan of his channel (to put things lightly), but I think that’s a shame about the physical release. I hope both he and his audience are happy with the book, at least.
