One of the X-men books had a gay marriage on the cover recently. I wonder what my mother would of said if I got one those in the mail during the 90's. Both companies are just whoring themselves out for any bit of attention they can get. This was one of the reasons I stopped subscribing /collecting back in the early 00's.

difference being it was a marriage between characters that had been established as gay for years. sure it was an attention grab. but it was done within context. dc just decided to out a nikka randomly, with little consideration for previous history.

I understand that, but how many marriages make it on a comic cover? I stopped reading about 10 years ago and the only one I can remember was Scott and Jean. And when did Northstar from Alpha flight ever become big enough to garner so much attention? For years he was just secondary character. It just comes across as a tactic to cash in on a hot button topic and generate some media buzz, which imo cheapens the state of comics. Generate buzz with great story lines not this stuff. No one collects or subscribes to see hot button political issues addressed in comics.

No big deal but what's the point, totally unnecessary IMO, seems like they're just attention whoring.

When Luke Cage married Jessica Jones no one talked about comics first interracial marriage, but the moment they write a gay person it hits all media markets.

i know

but this is such a blatant attention grab it is transparent. They called him Iconic when we know damn well Hal Jorden is the iconic Green Lantern. I mean any casual fan should know the green lantern is a damn weapon.
