Just for clarity: Ed's letter is just the tip of the iceberg. I've spent 11 years with Ed and we spoke minimally to 3 hrs a day through text sns and phone, expect Thursday when he recorded CK. have way more names and info that Ed didn't mention. know everything in that letter and more. never put you on blast but you're clocked for sure. I know the truth.

This nikka was on some other shyt. Did they have some beef or something in the past?

iirc, she put that she wanted to show that he was a creep. But she also mentioned that after that he texted her throughout the years but it was just regular shyt nothing sexual

So she wanted to show he was a creep but not for him to get in trouble? And he wasn't being sexual he was just being idk regular?

It came off as awkwardly flirty but I didn't see anything out the way in the DMs she initially posted. She was 17 but the aoc in PA is 16 so take that the way you want it.
When the shyt hit the fan that was when she mentioned that he wasn't asking for nudes and didn't want him to be cancelled.

I read that the woman he asked to draw naked later became friends with him and invited Ed on her podcast a couple of times.

All the women deleted their posts going at Ed when the media caught wind of them.

The situation w/ Ed is so shytty. Rob Liefeld's IG on it is really heartfelt and true to the moment. No one had to leave this world over this. RIP

I'm surprised by Blerds reaction to this. He seems like someone who would know that even if he feels this way not to post it on social media.

Ed's nemesis was this guy Ramon Villalobos.
Dude's a pretty well known comic artist, but a real big hater.
He's been clowning Ed for years.
You should check his twitter how many times dude talked about Ed...crazy.

To put it bluntly, Ed namechecked him in his suicide note as a contributor.

I put on about 3 people to X-men comics thanks to lending them X-men Grand Design, which is the ultimate summary/intro into X-men IMO.

 

[Uncle Baby Billy]

I like these guys's reviews.
Been following them for the last 2 months.

The Black Panther comic was featured in Do The Right thing before she was ever considered there. So again I disagree.

Yea, for all of Storm's popularity as a wall paper character in the X-Men (a common complaint from her stan base), her solo series attempts habitually ended in failure. Which is fine, many characters struggle to hold solo runs and are better suited in team books.

Comparatively, Black Panther was one of the few black characters that sold respectably well on his own merit, despite being a "negro" + fictitious non-american in a white american dominated industry. Obviously, I've been reading BP books for 27 years and was there for Priest's series in real time.

Spoiler

Which sold respectably for several years, despite a new and predominantly black cast (that 20 years later became the basis of the movie) and with Storm barely in it, nor a marketable facet of it. Hell, Wesley was pushing for a BP movie (and was his first choice over Blade) in the early 90s bc he knew it was a gold mine neglected by cacs .

So yea, it's disingenuous to credit Storm for T'Challa exceeding her "popularity" when in truth, the nygga was always being held back by cac politics (see: Disney/Ike Permulter) and it wasn't until Hudlin's mid-00s run which started off pretty popular out the gate with the focus just on BP (it was supposed to be a limited series but it sold so well Marvel asked him to make it an ongoing), that he then adding guest stars (Luke Cage, Wesley-Blade, Voodoo) before including Storm and having their history rectoned to be more intertwined than it ever was.

I spoke with Hudlin years back and he told me if he could do it again, he'd have married T'Challa off to a Wakandan woman to avoid all the nonsense that followed but it is what it is.

Despite all that, BP still turned out to be the most lucrative black comic IP of all time and a top tier comic IP period, no qualifier. To the point where Storm fans (black women) would rather have the character band wagon on the IP than be with the X-Men. I get it, "power couple" and blah blah blah... tho, like you i have my reservations given the history.

I'm not. I'm far left but I've noticed there are some black folks that operate in these majority white spaces go extra hard with the "SJW" stuff. Idk if they feel the need to be in the forefront of every social issue or what.

Outside of this I don't like this dude.

Him and on Task seem to be trying to position themselves as the forefront of liberal or black nerdom. And I like Task.
