Others say that those particular fans, many of whom are active on YouTube making videos about what they feel is wrong with the comic book industry, are just being selfish and can't stand the idea that DC and Marvel are making comics that aren't aimed with them as the target audience.Įxamples of this are having minority characters take the identity of a major hero, generally by having the existing straight white male hero retire or die, or revealing that characters who had previously been portrayed as straight were actually gay by having them come out of the closet, or introducing new minority characters. Some of those fans feel that by DC and Marvel changing their comics to be more appealing to those groups, they are alienating the already existing fans who liked how things were before. Much of the conflict here is less about this graphic novel in particular, and more that this is a major symbol of DC and Marvel are making an active effort to market to young women and other minority groups, something that an active group of adult male comic fans strongly dislike.
