Given all the controversy about diversity lately, I don't want you to see this as an attack on your or your staff, this is just genuine curiosity on my part. A while back I asked why Marvel don't have any LGBT solo titles and you have a very thoughtful response as to how it didn't seem the right time, the creators didn't fit etc & how you wanted to do it justice. My question is, given the success of Midnighter at DC & the other lgbt books, what is it that makes you feel the time isn't r

I need the story and the creative team to show up, and feel legitimate. I don’t just want to do it because somebody else has done it, and in doing so, do it badly.

HAHAHA is is a load of bullshit. Comics editors don’t just wait around for the “right” team and the “right” story. They actively seek out talent. The reason marvel isn’t planning on publishing any books with lgbtq leads is because you don’t want to. If you did, you would have found dozens of great creators with great stories to tell.

You’re telling me no one has a great pitch for a Northstar Series? Nobody wants Moondragon or Phyla-Vell to come back? Nobody has a pitch for Loki or Psylocke? Don’t give us this “it’s not the right time bullshit”, if we keep waiting it will never be the right time. Marvel editorial’s attitude towards its lgbtq readers has evolved from aggravating to downright insulting over the past week. It has to change.

   Adding on this person’s response as well, because it’s beautiful. As a straight person, who are you to judge what feels...
