DC Cancels 'Red Hood' After Writer's Posts About Charlie Kirk

The publisher cited its conduct policy against posts seen as promoting hostility or violence.

Overview

  • DC told retailers it canceled orders for Red Hood #2 and #3 and will credit shops for all invoiced copies of #1, including those already sold.
  • Screenshots show writer Gretchen Felker-Martin posted “Thoughts and prayers you Nazi bitch” and “Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Charlie Kirk” after the conservative activist was shot and killed at Utah Valley University.
  • Felker-Martin’s Bluesky account was suspended or deactivated after the posts circulated, and the platform reiterated that celebrating harm violates its guidelines.
  • In a new interview reported by Gizmodo, Felker-Martin called the remarks a moment of poor impulse control, expressed sympathy for collaborators, said she stands by her views, and stated she does not wish to work with DC.
  • Law enforcement continued searching for the shooter as outlets reported DC’s stance that posts perceived as promoting hostility or violence violate its standards of conduct.
