Before you say it, I'm not "tone-policing" or "censoring", I'm simply calling out your hateful toxicity. Once and for all. The way you demonized creators were-and still are-beyond disgusting. Instead of using your platform to celebrate comics as a fantastic medium and form storytelling, you have used it to personally attack writers you hold pretty grudges against. Let's get a few things out of the way:

Jonathan Hickman is NOT a fascist sympathizer or closeted Neo-Nazi.

Jason Aaron is NOT a misogynist, Reddit-dudebro militant atheist or an eugenics supporter.

Ed Brisson is NOT a homophobe, bigot or fascist sympathizer.

Dan Slott is NOT a racist, misogynist, pervert or fascist sympathizer.

Donny Cates is NOT a homophobe, misogynist or Nazi apologist.

James Tynion IV, Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson are NOT fascist sympathisers nor does Williamson support eugenics.

But most importantly: They are NOT hacks.

It was never about "wanting well-written stories", "having your favourite characters treated with respect" or "criticising crappy writing", no. Comics completely aside, it was all an excuse to lead hate campaigns. Because you hate them as people. Full stop.

Way before you read any of their work, once you saw their faces and names, you've held a deep parasocial hatred against them for existing. Why? Did they personally hurt you? Did they run over your dog? Did they force you to watch them eat your goldfish? Did they shove you into lockers? Did you see them burn an orphanage of puppies and kittens and then get away with it by claiming it was in "self-defence?" Did they take a massive, stinking dump in the middle of your living room and demand that you pay for it? Why? What did any of these creators do to you? Was sending all those death threats necessary? You're no "critic" or "champion of progress", you're a bully. No better than the supervillains your heroes fight against.

Hey.  I guess I can ask, or at the least tag them on this ask.  Are you not able to ask them yourself?

I wouldn’t presume to speak for anyone else, but my guess is that hellyeahteensuperheroes might not have much to offer on the matter.  They’re still reeling (as am I) over the recent cancellation of The Champions.

A book focusing on the young Inhumans (Iso, Ahura, Dante, etc.). Would definitely be cool and I would for certain buy the heck out of that book.  Although The Marvel Rising miniseries(s) kind of has that matter covered.  

It’s a hard time for the Marvel teen heroes out there,  The X-Men teens have been left out in the cold, Champions got the axe, and it all too often feels as though the characters from New Warriors, Young Avengers, Young Allies and Avengers Academy have just been forgotten about.  

The Inhumans are fringe as it is, with not a huge audience out there to support the books.  Add in the extra fringe of a teen book and a teen Inhumans title feels like a hard sell.

…story we’re telling here.  garazza

“I dont want to sound like that guy, but I have this concern about Champions. You've previously mentioned that juggling several characters at once was one of your stumbling blocks. You want to do all the characters justice, but the more characters there are in a book, the less screentime each one gets and in turn less development, so thats why you kept the cast down to a certain size.1/3

Nova is my favorite character, but my fear is that youre ultimately just going to shelve him in favor of Snowguard because you can only handle so many characters effectively. This isn’t to say I don’t like Snowguard. I want more diverse characters and heroes like her. I just don’t like it when writers shaft some characters in favor of others, which is especially common among diverse characters. 2/3

Writers will have this mentality that there can only be so many diverse characters before they consider it “too much”, which is such bullshit. However, since you’ve expressed so much concern over giving everyone equal development, I have a little more faith in you than others that you’ll handle everything with an even hand. Is there anything you can say to assuage my concern? 3/3″

This was my full ask. Zub only answering the second part can paint a very negative picture of myself when taken out of context like that.

Judging from solicitations, I worried that the narrative would be leading towards Sam leaving and no longer being around. At the same time, as this is taking place, we are introduced a brand new character in the form of Snowguard. I jumped to worst conclusion of Sam is being replaced.

I want more representation, but not at the cost of other’s representation. I believe that writers who refuse to add more representation in their works or kill off pre-established diverse characters as newer ones are introduced because its “not realistic to have so many” are bad writers. I don’t know Zub’s track record when it comes this stuff, so I worried that Zub might have the mentality of “Sam or Amka”.

I believe in “Sam and Amka”. From his response, I don’t believe Zub is going to replace Sam. All he is doing is what all good writers do: putting their characters some tough stuff in order to create tension and drama and explore the character, all the elements of a good story. Sam will go through his arc at the same time as Zub develops Amka and the rest of the Champions.
