"Christians Against She-Hulk" Changes To "She-Hulk Twerking" And 190 Other Bleeding Cool Stories You May Not Have Read Anywhere Else

Okay, these are definitely going to be more regular. For a start, I’d like them to fit on a single e-mail…

Bleeding Cool was the first website to point out that Christians Against Ms Marvel later renamed to Christians Against She-Hulk was a troll trap, and that they’d been doing this for a while, all the time generating headlines from news sources that never looked into it. Well, it looks like they are pushing themselves for another round of clickbait headline generation by changing the name of the group once more to She-Hulk Twerking. That news is exclusive to this Substack… the rest of the headlines are stories you are most likely only to have read on Bleeding Cool in the last few months, in case you want to catch up. And we have divided them into handy subheads, Industrial Relations, Comic Book Stores, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Warner Bros, Religion, Image Comics, Political And Social Issues, Gender Queer, Oni Press, San Diego Comic-Con, Substack, Ike Perlmutter, Boris Johnson, Grant Morrison, Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Rob Liefeld, Tee Franklin, Kanye West, Acetategate, Doctor Who, Other Media... and Jerry Sadowitz. Enjoy.
