  • Never mind. I saw what did it on Twitter. Apparently Bennett drew something controversy back in 2017.

  • Some people never learn...good on Marvel for punting him, but it sounds like it should have happened years ago.

  • We don't know what that final straw was. I'm sure his work was scrutinized after the Hulk 43 fiasco.

    Marvel only made the simple business decision of getting ahead of the mob. Cancel the artist or be canceled yourself.

    I personally feel bad for Bennett. If he's anything like I feel in this social climate, he doesn't know what's going on. But that's my perspective based on my experiences. We live in a nonsensical world but I accept it because I'd rather be here than "there."
