hey everypony !! since i’m supporting the DCblackout boycott, i figured i’d make a small info post with links and summaries !!
DCblackout:
DCblackout is the second stage of the DCsowhite discussion that took place earlier this year, which pointed out that DC hasn’t publtished a solo, on-going black title in over 1200 days
DCblackout has 3 main goals: 1. establish and announce 1-3 black on-going titles (with black creative teams) that have cancellation immunity for a minimum of 2 years, 2. educate fans on how sales work so they can accurately support the titles they love, & 3. greenlight a power company book if the titles do well (which would help a fanbase grow)
the goal of DCblackout is to raise awareness of the lack of black DC stories and give fans heroes they can relate to and see themselves in.

their official public statement is as follows:

DCsowhite and why now:
DCsowhite brought attention to the fact that there has been no black on-going title in over 1200 days. the last title was ‘I Am Batman’, which ran from 2021-2023 and ended on its #18 issue.
dc heavily relies on mini-runs or one shots for black characters, and black female characters receive even less.
james portis III (aka JPenumbra) posted a piece to comicsbeat.com focusing on the issue.

this has been an issue for a long time, but it doesn’t have to continue this way !! below is a link to the DCblackout petition, and blow that are links to JPenumbra’s original piece, the DCblackout website, and blackgirlnerds.com and bleedingcool.com’s pieces (in that order).

I get really nervous when I go beyond the edges of line I feel like I have some sort of childrens-coloring-book trauma…
And I'm terrible work with shading. But this looks pretty good? Interesting? 😧
atsushi’s way of moving on being to scream out all his feelings of hatred because for so long he’s been unable to find a voice against the orphanage director. akutagawa’s way of moving on being no longer thinking of dazai but of atsushi instead and changing his reason for living (think can you give me a reason to live?). their journeys for healing are different but they directly contradict the reason they were trapped in abuse—atsushi’s fear vs akutagawa’s desire for acknowledgement. sskk u moved me
