Get WOKE go BROKE - DC Comics Edition

Nobody really likes the whole woke thing.  Yes, many people will pretend they're on board, but they're just virtue signaling, wave riding, and clout chasing for the benefit of their social media audience.  It doesn't matter how big a following you have - everyone seems to do it.

The problem is, for whatever reason, the mainstream is afraid of the woke mob.  Why more people don't just tell them to go somewhere and be quiet is beyond me.  

DC comics went woke, and because not only does no one like woke, they certainly don't want to read comic books about it:

From 'Crisis on Infinite Earth', by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.  Yes, I own a copy

The comic book division of DC has been hemorrhaging cash for a while.  They decided to cut the middle man out of the picture (Diamond Distribution), and do it on their own. This was a total flop.

So basically, they had woke unreadable product, and their distribution was in tatters.

"DC’s hip shoot efforts at distribution have been a disaster. One of their distributors quit when DC announced it was going to break with established industry practice and accept remaindered copies of unsold comics. The other company has proven so unsatisfactory that a number of comic book shops did the unthinkable and stopped ordering DC Comics.

I’ve been saying for a while that AT&T has been getting ready to swing the ax on DC Comics.

There have been a series of mass executions at DC over the last few months. These layoffs have been so large and cut so deep into the company’s executive talent pool, that there was clearly no way for the company to recover. DC Comics has obviously been in a death spiral for almost a year.

What efforts DC has made to expand its market share has resulted in ridiculous projects like, I am Not Starfire and Gotham High with Gay Alfred. Seriously, guys, the problem was not a lack of Wokeness
."

Unbelievably, DC comics may either disappear, or be completely revamped.

Hopefully, the new guys don't let the parasite of woke infect and destroy the company again.  There's a good book out there called Corporate Cancer.  The new owners of DC would do well to read it.
