Worst of 2016: Red One
By Dustin Cabeal
Can you believe that this book came out again? Twice a fucking year… that’s cool with everyone? “We’re doing a European release.” Yeah, the reason Europe tolerates that shit is because it’s worth waiting for. This was more of the same terrible sexist bullshit. Why no one was up in a rage about it when people were shitting their pants about variant covers is beyond my comprehension. Variant fucking covers made you people made, but here’s something that is just repulsive with its story and how it treats women, but you write it off because “that’s the era the story takes place in.”
Fuck that. That doesn’t work for any other book so don’t excuse it just because you love Terry Dodson’s art. Or if you are, don’t ever fucking complain about a variant cover that you have no intention of buying ever again. My god I can’t believe this book came back and was just the same… worst yet, people gave it good review scores… I don’t think I understand this industry anymore.
