On the same day the new Batman-inspired Red Hood comic book series hit stores, DC Comics announced it was cancelling all future issues, citing writer Gretchen Felker-Martin’s social media posts about the shooting of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Kirk’s death and Felker-Martin’s posts coincided with the September 10 release of the first issue of the new Red Hood series, which she was slated to author through December 2026. According to Popverse, DC Comics is not only cancelling all future issues but also offering retailers credit for first-issue orders — even for copies already sold to customers. “At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints,” the company said in a statement. A DC spokesperson told The Comics Journal the call was meant to urge her to be mindful of her social media tone.
