1. Dark Horse:

   >Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works.

   >Confirming that the Anansi Boys comic series and collected volume have been cancelled.

2. Why can’t my comic writers just be chill?

   Surprising no one.

   That [Vulture article](https://www.vulture.com/article/neil-gaiman-allegations-controversy-amanda-palmer-sandman-madoc.html) was as harrowing a read as I’ve come across recently.

4. We’re not *that* Dark!

5. I had *just* started reading the sandman 😢

6. And as always super rich author and sex pest Gaiman won’t even notice this but the working class artists and writers (it’s an adaptation) get fucked over.

7. How long before he starts doing maga comics or stories? That seems to be a trend among people exposed as douchebag abusers

8. Wonder if Netflix will cancel the Sandman season 2 series based on his work.

9. Why now tho? they’re a little late to the game.

10. This gaiman SA thing makes me sad. I like all his works. I woulda loved a comic anansi boys.

11. His ex, Amanda Palmer, has been implicated in some of it. My ex went to high school with her in Lexington MA and was relentlessly and harshly bullied by Amanda, so I am really not surprised that she’s implicated in this.

12. Who would have thought looking at him and Alan Moore that he would end up being the one who is a predator!

13. So everyone else working on this project is out of a job…..

14. What took them so long? Wanted to wait for more victims?

15. You know what’s weird? Between Gaiman, Warren Ellis, and Joss Whedon, the wholesome one turns out to be Alan Moore.

    Y’know, the wizard who is always inviting you into his basement to worship his snake god.

    He’s the one you aren’t going to get groped by.
