DC Comics Cancels New Red Hood Series After Writer’s Posts About Charlie Kirk Killing

The publisher said posts promoting hostility or violence conflict with its standards of conduct.

Overview

  • DC told retailers it canceled orders for Red Hood #2 and #3 and would credit all invoiced copies of #1, including those already sold.
  • The series ended a day after its launch issue as screenshots showed Gretchen Felker-Martin appearing to celebrate Charlie Kirk’s death on Bluesky.
  • Kirk was shot during a campus event at Utah Valley University and later died at a hospital, with the shooter reported as still at large.
  • Bluesky suspended Felker-Martin’s account and warned users that glorifying violence violates its community guidelines.
  • DC has not announced whether Red Hood will continue with a different creative team, and other organizations reported disciplinary actions tied to reactions to Kirk’s killing, including MTSU and MSNBC.
