    Default Avengers Academy #26 *Spoilers*

    Just got my issue 26!

    Good issue! But man, that letter in the back. It went up on my facebook as the picture of modern homophobia.

    Gage handled that very well and responded much more politely that I am afraid that I would.

    Post it here?

    (i like how not a single thing about the actually story has been mentioned so far)
    I'd just like everyone to know that not only am I dropping Marvel, I'm dropping this forum considering I'm not even allowed to voice a negative opinion because a thread "isn't about me".

    The letter is the most shocking part for a number of reasons. But it WAS a good issue.

    I have shared the letter on The "Its Okay to be takei" facebook page =)

    Lol a friend of mine who I have been trying to get in AA for a while now decided to pick up the trades after reading the hatefilled letter.

    So looks like you got your 'progressive' (read not homophobic) fill in reader Mr. Gage!

    Well said Mr. Gage!

    I always find it odd that people associate homosexuality to political. Does being black make you political?

    The letter page is a fantastic example of the inherent double standard applied to hetero/homosexual relationships. I am really proud of the articulated response Gage provided and hopefully this might open some people's eyes to their own difficulty.

    Oh, and I liked the issue. Very interesting reveal at the end.

    Good issue but I'm really glad that storyline is over, at least for now. And we're down two Academy members but they didn't really do much so I think their defection had no real impact.

    I am interested to see where we go from here with the Initiative kids. I have a feeling there's something more to Jeremy than we're being lead to believe.

    My facebook page "I am Robert Hale of bakersfield california" has a public photo of the letter, with highlighted sections like the "Its like giving little orphan annie AIDS" comment. Feel free to take it and SHARE it.

    I uploaded it to George Takei and several similar pages already.

    You'd be surprised how much it does, which of course is really unfortunate.

    Looks like this letter is generating more activity than any spoilers for this Issue......

    And speaking of which...let's have some, ok...?!?
