Comments from Marvel’s Facebook page on this image -
PFF it is white doctor strange not black get a little logical
you know whats really strange? an afroamerican making a dr stangre cosplay
Dr. Strange negro… é pai de santo?
when did Dr.Strange become black?
Doctor strange isnt black
Yea umm to bad hes white this craps geting old u never see dc comics doing crap like this wtf marvel?..oops I forgot Disney that’s why ooooooo.
jericho drumm isnt sorcerer supreme anymore :P
lol stephen strange is totally not black just sayin…
Don’t tell me dr.strange is now dr.dre
But fucking racism is DEAD?
I am so tired of white people. SO FUCKING TIRED.
Because these are the same assholes who will cry up and down about how not racist their white supremacist asses are, scream about how they got Black friends and say “i’m not a bad person it’s my opinion!!!”
No. If you post shit like this and agree with it, YOU ARE A RACIST.
And how dare they defile the awesomeness of this man’s cosplay with a such tripe.
What’s ironic is that you generalizing all white people as racist makes you racist yourself. Not to mention some of those commenters aren’t even white: “Dr. Strange negro… é pai de santo?”
I hate what these people posted as well, but can you just ignore all the white people who complemented the photo and still say white people are racist? And just so you know, I’m black.
Did I fucking say ALL white people? NO.
I just LOVE how whenever ANYONE says ANYTHING about white folks and their collective bullshit, folks have to come out the woodworks going “BUT NOT ALL WHITE PPL R LIKE THAT!!!”
But let’s ignore the fact that what I’m saying is true. It’s all about white ppls feelings right now. So lets stop everything y’all and pay homage to all the white fee fees that done got hurt. Poor white ppls fee fees. How dare I call them out on their racist shit. Because being CALLED RACIST is SO MUCH WORSE than THEIR RACIST BEHAVIORS. So it doesn’t matter that they are being so racist against this wonderful Black man’s cosplay! THEY GOT CALLED RACIST!!!! BOO HOOOOOOO!!!!
“Not all white people” = the epitome of dumb white bullshit.
This guy makes a goddamn awesome Dr. Strange and racist creeps should SHUT THE HELL UP.
A Little Help, Please?
Just a little, I promise!
One of my favorite things in the world is a website put together and run by a group of hilarious, ferocious women, called GEEKTRESS.
These women post funny stuff, they review things, they write thoughtful piece, and just make the world better in general, all with a geek slant. If you love it and you’re a geek like me, it’s probably been covered somewhere at Geektress.com.
They also do a terrific podcast, a fun, chatty, conversational show about everything from comics to film to books to everything else that’s great.
In short, I love these women and I love what they do. They’ve been doing this for years and have only gotten better.
However, due to some creepy hackers, they are a bit down right now, and they may not be able to keep their site and podcast going.
If you follow me and you believe in girl geekhood, could you do me a favor and check them out? Check out their site, facebook page, twitter feed, whatever, but most especially, check out their fun podcast. You’ll enjoy it as much as I do.
Then, you could really do them and me a favor by doing a signal boost. Reblog this post, OR just post links to your own followers. Let’s show them that what they are doing is appreciated. We have lost LOTS of ambitious female-led geeksites over the last couple years and I don’t want to see it happen again. Just a little signal boost could really help.
AND if you choose to be super, super awesome, please check out their ETSY store, which has cool and unique items including t-shirts and hats starting at just five bucks! What? YES! It wouldn’t take a lot of orders for them to be able to continue what they are doing, providing a great, funny voice for chicks in geekdom. Check it out! Five bucks!

Show these women some love, won’t you? You’ll be glad you did!
I work at the web hosting company where this site is hosted. I will be happy to assist them.
Dang! That’s awesome, thank you!!

Aw, thank you!
The hackers, on top of a mountain of medical bills, have made keeping the site open really difficult. We’ve also had a death in the family and a cancer diagnosis that’s made it so we don’t update every day like we used to. It’s just been a crappy summer all-around. Plus: No Supernatural.
I am sorry to hear all that…but I really, REALLY hope you don’t give up. The world needs Geektresseseses!

LOTS AND LOTS OF...
LOTS AND LOTS OF MATING.
In many ways, Bane is the perfect date!
MATING. LOTS AND LOTS OF MATING.
Pssst! “Mating” is just their code-word for playing Boggle!
I just wanted to say, judging from the preview I think I'm going to love how you write Kate in Batgirl :D Is she just in it for one issue or is there any chance of her showing up for future guest appearances in it? :)
She’s not entirely just in one issue, but I can’t say more right now. :)
And thank you, I have always avoided writing Kate, as much as I love her, because I didn’t want to infringe on a very personal character to Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III, two of the most talented guys in the industry.
But totally to their credit, when I asked, they both immediately gave approval and were gracious and kind and supportive the entire way through. LOVELY GUYS WHOM I ADORE!
Also, HOW GOOD DOES ARDIAN DRAW KATE? Holy CRAP!

APE IN A CAPE: Sikh Comics Readers?
Please note that this is ONLY if you feel up to it in light of the recent tragedy, and ONLY if you are 100% comfortable, but I am curious to know if I have any Sikh readers here on Tumblr.
It’s not for vanity, I just would like to know, just to know if Western comics have much visibility in this…
25 million Sikhs in the USA?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh
30 million in the world, 500k in the USA
EDIT: 750k in the UK so that’s over a million in English speaking audiences
EDIT 2: Plus 600K in Canada and another 100k in Austrailia so the total in English speaking countries is closer to 2 million.
Ack, you’re right, I got totally jumbled on the numbers somehow. I will make the fix. THANKS!
