Comics Retailer Boycotting ‘Action Comics #1’ over The Blasphemous Letters ‘GD’.

The Comic Conspiracy, a North Carolinian comic book store is boycotting that fucking heathen Grant Morrison and his liberal brain-washing rag Action Comics over a sound effect in the first issue. The sound effect “GD” has been construed to mean “Goddamn”, which still seems pretty ludicrous to me.

Comics Alliance:

This, according to The Comic Conspiracy’s Facebook page, is a problem because Superman was created to be a character who was pure good, and who consequently would never use such foul language, as it is offensive to both Christians  and  to Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Sadly, those two men are no longer alive and can’t voice their own displeasure, but they can rest easy knowing that the the Comic Conspiracy is defending their honor.

The boycott has even prompted a reaction from DC Comics and Grant Morrison themselves, who posted a clarification on  The Source:

“It should go without saying that the offending panel and caption, a mere ‘GD’, is a sound effect grunt — to suggest Superman’s breath being forced through gritted teeth — much like ‘DHH’, ‘GNUHH’ or the many others used throughout this book and in general in the comics business. It’s not in any way representative of God or a curse.”  — Grant Morrison

Shit man, Superman is obviously an analog for God. And even God’s son Jesus had to flip some fucking tables every once in a while. Right?
