“Fuck civility!”
Chuck Wendig, an author of (among other things) Star Wars novels and comics, was working on a Darth Vader miniseries for Marvel when his editor informed him he was fired. Wendig said it was “because of the negativity and vulgarity that my tweets bring… It was too much politics, too much vulgarity, too much negativity on my part.”
It should be noted this is Wendig’s characterization. Marvel has not commented beyond confirming Wendig had been removed.
