Andy Khouri, an editor at DC working on the revived Vertigo line, is a former Comics Alliance writer who was one of the worst leftists to run that now defunct site. Ethan Van Sciver thoughtfully spoke out against him, following this insult-to-the-audience message Khouri wrote:
What people actually mean when they say they want “non-political” comics like when they were kids is that they’re devastated to have woken up one day as an adult, read a comic book, and realized they’d grown up to become the kind of person their childhood hero punches in the face— Andy Khouri (@andykhouri) March 6, 2019
You’re referring to the various rapists and sexual harassers you’ve hired to work at DC Comics, I take it? https://t.co/o0n7DXSWu6— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
OK, Andy Khouri is responsible for hiring @RobbiRodriguez , who sent me a picture of his anus, and Eric Esquivel, who…well, google that one, bro. https://t.co/dKV41iWHSn— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
Andy Khouri here is the single biggest doorway for troubled far leftwing SJWs “creators” to find their way into an even more troubled mainstream comic book industry. He creates troubled, unsellable comics for his company while mocking “white people” on twitter. https://t.co/o0n7DXSWu6— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
His money-losing books are rapidly cancelled, often before the first issue even ships, but not before causing unwanted controversy for @DCComics and Warner Bros and disenfranchising massive swaths of fandom.— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
He hired artist Robbi Rodriguez, who harassed me with photographs of his anus here on twitter, and went unpunished as far as I can see. His book is losing money for DC Comics.— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
He hired Eric Esquivel, known even to his collaborators as a sexual abuser, but apparently because of his politics, was permitted entry to DC Comics by Andy Khouri. Eric was fired after his victims surfaced, accusing him of rape, and of the sexual harassment of underage girls.— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
He attempted to publish SECOND COMING, a book mocking Christianity which attracted more undue negative attention to DC Comics by attracting mainstream news outrage, and a petition signed by 250,000 Christians. The book’s preorders were poor, and DC cancelled publication.— Ethan Van Sciver (@EthanVanSciver) March 6, 2019
@AndyKhouri is an enabler of the worst elements within comics, literally cutting paychecks to the men who abuse the women in this industry. The day I’ll allow him to criticize #ComicsGate unchecked is the day he’s able to produce marketable comics for DC.Ain’t happening.🐸🐸

Nearly twice as many people liked this terrible tweet than actually buy your awful @vertigo_comics written by the originator of #Gamergate & an artist who sexually harasses people online by Tweeting pictures of his butthole @ them.
Wonder Woman would probably punch them both.
