DC Comics immediately canceled a new comic book series by a self-identified transgender writer after he posted grotesque comments mocking the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday while attending an event at Utah Valley University hosted by Turning Point USA, the organization he founded, according to the Associated Press.

As shock and outrage spread nationwide over what Utah Gov. Spencer Cox described as a “political assassination,” writer Gretchen Felker-Martin drew widespread condemnation for posting social media remarks that mocked Kirk’s death.

“Thoughts and prayers you Nazi b***h… Hope the bullet’s okay after touching Charlie,” Felker-Martin wrote, as reported by Cosmic Book News.

The post sparked immediate outrage on social media, with users responding, “Enough is enough” and “It’s long past time to flush the trash creators out of comics.”

The controversy quickly escalated, ultimately leading DC Comics to announce the cancellation of the series Red Hood, which Felker-Martin had been writing.

The first issue of the series had been released on Wednesday, according to Cosmic Book News.

The publisher released a statement explaining its decision.

“At DC Comics, we place the highest value on our creators and community and affirm the right to peaceful, individual expression of personal viewpoints. However, posts or public comments that could be interpreted as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC’s standards of conduct,” the statement read.

As reported by Bounding Into Comics, the writer’s BlueSky account was suspended, and the offensive comment was removed.

Popverse noted that the series had been planned to release a new issue each month, featuring Jason Todd—formerly Robin and now an anti-hero—and Helena Bertinelli as the Huntress. The storyline was set in Louisiana
