Oh, Good Lord, Joe. He really does enjoy saying things to piss off fans.
I don't want to get on the bandwagon saying this book is going to suck without having read it. I've loved everything else I've ever read by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. His Sue Storm was amazing, and based on the little I've read so far, I don't imagine he would willingly take part in something that was overtly offensive. Plus I am just happy to see Monica Rambeau again.
But this comment - really. People read your books because they love the characters. They would prefer not to be slapped in the face for wanting to do so. I'm not offended by the potential of another silly book, probably along the lines of NextWave. I *AM*, however, quite offended by this "if you don't like it, stop reading" comment. If he were to say that about any racial group, he'd be fired, but since he only said it about women, I guess it's okay, right? *headdesk*
