Chuck Wendig says he was fired from Marvel for getting too political on Twitter
Lucasfilm Publishing announced at New York Comic Con last week that bestselling author Chuck Wendig (who’s best known for the Aftermath trilogy) was writing a Shadow of Vader miniseriesfor Marvel Comics. But less than a week later, Wendig revealed that he was kicked off the Star Wars project due to the “negativity and vulgarity” that results from Wendig’s Twitter account.
Wendig made the announcement on Twitter Friday afternoon, informing his followers that he would no longer write the final two issues of Shadow of Vader.
So, here’s a thing that has happened – I just got fired from Marvel. Taken off issues 4 and 5 of SHADOW OF VADER, and taken off an as-yet-unannounced SW book.
This might be a long thread, so apologies in advance.
