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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
As shock and outrage spread nationwide over what Utah Gov. Spencer Cox described as a \u201cpolitical assassination,\u201d writer Gretchen Felker-Martin drew widespread condemnation for posting social media remarks that mocked Kirk\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cThoughts and prayers you Nazi b***h\u2026 Hope the bullet\u2019s okay after touching Charlie,\u201d Felker-Martin wrote, as reported by Cosmic Book News.<\/p>\n
The post sparked immediate outrage on social media, with users responding, \u201cEnough is enough\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s long past time to flush the trash creators out of comics.\u201d<\/p>\n
The controversy quickly escalated, ultimately leading DC Comics to announce the cancellation of the series Red Hood<\/em>, which Felker-Martin had been writing.<\/p>\n
The first issue of the series had been released on Wednesday, according to Cosmic Book News.<\/p>\n
