DC Comics has abruptly canceled its new mature-rated comic series, "Red Hood," after only one issue was released. 
The decision stems from controversial social media comments made by writer Gretchen Felker-Martin regarding the attack on conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The move has sent shockwaves through the comic book industry, bringing an unexpected halt to a highly anticipated title.
Charlie Kirk, a prominent American conservative activist and close ally of former President Donald Trump, was fatally shot in the neck on September 11, 2025, during a speech at a university in Utah.
Despite Kirk's controversial political stances, the broader public widely condemned the violence, asserting that such acts are never a solution.
However, Felker-Martin posted comments on social media immediately after the incident, stating, "Thoughts and prayers for you, you Nazi bitch." She later added, "Hope that bullet that touched Charlie Kirk is okay." These remarks quickly ignited a firestorm of criticism. 
"Red Hood" was intended to mark a new beginning for the character Jason Todd, with a storyline following his adventures with Huntress as they relocated to Louisiana. While the first issue received mixed reviews, it had garnered significant fan attention. Unexpectedly, DC's official statement announced: "All orders for 'Red Hood' issues #2 and #3 are being canceled, and refunds will be provided to retailers, including for issue #1 already sold." This effectively cut the series short.
Popverse reported that DC emphasized its commitment to creator freedom but also reiterated that "any statements that could be interpreted as promoting hostility or violence are inconsistent with DC's code of conduct." Consequently, issues #2 and #3, originally slated for release on October 2 and November 12, were entirely pulled from the schedule. 
It remains unclear whether DC will seek a new writer to continue the story or opt for a complete reboot of the project. However, many in the industry believe that Gretchen Felker-Martin's creative career at DC Comics has likely come to an end.
