I agree that Bissette's heart is in the right place, but a boycott would have to extend to DC Comics and reprints of so many other companies.
Isn't Steve Bissette the guy who made his reputation working on Len Wein and Berni Wrightson's Swamp Thing?? Give me a break.
Your point being?  That unless someone worked on something you think was important, that their opinions aren't important?

Actually, my point is who would a boycott hurt? The CEO of Disney? Unlikely.

If sales on say, Thor, were to plummet due to a boycott, you know who would get hurt? The creative team. They would be unemployed. You know, the guys, who like a young Steve Bissette, back in the early 1980's, are trying to make a living and feed their families on working on company owned creations (and maybe just trying to become famous enough to do their own creations someday, like Bisette eventually did). Others have said the boycott idea is misguided, and I agree.

It's the same as when the oil spill happened and people wanted to boycott BP. The execs at BP never felt a thing, but my friend down the street lost his job when the BP closed. Boycotting is a nice idea, but, in practice, rarely hurts who it is supposed to hurt.
