I am very glad you wrote this! Damn, that is hilarious and horrible and typical of Loeb, I was unaware that that was out there. You seen what he did to the Black Panther in Ultimates?

As an aspiring writer and comic book artist that’s whiter than Rob Van Winkle, I greatly appreciate this article.

Yeah, learning how to deal with criticism is a bear and a half. One thing I hate is when people immediately fold– there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t say “No, hang on now, that isn’t it at all.” At the same time, realizing that you aren’t perfect is pretty good, too.

It’s a self-esteem thing, I think. Being able to go, “Okay, somebody hated it and I’m okay with that” is essential.

If only there were an easy answer or instant advice that’d fix it all, huh?

I took your advice and now my hand hurts.

Seriously, though, I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and I’ve decided a lot of it comes down to learning to deal with criticism. Yeah, race and religion are touchy issues, but that doesn’t mean one has to take criticism with a gut reaction of “oh god, oh god, they called me a Nazi.”

So… yeah.
