Demand Accountability: DC Comics Must Reconsider Its Choice of Writer for Red Hood

DC Comics recently announced a new comic book series, Red Hood, written by Gretchen Felker-Martin. Unfortunately, this appointment raises serious concerns due to numerous deeply troubling social media posts by Felker-Martin that glorify violence and promote antisemitic narratives.

Among Felker-Martin’s documented statements:

  • She celebrated the October 7th massacre in Israel, where over 1,200 civilians were murdered, hundreds injured, raped, and more than 250 taken hostage — including children and Holocaust survivors.
  • She labeled murdered Israelis as “settlers”, implying that all of Israel is illegitimate and justifying their deaths through this dehumanizing rhetoric.
  • She compared Zionists — Jews who believe in the right to self-determination in their indigenous homeland — to Nazis, echoing classic antisemitic tropes condemned under the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Working (IHRA) Definition of Antisemitism.
  • She spread a conspiracy theory blaming Israelis for the atrocities committed on October 7th, effectively denying the facts of the massacre and shifting blame to the victims.

These are not isolated instances. They reflect an ongoing pattern of hate and extremism that cannot and must not be ignored — especially by a respected publisher like DC Comics.

We Call on DC Comics to Take Immediate Action:

DC Comics must hold Gretchen Felker-Martin accountable for her hateful rhetoric and reconsider her role in shaping the voice of Red Hood. Free speech does not shield incitement to violence or the spread of dangerous antisemitic propaganda.
