Nancy Drew Fans Are Furious She's Being Killed Off in New Comic

"Hey, how'd you celebrate that iconic young woman sleuth character? The one beloved by many?"

"We killed her, stuffed her body in a fridge, had two less popular boy sleuths solve the murder, thus robbing her of agency. Very respectful of the character and of women in general." https://t.co/UPs8QuDi4Y

So on her anniversary, you decide to use her death as a plot device for a DIFFERENT series?

killing off a female lead so two men can have the spotlight does not seem like the way to celebrate her https://t.co/TZuAJ0jZCw

The Nancy Drew books were powerful because a smart, brave, independent young woman solved crimes by doing all the things we got told weren’t for girls. Killing her off so two male characters can have as adventure is the ultimate betrayal of that legacy. https://t.co/PW10spnHEQ

As a life long Hardy Boys fan, this is accurate and killing off NANCY DREW, who is by far the better detective, is gross https://t.co/mLg7SwpWUd

Nancy Drew probably hasn't been killed off, but a much better way to tell this story would have been to have a bunch of girl detectives inspired by her do the work of solving what happened to her. Bringing those Hardy jamokes in doesn't pay tribute to her; it shoves her aside.

It's true that comics, in my limited experience, are enamored of killing the unkillable for a good stunt. But everything is not the same as everything else, because *a social and commercial context for things exists*, and this seems ick. https://t.co/QDg8tBmzgz

Coming up for air from impeachment... did they FRIDGE NANCY DREW????

I'm heated. Why kill Nancy Drew off? Why not ax one of the Hardy Boys and have her solve his murder, I mean there are at least two of them. pic.twitter.com/M6WAOxAXWz

I don't know how I am supposed to focus on taxes when two men have been assigned to create a Nancy Drew comic in which the Hardy Boys investigate her death. My concentration is out the window. Fuck the patriarchy.
