Even More About Statues in The Daily LITG 16th June 2020

The world seems like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but fandom still brings us together. Or at least gives us someone to unite against. These are strange times, but The Daily LITG is becoming a valuable way to quantify just what comic book geek culture is up to in this time of trial. Which right now seems to be discussing Emma Frost statues. I know, who would have thought people would get so defensive of statues right now. But they were equally concerned about Harley Quinn statues a year ago too. Welcome all, to the daily Lying In The Gutters, a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead.
