Twitter Suspends WhoIfNotUs In Dark Horse Marketing Stunt

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:00:22 -0600

Twitter user SkyWatcher 1, under the handle, @WhoIfNotUs only had 114 followers on Twitter.

But they did include Frank Barbiere, Fred Van Lente, Duane Swierczynski‏, Jim Gibbons, Joshua Hale Fialkov, Josh Williamson and David Hyde.

Linked to a blog, iwatchthesky.com, which we covered here, it was part of Dark Horse Comics' marketing campaign for their shared superhero universe, with side references to Skyman, Brian Boy, Ghost, Captain Midnight and X.

And now the twitter account has been suspended after they tweeted the image above. And the folks above are up in arms!

Looks like @whoifnotus is still being wrongly shut down. What doesn't @twitter and the government want you to know?! pic.twitter.com/KQpRxHNb4b

They're the only ones after the truth! "@CarsonMataxis: What is @WhoIfNotUs ? Google it, can't find info"

I think @whoifnotus is the work of @thecampaignbook. #Hedoesntsoundsorry
