The mentioned artwork in X-Men Gold #1 was inserted without knowledge behind its reported meanings. These implied references do not reflect the views of the writer, editors or anyone else at Marvel and are in direct opposition of the inclusiveness of Marvel Comics and what the X-Men have stood for since their creation. This artwork will be removed from subsequent printings, digital versions, and trade paperbacks and disciplinary action is being taken.

It has been noted that this does not include any apology. As to what may happen with Syaf, there is no mention. We will keep an eye on any developments.


Why do *they* need to apologize? They took it out and punished the artist


It's pretty standard for a company to apologise on behalf of serious misdeeds done by employees. If I went and sabotaged a bunch of client projects you can bet your ass my CEO would be apologising to them in person the next day, after firing me of course. It's not about fault, it's about taking responsibility.
