Please, stop spoiling comics before they come out

Deadpool/Batman #1, the first inter-company comic crossover between Marvel and DC in several decades, will be released in just a matter of days. And yet, there are already spoilers for it out there. I have, mostly, managed to avoid these spoilers, outside of a headline that was accidentally served up to me while I was searching for something from this article.

Panels and pages from the highly-anticipated crossover issue have already made their way online, seemingly from at least one comic retailer who was able to take pictures of their physical copies in store. Even if a fan hasn’t clicked on an article about these spoilers, they’ve probably had to dodge the photos in some form or fashion on social media. That’s because, unsurprisingly, some fans have taken the spoilers as an excuse to freely talk about the book as if it’s already out, sharing their vocal opinions on certain character team-ups or smaller details without the full context, and without any sort of extra warning.
