Australian comic book writer Tom Taylor has canceled his Emerald City Comic-Con appearance and will not be attending anymore conventions in the U.S. for the foreseeable future because of President Trump’s recent immigration policy changes.
Taylor made a name for himself writing Injustice at DC Comics, a comic that he’ll be returning to later this year when Injustice 2 launches, and has gone on to write Justice League vs. Power Rangers, All-New Wolverine, Superior Iron Man and more. He also wrote the all-ages graphic novel The Deep: Here Be Dragons, which has been adapted into an animated TV show.
“America, through no fault of most of its citizens, doesn’t feel like a safe or welcoming travel destination at this moment,” Taylor said in a statement posted to Facebook. “There have been reports of interrogation, phone data downloads, requests for social media accounts, returns and five-year travel bans and everyone from children to the elderly being detained. All of this has many people I’ve spoken to reconsidering or cancelling their US travel plans.
