Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

The side that had their IP stolen? Twice? Mandy Summers stole Jailbait for Gemshock and Teach for Pirate Queen. And Wart (the) Wizard from Wart and the Wizard. And so on.
Yeah but these are the type of people I despise the most. So I find it really hard to feel sorry for them. Plus, Tidal’s IP is itself a direct ripoff of WitchBlade So, who is stealing from who here?

As Tidal guy said on Twitter, the writer of MSTK3000 wrote Diamond / Jailbait as a deliberate parody of Witchblade, and the comic is described in its original solicitation as Dateline To Catch A Predator meets Witchblade.

Unlike the Gemshock grift it wasn't some secret or scam, they straight up said what it was. He isn't saying Jailbait is super original, he's saying Mandy Summers stole it. Which she did, pretty obviously. Along with Legacy of Blackbeard and Wart (the) Wizard that people have found so far.

Dale Keown has raced in, fedora tipping madly, to rescue his racemixing stripper. It hasn't gone well. Other Image alums are even telling him to pull up. He didn't, naturally.
 
I thought industry vets like Dale Keown might lend a bit of dignity and legitimacy to comicsgate. Oh well. Time to stop facepalming and start pointing and laughing.
Yea that was shattered a while ago when Dale got so drunk on stream that he started crying and shit. Well the first time he did this. It has happened multiple times since then, so him white knighting for Mandy on this are just more shots in a dead horse.
Has the Davis Duo commented on this? It would be interesting to see what they think of this situation considering the they are currently claiming that Disney stole their Starlight Cats idea to make a tv show out of. This weeks installment of the Ballers Side Show may actually be interesting for once( I doubt it, we will probably still be disappointed)

noooo they're group soyfacing at Comicsgate noooo
This is a classic example of how no one in comics can win. They're going after CG and the angle they chose is "racism"? Lol, lmao. Go back to sleep, npcs. An AI chatbot could offer more relevant criticism. I guess they can't make fun of old, fat, lazy, stupid, lying, theivin or grifting, since that would be some type of ist wrongthink.

Ageism, body shaming, ableism, neurotypical...normativity? And plain old icky reactionary moral absolutism.

So yeah, all these right wing comics chuds are just straight up racist! What, Eric Jul... Eric who...? How much...?

Ah, no, I joke, but it doesn't quite convey the disgust and cringe I feel at these peabrained bellends, imagining their sick dunk on comicsgate with such a lame round of finger pointing. These tits have heard of comicsgate, they've heard they're the 'bad guys', the trumpist conservatards, what have you. But they imagine and screech "racist!" because they're frightened that if they ever looked at what CGers actually say, they'd be triggered so hard their mouths would be permanently locked into those soy gasps. Not that it would make much cosmetic difference.

As NSA says, there are so many legitimate reasons and routes to dunk on comicsgate. Those manlets don't have animal protein in their diet - or the necessary carpal diameter- to tap a keyboard and find out what, let alone come up with a better burn than 'gape like retards at own accusation of racism'.

At first I couldn't figure out why a group of men thought it would be a huge dunk to have a picture taken of them clutching their wine glasses at racism...

Looks like HeroGeek on twitter was the first to point this out almost a year ago. He's often at odds with the mid CG thots Piper and Mandy. Mandy calls it a pedo book twice. In addition to infringement TidalWave Comics have grounds for a Peggy style defamation suit. Just tell them to make sure to file in the correct jurisdiction.

this is the deleted tweet in the archive:

Add "Pops VanZandt" to the lawsuit just for the lulz.

Also the publishers of the Jailbait comic made it available for free on pdf for now and it's not porn. No nudity or sex like Jon Lamont's book so Tidal may have a case if they really want to stick it to Mandy. Didn't read the text yet but looks like there is some human trafficking going with the villain. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2bhnkjnaclm0917/JailbaitGN.pdf?dl=0

Pretty interesting that in the tweet from March 2022 she says "Dale Keown and I created Gemshock together" but the February 2023 the wording is slightly different "neither myself nor Dale Keown (who designed Gemshock) has ever..." Is she already distancing herself from the problem by lessening her involvement in the design? Could just be sloppy wording from an airhead and I'm reading too much into it I guess.

I don’t if they do have a case cuz Marvel and DC rip off of each all of the time.


This is DC’s Timberwolf, an alien dude who has a healing factor just like Wolverine, similar color scheme, attacks with claws like Sabertooth and sports the same hairdo as Wolvie.

He came out in 1964.

ten years later in 1974, this guy comes out.

and think about all the Superman clones with twists added to their character.

Or the blatant ripoff that Deadpool was from Deathstrone.

I was intrigued enough by what you said here to actually sit down and read the damn thing.

You are substantially correct. Mandy is being a dumb bitch yet again.

It's about a superheroine named Diamond who FIGHTS pedophiles and other sexual predators. She works for some superhero organization that does exclusively that. All the superheroines are named after gemstones, and the organization is called GEM. Within the very first pages she brings to justice a guy that was going to rape a 13 year old girl. The overarching concept of this thing isn't exactly subtle.

Overall, Mandy is WAY out of line here. The comic is the exact opposite of what she's saying.

Hell, the blub on the back cover gives it away.
1675371948099.png

The authors might be soyboys, but I think there's an interesting concept here if I'm being completely honest. The writing is ham-fisted, and I don't care much for the art. There's also some dumb stuff about the heroine riding a bicycle because she's "going green" and like 5 pages of her bitching about her skimpy costume. Again, it's an appealing concept. I just think the execution is off and there's a lot of stupid shit weighing it down.

Saying retarded ignorant things like Mandy is saying only helps people like Preston and Lamont in their attempts to portray themselves as being wrongly attacked by CG. Were I @FROG, I'd offer a recrimination here to avoid the appearance that CG makes a habit of calling anybody opposed to them pedos. That shit is gonna spiral out of control and bite people in the ass eventually.

Yeah, but that's John Byrne's Wolverine design, which didn't come out until the 80's. Wolverine's original design looked very dissimilar to Timberwolf.

I dunno, I came into this thinking Clint Hilinski was just some tracing coom comic artist and, while he remains that, now I think he's the most based motherfucker alive.

Yeah, but a lot of the legitimate reasons to dunk on CG are pretty played out, and don't really seem to phase them much. Have they ever tried to improve fulfillment time despite years of bitching? It might be cathartic to keep pointing it out, but it's also ultimately pointless. Which is not to say calling them racist is any better. That's even dumber. I already pointed out that July's response to Vito was baby shit.

To @Fleetwood's point, the MUCH bigger issue here, I think, is that is does seem like Mandy is engaged in libel. There is no rational basis to call Jailbait an underage pedo book. I just read the damn thing, and I invite anyone else here to do the same and judge for themselves.

I had the basic fucking courtesy to flip through Boy Soprano before agreeing that, yes, Flamenco does indeed like Shotacon. But I guess CG is fucking lazy and illiterate, and doesn't care about finding out the truth before lashing out at their enemies.

I'm on board with the criticism against Preston, Lamont, and Just Some Guy, but this is a bridge too far. Mandy is retarded.

I almost hope they do sue her, that way FROG can blow the horn of Gondor, assemble the "Kings," and try REALLY hard (to no avail) to justify calling an obvious ANTI-pedo book a pedo book. That has definite potential to be funny.

I think Frog is going to give her the Adam Post treatment if she gets sued. The bad thing about this is that he will most likely lose Dale in the process but, stuff like this is most definitely going to hurt his brand if he rallies the troops to her defense.
