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

He came back briefly last month to explain his working with Vic King. Says he didn't know Vic's past. I see absolutely no reason to doubt him.

At some point he apparently committed the absolutely unforgivable sin of streaming with Mark Peligrini about horror media, and CG gave him a rash of shit.

His departure from CG is what allowed Liam to come back in. I don't think that's a very good trade. Lol.

As far as I'm concerned, Nasser won. He's probably way better off without this shit.
I'm sure Nasser did not know about Vic King, but perhaps should have been suspicious when Vic said to him "Hey Nasser, do you have any pics of yourself naked, from when you were 12 years old?"
 
If FROG were smart, he wouldn't pick this fight.

Actually, if he were REALLY smart, he'd drop the whole Eric July thing altogether, but I suppose we can only expect so much.

I'm not sure I can agree that Jim does gay ops. At least not modern Jim. He's a shitlord and a troll for sure, but he's pretty good at adhering to limitations as to what he will and won't do in pursuit of a laugh.

Jim's biggest problem, IMO, has been his fanbase. I don't really have any issues with the man himself. I always found his content enjoyable.

He's a gay opper. He's evolved into more of a point and his retards go at somebody. Which is the way. to do it if your gonna have an army of unbearable par asocial idiots.

EVS, having tried, and failed, to groom the same following, is probably trying to figure out a way to make things work. The good thing for him is I don't think there's too much overlap between Jim hardcore dumbasses and CG's dipshit brigade. Which is something Jimstans have a problem with.

His reach isn't what it used to be.
 
Digression, but I never understood what exactly a man wants from a sexy super lady book.

What is the point of this. Obviously it’s not trying to be great literature. Why the fuck not just get porn? It’s still going to be embarrassing when people find it lying around the house.
context and stimulation, it activates your neurons

that's why its sexier when you see a woman partially clothed than a woman completely nude

Uhm, have you read Fathom? I mean the actual OG books? The art is amazing, the story is pretty good. This is more in the sperg about comics thread but, as someone who actually really likes Aspen Matthews the character (female aquaman with a few twists on the mythos) I very much take offense to this. She was written by the likes of JT krul and Geoff Johns with art by Ale Garza, Talent caldwell and Michael Turner. So yes, she's attractive.

I'd grant you maybe you just really chose your example poorly? Zenoscope or some Image books from current year are good examples.
 
I’ve always wondered how many regulars/past regulars in this thread came to know of Comicsgate through an appreciation of comics, rather than becoming aware of Ethan and co because of their increasing levels of lolcow faggotry.

Myself, I was a devotee of the comics scene from the 80s/90s; including Transformers UK and Death’s Head, Machine Man and Iron Man.

Like many, I had grown tired of the bullshit liberalist propaganda in all mid-2010 media including comics; so when I first became aware of an ‘organised’ crowdfunding movement like Comicsgate, I was really interested. Admittedly, I only became aware, of all ironies, after seeing EVS appear on an Az Chats episode circa Spring 2020.

I really thought that the idea of Comicsgate had the potential to do something great. And it could have been - but of course we know how history played out. A bunch of unchecked egos who languished in the drama and encouragement from brainwashed paypigs, reminding us all that behind every great creative you need a proper manager to crack the whip, push deadlines and manage the admin side.

As much as I delight in EVS’ fury and continuous buffoonery, the ashes of Comicsgate make me reflect on what a wasted opportunity this. Unlike the majority of Lolcows on the site (perhaps with the exception of Rekieta), Comicsgate will serve as an historic lesson in how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The illustrious Artists Sven Stoffels releasing a comic got me to pay attention to CG.

Comics were always very woke, I would say woker than TV and Hollywood, at least the mainstream US ones.
Now they just straight up fill the funny books with hatred for anything straight, anything White and anything good, the subtlety to their propaganda has been completely dropped.

I heard of CG in passing and knew immediately this was lame and would only lead to online faggotry.
Why would you call your reactionary movement after GG?
And like most other online reactionary movement it's without a vision or clear stances.
It was doomed to be an e-celeb slapfight from the beginning because the only mission statement of the movement is that they don't like woke in comics.
Most of them would at best say their stance is something like; we want less unnecessary Bipocs and gays and girlbosses in comics, unless they are done well.

It's such a weak and wishy washy position, that it had to come down to the bigger fish in the movement calling what is and what isn't woke/good.

A movement without a clear vision and concrete rules is always doomed to fail.
And "I don't like how these other guys are doing things" isn't a vision for the future.
LOL, the conservative strategy deboonked.

Compare CG to Iconic or Rippaverse in terms of vision for the future.
CG: We don't like woke in comics
Iconic: Let's publish our own comics the way we like it and build a comics publisher focused on what the reader wants.
Rippa: Fuck Marvel n shiet, I'm finna do ma own Marvel, and it's gon' be conservative.

I confess I was literally judging the book by its cover

ha, don't blame you, I'm sure modern Aspen is fucking garbage.

But Mike Turner's art is beautiful. The women, the men, he did these amazing visual landscapes in Fathom/Soulfire that are just breathtaking. Then canceraids came and Turner literally died before finishing Soulfire.

There's certainly a sexual aspect, but I'd put the fine line at legit porn comics (Savage Dragon/zenoscope etc) and comics that have an artistic, but sexualized bent.

People just like looking at the pretty, man. It doesn't have to devolve to porn.
 
Started poking my head around in Mandy Summers books because that idea of all CG female characters looking the same got my noggin joggin.
I remembered that Mandy had that god awful Wart the Wizard comic that Ethan gobbled up because "holy shit a woman in CG?! Now I can buffer the fag theories" even though the comic was nothing to even look at. So it seems she's been busy,

9 campaigns is a lot for only 5 years, but hey if she's putting them all out, who gives a fuck. I noticed that her ... story matieral has taken a bit of a turn. From the low effort children's book to decidedly more, adult entertainment. I mean, you do you, girl. I'll give her credit, I read through a lot of the comments and updates and it seems she's pretty much on top of her shit usually. Sometimes there's delays, sometimes it's been flat out late, but she seems to try and reply to as many comments as possible, so good for her. She's already doing better than the frog.

Nothing extraordinary is happening here, a few "where's my books" from time to time but the major complaints with Pirate Queen aka 'we get it, your nipples are always hard' start popping up. International people getitng their books a little later than everyone else, nothing big. But I'm also noticing a huge increase of extra guff that doesn't make me want a comic any more or less. That's when I get to this ... GEM.

1710459323765.png

By far her biggest campaign win. (I wonder why)
It also has a bunch of extra shit that, when I read into, kind of look familiar. Interior art is nothing to really praise, story seems basic bitch. One panel has the classic "my energy is ripping my clothes apart from me, but I'm also in public... AND a big busty blonde girl! Oops!"

1710459628517.png

Anyway, I could go more in-depth but considering I'm very ⏰ on this whole campaign (almost as late as she has been on some of hers) I'll just leave it here. Very mid art, very very mid story from the looks of it, too much extra shit that no one really needs (two t-shirts with images of alternate covers as the main image.. tsk tsk, laziness) cards, stickers, a collector's box, and a statue :thinking: Mr. H I wonder how she's paying for all this shit to produce... HMMMM

I mean, this whole thing looks so similar to another project that's getting its ass rimmed sideways, while this one gets its dick sucked like some shlub behind a pizza hut. I cannot fathom as to why. I'm not even saying this character and Yaira are the same, just the sum of the campaigns themselves.

I also noticed that she has a website where you can order https://www.stuntmancomics.com/
This seems like it's going against the spirit of Comicsgate!

1710460257207.png

Seems well known by backers that she ships her website orders first... Hm.

Anyway, food for thought.

I found comicsgate while walking back to my car ordering take out at wendy's I heard some laughter and (Die Rose Tico!) behind a dumpster....

curious I investigated, and there was a fat @FROG licking Gal Samones carpet while live streaming on his Obama phone to The High Council. I said are you 2 ok back there? @FROG said yes its just a bit check me out at @ComicArtistProSecrets on you tube, been laughing at this fat lazy narcasit ever since.

Smart, that is what you should do. Fuck giving these crowd funding sites a big cut if you can funnel people towards your own website.

Is sucking off crowd funding sites another retarded EVS commandment?

Nice.

Nice.
He seems to have an issue with Rippa doing it. He loves doing his business with IGG, I don't think it's a dumb decision, but felt compelled to document hypocrisy.

Yes, The Human Sun Beam demands that only crowd funded comics are based comics .....

Imagine if all the IGG backers on projects that never fulfilled, or are half a decade late organized a class action lawsuit ...... not saying I would or recommend it. But what a great LoLsuit that would be.

Most comics are geared towards a younger audience. And as a former teen boy I can tell you that all I wanted was hot chicks and a lot of action with zero shame on how it was advertised. As a current manchild I still like hot chicks and a lot of action, but I've grown to appreciate a girl being hot in different ways than just bare tits and ass.

I'd be more embarrassed to be caught having squirrel girl or some hipster slice of life indie comic. I haven't read that book but unless it is notoriously terrible I wouldn't have an issue with leaving it lying around. No one in my family would care and it would be just another one of dad's comics. I don't usually have angry feminists over for dinner though.

But that reminds me of some article or blog post I read once where a guy described buying what I want to say was a tabletop RPG or something that had some kind of scantily clad lady on the cover and he was traumatized by having to interact with the cashier with that on the cover and also did not want anyone to see him owning it and wished it had some other cover. It was one of the most neurotic things I ever saw a guy write and I wished I saved it.

I don't think most people in real life care that much. If they already know you're into comics and didn't judge you then the hard part's already over.
 
I keep forgetting we have new people now!

A lot of lore on Gemshock. Tldr: we thought it was a Witchblade ripoff, turns out it was probably a ripoff of another indie property, with Mandy collaborator Clint Hilinski potentially playing a part.

Is sucking off crowd funding sites another retarded EVS commandment?
Indiegogo specifically. Tons of people burnt for wanting to use Kickstarter.
Indiegogo started shadowbanning CG campaigns last year, so personal sites are now permitted.



I watched a bit of the JDA stream. The guy is having a crisis of faith because daddy Jim is getting involved in the Rippa situation. JDA & co thought the Riley stuff was hilarious as it happened, he seems baffled that Jim doesn't seem to get the joke. He's just getting shit on by all sides now.:lit:
He also claims he talked to Warski about Warcampaign.
 
nice guy slum lord duck book artist ALAZMAT is streaming, after going on dog enthusiast katy did's show trying to find a market between slums, and evs's warmth. May I suggest rippasend any ways he probably going to private the stream, so any one wanting clips from nice guy mush mouth 49 minutes in
