I remember EVS and co. espousing the same thing, if mags, ta-nehisi and others made their own IP it would've been fine and here is eric july doing that and he's getting flak..
The implication was that if Mags and Ta-Nehisi did their own IP, they would fail. But with Eric exactly the opposite happened.
I seriously hope EVS is just faking this. Otherwise the dude is getting extremely unhinged.
When the fucky-fuck-fuck has Van Sciver been sincere at anything?
I think of it slightly differently. 90% of Ethan's customers are fans of the streams. They don't really care about the comics at all. The comics are just merchandise that people can buy to display their support for the show.
Similar thing with July; for all his rejection of the CG model, he did follow one of Richard C Meyer's core tenets for comic book success: build your stupid crowd first and then pitch them your stupid comic.
Could contribute to why @FROG is so bitter. It's a business structure that obviously works and maybe he is pissed he didn't think of doing it first
I bet he did think about it. Problem for @FROG was the risk: the difference with July's model was that EJ set his business up investing all that time, MONEY and effort before selling a single book. There was a real possibility he would fail with no one caring for his stuff and him left hanging on to a stock of trashy books and art/printing/shipping/storage/et cetera bills (and getting shit on for it here at the farms). Digging yourself into a hole for an uncertain success later on is not for the faint of heart. And I wouldn't be surprised Ethan also resents this self-confidence in Eric.
Edit: Clarity...
