Why stop there? Why not have her involved in politics of shit political parties and entire exploitative industries? She's like female Sargon, ruins anything she gets involved in.


Yeah, she's writing a self-insert. Depression Quest was rather a self-insert too. She really doesn't know how to see other perspectives, it appears.

Where are the book sales? The fact that she hasn’t announced issue #1 sold out is a bad sign for her.

The comic book rapist Eric Esquivel bragged about selling out his issue #1. How embarrassing for Zoe that she didn’t.

She didn't crack any top 25 list I can find, so that should give you some idea of sales.

Diamond hasn't released their full sales charts for December yet. That said, there's no way it cracks even the top 100. No Vertigo book ever does, unless it has Neil Gaiman's name on it, and maybe not even then.

DC isn't publishing any of its new Vertigo shit to move units. What they are trying to do...well, good question.

I don't think it was possible for it to sell out. Didn't it mysteriously go digital only late in the game?

No, she was pushing digital pre-orders really hard. I’m talking strictly about print because afaik they don’t track digital but selling a lot in print is a big deal (which we all know she didn’t).
 
somebody halfway competent would have used this as a method of introducing the characters from the comic. I had to go back and check, and apparently the Magical >Girls are Cassandra (the main character the first issue follows, Zoe Self-Insert #1), Farrah (the teal and orange one?), Tatyanna (the purple goth?) and Mary (the one with white hair who kind of looks like Zoe on the cover of her Gamergate book except not fat, so that would be Self-Insert #2). I don't know what oracles they're supposed to be connected to, and there are six symbols on her crappy pentagram merch, which don't seem to match the quizilla result symbols.

the "goth" chick is probably a Slytherin, and the purple symbol with crosses probably belongs to a black chick because it's a voodoo thing and "black girl = voodoo" is about the level of creativity she's working with. other than that, the buzzfeed quiz could have given some vague hints about who these characters are supposed to be and what jutsus they do or elements they bend.

I think this is the biggest issue with the attempts at self promotion. The comic has had a grand total of one issue and is set outside of the usual DC worlds. I've seen Zoe throw out a couple of names and phrases without ever explaining what they mean. Your post is actually the first time I've even seen the characters named. Other than that, all I've gathered it is cyber punk (?) but the cyber punk is actually techno magic which people use to make online superpowered versions of themselves to battle cyber demons? And it's presumably run by some sort of evil corporation, cause Zoe at least knows cyber punk stories frequently feature corporations running things.

3/4 of them were on the second-to-last page (at which point I was long past caring what was going on), and one of them was from a character character yelling "Hey Tatyanna! Eat ass!" during a fight scene, which could either be bants between the characters or yelling "eat ass!" at the cyberwhatever they were fighting. and apparently the symbol that looks kind of like a veve belongs to the purple goth, though.

some website named Her Cape confirms the names:
there’s no question that Mary, Tatyanna and Farrah are going to capture the imaginations of cosplayers everywhere.

:optimistic:, unless she pays them like Brianna Wu did with those R60 cosplayers.

edit: she also got the Hollywood Reporter to write about this.
The first issue reminded me of Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles,
