I do think YaBoi and JSG actually do give credit where credit is due even in their roasts. "This comic is juvenile, SJW garbage, but look at this art right here, this is really good..." etc
Yeah they definitely do, don't get me wrong. But again it goes back to the whole, how do you make comics good again? When there's only four 'good review' videos for every ten bad ones. I mean, for sure it happens - I actually went in on Nick Spencer's Spider-Man and Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil because Yaboi pointed out they were good, and from what I was able to see through the video, looked interesting. But how many more series are out there that people are just too afraid, and limited in funds to go in on?
Now that I say it all outloud, it sounds weird. On one hand, I'm saying "I don't need them to tell me what's shit, because I can probably guess" and then as well say "It'd be nice if they told me what's good" yanno? I remember a time when I could pick up just about anything and there was a higher chance it'd be good, and maybe find one or two bad ones, and now it's the opposite - and I don't like wasting my money on shit I can't return if it's bad. I have a box of crap I need to get rid of now because it's really not worth it to be on my shelf right now.
Wasn't me who proposed it but what was this image 2.0 talk? Creating another company or was image 2.0 in fact just crowdfunding? I hear Breitweiser is making his own company but rumor has it, it ain't gonna be CG affiliated.
I've never heard of Image 2.0, but what would the company be about? Fulfillment? For example: Say EVS wants to make Reignbro Brute, does he submit his idea to Image 2.0, ala Alterna? Hope they say "Yeah it looks good" and then what, they pay him? I can see how that'd be a lot easier as far as deadlines and fulfillment go, but then we're back to EVS having to propose his ideas to a company that then decides whether or not they think that book will sell. I think that's what the pros are trying to avoid, hence the crowdfunding. If they put out 'Super Frog beats the Werewolf' and no one likes it, then it doesn't get funded and doesn't get made.
As for Mitch, I want to love him so bad, I backed Red Rocket, but the guy isn't great at keeping us up to date, and I see him promoting some other upcoming thing? Is it wise for him to be thinking about starting a company when he's working on projects that I can only assume he's a little behind on?
