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

It’s mostly portraying JC as an Adam Sandler character (idiot with a heart of gold). PS - Nice consistency Pace, really like the shape-shifting knocked out bad guys:

The only JC part that I actually liked was this one:

Pace criticizing Canales, but...

1. Canales and Ya Boi Zack both acknowledge that this wasn't going to be the artist's best work. There was nothing budgeted for re-work etc.
2. Pace doesn't have that excuse his book 2nd Coming. Furthermore, Pace has coloring to help cover up any possible mistakes and they're still glaring.
3. Canales and Ya Boi put out their own creator owned work, something Pace refused to do and instead stole money from his backers.

Christians and especially Catholics can be unpredictably weird about Jesus humor. For example Monty Python’s Life of Brian has been branded as blasphemy by the Catholic Church... but you will never find an English speaking Catholic Priest that isn’t letter perfect on every frame and line of it, plus all the rest of the Python catalog. They generally have good instincts regarding informed satire of some of the absurdities of organized religion vs hipster douchenozzels flinging shit at them. (Many Catholic Priests like South Parks Father Maxxy) I think they feel second coming is rather obviously the second sort.

Richard Pace cannot throw stones at Canales considering MARVEL. Now, Pace, be a good boy and suck Kwanzer's cock and say his artist on Black AF is "perfection" you fucking retard.

No I mean it, I dare you. Give the same amount of scrutiny to artists you normally deem worthy of your praise. Be unbiased for a moment - something Yaboi can do, but none of you seem to be able to.

Edit: I got sidetracked and forgot to talk about Second Coming. I hope it was worth the fight. The book looks average to below average as far as art, the story is tryhard and uninteresting. I cannot wait to see the numbers for this fucking book. Who is it published with? I hope it was worth scooping up this 'winner' you morons. You sure got the next 'The Killing Joke'.

I think I heard a reviewer say Wrong Earth was fine, I don't remember who or if it was some weird fever dream I had.
Fucking...Maybe Nerkish!?

The Edgar Allen Poe one looks like cringefest, but not enjoyable. These people do know there are worse people than Hitler right? Shocker, I know. How dare. But you know what, you go gett`m "By: Various" - and I doubt I will be able to find these comics singularly at any of my LCS and even less convinced I'll find their TPB.

and a BIG 10-4 on that fucking embarrassing bit of Captain Ginger

What I find more deliciously ironic than anything is that people predicted what this book was gonna be about just by seeing that it was being published by nu-Vertigo. Wannabe edgy but actually stale and played out by at least 20 years.

This is about what I expected from Mark Russell. He made a fucking comic about Booster Gold meeting the Flinstones that was unfunny and mean spirited.

Holy shit that is a cursed image. It looks like Adolph and Poe are holding up a table with their heads, the background is so disproportionate I cant even look at it. This kind of picture will legit make people mad on the internet.

As someone who doesn't follow Booster, what IS his origin?
Click to expand...

Booster was a star college quarterback in the 25th century, from a poor family. When his mother started having health issues, his father convinced him to throw games in order to make money for medical treatments. He got caught and lost his scholarship, ending up as a janitor at a museum. He gathered up some on display tech, the security robot Skeets, stole a time machine, and headed to the present day to start a new life grifting as a superhero / celebrity spokesman.

I'm currently mulling over the whole Comicsgate thing for a while- I don't get excited about comics any more, I gave up some time around 2008 and I only go and by the collected editions of older stories.

But just a few thoughts...

Am I to believe that some coughing former Jarhead, sitting in his car with a box of McNuggets and using a mobile phone camera to flip through a comic and critique it can cause this much insane hysteria in the comics industry?

This leads me to believe a few things. If I'm wrong, call me out on it. And if you have another opinion, please share it with me.

-The comics industry is in dire straits (and the number show it), and this kind of critique puts a spotlight on how far it's fallen

-The industry is in dire straits, and the people in it know they'll be getting released soon, and people like Meyer and other independents that loathe the current industry aren't alone and are more in touch with what the paying fanbase wants- and those critics can easily become competition

-The industry is hurting so bad, they need an exagerrated boogieman in order to use "Activist Marketing" ("Only bigots hate this product, give me money for it and it fights bigots!").

Thoughts?

I agree with most but the "new, young & talented" crop of "Pros" have no love for the medium as well as being egotistic pricks. It's plainly obvious most do comics as a stepping stool for movies/tv/animation. Hell, the prime example of how blatant this exact problem is, just got a tv show for a book that sells less than 1K issues.

Magdalene Visaggio (formerly Brian Visaggio) is a troon comic writer, who as a male was unwanted by the comics industry. He only had 1 credit to his name, until he decided to put on a wig and go on HRT. Since trooning out he's had work from nearly every single publication (Marvel, DC Comics, Oni Press, IDW, Dark Horse and so on) as a diversity hire. How do we know he's a diversity hire, you're probably thinking?

1. His sales are beyond trash. Most of his books start with low sales and end with even lower sales:
837794

(N/A = is not tracked by Comichron)

This warranted a tv show:
837765


And 2. He has little to no people actually buying his book. He relies on comic shops to gamble on his books to actually sell. At conventions his booth is always empty. Brave souls have actually managed to get a PRICELESS picture of his booth (:story: I will never not love this picture):
837797


History repeated itself recently at Comicpolooza 2019:

It's always heartening to remember that SJWs are a very, very loud minority, the vast majority of comics fans either don't know or dislike Mags.
