Comicsgate Hangers-On and Drama Whores - A thread about some guy who's mad about Star Wars and the neckbeards obsessively stalking him

I would hope once paychecks have to be handed out, the whip comes out to keep people well-behaved. But we already see how some of these guys behave while they're getting funded, so perhaps it's a fools errand.

Unless they want to keep paying 25 bucks a book, a little gatekeeping may be in order to handle this situation. And yeah having to make sure people actually get their shit together and finish their books in timely fashion would be annoying but if they're gonna treat him like the boss, fuck it, might as well actually become the boss then.

I think you mean to say "if he's going to call himself Caesar, then at least he can keep the army marching on time"

@FROG Serious question, I'm sure you thought about this, but how viable would making your own Image Comics be? Is there enough talent going around to even attempt this?
[/QUOTE]

There's plenty of talent, but everyone wants to do their own thing. I think a few of us are going to grow big enough to employ the others. I'm already scooping up Antonio Brice and Caanan White for my next book at All Caps, FEARSOME.

Zack is hiring tons of people too.

Malin and Cecil are hiring.

It may be that Zack, Jon, Cecil and I merge together as partners one day, but right now we're in the trenches.

yes but your conclusion is a bit far fetched. zac is the only one who realy got fresh into comics(atleast in a seriouse way) from those who made it. the other 2, doug and mr frog where well known before and the others are just one offs right now.

So, ComicsJacks/Preston offers to buy Detective Dead. But the ComicsGate people would rather be grifted on than see it completed? Also, this guy apparently used backer's money to buy countless comicsgate projects? Comic Book Hut brought up the idea that Comicsgate grifters could be passing around cash to prop up different projects.

Are you honestly telling me you think the guy that can't raise 50 backers for a project has any intention of aquiring and finishing Detective Dead and delivering it?
Preston is just rubbing salt in the wound, I really don't think he's going to spend his mummy and daddies trust fund money on finishing a comicsgate project, just to 'own the gaters', but I'm sure he's chuckling pretty hard right now.

I did wonder how a guy that's unemployed could splash that kind of cash around, I guess nobody in reciept of that cash wanted to think too hard about it, but I do remember EVS telling him he didn't have to keep spamming him with superchats when he's welcome to just come on a stream and talk.
I get the impression that Cridious was desperately buying clout and friends in the hope that he could get attention and backers for the book and then vanished when it became undeniable that the whole thing was fucked.

to Preston’s Credit, at least he has a history of finishing and delivering on his projects.

With regards to Preston, it’s been stated in the other thread that he has successfully fulfilled at least one campaign at this point, putting him leagues ahead of Donal, Andrew Huerta, Cridious etc. I’d honestly back his books myself if they were a subject matter I was remotely interested in.

The question is... how?

The man has never raised much more then 5k for a campaign, his latests campaigns have made under a grand and yet he's employed a penciler, an inker and a colourist.
Unless they're chained up in his basement as slave labour (and I guess you have to consider that possibility) then his books are a mere vanity publishing project and he's taking a huge loss just to put them out.

I have zero memory of that. Cridious evidently spent a ton of money on Mike's auctions too.

Nobody knows someone else's finances, and if they are spending their own money or inappropriately spending their backers money...nobody knew what his deal was.

And yet you felt perfectly confident talking up and endorsing his project back then, and feel equally confident coming on here calling him a thief now? How does that work when you don't know his finances?

Pretty easily. His project looked cool, so I recommended it. He never told me he had financial worries until now, when he's explained that he spent the backers money he raised on rent and various and sundry bills without producing a comic book.
