Today was a quiet day in Comicsgate, relatively speaking.
Some anonymous person has been mass flagging Smiller's political channel into the earth., the only way he has to communicate with his magapede copium addicts is through his channel thumbnail.

Since my initial
KiwiJumpstart post two weeks ago, there have been a few changes:
-
Sovereign Wolf, the previous active project leader (outside YBZ and Frog) by Eddie Winkler has entered InDemand status
- Asyl has closed as Nasser Rabadi looks to fulfill quickly
-
1stMan creator Andy Smith has been a regular on the Frog promotion tour with performances I would describe as "okay", better than Adam Post but worse than Shane Davis.
-
X-Farce #1 has had a few more high-tier backers that have given it a boost.
- The Abductables 2 by Michael Derrick and Ibai Canales does not look like it's going to hit its funding goal:

Two of CG's post-Rome pro recruits, Graham Nolan and Kenneth Rocafort, have launched campaigns this week -
Alien Alamo and
Groken respectively. Nolan's second project
Alien Alamo is having a solid start with 447 backers and $27.4K with the help of a dedicated launch stream from Frog, rocketing to the top of the active campaigns. By contrast Rocafort (who's own platform only averages double digit views per video) managed to gather $20K on launch but with less than half of Nolan's backers, a much more top heavy campaign consisting of sold out max tier backers and collectors with deep pockets; it looks like it will struggle to grow much further than it already has without help.
Trailing these two is
Thomas Valiant by RJ Shaw of
Fourth Age (a comics review channel that gets the same views as Ya Boi Zack on comics despite 1/10th the subscribers) is shaping up to be the dark horse of the current crop of Comicsgate projects, offering 72 pages (more than both Nolan and Rocafort) of what's described as traditionalist superhero fare, gathering ~$12000 despite possibly the worst trailer I've ever seen.
The generically named
Thrilling Comics Issue #1 project by David Furr launched today with 15 backers and $530 in funding. This would not be too interesting (lots of people launch comic projects with zero plan) if the project wasn't a compilation with industry legend
Chuck Dixon and
@Smug Freiza doxing victim
Clint Stoker each writing a third of the comic themselves.
