It's been a while since I've checked in and it looks like the antics have somehow gotten more convoluted than they already were. I can't really tell who is on whose side anymore.
I will attempt to give you an explanation but a lot of the facts still remain unclear.
From my point of view these current events were set in motion mid to late last year with Warcampaign leaving Comicsgate and Preston's Comicsgate™ faction imploding upon itself with various infighting and drama. Warcampaign's leaving was documented heavily at the time, so I won't repeat myself there but what largely flew under the radar was the disintegration of Preston's faction.
It mostly occurred during the time Preston was setting up a Comicsgate™ shared universe wiki and a competition to fund a comic book. At some point for various reasons several conflicts occurred between several of Preston's key allies/associates/friends which ended up with them all walking away. Preston's right hand man Zombienomicon dropped off the face of the earth, Mecha McCheese left for greener pastures with Mike S Miller's DnQ crew, VikkiVerse and DA Talks left to do their own show, the SWC brothers tired of Preston's attempts to cozy up to Warcampaign and abandoned him, The Comic Book Hut accused Preston of being a degenerate drug addict and completely disassociated himself while Jon Del Arroz left after Preston scolded his behavior.
Each of these key allies filled an essential role in Preston's faction and the loss of all of them in the space of several months severely damaged his channel's viewership, especially since the respective fans and audience members of each personality left with them.
With the loss of Warcampaign, Comicsgate has entered a phase of healing. We've seen both Jon Del Arroz and Nasser Rabadi rejoin the movement. VikkiVerse and DA Talks have a warming relationship with both Frog and several other Comicsgate personalities. There was even an attempt to bring Mike S Miller back into the fold, he refused, but still has appeared recently with Jon Malin and Frog on the JACK Show.
TLDR - with Warcampaign gone, the main criticism of Comicsgate has largely been addressed and rectified. Several of the critics of Comicsgate have now returned under a general amnesty agreement and the focus of Comicsgate has shifted from finding enemies within, to returning to fighting the enemy without (the SJW mainstream.)
But if his book is not being published by Preston, then I am confused as to why Preston would want to stick his nose in this.
It was being published and still is as far as I'm aware. I've been meaning to add this to the thread but I kept forgetting, Jon Lamont launched a Kickstarter for his weird comic and it was cancelled after several days.
It may have been cancelled since it technically broke the ToS of Kickstarter by having sexualized content of a character under the age of 18.
Though looking at these variant covers, the main character appears to be far younger than 17, images have been censored and will be spoilered below.
You can see the logo of Preston Poulters Comicsgate™ visible in the top right corner of each of the variant covers on the campaign.
I'm looking forward to a Judge and Jury being presented these images and archives and not thinking the exact same thing that DA Talks and almost everyone else did.
