Ethan has consistently said that Canaan should do his own book for a long time. With his talent it's a $30-40k comic out of the gate. If he has no clue about fulfillment, pay ALLCAPS to do it. He'd still be ahead rather than just doing covers and other work here and there.I don't think Caanan switched teams, or declared allegiance or any of that. He already publicly announced he wasn't a part of CG sometime in March of this year if I Recall Correctly. There was a post about it here. Caanan is a guy who constantly needs work, and hasn't found his break yet. It wasn't long ago this guy was selling his originals on Miller's Friday Night Auctions for $100. Since the failure of Brand 2, and more recently Super Burger Man he's had a few interesting jobs.
He was on a book with Brett Booth, and Ryan Stegman for example. Two guys very comfy with the mainstream. Booth you may know from his twitter interactions with fans by redrawing stuff for people, as well as some excellent takes on Manga

And Ryan Stegman just finished a mostly well received run on Venom with Donny Cates.

Caanan might have been rubbing elbows with these guys who are very comfortable in the mainstream while working on "DeathShroud" A successfully funded Action Packed anti-hero adventure for fans of Spawn, Venom, or The Darkness

Booth and Stegman contributed Variant covers to this project. The usual SJW concern tweets should have followed a known CG'er working on this with those two artists, but perhaps because Caanan White is Black, or unknown it seems to have escaped most of the usual suspects notice.
Caanan also did a cover "Iron Skies" by Kris Rue. You might remember him around the same time as Micah being welcome on Frog's streams and during both Shinobi Sasquatch, Monster MD's class of Comicsgate.

I don't think Caanan gives a shit who's paying him. He did that Iron Skies cover for $500 if I remember correctly. Antonio Brice (The dumbest man in comics) was "acting" as Caanan's Art rep during this time and made it happen during a promotional livestream he did for Kris Rue. A guy who was talking about selling his car to make sure his book got funded.
Has anyone heard of Essessa?

Travel back to when...www.strangercomics.com
I never heard of this book before this post. We should find out if they are SJWs and Caancel Caanan for making money. (Sarcasm)
Caanan is one of the guys in the early days of comicsgate that brought a lot of credibility to CG. Incredible talents alongside the professionals who were joining. The future was so bright back then, even with Antonio Brice involved somehow. I don't know if there's someone in CG who will give Caanan the break he needs, but until then Im not going to give him any grief for the jobs he takes. It's not been easy for him obviously and sometimes good artists just don't get the success they're capable of.
I think Canaan is a quiet guy from what I remember, so maybe he doubts his ability to pull it off. He should just take a look at the barely functioning adults who somehow brought a book to fulfillment.
Even if he's not a great writer just swipe a fucking story from some old Sci-fi comic or something. To think this guy gets saddled with retards like Antonio and perverts like Preston makes me seriously bummed out. Nut up, bro, and put your pretty art on a comic with your name on it.
