I was referring to Nora’s Saga and Bass Reeves. The rest I think is hot garbage.

I suppose there's only so many times you can talk about Trashley cucking TUG on the Internet before it gets nauseating. Usually that happens after somebody sees that picture of Trashley for the first time.
Picture is relevant because it's how most people here imagine what Edwin's garage looks like.

Speaking of @Kelsey I wonder what our old chum is up to these days? He never pops in to talk to us or promote his stuff.
Poor Kelsey Shannon. Mitch probably told him to be a good bitch and not post on the evil fruit farm again.

Sure.
Preston never cited his sources, but I believe a Pangean found the marked up ebay comics.

Say no more. I now believe it even less.
Pangea believes Vikki murdered one of her ex-boyfriends, Stu/Soy Rage is a child molester, and EVS, Dean, Vikki, Preston, and Lamont are currently engaged in an elaborate PR stunt.
Sorry. You might have forgotten I was in that shithole for a while. The "we talk in voice" thing exists for a reason. They'll show a finished work, but are careful to omit the discussion surrounding it.

I've been following this gay shit with all those retards and EVS is definitely not in a gay op on this one.

That's cool, I don't really care if you believe photographic evidence or not.

maybe it was just that one Walmart. But I was looking online for the Red Rooster comic in the Walmart where I live and it happens to be one of the few items that is on discount if you hAve their card. Or whatever ”Save with W+” means. All the Allegiance comics have that.

None of them are. I have seen gay ops on the Internet in my time, but never one that involved a full blown Federal lawsuit. And yet, certain morons will believe anything.
I am concerned they did something to your municipal water supply beginning sometime last week, Mr. Dongs.
Incidentally, here is some irrefutable photographic evidence of Bigfoot:
Maybe it's fucking bullshit?
I mean, we went from a video from Preston, to a picture that came out of Pangea. What's next? Does Liam Grey wanna give his two cents? Maybe Berserk Guts?

Hello Captain Manning, I understand your willingness to consider evidence is founded wholly on the basis of if the person you heard the claim from is your internet fwen or not. We all remember when Testefy_HD almost convinced you VikkiVerse was a convicted murderer based on pure hearsay because he was your internet fwen on discord at the time. There is no need to further establish that, but I would urge you to consider the following: what was the motive behind going to the trouble of forging a Walmart sticker and placing it on a Mitch Breitweiser comic? How would this have been done, and why?
That Bigfoot photo is a actually a good example - it was given heavy scrutiny before it was dismissed as a forgery.

Then you don't understand much. My willingness to consider evidence is based largely on the quality of the evidence and/or the credibility of the person presenting it.
Would you agree with the premise that Testefy and Peggy have, shall we say, suboptimal credibility?
No, he didn't convince me she was a convicted murderer. He was trying to convince me he killed one of her exs based upon a oral description of tweet. A actual tweet that was grossly taken out of context by the knuckheads on Pangea.
But that's kinda the point now, isn't it? You shouldn't trust people you later find out to be liars. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. If I were to continue to believe anything Testefy says, at face value, I would be an even bigger idiot.
The yellow caution triangle is apt in ways Testefy probably never imagined. Here is Testefy talking about the picture in question, and attributing it to Pangea:
To make Breitweiser look bad. Or as a joke.
But... hear me out here: I'll meet you halfway.
Damaged merchandise.
Somebody made the suggestion to me just now, and I can see how that might be possible. You will note in your photograph the cover is bent.
Is it possible this picture is legit? Sure. Does the picture show something that is true, but requires additional context/explaination? Sure.
What I don't believe is that all of those books were discounted to $0.50. The available evidence is strongly against that.

The book section of every Wal-Mart I've ever been through looks like it was last visited by the Huns. . The stock at Ollie's is better maintained. For them to tag a book as damaged you'd probably need teeth marks on it or something. I can't imagine funny books fare any better.
Odd, because the "big box" stores (Wal-Mart/CostCo/Target at this point) actually sell more books than the combined total independent and regional bookstores

This discount sticker is for The Futurists #1, not Red Rooster. Some poor minimum wage shmo put the sticker on the wrong book.

Sure I would agree to that. Does that mean I have to entertain your notion that every clipped video and piece of extant evidence that happened to also be presented on Preston's show was forged or a "gayop" a year later and we have to re-evaluate years of data because you personally don't like Preston yet treat his old show as a primary information source? No.

To recap here, you have:
1. A Peggy video without sources.
2. A photograph of extremely dubious provenance, with little context behind it.
vs.
1. A more recent video by somebody who purchased these books at their $4.98 price.
2. Walmart's own online ordering system which still lists each book at $4.98.
I find the latter two more convincing. Perhaps you don't. I think we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this.
The funny thing is, I'm sure most of us here agree that this venture by Allegiance Arts probably didn't work out that well. Regardless of whether they ended up in the bargain bin for $0.50 or not. At this point, we're likely just arguing over how many angels can dance of the head of a pin.

To recap, I have:
1: Photographic evidence of a local Walmart liquidating Red Rooster stock
vs.
2: Walmart's webstore selling the comics at full sticker price, which in no way refutes or counters the claim that a local Walmart liquidated their stock of Red Rooster.
These two things form a dichotomy only in your mind.

I don't know why a photo of a Red Rooster comic, marked down to 50c, is being treated with the same scepticism as a sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.
It is a story as old as time itself, with many parallels to live action Disney adaptations of 19th century German fairy tales:
(1) Mitch crowd-funded Red Rooster - a graphic novel that was a homage to the Golden Age of comics and therefore most-likely to appeal to pre-existing comic book fans; in particular the kind of fan who was happy to lay down a largish sum of money in advance, on the promise that they would receive their book some time prior to the heat death of the universe.
(2) Mitch inexplicably mistook having a range of comics on the shelves of Walmart for prestige. He parlayed his backer support into a deal with the chain. In the afterglow, it is possible that he began casually researching the price of mega-yachts online.
(3) Glacial periods came and went. Mountain ranges erupted from the earth, then crumbed to dust. Oceans evaporated and became deserts. New species evolved, rose to prominence, then faded into extinction. Mr Metokur made a YouTube video. Mitch's comics began to appear in Walmart - a range of titles, featuring a cast of unknown characters, that were sold under the same roof as cheaper books with Spiderman or Batman on the cover. Meanwhile Red Rooster's actual audience was clustered around the comments section of the book's crowdfunding campaign, enquiring where the hell their comic was, why retail customers were getting it first and why these customers were paying less.
(4) A middle manager at Walmart picked up a copy of Red Rooster and said: "Hey, this art is great. We should get one of our in-house art critics to give us a valuation on it, and then adjust the cover price accordingly".
"I'll give Graham a call and ask him to come down this afternoon," said the middle manager's PA.
But then another manager said: "No, fuck Graham. These books aren't shifting. Let's slap a yellow 50c sticker on the cover and see if that moves things along."
And that's how Walmart shoppers with only 50c to their names were faced with a dilemma: Whether to purchase a copy of Red Rooster and then shoplift the half-dollar Rey action figure with Jedi action grip (whatever the fuck that is) or vice versa.

Dongs why are you giving him an autistic slap fight when he clearly wants one?
Price team at Walmart makes less than 10 bucks an hour and one of their only jobs is to mark shit down all day.
It's a shitty gay comic book that some poor retard at Walmart slapped a sale sticker on because they don't give a fuck.
If I worked at wal Mart I'd mark them down too just to cause mitch another headache. 2 seconds of price blasting will cause that loser hours of shit to deal with.
Again, we're talking about people that don't make much money or care about their jobs who have the power to fuck with breitweiser.

I have no fucking clue what you are talking about.
I never tried to convince ANYONE that Vikki was a convicted murderer.
I agree with Vikki that might of been a mislabeled clearance book. Yet, it is priced originally at 4.98 so who knows.
If you go through my twitter timeline @BHentertainCOM, some of the people from the shoe world have sent several pictures to me of the display with Redrooster priced at 4.98.
Why is this Red Rooster thing a big deal right now?
