So I have no idea where to ask for this, but can anyone help me get some of the Iconic Comics stuff? I've tried looking around but Amazon only has Kamen America and the original Black Hops comic on Kindle, and not the crossover or Soulfinder. Unfortunately, I can't actually buy the comics physically because IC don't ship internationally. Any help is appreciated.

why don’t you get in contact with Tim Lim and set up some kind of deal where you can get the books from him?

That might work out, true. I'll see what I can do once I can spend the money.

The "Comicsgate Kings" show looks to be doing some good as, while serving mostly an oratorical boot camp for a bunch of comic book artists, at least seems to be serving the purpose of re-establishing a connection between the state of mainstream comics and Comicsgate. Railing on against da SJWs is hardly scintillating fare for myself, but if CG streamers are ceding the "disaffected with mainstream comics" audience to more generic reactionary outrage peddlers like the Friday Night Tights bunch and Yellowflash, what and where exactly does that leave Comicsgate? And I can't deny that the more normal content and behavior is getting people who otherwise avoided Frog's circle like Aaron Lopresti (who is certainly finding his voice as an armchair crank), Gabe Eltaeb and Mike Baron (who's inclusion has certainly earned a lot of favor with otherwise disaffected people). Finally, at the very least Frog isn't more interested watching the Poz Show then participating in Comicsgate Kings.

Besides, it's not like anything could go wrong by appealing to both moral conservatives and getting up to degen shit at the same time, right?

"NOOO I WANTED TO FIGHT THE DEGENERACY NOT JOIN IT. I GOT BLACKLISTED FROM DC COMICS FOR LIFE SO I COULD ALLY MYSELF WITH DRUNKEN PISS STREAMS? NOOOOO"

Big shout out to "darknessviking" at the end who managed to thread the needle of both moralfagging and demanding the uncensored crotch shot of the drunk woman be uploaded to Odysee.

Uh... has the uncensored version been downloaded anywhere? Asking for a friend.

Did I hear correctly on your stream yesterday that you haven't even really started Rainbow the Brute yet? It was supposed to ship to customers next month.

i might be the one of the biggest Frog simps on here but, stuff like this is making me not want to back anymore of his projects. The sales of Cyberfrog are going to reflect this sentiment.
 
Are there any other comicsgate youtubers who don't focus on superheroes exclusively? I like watching Narwhals streams and also Howtodrawcomics.net and Scott McCullough's writers fix problems, but that's about it. Also wtf is crackpack?

It's just a real bad look. During the controversy over his firing the only semi-plausible reason floated as the cause was that he was constantly missing deadlines and general laziness. It seems like the easiest thing to do to disprove those accusations would be to not miss your own deadlines or be lazy. Instead it's just more of the exact same BoomerCrew livestream a couple times a week with the occasional ivestream showing off the VIP treatment being enjoyed with front-row show seats. Obviously that's what the people who made the rich guy rich want to see, not the product they paid for.

I remember a time when Frog was banning people from his show for being this late and inconsiderate to their backers.

The next one will be even bigger and sell even better. Once you get the book in your hands, you'll understand why it took so long.

A Frog book late? Perish the thought.

Since shipping to Europe is so costly, his books are the only ones I backed as well as Disintegration Street vol 1 and 2. Narwhal is my *favourite artist even over frog, I hope that one day he gets into magazine/graphic design style compositing and gets even more experimental than he is.

*in CG

His style is not my cup of tea, but some people will love his style and others will hate it. For the exact same reasons.

I recently caught wind of this indie game called "Sable", and now I sort of think I understand what Narwhal is going for with his art style. Granted, he has a tremendous amount of refining to do. But I sort of get it.

Sable is clearly meant to mimic the art style of Moebius, although various elements have clearly been simplified and adapted to a world in motion.

Narwhal's main strength is his ability to capture motion, so I can see this same simplification process occurring in his work.
The end result looks more similar to Sable than Moebius, which isn't nessicarily a bad thing if that's what he's going for.

Honest, good-faith critique of Narwhal's art? Do you know what thread you're in? Get that shit out of here.
