It's amazing to watch this race to the bottom. On one hand is Mark Brooks, who doesn't really draw fucking comics at all but bullshit covers. On the other is a clusterfuck of clowns who grift the fuck out of an increasingly narrow, small market of pay piggies.

Also lol at still quoting Richard Meyers as if anyone outside of your circle jerk even cares.

Mitch Breitweiser will be welcomed back into the fold shortly too. Just watch.

The writing is on the wall, especially in his latest stream.
I'm actually somewhat surprised as it seemed like Frog had almost fully embraced the "fuck Mitch" sentiment shared by most of CG, to the point where he supposedly included a group of survivors in Cyberfrog called the "Red Roster" who's job is to "go to Walmart".
But of course the moment Kelsey Shannon rears his furry head we all need to pretend to like Mitch again. Here's hoping he comes back and receives a full dose of the Nasser treatment.

Kelsey is blameless in this. He's just working to pay the bills, not pretending to be the leader of some righteous crusade against the SJW's in favor of real fans and customers.

Never said Kelsey was to blame, quite the contrary. If you look up my posts around the time this situation was being discussed you'll find I'm actually quite empathetic towards the sasquatch. The fact remains that everybody likes Kelsey, and as a result, any conversation that's even slightly critical of Mitch becomes virtually impossible when he's present. And since the only time anyone thinks of Mitch is when Kelsey is present, its a catch-22.
 
Ya Boi conducts a highly scientific YouTube poll of his subscribers to see how they feel about late books and is satisfied with the result:


Zack, you're not an amateur anymore. DC and Marvel, for all their faults, do not sell comic books that they can't actually provide to customers when they say they will. Heck, neither does Alterna or Iconic. You've been doing this for a living for a couple years. Maybe it's time to transition away from amateur methods of order fulfillment as well. It doesn't mean that you have to leave IGG, but it does mean that you don't set a date on a campaign that you aren't 99.8% certain you can meet, and if that means you need to have more of the book done before you click the button to bring the campaign live, then that's just what it takes.

I don't hate Zack as much as most here seemingly do but this video is just tone-deaf.

The comments on that video don't seem to match the poll results. I wanted to check the poll myself for current numbers but can't even find his twitter.

EDIT: Yes I am stupid, it's a Youtube poll. 3.4k votes now and the percentages are identical?

It takes a certain breed of man to be perfectly fine with late books. This is what they look like-

The survey sample could use some more randomness.

I think Zack's poll is a little leading too. It goes straight from 'shrug' to the fairly hardline 'unacceptable'. How many might have voted for 'I wish they weren't' or 'FFS forget this cancel cultured immortal bullshit and put the hammer down Meyers'?

anyone watching Doomcock is retarded.

Watching Doomcock right now: can confirm. *yawn* "Paul Feig looks like Liberace fucked a Batman villain" is kind of funny though.

In other news, is anyone in a thread full of comicsgate scrutinizers shocked that a political grifter has a pet audience who'll love anything he half-asses?

Since when is calling a liar a liar stabbing them in the back?

Gary didn't call him a liar. He didn't call him anything. He let one of his zeroes do it while he sat quietly because Gary thinks he's above being direct with people. Apparently, there was some miscommunication between Doomcuck and The Goat regarding what could be expected in the event that one of them got called out for being an insane lunatic who makes up pro wrestling storylines and passes them off as entertainment industry insider knowledge. This led to Doomcock having hurt feelings when his friend/partner didn't do much if anything to at least vouch for him on a personal level while his "professional" standing got openly trashed. Whatever else he is, he is apparently a real human bean with real feelings and those feelings got hurt when the drug-addict felon let him twist in the wind.

Gary is just balancing himself on the fence to protect the grift (at all costs). One doesn't have to look very far to see how damaging it is to the bottom line when your credibility is gone due to broken promises and failure to deliver.

I'd have to disagree with you on Alterna getting their books out "on time". I was subscribed to the year's subscription for 2020, which was supposed to be monthly comics. As Alterna encountered issues with printers, that "monthly" thing changed and there were only 3 or 4 months worth of comics released for the year. At this point Alterna has settled on a more manageable release schedule and seem to be keeping to this, though I don't know why they keep having problems with printers and changing to a different one for pretty much every scheduled release.

Tim Lim and Doug Ernst do not seem to be treating consumer advocate Meyer's strategical pivot from "next time I'm going to do it like Iconic Comics and have it in the can before I launch a campaign" to simply attempting to gaslight his audience with bad math into thinking they don't care that the comics they paid for are late" with the respect it deserves.

After posting a delightful DM of Gat Hanzo asking to return to Comicsgate only to get rejected earlier, Frog levelled accusations of insufficient loyalty to "ally" Richard C Meyer. He may have moved on from "that hill" years ago, but that's no reason for others to do so. Platonic love makes us do strange things...


Shane Davis had a 4 hour stream in response to Mark Brooks calling him a "whiny beta cuck" along with some trash talk directed at his wife with Richard Pace. This was mostly addressing some fairly old comic leftist narratives from a couple years ago like claiming the high grosses of CG crowdfund campaings were the same money being passed around between creators, that it was listening to ComicsBeat owner Heidi MacDonald in a DM group that got Davis leaning towards joining Comicsgate, how Kenneth Rocafort got mobbed in 2014 for a Teen Titans cover and never forgot it, reintroducing Richard Pace's brand of manlet shittiness to the CG audience. Frog showed up a couple of hours later to passively participate, only to find that Sketch Therapy was not banned on Shane's channel:

Zack literally sings their praises
Click to expand...

For reasons that escape me probably the same reason I still watch Doomcock *yawn*I watch all of Zack's vids. I'm fairly sure he mentioned Tim Lim or Doug Ernst favorably some time in the past couple of months, but I couldn't pinpoint where, let alone remember just how much he reaches around. It's like he keeps them at arms length just as much as the purer CGers. The most he mentions any comics that he isn't shitting on is "Knifehandblindspotrockanrollninjagrafficnovil".
If he's singing much, it's under his breath.
