#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

[damian]

Everything about this image just screams "middle-aged woman having a mid-life crisis and desperately trying to break into a 'hip' industry in an effrot to stay relevant." It's so pathetically tryhard.

Though if Cain intends to write a series for indie she's probably going to find herself SOL since last I checked Image doesn't really promote/advertise for new series the way the Big 2 do, which might be especially hilarious since Cain in the past has proven herself the type of person who wants instant praise and throws a huge fit when she doesn't get it.

Outside of her infamously cringey Mockingbird stuff i know next to nothing about her. I guess I'm gonna have check her Kiwi Thread (no way she doesn't have one). You cant read those tweets and facebook post without feeling that immense amount of narcissism.
EDIT: She doesn't have one, Kiwi I'm:

Watching him try to tear the comic apart like a monkey with his feet was pretty amusing.

The only thing I see apart from Infidel that screams SJW is that Moonstruck comic. Every other comic is either eldritch horror or insanity like Ice Cream Man. They've contracted an infection but it looks like their immune system is stronger than Marvel's at least. Word on the street is Kickass got an SJW makeover but I've yet to look it over to confirm.

Yep, Kickass is now about a black single mum army vet.

Also as far as indie publishers who haven't been tainted by wokeness, you can't go past avatar press. Everything they put out is creator owned, so it depends on who is behind a series, but there's over a hundred issues of crossed, which if you are unfamiliar, is about a zombie type virus that infects humanity and makes them do the most fucked up things they can think of. Like stabbing someone and then raping the knife wound fucked up. It was originally written by garth ennis, so no surprise there, but there's no way a woke publisher would put it out, same goes for series like providence or uber or God is dead.

If you wanna try some new comics I suggest looking into european classics, like Dylan Dog, Spirou and Corto Maltese, which still hold up super well. I've noticed D&C has this idea bande-dessinee being just weirdo stuff with thin lines, but it's not really the case.

I don't know the others, but Corto Maltese is absolutely amazing and just fucking gorgeous and anyone who likes comics should try to get their hands on some of it if they can. I remember hearing there was going to be some republishing by image or idw or one of them a few years ago too, so it actually might not be too difficult to do in the states.

I'm guessing you didn't read the arcs Max Bemis wrote. Which was about, funnily enough, sexist comic book fans. How appropriate.

Still, even if you're not counting those, Crossed is still shit.

Since the these amateur hour troll accounts are getting some attention now, might as well talk about them. I suspect they're the same person btw.

CmxAndDiversity - Whose gimmick was to scavenge anything that had D&C or his fan's name on it that might be considered harassment. It failed hard and had to resort to using the Youtube comment section.

Spoiler: Page

MoveTheNeedie (with an uppercase 'i', not 'L') - Because their previous account never had any engagement from the people it would try and bait this account was spawned. When D&C created #MoveTheNeedle to promote the comics he and other Youtubers recommend, this account would basically tries to paint that as a negative.

Im not 100% sure if these last 2 accounts are connected or not but they also try hard to troll D&C and CG:

DiversityAndHambu1 - Makes Hamburger related strawmen about SJW's destroying industries.

RoastingRCM - Short lived account that tried to blackmail D&C with a supposed recorded version of the Dark Roast, an invite exclusive livestream that D&C made months ago. Its gone from twitter, but searching through the archives i found it:

This person clearly wants attention and little else.

edit: That hamburger one is surreal and I'm not sure who they're parodying.

Dylan Dog is a phenomenal successor to classic pulp horror. Unfortunately my anthology was stolen.

Bleeding Cool should officially rebrand themselves as a comedy site.

Hey @neural and @RockVolnutt I found some screenshots and an archive in my phone that you guys might like:

I actually buy my comics, so I've only read the original Garth Ennis arc and the Alan Moore arc. But I did see that touted as 'a brilliant takedown of comic book fans' in a Facebook group I'm part of, and the regressives in the group practically tore the guy who mentioned it apart.

I have some other stuff, it might be repeats of stuff you already have. The screenshots from archives are still live (i don't have the links tho):

"Blueberry" by Jean "Mœbius" Giraud is also awesome.

It's doubtful that "Gadd Ramone"/Martin isn't still around to some extent. Not that I think he matters enough to bring up anymore or any finger pointing should happen. They blur into the background because they delete everything and make a replacement account/identity as soon as people interact with it in any way. All you're left with is dumb tweets that'll disappear after 2-3 days by people who don't exist that will make anyone agreeing or disagreeing look crazy for talking about it.

It's like a guy using multiple prepaid phones and voice changers to constantly call a news organization to tell the same made-up story at some place that doesn't exist. Sure, you're getting a lot of individual calls but they're all one-offs and you seemingly can't call any of these people back.

Nick, Andrew, and Josh make the trinty of militant butthurt anti-CGers. I will have more on Josh and Andrew soon, I'm currently busy with some other stuff:

Spoiler: Twitter Profiles

Josh Epstein, the only journalist that makes the BleedingCunts look like Pulitzer winning Journalists.

From covering a certain person's sudden hatred for DiversityAndComics to publishing "Melissa Morgue" 's propaganda piece and showing off his detective skills, he can do it all:

Even after it was revealed MM was actually some married guy with kids that was lying the whole time, he didn't take both MM articles from his website:
Website (Archive) <- That archive is from December, and cant be archived anymore even though the link is still alive. I suspect Josh disabled whatever it is that archive.is needs for archiving. WaybackMachine still works if you want a more updated version. (Wayback Archive)

Those articles are still shared around by people.

So I heard marvel is killing off Jane Foster and giving the hammer back to Odinson?

Crap sales on Thor or just the end of her storyline?
