It's fucking hilarious that July wants to build a fandom with gatekeepers even before he told what the comic is about.

Sounds kinda like he wants to build an army who defends him from critics & doesn't question him. Everyone who is critical gets dogpiled. He already recruted the first idiots who are so dumb they want to buy comics without even knowing anything just because the creator is a conservative, right leaning black man and he hates wokeness.

Also cringe

From what I've heard, Rippa hasn't even given an elevator pitch for what the damn thing is even about. Who's the main character? What's the story about? This stuff is kind of important. I guess he plans to sell the book on pure cult of personality...

Furries. It's about Furries.

Nobody in the target audience gives a shit what it's about. They'll buy it sight unseen and no matter how bad it turns out to be not a single CG name will criticize it.
 
The “Truth Justice” book does not appear to be the Rippaverse project, just a different project he’s promoting. If he said otherwise somewhere I didn’t see, yet his name appears to be nowhere listed on the project itself, which already has an IGG preview.

It's anti woke. That's all some numbskulls need to know to throw money at it.
The comic could just have picture of a turd on every page but it already has buyers.

Throw this fucker in Latin America, Africa or Eastern Europe and he will cry like a bitch. As with most Western libertarians, he is taking so many things for granted because they live in organized countries.

Somalia. What he wants sounded exactly like Somalia. Given, he looks like he'd make a solid warlord. The rest of us not so much.

It was discussed here a couple of months ago. Specifically whether Meyer could swing getting the license. I think the general consensus was that he could not. Even FROG. in the course of singing Meyer's praises, seemed to concede the point they wouldn't give it to a CGer.

While I don't doubt that Ya Boi Zack could knock out decent G.I. Joe stories, where character pronouns do not form a major plot point, anyone bidding for the franchise would need to be able to demonstrate a track record for getting books out on time. This is something that very few working under the broad umbrella of ComicsGate have been able to achieve. In fact most creators will actively buck against the idea that they should be beholden to deadlines, like a kid who's been told they have to clean their room if they want to watch The A-Team.

The vocational aspect of comic crowdfunding allows creators a certain amount of leeway in regard to lateness, wherein they can respond to enquiries regarding the whereabouts of a book, that was due out over a year ago, with a diagram depicting the orbit of Halley's Comet. A licence commits them to a schedule; it becomes more about what they can get done within a limited window of time, as opposed to what they would like to do. If you want to see what it looks like when that goes awry, then look no further than the Breitweiser's flailing attempts at keeping pace with Walmart.

In any case, Meyer owns his own IP - Jawbreakers - which is effectively G.I. Joe on half a tab of mid-strength acid. He would be far better off leaning into that, than reaching for the poison chalice that is Cobra Commander's groin armour.

If that frog stream from a few days back (timestamped to when EVS asks "so what do we know about it?") is any indication he a) has the book already at the printer b) didn't even release the name of the book yet. I watched a two videos about it, but he never said anything specific about except that it's 100 pages and it's an expanding universe with a coherent timeline with a single starter character. I don't even know what genre it is.
I might have missed something, so if there are any better informed Kiwis out there feel free to correct me.

I'm sticking with my theory

If you are wondering why the hell YBZ hasn't uploaded a video in a while, he got a community strike because SJW Erik Larsen draw a comicbook too spicy for youtube and YBZ did a review of it.

He says that in a boring video about a Vita Ayola Star Wars comic that he is too bored to even rip apart.

However, the big news in said video was that he was uploading videos on his other channel

Where he reviews episodes from the Sex and the City Sequel

It's been awhile since we talked about the Molt Lickka guy, so I decided to watch his latest video and tell him my honest opinion. There's a good chance the post will get erased so I'll post it here. CG's newest sacred lolcow gets roasted.

I was only recapping his CG-related vids. Everyone already knows the earth is flat so no point stating the obvious.

Manga is sold in Barnes and Noble and is starting to make its way to big retailers like Walmart and Target. Comics are sold in tiny nerd stores that most people don’t even know exist. This, more than anything, is why comic sales are in the gutter.

I have watched the graphic novel section in B&N shrink steadily over the past 10 years. It now takes up about 1/6th the amount of space it once did. Manga is the reverse, growing and eclipsing comics until it got an entire aisle to itself. Nerd/scifi/fantasy books had a slight decline in size, with video game related stuff creeping into its shelf space.
Doctor Placebo said:
That the biggest example of "complicated" continuity in a manga series so far on this thread is Dragonball, which still starts at volume 1 and has maybe ONE branching choice of which sequel series to pick up after the original run (but not actually, because as people have said, GT doesn't have a manga adaptation), is just proving my point.

Meanwhile, Marvel and DC became obsessed with huge crossover events that span dozens of issues of half a dozen different series. "The main arc of the Onslaught storyline is 5 issues in X-Men, starting with issue 285, but you also need to read New Mutants 120 because it has a key plot point that comes back in X-Men 287. But to prep for the arc, you ALSO need to read Avengers 321-323 because some of the plot threads from that come back in the Onslaught arc. And if you really want the full experience you should also read Howard the Duck 87 because it wraps up some threads. So yeah, just look for all of those at your local comic shop, or see if they're on Ebay. There was a graphic novel with all of them except Howard the Duck, but it's out of print. Good luck!"

That's not even an exaggeration. This sort of thing started way back in the 90's as a way to milk the maximum amount of money out of the core comic book uber-nerd audience. It worked for a while, but it's kryptonite (pun intended) to new readers who aren't uber-geeks.

A few years ago, I decided to try reading the emotional spectrum Green Lantern story. (Around this time the prices were tanking) I eventually gave up, I got about 10 graphic novels in and I couldn't follow the story or figure out what to buy next. There were repeated parts where they put the same issues in different books, but the was no ending in either. What a mess. Unreadable. I'll never read a DC corporate clusterfuck "event" again LMAO. The art was nice though.

He sounds like a perfect fit for ComicsGate(TM)! But if he really wants to rise to the top in CG he has to not release the book and post about how much money he made when people complain about getting scammed! Again! Lib status: owned!

Spoiler: It may have something to do with Eric July's choice in co-writer for the Rippaverse
[THIS POST WAS SILENCED BY THE RIPPARIDERS]


 
I love the irony. Young Rippa is working hand in hand with none other than Preston Poulter himself! LOL!! Surely he had to know Peggy Sue's history with CG, especially the lolsuit against it's leader. Why would he take the chance on having a known enemy of Comicsgate be a huge part of this new Rippaverse and potentially alienate a large base of consoomers? It seems like a bad business move. That's not to say he can't make a lot of cash without a single CG dollar, but it seems like an unnecessary risk to bring Peggy on board. But the reality is CG probably won't give a shit even though Preston threatened their movement far more than any SJW's ever did. Rippa's trying to deny it too even though he is on camera saying so.

Will tell you the same thing I told your goofy ass on YT
Such a bizarre thing to grab videos from 3 or 4 years and then attempt to try to latch it to the current. Yes, I met Preston long ago. Yes, because he put books out he said he'd assist in anything whenever I was ready to give it my own shot. His help was never required nor did anything happen out of that. But once I found out he was on some other weird shit (along with the insane amount of growth we've had), there was especially nothing he could do for me. He has nothing to do with my company and I haven't spoke to the dude since 2019. The fact that you didn't even bother to ask me about it, despite me being so easily accessible, is odd.

No wonder he tried to keep it as vague as possible. Now I am actually excited for what the future holds, but probably for all the wrong reasons.

Preston is not a cowriter for the Rippaverse

I am not working hand in hand with Preston. If you'd done surface level research of what's stated instead of just taking his word on it this wasn't a case of me taking a chance on "a known enemy of Comicsgate." He has nothing to do with the Rippaverse and the video this guy grabbed the footage from was in 2019 and BEFORE him being a "known enemy of Comicsgate. He has nothing to do with this company
