But you're going to great lengths to try to be negative I don't get it.

Because he is a grifting nigger who has yet to prove that he can write a good comic book, yet is promising to move heaven and earth with his project. The ONLY thing about the Rippaverse that inspires faith is the fact that he allegedly has the first book already finished and ready to print, which by default puts him in the top 1% of CG projects. Aside from the art which admittedly looks technically pretty decent (if bland and uninspired), everything he’s shown looks to be mediocre at best.
I’m not saying it’s impossible for his book to be good, but I have yet to see anything that would actually interest anyone who isn’t a flaming culture war retard.

Better as in customers might not have to wait 3+ years for a book, but that's not an especially high bar. Beyond that, it seems just the same to me - politisperg on youtube sells youtube merch.
It may be that Young Eric pulls off a miracle and produces a book that's actually good, which would be a bigger feat than than a million dollars in presales, in my eyes. But $35 good is a different matter and there's, well:
Have you seen his videos?

Rippaverse reddit ban after ISOM launch and the Rippaverse reaction scene:
Didn't one of his trailers say "we don't care what race you are" or some crap like that. That kind of All Lives (Don't) Matter talk could get a reddit ban without the CG stink. But he is up front about rolling around in the stink as you can see on his own website what kind of people he talks to. Did I catch a low key / freudian diss on the quoted video though? "I don't like them...I mean they don't.."
This whole launch has reminded me of the brilliance of Mister Dongs masterpiece which lead to Rippa arguing in the comments section and joining the forum to continue the argument. This is the real preview of how he will face bad and mediocre reviews of his comic. I expect nothing less than direct confrontation and refutation of any complaints.
Despite Micah Curtis being called "Not Cultured" for his cut off sleeves he still joined in on the Rippaverse felatio train. If you truly understood the Rippaverse Micah you would buy shirts that were made to be sleeveless. Also in the thumbnail is that official ISOM artwork with the cross on the crotch?? This design is even worse than I imagined.
A review of ISOM I will be looking out for is from "ThatIndyComicsGuy", comics writer Arthur Bellfield. He has been making Rippaverse videos and slapfights with Rippa fans have already started in the comments. A little backstory: Bellfield debated Rippa on his channel back in 2020. In his latest video he asks the important question "Is the Rippaverse just dirty mackin'?"
Rippaverse Is A Success,But Why Does It has Haters?(In 4k) #4k #comics @YoungRippa59 #Rippaverse
On the flipside Rippa supporter Ya Boi "O" Mon 'O' Lith in his room full of thousands of dollars worth of Marvel/DC action figures decked out in Marvel/DC shwag says it's about damn time we get something other than Marvel/DC and Marvel/DC don't have the bawls to do what he doing.Finally if it wasn't clear that Rippaverse launch, predictions, reddit ban etc was the reaction video subject of the week my search brought up this livestream on an ENTIRE CHANNEL dedicated to Rippaverse, the RippaVerse News Reviews and Theories channel (not affiliated with YoungRippa59). From the channel description: This is my second channel a review , theory and news channel for all things RippaVerse. Videos every day and any time something new is released. Follow my Other channel as well The Darkish Timeline. and follow us on Twitch for gaming at thedarkishtimeline. RippaVerse is owned by Eric July.

COMICS MATTER W/YA BOI ZACK - 14/07/2022 - WE'RE GOING TO WIN HATEFUL SJWS WILL MAKE YOU INTO A MILLIONAIRE WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
Simple Zack has also weighed in on the r/eichstag burning and has concluded that one of rippa's fans getting banned off reddit is what has propelled this record breaking success and not the years of laying in the groundwork building a platform and investing hundreds of thousands into making sure a complete product is ready at launch. It was the guy getting banned off a subreddit.
Every time the SJWs cancel someone, Meyer notes, it results in the victim becoming an instant millionaire. It worked for him, it worked for Frog, it worked for Rippa, it worked for TUG (who I guess claimed he was "cancelled" from something?) and it worked for Vic Mignogna. Vic Mignogna became a millionaire? Zack admits he hasn't kept tabs on how Vic is doing, but he's pretty sure he must have become a millionaire thanks to Weeb Wars. The point is, being the victim of cancel culture is sort of like winning the lottery.
The video clocks in at 17 minutes and you might be curious why, the rest of it is Simple Zack arguing with equally sound logic that Brian Pulido's second and third campaigns didn't make as much as his first one then they had an upswing, therefore he will as well.

There are probably a bunch of adults buying it for their kids. People had manga and cosplayed all in my high school years. I snuck fucking Death Note into middle and high school for the lulz and to shove it in people’s faces.
Based on his videos, he kinda stands out since, aside from the rest of CG like Jeremy, who just bitches on screen about movies that he decided to go to theatres and see like the good consoomer is he, Eric bitches but also has a unique perspective in comics, like how he complained about Miles Morales’s What If… series, where he was one of the first to mention how desperate and unoriginal this character is and how he relies so much on Parker’s identity to the point where all of Parker’s powers, how he got those powers, his attitude, and his villains are now Morales’s. And when they do give Miles his own personality, it’s stereotypical, hood nigga mentality, social justice-filled nonsense.
Rips did call this out. Then everyone else, most notable CBR, ended up saying it too, obviously without the race part.

There are all kinds of manga geared towards a wide range of audiences. That's one reason it sells so much. There are manga series for kids, teens, boys, girls, college women, middle aged businessmen, you name it. The sheer range of content is ridiculous. It's not like here where 95% of an entire medium is dominated by a single genre and purchased mainly by adult men with lots of disposable income who've been reading some variation of the same shit since they were 12.

This is almost skewing off topic because apples and oranges, but... July used to be a musician didn't he? If so, did he ever write any lyrics?

Wow! I did not expect this project to take so well. This will reverberate nicely into the stagnant Scivergate.
- If the Ripperverse is merely mediocre, he has already surpassed the great majority of Sciververse offerings. If it's downright bad, he can't really be blamed due to his complete amateur/comic virgin status. Besides that he got paid a mil to make it. Short term prognosis is wall-to-wall winning.
- In the long term, Eric seems to have the right amount of ego to self destruct down the line, regardless of whether his comic is any good. The Farms always win.
- I see the urge to adopt or to reject July's new movement as nearly equal among the remaining CG elite. Already, Queen Ethan is offended at the lack of acknowledgement in his direction.
- A timely and competent delivery would be the biggest embarrassment to hit CG since since Ro V Thot.
- All this friendly competition may just provide the spark on that old oily rag sitting in Cecil's Shameless Shitshow Workshop.
Lots to look forward to here, folks.

He never came back here. You may have to superchat him or become a "Mack" on his paypig website to make such a request.

Ethan released a fully colored image from Cyborgfrog 2 and apparently nobody explained to Kyle how reflections work. The reflections in Cyborgfrog's shoulder and chest plate are the most mindboggling and distracting coloring choices I've ever seen in a comic.

for me, It was Heather’s face that was distracting. The eye placement feels a little off and the lips are a little too small compared to how they are usually drawn.

She got hypnotized by those odd reflections and had a stroke.

In a $4.99 funnybook I'd probably consider these unfair criticisms, but given what @FROG is charging, yeah, no problem holding an artist to a higher standard. Terrible that I judge things that way, but such is how I'm wired. To me, her right arm seems positioned weirdly, almost unnaturally.
Did he forget that two days ago he said he wasn't going to talk about YR? I'd probably get too annoyed listening to 17 minutes about breakfast burritos and lawn care to find out if he actually addresses this in the video, but this about face seems odd, even by YBZ standards.

That may be the case, but he promoted himself and got a million dollars worth of pre-orders, so good for him. It's up to him to follow through but hopefully he does. Anything that makes mainstream comics look (more) like shit can't be all bad.
Also, it's amazing how much young @FROG looks like my friend.

He got a million dollars but only 15k or so pre-orders. Not all the money was for the comic.

I'm only peripherally aware of what's going on, so sorry if I screwed up the info.
