EVS is a pretty good artist in my opinion,

He is an exceptionally good comic book artist but he is also a cautionary tale of what can happen when you don't have a proper tard-wrangler.

He had the opportunity of a lifetime. Leaving the industry at the perfect time of "protest woke comics", getting a huge following.
A huge following of people willing to open their wallets! (as his sales of whatever plastic toys shows).
But instead of working on his books and building it as a franchise he instead decides to become an internet persona.

What a waste of talent and opportunity.
This is what happens when you do not have a tard-wrangler to keep you focused on what is important and what is not.

Again Richard, Jawbreakers 4 only reached 60k and the newer products average around 30k ever since. Isom might be "underperforming" but look at your campaigns dude.

The problem is, just coz your good at something, doesn't mean your always good at it.

George R Romero was an amazing film maker, his original Dead trilogy will never grow old, and remake he did of his own first Dead film was just a brilliant improvement.

Fast forwards a few decades, Land of the Dead farts out.

All respect to the dude, but he didn't have the same touch as he used too

Can't listen to 12 minutes of retard ramble to get to the fucking point but seriously, what the fuck is Zack talking about?
I said it before I'll say it again, you don't have to love reviewtube, but Zack is so irritatingly autistic that you can see it from space.

What are they expecting from July, exactly? Some intellectually stimulating Hideo Kojima-esque story?

The aim of the Rippaverse, according to Rippa himself, was to address the issues plaguing the big two and the current general comic book market: archaic models of selling comics, multiverse bullshit, it not being engaging to children, woke shit, etc. Rippa’s work is mundane at best, but to act like that was the point is disingenuous. He even had those list of rules on his comic books. If you were expecting something 2XL, this is not the place.

And it’s not like Cyberfrog or Jawbreakers are any different. Both are just a hodgepodge of ideas from other existing sources of work. They themselves aren’t so original and well written that they can’t perceive the idea that what they produced is shit.

They desperately want his model to fail. Because Comicsgate is a failure.

Richard and Ethan didn't change the world of comics. They didn't get their little indie books in stores. They barely get them into their customers hands. They talk about Eric's dropoff of money but it's apples to oranges, and yes, there's a significant funding dropoff. But he still sells double. Comicsgate was supposed to be the opposite of the mainstream and every other campaign is them remaking the project as a "last chance".

They are too lazy and too unmotivated to make a website, Eric did, where you can order any of his books any time, and get them. Say what you want, it's been said to death, most of us get it now about Eric's stories. But acting like there's not years and years of shitty stories is just retarded. Don't like his stories don't buy it - but they go beyond it because he did what they couldn't do. It's why EVS stopped giving a shit about Smiller and the others who "wronged him" they didn't get the success Eric did. They weren't a threat.

These faggots don't want anything, other than for the uppity nigger to be below them, sadly, it's not happening anytime soon. They can wallow in whatever goalpost they want, they'll just move it anyway. They are failing, and they are seething about it - for fuck sake Richard is trying to get out of his own project he supposedly was so passionate about.
And even that is sitting at 263/646 ... 40% of people aren't even aware he put out this poll or give a shit enough to vote on it.

Van Sciver and Meyer are "idea Guys", yk the "Yo i have a great idea for an app type people" they cant do anything on their own because the "Idea" has already come to fruition. They spent so much time thinking about it that it might as well already be done.
so when the realise that in their head theyre done but in reality they have a bunch to do, they give up, "they did all this already, why do they have to do it again" thats why they cant do anything on their own.

moreover, nothings really new anymore anyway, even back in the day, big franchises like TMNT, The Boys Invincible, Jojos' bizarre adventure, Berserk (just naming some ones i personally like and have been lauded as original in the public eye.) Were all riffs on contemporary stories from before. theyre unique in their own ways but still fundamentally take from other works before them. July has a framework, that being early to mid 2000s marvel, the reason they feel like a rehash is the same reason Invincible feels like a strange mash of marvel and dc because thats what it is. Thats why Jawbreakers feels like G.I Joe and Cyber frog feels like... well idk ive never read CyberFrog.

He made quite a few B movie stinkers even in his prime years but if you're a fan those are fun too ( see : Martin and Knightriders). The last few official -of the Dead (Land/Diary/Survival) are way better than most of the kind of bootleg -of the Dead stuff that came out because of the original's copyright issues, and that was the point of the remake (which Tom Savini directed not Romero).

But I guess it works for Van Sciver (begrudgingly because I liked George)... his "great" work that might stay in print will be Green Lantern Rebirth which was 20 years ago now. But it's not really a decline in skill, it's like others said a lack of tard wrangling. He needed a writer, an editor, deadlines, oversight, to make what some (not me) say is a classic comic run.

does Miller even do anything now? i know he was an early adopter of crypto so he hopefully made a good amount of money off that, but the last indigogo campaign he did was like 3 years ago now.

I enjoy making fun of his low effort captain America knock-off and how he was kind of a spaz, but he wasn't a bad guy. I do feel a little bad for the artists who left steady work at real companies and ruined any chance at a mainstream by join CG in hopes of telling their own stories and not being scrutinized by insane faggots, only to have that ruined also because they didn't properly suck off some lisping queer obsessed with frogs.
 
EVS and Meyer, I think, engage and indulge in all of this internet drama as a distraction from all of their problems with, you know, the supposed comics they had made noises about producing.

And I think Meyer did an even more thorough job than EVS and some of these other Comicsgaters of taking the golden ticket he was practically handed, tearing it into little pieces and scattering them to the winds. It's amazing.

Smiller made a fortune with his NFT scams after being mocked by EVS for years over the crypto stuff. That's why he stopped talking about him.
