#Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

You can't have it both ways. Either it's six-digits in sales, or it's still finding its audience. Unless you know something we don't about those sales...

Your reaction entertains me. At this point I just like seeing you spaz out and give me negative ratings. It's the early morning where I'm at, got nothing better to do.

By the way, how's that Great War of Separation going? You know, the comic book in which Texas secedes from the U.S.. I think the story was a waste of potential. A good writer could've gotten at least 4 good issues out of it, or one GN.

How about Goodying, the "superhero" who charges neighborhoods for his services? Tone-deaf, with no chance for development without A) changing the concept or B) changing the economy in-universe. Tell me how this is Libertarianism, and not simply greed.

So far it's BOTH you retard. You DON'T pay attention for shit, and the cope is pathetic. Come back when you have more believable narrative at this point, because this is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen anyone try to cope over.

Six digits in sales means it has an audience. The audience cares more about politics and supporting a cult of personality than storytelling and art.

Your avatar is ironic given how super mad this is making you.

Do you just repeat yourself, is that how you try to win arguments? You know nobody believes you when you say that right? Especially after 3 years of reviews that say what they like about both. If I were you I would not spread gossip and start accepting facts, because like I said this cope is pathetic.

• Reddit:
  • Kamala Khan: 500–1,000 narrative-focused posts annually across multiple subreddits, with deeper discussions in r/KamalaKhan and broader exposure in r/Marvel, r/marvelstudios, and r/xmen. Her MCU presence, comic history (2013–present), and cultural significance drive high engagement.
  • Rippaverse: 70–150 narrative-focused posts, mostly in r/Rippaverse, with limited reach elsewhere due to bans (e.g., r/comicbooks) and a smaller universe (2022–present). Political debates reduce narrative focus.
  • Winner: Kamala Khan, with 3–5 times more narrative discussion due to larger communities and mainstream appeal.
• X:
  • Kamala Khan: 600–1,000 narrative-focused posts annually, amplified by MCU tie-ins, creator posts, and fan art/cosplay. Her iconic moments and representation resonate widely.
  • Rippaverse: 200–500 narrative-focused posts, constrained by a niche audience and political framing. Engagement is high within its community but doesn’t match Kamala’s scale.
  • Winner: Kamala Khan, with 2–3 times more narrative discussion due to Marvel’s platform and broader cultural impact.

You look worse the more you try. But at this point you're so desperate to make it look bad you'll grasp it any straws you can get. I've seen enough to know it's doing just fine and I bet if you ask Grok it will tell you the same thing.

 

[Solomon Bundy]

You're right, you won the argument, people love to read Rippaverse comics, and talk about them all the time. You just convinced me. All that cosplaying and fan art and fan fiction and in-depth discussion and speculation on direction. It's so rich and varied. I wish I could've seen the light sooner. Godspeed!

NOTHING you come up with is going to make you look credible. The sad part is you don't even TRY to look up the information. It's pathetic, not to mention a waste of time for you to even say otherwise now.

Also I can use Grok too and it confirms that I'm right.

TLDR: Rippaverse sells, but doesn't stimulate conversation like other comics that sell in the same range. Because as I said, most people don't really care about Goodying the Polymath or Yaira. Maybe someday he can get license out The Great War of Separation to someone who Kubrick that story.

TLDR: "This comic that isn't supported by a 100 year old publisher, and a 100 year old multibillion dollar, multinational, multimedia company doesn't create as many thumblr threads as the one that is supported by a 100 year old publisher, and a 100 year old multibillion dollar, multinational, multimedia company."

Does it hurt being that brain damaged? What do the windows on the short bus taste like? Do you remember the fetal alcohol syndrome setting in? Or was it something the doctor had to explain super-duper slowly?

Oh wait, hold on let me translate that into your waste of DNA brainrot native tongue.

Rippaverse sells much better than any Kamala Khan comics, as she is a deeply unpopular engagement. The Rippaverse sales numbers should translate to engagement with the material. They aren't, because it's not about the stories, it's about politics.

I didn't read your post, I got second-hand embarrassment on first glance.

Wait... do you think I'm a ComicsGate fan? I think EVS & Co. are more embarrassing than your seething and raging.

So you're gay?
Well that makes sense.
If you can't read, you probably shouldn't be on a message board.
It's really sad that your tiny brain can't fathom per-capita.
I suspect I know why...

Can you NOT repeat that brain rot? Seriously not a chance anyone's going to believe you when you say that, that's COPE if anything.

I don't know WHERE he gets that narrative from, but if I were him I would keep it there. He needs to accept that people enjoy the stories, even if he doesn't want them to.

The only people in this thread who fret over Eric's sucess or failure are rabid EVS fans that haven't missed a single Trashcast in their life. Most people who aren't interested in his content, just scroll on by. It's actually pretty normal---unless he's someone that "betrayed" you or someone you care about. Then the alogging sets in. Again, the people who feel betrayed by Eric are (most of the time) rabid EVS fans that haven't missed a Trashcast in their life.
This thread is mostly populated by people who were burned by Comicsgate, Richard Meyer, Ethan Van Sciver, or Warcampaign. Mostly.

Thus when someone rolls up claiming to be "le random rippa hater", it's hardly believable.

At this point they are so EASY to spot with all the crap they repeat the narratives they say and the gossip they spread, that I'm surprised they think people wouldn't see through it by now. They can't even accept the answers they're given or even SHOWN, and I stand by when I say it's pathetic. Me I HATE EVS, especially now. If that guy is looking for a post to hate and lie about Eric, he chose the wrong area.

You didn't notice I started ripping on ComicsGate first, because there isn't even any product. Except those cheap little Hot Wheels cars, and several versions of the same CyberFrog book.

Actually, I'm hoping Dixon writes more Rippaverse, he's great at world-building. Given the work he did co-creating the Batman universe of the 90s (serving as the model for TAS and especially the Arkham games), I would've given him an entire region. Like James Gunn was given outer space in the MCU.

Baron's Goodying title was surprisingly bad (I've loved his retro work with Steve Rude in the past), but I'm hoping that was an anomaly.

Is Nolan working on Rippaverse too? I liked his Joe Frankenstein, but that sold so poorly it supposedly cost the publisher money.

And I apologize for being too abrasive and hostile in the beginning, which prompted your reactions. I didn't like what I read of Rippaverse, that's all. I understand given all the Comicsgaters and lying and gay ops in the past, that you'd be more quick to anger when dealing with a smug little fag like me. I should've taken that into consideration.

No one really cares if YOU don't like it, in fact THAT is where the egocentrism comes in. You REALLY Need to accept people enjoy it even if you don't. In fact more people at this point already KNOW the products are not terrible and that stupid narrative is been done to death. I don't know WHY people are adamant at TRYING To destroy the Rippaverses reputation, but if it was GOING to happen it would have already. You NEED to accept people disagree with you on it, Even if you don't want to.

In fact here's a good example of someone who DOESN'T agree with you.

God, I admire you.


So, Comicsgate. Dale Keown claims there's a Pitt omnibus on the way, and Mandy Summers is apparently involved. Which is weird, because I've yet to see her display anything besides her figure. Keown really proved lived down to the lazy, unreliable artist stereotype. He recently bragged about taking meetings with Hollywood executives, which is funny because I can't see them wanting Pitt - he's basically the Hulk, who is seen as the least commercially viable solo hero of the MCU.

>Can't turn the thread into Kiwis vs Rippaverse
>Pivots to "Hello fellow CG haters, how do you do?"

What's the end game here, pal?

I think he was TRYING to start a Rippaverse hate post, but realized it wasn't going to work so he went back to hating on Comicsgate instead. At least THAT'S what I got out of it.

Look you two @MisterCH 86 and @Olórin of Hype i'm not saying these people aren't faggots...

I'm a part of the LGBTQ+ community (I'm a Aesexual)....were THE FUCK is my representation in comics?
there was that one character in Secret Six (name escapes other than that- zilch

they literally are but nobody created an account years ago and made hundreds of posts about other shit just to mess with Rippaverse you absolute speds.

Egocentrists are what's wrong with the industry, nothing more.

There is plenty wrong with the industry but Ethan Van Sciver's main problem isn't the whole industry. Corporate greed for example has nothing to do with ego.

So, are all these niggas backing books that will never come out, and making fake accounts for the fake-libretarian so busy do gay nigga shit on the internet that they're missing actual good books that are out ?

and, you know what?......I actually know better, and no that most people involved in comicsgate, and backer supported books aren't even comic book fans

The all in on comicsgate or Rippaverse people have quit going to the comic shop all together. They have long ago been completely blackpilled that nothing good can be made and that anyone outside a small group is trying to harm them.

Tell me how this is Libertarianism, and not simply greed.

It's anarcho-capitalism it's different more exploitative... like imagine if if Amazon controlled the government and services. Ancaps (and maybe Libertarians) don't believe in taxes so I guess the theory is in their utopia instead of paying tax that goes to all sort of services and government you may or may not use, you only pay for what you use when you need it like pay for the fire dept when your house is on fire. Doesn't sound so appealing in practice.. oh you left your bank card inside the burning building can't help you!
