She is credited with the current direction of Marvel as a 'lifestyle brand' and the massive amounts of exceptionalism on their youtube channel as well admitting to bringing out Stan Lee in a video statement to shield the milkshake girls from criticism for how they're handling things, all the while he was being absused by his caretakers and they didn't do shit about it once his role was over.

I think that was the worst part of all: trotting out a legend like Stan, "Weekend at Bernie's" -ing him, then rolling him back into the arms of his abusers without a second thought.

They didn't give a shit about his welfare until he could be used as a useful mouthpiece, and then forgotten about again once his usefulness was over. It wouldn't have fucking killed them to have someone at Marvel that he knew and trusted to do a welfare check on him on a regular basis.
 
Zack says he gave Ethan all the time he needs for the cover and that Ethan isn't holding up anything.

I appreciate Zack’s faith, but thus far “all the time he needs” might be giving EVS a little too much slack. I think it’s a bit unwise.

While @FROG worked for DC he can let me know if my understanding is off base

Marvel Studios is/was Independent of Marvel Entertainment [Which was/is its parent company]

As CCO of Marvel Entertainment Kevin will be streamlining the Marvel Animation, TV, and Movies to one set of palates. [IIRC Video games are in his technical mandate as well]. He will be directly reporting to Marvel and Disney about the creative agenda

Joey Q took a big L and got demoted. He still reports to Marvel Management about creative for Publishing and Marvel Management handles other licensing separately

Joey Q, CC, and a lot of the other tumors in the management of Marvel Publishing all have a ticking clock. Once Kevin streamlines the creative for the other divisions [and has it all making top money]....Why have a Direct report and a half for publishing when they could report to kevin. So like 2-3 years [maybe 4]. As that clock ticks down Kevin may put some of his people into Publishing management.

So in 5ish years we could see the end of Woke Marvel under the rulership of Kevin Feige as he unites the infinity stones of Marvel divisions

Or it gets worse. Remember that the Captain Marvel movie happened under Fiege's watch.

And that happened [In part] because Feige is moving some of the cancer into the movie division to be producers with little [to no] actual authority

Hopefully putting this in the right place. Doing this for a friend. Also kind of laughing now because since the posting of this video, @FROG is now live streaming about it. I think someone got butt hurt. LOL

You mean a book thats done 4 campaigns [thus having more copies in the market] is worth less then books that did 1 or 2 [Less in the market]

I am shocked at how Supply and Demand works

Not only that, but Ethan is currently selling the line art variants for $25 ($10 less than the original three campaigns) and has promised to sell whatever's left over once all four campaigns have been fulfilled.

So yeah, why would someone buy Cyberfrog off ebay when the damn comic is still in print?

What other campaigns do [I cant attest if it has worked for others] They sell the book when they sell the next part of the series and do it as a upsell.

An upsell thats nearly pure profit for you
 

He's had his hands in Marvel for a long time. Maybe you're confusing his gay last name with Paul Feig, the soyboy who directed the genderswapped Ghostbusters 2016?

I checked the original campaign. The current lineart campaign and original both sold for 25$ with the price rising to 35$ once shipping was added.
 

No, we like Joe Quesada's demotion.

Just barely! Pocket Pussy's video inspired me to look into eBay sales of ComicsGate books on the secondary market, and it's true that CYBERFROG is selling for the least of BIGFOOT BILL, GRAVEYARD SHIFT and JAWBREAKERS, but just by pennies.

Our $25 comics are selling for about $60 easily on eBay.

But yeah, the books with smaller print runs are selling for slightly more.

For all we know, he recorded this a month ago and uploaded it only this week. @FROG can correct us if we're wrong.

That's right.

The line art variants are the same amount as the first two campaigns. They've all been $25 plus $10 shipping.

Why would someone buy it off eBay? To get it the next day, maybe. A one-to-one sales transaction is much quicker than fulfillment of 18,000 comics.

Also @FROG

Yeah, I'm thinking about that. Here are the three options I'm considering for CYBERFROG 2:

1. Upsell remainder of BLOODHONEY chromium

2. Create the Line Art Interiors oversized edition of BLOODHONEY as a separate perk

3. Offer BLOODHONEY and CYBERFROG 2 as a combined trade paperback option, like Robert Kirkman would do for WALKING DEAD.

The problem is finding the most exciting (for customers) and profitable (for me) way of getting newcomers the first book. I haven't decided what I'll do yet.

I checked the original campaign. The current lineart campaign and original both sold for 25$ with the price rising to 35$ once shipping was added.

Correct.

Yeah but if you figure 25 for the original cost of the book 10 for SH (I don't remember what your shipping and handling was i think it was 10), another 10 for them to ship it from point a to point b (the new buyer) thats a 1/11th profit margin. or 5 dollars.

also was I right about Joe and the Editors who don't edit being on a clock for Feige to streamline Marvel Entertainment creative under one vision @FROG ? ((in your opinion who has lived in those ecosystems))

The eBay seller will add his own shipping costs to the auction. So that will be negligible.

Also, I'm more interested in seeing what people are willing to PAY for ComicsGate books. Less interested in what the reseller might earn, but that's cool too.

Joe Q's ultimate fate is up in the air. We saw WB take a hatchet to Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns last year, and Disney took out Axel Alonso pretty quickly, so I wouldn't be surprised about any outcome at this point.
