Those were just warmups @Newman's Own, to prepare you for Roadwarrior Drake


Launched by "alazmat arts" (~650 subscribers) Roadwarrior Drake hems closely to the concept of Frog's Cyberfrog in that both characters are throwbacks from the 90s who are anthropomophic edgelord protagonists that beat up bad people. And as Cyberfrog: Rekt Planet has hit one million dollars in crowdfunding, the logic that some of that success could be bestowed on Roadwarrior Drake is hard to deny, if you remove the idea of craft or ability from the equation.


Welcome to Skullkill, a near dead city, on the other side of an apocalyptic overrun by The Street Warriors, a network of gangs with odd abilities, overseeing an enterprise of sales of a deadly new drug called Romerum, nicknamed Sparkplug, that turns its addicts into numb and mindless zombies.

The trailer opens "endorsements" from random cheap online prostitutes, like a nameless dumpy black woman in a cocktail dress and Nick Rekeita, that are captured with a smartphone because the creator does not know how to capture video feed any other way. It then progresses to an animated sequence that cannot be described, only experienced, set to a poem written by Rosetta Allen with guitars by Dark Gift Comics and vocals by some random girl gamer. Something of the production process of the comic is laid out, as inked work is torn out of a 4 x 6" sketchbook and then loaded onto a scanner.

I've been struggling for a term to describe this group of very special individuals but this has made me settle on the term "Cargo Cult Comicsgate".


They also had a launch stream, which deserves something of a writeup of its own as alazmat inexplicably invited Testefy-HD with "Soy Rage" in tow, who proceeded to immediately hijack the show and demand the host share insulting memes targerted towards Frog and Anna (which Alazmat accedes to) while screaming over everyone, taking the piss out of the trailer as it plays, attacking the fellow panelists, so on. Alazmat's one move is a low-grade SJW bait about how he's a "marginalized person" and anything against him should be taken as racist that he falls back on several hundred times, but Testefy only respond to this by agreeing with his assessment and doubling down by cracking jokes about how the host/project runner is a stupid mexican.

















A truly exceptional campaign launch.

Another #metoo allegation on this time someone MIGHT have ALLEGEDLY said FIFTEEN YEARS AGO the word "nigger".

The usual suspects are ready to cancel whoever it is based off of this allegation. One tweet to destroy a persons life based on the always trustworthy and never wrong word of a black person. We all know black people never lie or commit crimes. This 15 year old atrocity is clearly worth a public lynching of this white devil.

This is getting pathetic.
 

Adam Post is on stream with @FROG right now. Expect damage control.

EDIT:
Ethan sells the idea that giving him money is "defeating evil". But it's totally not a money grubbing cult.
🙄

Aw, it's definitely a cult, but "defeating evil" is a phrase we picked up from the Icarus and the Sun guy, who beat CYBERFROG BLOODHONEY and announced he'd "defeated the evil."

Now, everytime we reach some kind of landmark in funding, we call it "defeating the evil." It's just for fun.

Aw no. Not the Autistic and Dumb emojis again.

BTW, we roasted Adam Post alive last night for his book. There's no damage control. If people fuck up, I make fun of them, and then they end up here with you guys like Nasser did.

Don't get it twisted, Eric (:smug:), Nasser had DMs that showed your own hypocrisy and lies. He didn't end up here because you made fun of him, but that you're a bitchmade faggot who ended up here on your own to have this entire thread be over 1K all about how much of a faggot and failure you are that we're still sitting here making fun of you.

I love how De campi acts like she's got soooo many work options right now.
 
There's damage control. If people in my group fuck up, I defend them because they are convenient to me.
There we go, much closer to the reality of the situation.

And even without my edits, it's still a clear case on why I compare you with Carl Benjamin; he also loved trying to use what he thought were easy targets to hide his failings and shit behavior.

I didn't f*ck up in any way. How many times did I have outrageous printing errors or ship books in ziplocks? I delivered two quality products and still do.
 
Ethan's a cow but his group home tier followers are the biggest cows of all. He'll have them all wearing Nike's, pudding in hand and waiting for the mother ship by next year.

Don't forget to buy the exclusive limited edition holographic CYBERFROG purple shroud to complete the outfit! Only $99.99! BUY NOW!
 
What's the matter Ethan—does Little Froggie not have the hop it used to? Need another way to get your daily dose of dopamine?
Aw no. Not the Autistic and Dumb emojis again.
So it's okay for you give those ratings out, but not us? What happened that turned you into a compulsive hypocrite?

:smug: "There's no damage control, but we publicly humiliated and rebuked him in front of an audience in a permanently archived recording." :smug:
You're not fooling anyone here. This transparent shit might placate the gullible seals that enable you, but anyone with a brain can put two and two together.

Very brave and stunning of you to avoid responding to my first post

I guess I'd argue that the value comes from the story and art, the actual fun content of the comic book, rather than the squarebound spine.

But, I still make these comics shine! Absolutely beautiful presentation with all of my books, which is why I'm leading the way in crowdfunded comics!

If that was a legitimate way to approach comics prices Watchmen would be $5000 and Cyberfrog would be in a 10 cent book, but an alright colorist can only get you so far...
 

Damn - these clout chasers are so desperate, they're just tossing in names before they're even mentioned!

ProTip to reinoe: Bendis has black kids. Do more research beforehand. Points for aiming high, though.

It's not "getting" pathetic.

Pathetic was one lap out from pole position and the race is almost over.

And he'll keep coming back. His ego demands it.

I watched enough to see your "roast" Ethan. It was definitely damage control.

but "defeating evil" is a phrase we picked up from the Icarus and the Sun guy
Ethan you and I both understand the power of language and repetition, especially on small minds like Micah's, Dark Gift, Rosetta and/or the paypigs in your pen. They honestly believe that giving you money somehow "defeats evil" because you keep saying so. These window lickers aren't exactly Rhodes Scholars. They believed you when you said it wasn't SJW to cancel your own friends for perceived "homophobia". If you told them that SGM was a witch they'd join the moral panic on that too. "EVSCG fighting "SJWs" by kicking out Christian creators because they want to opt out of your LARPing Pride parade."

Your pigs are pathetic.

@Mister Dongs was right. He could adapt Post's trash fire comic to film with $500 dollars and put out a more customer friendly product than Post to boot. And there's nothing original about it. Post said it was original because no one has done zombies on a college campus. But if Post's statement were accurate it still wouldn't be true because changing the setting of a story based on an overdone concept doesn't make it original. It's like saying an alien invasion idea is original because this time it's set in Philly.

And Post's statement wasn't accurate.

1593623127041.png1593623223351.png1593623254835.png1593623422975.png

What passes for originality in your fan club/Heavens Gate is beyond retarded. I suppose you thought your alien invasion story line was original because the aliens are hive creatures. And I suppose you never read Ender's Game or saw Independence Day, Starship Troopers or a million knock offs of the idea.

If you had actually roasted Post he wouldn't still be talking about how he did this book right when it is so clearly a fuck up of epic proportions.

You sounded like you were begging when you "advised" Post not to do a six panel grift again. I did laugh out loud there I admit.

Does anyone outside your fucktard circle take you losers seriously? ComicsGate has been reduced to a couple of thousand of the dumbest comics fans on the planet, a couple thousand more similarly handi-capable Star Wars fans and a few "creators" who couldn't scrape together a concept approaching originality if their lives depended on it.

Keep up the good work @FROG . It is funny as Hell watching your sycophants circle the wagons to protect Post from legit criticism about his feces tier offering especially when it's WarCampaign (your last cult) rightly shitting on this trash fire comic from a guy who claims he's been publishing funny books since the 90's.

Not the Autistic and Dumb emojis again.
:optimistic:🐸🤷‍♂️

He has an adoptive black daughter.

I looked at the top talent in the major companies, y'know, the guys who are supposed to be selling comics.

Over at DC, there's Heather Antos' bitch, Scott Snyder.

In the last month he's

retweeted an access media tool taking swipes at Dean Cain

About Trump

Allot


That was a day of Scott Snyder's tweets. But it wasn't all crass politics from an account where he very prominently associates himself with DC properties. He did say, I shit you not, that being black is a good way to get hired.


This is DC's big talent ladies and gentlemen. But hey, it's not as if every book he's writing that isn't drawn by Greg Capullo sells like shit...right?

Al Ewing very prominently ties himself to Marvel, just like Snyder. I wonder what his feed looks like...

Retweets someone named 'abolish the police' and that capitalism is disgusting."

Brexit, which is British political something or another...

There is one mention of his overhyped Hulk run in the last week.


I was curious. Because comics youtube is acting like the old comics industry has died. It hasn't. It's becoming more Darwinian, with less spots for purse puppies. But the comic book industry that the actual readership rallied into comicsgate to protest against is still there doing the same shit. They aren't going to clean up, they aren't going away unless DC and Marvel's corporate owners shut down the entire comic division.
 
Adam Post is a scumbag retard. Even Jeff Hicks actually filled his shitty Star Wars fanzine pages with actual story and art, trash level as it may be. Mandy filled her book with primary school level art and CG bath water.

Post straight up refused to fill his pages with actual comics content. He says 6 panel pages are where it's at. He's laughing at Ethan's fans for buying his shit book and not having the stones to get pissed off while he fucks them over because he's still in Ethan's good graces.

ComicsGate is a bunch of pathetic low IQ simps waiting for Ethan to tell them what to feel, think or want.

Get your Ribbit Coins and your Vampirella cover now.

christ almighty! What is that? so much wasted paperspace. Was he going for some kind of weird koma style format in this book? I mean damn, he could’ve at least shown someone outside of his family the proof before he thought That releasing this shit would be a good idea...

It's like saying an alien invasion idea is original because this time it's set in Philly.
The entire reason for the popularity of zombie flick, starting with Night of the Living Dead, was the appeal of being able to make films without needing money, skilled actors or a good script; that's why countless zombie B-movies are made every year. This idea of Post's that people interested in making a zombie movie (literally anyone with a bag of weed, halloween makeup and a camcorder) are going to pay him a substantial sum to turn College of the Living Dead, the creative equivalent of a gray meatloaf made up of worn 1980s college and zombie movie cliches, is ridiculous, even if the sales pitch wasn't incompetently made at a glance.

Dan Fraga is sitting right next to Post and he's had over a decade of experience making storyboards for film and animation, but somehow I doubt he's stupid enough to try and give Black Flag a 6-panel storyboard treatment instead of the comic his backers paid him for.

Mostly this is frustrating because for a while I thought Post contributed some sort of industry knowledge that could benefit Comicsgate as a whole; nope, turns out 30 years of professional experience and randos like Ro Kabir and TUG are better at publishing than Adam Post.

This isn't news.

ComicsGate failed to change the mainstream industry as far back as 2017 but certainly by spring of 2018 it was obvious. Then the movement shifted to the idea of becoming "the change they wanted to see" with Meyer, FROG and a movement putting out their own books to outshine the big two.

With some noteable exceptions that has been a colossal failure. No one cares about CyberFraud other than the dwindling pack of paypig cultists that religiously tune in to EVS's bloviation hour. Everyone else is trying to survive on his table scraps.

Talented people who walked away or were pushed out of the fold have done alright for the most part but they won't be changing the world either.

The "culture war" against mainstream SJW's ruining comics failed utterly long ago. ComicsGate and ex-CG is now just a small strange corner in a dying industry. There won't be a renaissance when all the woke losers who've lost their Big Two and indy gigs move to KickStarter either. Some will do okay but most will fail and the ones who succeed won't make a big enough dent to revive comics either.

Maybe Ethan is on the right track. At least he's cashing in by squeezing his pigs for as much cash short term as possible before the popcorn fart that is what's left of the comics industry dissipates with the gentle breeze it's to fragile to endure.

Nobody is gonna "save comics" unless they figure out a way to get them in the hands of children cheaply and that's just not going to happen.

There is a value in consumer advocacy and taking note of the comic book establishment. I know it sounds like same song different verse. But all the YT personalities are doing what they did when Axel Alonso got his notice.

They aren't changing. You and I agree on that. The only difference is I'm at the burn it down point and there are no innocents left. Anyone inside comics proper that isn't cancelled by now was an enabler At most they are comical, tragic figures.

I'd argue that no one cares about EVS bloviation hour other than people too invested on Cyberfrog. CF has legs and a 48-page floppy every six months could make Ethan a lot of money.
But EVS content is so abyssmally bad that it is killing his sales. With his art skill, if he had more 10 minute videos that would reach another 50K normies who watch the larger FM channels he would barely need all those scams to hit $1M. But when EVS's channel is all about EVS's ego, only people invested in EVS will remain.

Also, since I lost a lot of the cancellation posts, it is funny that, in 2017, YBZ was saying that a lot of older pros are creeping on younger fans and Mags is used as a shield against criticism and he was called every name in the book.
In 2020, they are getting outed one after the other for these reasons and "pledge to do better". Preston Poulter being a sub makes much more sense in this context of submissive nice guys that were crying "But he doesn't respect you" about Chad Autist YBZ
