Disney's going bankrupt tho.
If your company isn't going bankrupt that's how you know you are failing
But that has nothing to do with the Shittaverse. If this guy's mother had aborted him, the timeline of Disney's downfall would be untouched.
don't care, Disney's gonna get brapped on
Anon, please! Round here, we refer to it as the "Grifterverse"
>in Cinemaphile we do the Cinemaphilellectivist thing
>the Grifterverse shill cannot explain why the grift deserves money
>instead, it can only screech buzzwords at anyone who sees that their Uncle Tom Emperor has no clothes
Nothing deserves anything, people do what they want.
This guys made 5 million dollars so far with some off the most mediocre art and plot, what’s your excuse?
I'm too proud to make a comic without pushing a trans agenda.
>shills realise they can't defend Isom's bland shittiness, so they start whining about LGBT apropos of nothing
only reason it exists, deal with it
The only reason Isom is bland shit is because of gay people? What, was Eric busy getting railed behind the CSCD in Denton when he was meant to be writing an actual plot?
no, it's the only reason it exists at all
You don't have to be a chef to know if food tastes good, and I don't need to pander to gullible chumps like you to know that Isom was the dullest comic I've read in quite some time
Money: worshipped
Numbers: unverifiable
>scam
Still seething, is a grift, not a scam
Book is pretty funny because of how bad the writing is. I could see it getting legendary status like Tim Buckley with Loss. Basically such a fumble story wise that people mocking it becomes a common thing.
YouTube channel is the real product, the comic is just merch.
How do you not get a prefect grade if it's coming directly from the distributor?
isn't a 9.8 technically a perfect grade? Not sure how these things work.
not paying a gorillion dollars unless it's a perfect 10
christ, when did this board become a bunch of homosexuals shitting on everything?
it's a sign of the times
Around 2015, when /misc/ was created and Cinemaphile mods refused to keep the whiny brats in their containment board. Of course, now the whiny brats pretend that dull graphic novels where nothing happens will kill the biggest comic book companies, because they need to pretend that they're winning while they shit on our rug.

>Grifterverse thread about to die

This image is the definition of “What’s 2+2? Don’t say 4”
that presupposes that you adhere to a belief system that has actual consistency
“Isom is a boring 4/10 and its advertisers have nothing to say about the comic itself” is a consistent belief.
ah yes, you're a consoomer
Bitch, the only "consoomers" itt are the ones getting butthurt that Cinemaphile points out that Isom #1 was dull as dishwater
/co/pe the entirety of comics and animation hasn't produced a good show or comic in a decade
add isom to that pile too
it's funnier to pretend that it's good
now who's coping
Got to admit, these treads were way funnier back when the product was late.
>in a decade
This came out in 2014 and is one of the best graphic novels ever made, casual

Huh... took me longer than I thought it would to get my first line, but then when I got down to the end they started piling up!
We're not shitting on everything, just everything bad... or in the case of Isom, aggressively boring.
it's mostly people that are angry because the author is too right wing for Cinemaphile
>it's mostly Cinemaphile is annoyed by the shilling because the book is mid af

lol you don’t know what “excessive salt” actually looks like
When Furries had a meltdown over Gadget getting FLYED in the Chip and Dale movie, spamming the whole board with multiple threads? That’s real seethe
Hell even the Spiderverse movie got more seething here than Isom
You’re operating on a “Take what you can
get” basis
difference is that it was understandable at a certain level
>shitting on everything
Calling garbage by its name isnt "shitting on everything". Just shitting on garbage.
Kinda telling that this thread is going a lot more slowly than yesterday's shill thread, and the shills STILL can't find anything good to say about the comic itself, and are just whining about how persecuted their Uncle Tom is.
it's better than bad
Honestly, that's even worse - at least shit like Iron Sights and Jawbreakers can give us a few chuckles around Storytime of Pain weekend, but Isom didn't even have the common courtesy to do that
It's good.
Okay, WHY is it good?
everyone wants a log
Because the detractors are the only ones that actually bothered to read the damn thing. Notice how even on the rippaverse subreddit most of the glowing reviews were about stuff like "it came in a nice (cardboard) box!" or "I saw someone on twitter seething! (laughing at how low effort it was)"
In 2017, I fricked Eric July on the train tracks behind the CSCD in Denton. Man, his ass could grip. Real tight, super bushy (have you seen his shoulders??), and a sphincter you could only dream of. I had fun at first. But he was so weirdly macho about it. He kept saying things like "thats right b***h, am I gonna make you nut?" and "fricking gay I bet you can't wait to bust in my fat hairy man ass hahaha homosexual". I just ignored him and kept railing. He continued unironically calling me his b***h and a gay as he had several hands free prostate orgasms spilling seminal fluids onto the train tracks, getting more angry and dominant after each one. "Yea i bet you like dudes. You look like a pussy" he'd say "I cant even feel your limpdick b***h." I just kept clapping, wondering wtf is up with him. After about 20 minutes of railing Eric's boypussy, drenched in sweat and his cream, I finally got a nut off despite his constant berating and degrading comments. He immediately hopped off, laid flat on his back and bent his legs over his head so the cum dripped out of his butthole directly into his mouth. "The frick you looking at? You like this gay boy?" He kept saying. After he got every last drop. He cackled like a rooster and punched me in the face as hard as he could. He nearly broke his hand, but I was fine. "Fricking gay" he said as he limped off into the sunset, shaking his wrist. That was the first and last time I fricked Eric July on the train tracks behind the CSCD in Denton.
Imagine buying all that bullshit just for the sake of "owning the libs".
it's about showing others what kind of a person you are
>Grifterverse thread about to die
>shills start necrobumping
Marvel and DC can shamelessly pander to lefties for more than a decade, but independent artists can't pander to righties? Seems like Cinemaphile just doesn't want to admit Marvel and DC produce nothing but dogshit because of their politics.
This is definitely the kind of comic that right-wingers deserve.
That's a great snarky comment, buddy but ask yourself this. How does an artist improve? How does a character or series develop into something good? The answer is they work hard and continue to produce content. Imo people wanting to support small artist over mega corporations that hate the characters they own anyway, is definitely a good thing regardless if some people think of it as a grift.
>it's okay that this comic that was supposed to kill off DC and Marvel was boring and had bland art because... uhhhhh... it'll totally get better eventually! Anybody who doesn't fall for this obvious grift is a corporate bootlicker, because I say so!
I don't think this comic will kill anything. I simply support the idea of artists creating content without the help of corporations. Quality will always be subjective, but can't hate the guy for actually doing something most anons here dream of.
>It will totally get better eventually I swear!
Yes, it could get better but we'll have to see how it goes. Better than buying marvel or DC who definitely won't get better anytime soon.
Sure, maybe one day Eric July's writing skills will reach the dizzying heights of "adequate"
One Piece had a slow start too.
Oda let the readers know Monkey D Luffy's motivations four pages into the first chapter, and had shown what Luffy's powers were by page 19. Also, Oda was already proficient in setting a scene without boring his audience to tears when he was only 17. I get that you casuals don't know what you're talking about, but maybe next time don't be so obviously moronic?
Isom is punching the wall on the second cover, also One Piece was dogshit until Arlong Park.
>Isom is punching the wall on the second cover
>second cover
kek
it's only chapter 2
NTA but that's 90+ pages.
We already did this with Miles Morales. Bendis, king of decompression, establishes all of Miles' abilities in 30 pages. July hasn't bothered to do shit in 3 times that.
it takes time to warm up, it'll be worth it

>can't hate the guy for actually doing something most anons here dream of.
What, making a lot of money for doing substandard work, yet still getting praised for it?
3 million dollars for a big load of nothing is a scam by any standards, no matter how much copium you huff
The product exists, that was all that was promised.
>that was all that was promised
yes Isom #1 was the product
>Making a lot of money for sub standard work
As opposed to working at the big two and making nothing for bottom of the barrel shit? Yeah I think this guy has a better business model.
>Copium huff
I'm just pointing out that a large percentage of Cinemaphile is seething at an independent comic book finding an audience. Seems like potential artists and writers on here should be happy publishing outside the big 2 is feasible.
>the audience loves the book so much they gush about the packaging but not the content of the book
loving every laugh
in 2023 finding a recent comic without rainbow mafia propaganda is a victory in itself
>Proceeds to ignore almost every current comic in existence
>ignores that even Sonic comics has homosexualry in it
Better than gushing about the pronouns of the artist or characters. Hope this leads to more independently published stuff.
so tough, much difficult
Every time you morons make these threads, we try and drill it into your thick heads that there are other companies outside of The Big Two, but you whinge about how they're "pozzed" or some other buzzword, because you pretend that only your beloved Uncle Tom can save comics with his big talk and boring comic.
most of them are gay
You morons are fine with OP...
not the same thing
Anon what makes you think I don't already exclusively buy from those other companies? There's just no reason to not also support crowd funded stuff. No one thinks a single writer or artist is gonna save anything, but independent stuff making good money will lead to more creativity and freedom in comics.
this is what you call creative?
I can't call that single image anything, anon. It's a scene of two decently drawn characters standing in a room. We all understand you don't like the comic, but the industry for the most part is shit and agenda driven. Be happy it's possible for people to find their work without massive corpos.
>wasting money on an obvious and boring scam will make comics more creative somehow
just because it's right wing doesn't mean something is a scam
It being right wing is the only reason such a vague premise got funded. Eric showed no transparency during the crowdfunding campaign. Behind the scenes stuff? One stock photo of a warehouse. Interviews with the artist? Of course not. Look at the art process? Three textless pages. Add in the massive delays, after Eric had said that everything was ready to print and ship, and calling it a scam is being mild at best.
projects have delays in the real world, you know shit happens sabotage, business partners are late, floods, meteors or your neighbours dog is fricking barking up a storm making it impossible to concentrate on your work
If Eric had planned things out instead of beating his meat all over social media, then maybe some of the delays could've been handled correctly. Instead, he spent even more time making yet more fauxtrage videos for YouTube and spamming #wewillwin on Twitter instead of getting the damn book out. There's a reason us non-shills questioned whether the book even existed, given what a moron Eric was about the whole thing.
there's daily videos, those take time
That's kind of the point.
This shit sucks because the creator spends one day working on it and six days complaining about whatever Marvel is doing that week.
It's only wasting money to people who don't like the idea of crowd funded comics made without all the bullshit drama and politics that surround major publishers. Nothing is stopping left wing comic creators from getting major crowd finding for their projects.
I kind of find Isom funny with how bad the writing is. Reminds me a lot of CWC's attempts at comics. It's entertaining in the way Loss is.
I am not on the right though, I am an Independent who leans left.
>independent
>on Cinemaphilemrade
yeah sure
Maybe his writing is bad maybe it isn't. Point is he got a comic published on his own and Cinemaphile seethes about it because they like big corporate woke shit.
you can't even call it bad, just boring & mid
So about the same level as 90% of comics capeshit or otherwise? That just means this board is mad at the fact he made his vision happen.
so he'll fit right in storytime of pain material? oh wait...
nobody wants to read his trash lol
It still got made and he still made his money. I just wonder why Cinemaphile hates independently published comics.
that's soooo crazy! look at this storytime of a random euro indie book that's filled with shitpposting
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/137671064
There's no shitposting because that comic is the type of bland poorly drawn stuff that Cinemaphile likes. Anons on here hate specifically isom because he actively doesn't like woke politics.
Funny. I thought the entire point of the rippaverse was that it was apolitical. You shills need to keep your story straight.
Being apolitical is being against woke politics. The kind of political dribble modern writers put into comics regardless of context is unbearable, so why do you hate people who don't like that stuff making their own comics?
>it's okay that Isom is mediocre because SHUT UP IT JUST IS
I'm not defending his writing. Just pointing out I think it's interesting that nowadays you can independently publish a comic if you find an audience and that for some reason makes Cinemaphile seethe.
Does it though?
Cinemaphile makes comics.
Cinemaphile comics have even had successful crowdfunding campaigns.
It's possible that maybe the negative reaction is due to something else. You fricking tourist.
I know it's something else, anon. Cinemaphile is mad it doesn't cater to their politics.
Or maybe the book is just shit and you're spamming about it is annoying? Nah that can't be it.
This board spams more hate for it than anything. I don't care if he book is shit. It's just clear Cinemaphile hates anything that doesn't conform to leftists politics being a success.
>NO U! NO U!
Frick off back to your containment board, shill
he's not wrong tho
>shills necrobumping again
>Shill
>Containment board
You frick off, anon. Accept that Cinemaphile hates anyone who doesn't pander to leftist politics and get over this comics success.
>Can't find Libs to argue with to own
>Write a bunch of shill bullshit
>Whoever calls out my bullshit must be a Lib! Haha OWNED!
mainstream comics were taken over by left wing Twitter activist years ago and stifle all creativity with their politics. People came out to support someone who promised not to do that and Cinemaphile seethed about it. Simple as. Like it or not theirs an audience for non woke comics that the industry willingly passes up on.
You remind me of that one comicsgate guy that, when told Jack Kirby had a habit of punching Nazis, said he could beat Jack Kirby in a fight, because said comicsgate guy didn't know who Jack Kirby was.
>and stifle all creativity with their politics.
What's creative about a generic black guy with generic super strength?
A random guy who likes comics made it without the help of a major publisher. That's one thing that's cool. Haven't read the book. Just hate how Cinemaphile sucks corporate dick
>A random guy who likes comics made it without the help of a major publisher.
That's not the accomplishment you keep claiming it is. Anons on this very board have done it repeatedly and they didn't even need a bunch of homosexuals defending them to do it.
If they did then they didn't do it is as successfully as this guy, so the seethe is clearly based on him being anti woke.
>If they did then they didn't do it is as successfully as this guy,
They actually have verifiable numbers. This guy doesn't.
If you're not confident his numbers are legit than what's the point of seething? He's just offering comics along with commentary on the Industry. If people like you really didn't care about what he says and does you wouldn't be mad
I just like making you mad. Your butthurt over your buck is entertaining.
I'm not mad. I love talking about comics and comic adjacent things. Cinemaphile is just hilariously transparent in their corporate bootlicking
U-U-U-U-U MAD
Every
fricking
time
Never talk about the actual comic, oh dear me no! Let's just say every non-shill is "seething" so we don't have to admit we paid $50 for a shitty graphic novel!
>all caps
I can hear your hands are trembling.
That was never what we were discussing. This guy found an audience that the industry ignores and it makes you all mad.
>Hello, I am not a shill. I haven't read this shit, but I'll suck Eric's dick anyway.
>Have I mentioned that I'm not a shill?
And here we have the rippashill once again acting like there wasn't already a thriving indie scene with thousands of creators because those creators have the wrong politics so they don't count and only his chosen buck can put the industry on notice.
No one is denying the indie scene at all. This is just a different indie creator that generates seething here because the comic fandom legitimately can't handle people with opposing political views. This dude and his following are the result of stupid choices the industry insisted on making for years.
>abloobloobloopoliticalvoos
Yes please tell me how your generic black superhero isn't woke oh wait you didn't even read the book you're just defending it on principle.
Yes, you've certainly owned us with your ability to buy into trash simply because it jerks off your ideology. That doesn't make you special, it makes you an SJW.
>isn't woke
Woke is shorthand for sanctimonious and hypocritical preening, often done in the form of disparaging "whiteness" to exalt "non-whiteness". So, Isom isn't woke.
>sanctimonious and hypocritical preening,
This is literally all your pet Black does with his time.
Is that present in Isom? No? Then Isom isn't woke.
>Is that present in Isom?
Yes, actually. You'd know if you read the book.
Provide another example.
I'm trying to find it. The storytime linked in the thread doesn't seem to have it but one of the pages is literally just a self portrait of July and his mission statement copied from his website wherein he cries about politics for a full page.
>He thinks black protagonists are woke
Kek Cinemaphile is too much
>People came out to support someone who promised not to do that
Low standards.
If that's what woke shit has driven people to then comics fans really can't be angry. They insisted upon it.
The only "success" this comic has ever had was in conning dipshits like you out of your money
>The only success this comic has had was turning a profit
Any product in a capitalist society is a scam if it doesn't appeal to you. Anyone buying marvel or DC are being scammed too, but none of those writers or artists get paid well for their work. Seems like they're afraid of not being able to find an audience without writing established ips like this guy
>NO U NO U NO U MARVEL AND DC ARE THE ONLY OTHER OPTIONS BESIDES THIS CRAPPY MILQUETOAST SHIT
This would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.
Never said they were the only option. But there is demand for the kind of fiction they produce without the Twitter political commentary and they choose not to exploit that market. Simple as.
>there's a market for boring shit where nothing happens, as long as One Of The Good Ones makes it
The mantra of the comic book industry for at least fifteen years now kek.
>Never said they were the only option
Every Rippagay makes it seem like the only other choice between the BASED black Invincible is watching Lil Superman suck wiener. 100% of the shilling for this product revolves around "We gotta help this succeed, fellas! The future of all comics is at stake here!"
>The future of all comics is at stake here
Okay but it kind of is though. The industry isn't stable and makes artists and writers work for peanuts with horrible deadlines and agenda driven quotas. This guy and any other person left, right, or center should embrace a comic book future where audiences can fund the type of books they want. Rippa isn't close to the only independent creator, but the intense negative reaction Cinemaphile has to his success shows that proves his and other comicgate people's points. The industry created this political divide years ago, so independent creators are always the right side.
You have a pre-written list of talking points you're referring to and are just picking out the one you think works best for this argument.
Casualgate didn't invent the idea of "indie comics". There are hundreds of "non-political" books you could have picked over the course of this entire homosexualy crusade, books nearly every one of you guys seem completely oblivious to the existence of. At first it's "Nobody said it was the only option", now you're effectively acknowledging you think it more or less is. ~~*They*~~ turned on all the Conservatives, so now there's no choice BUT to fork over $50 to Based Rippa to teach them a lesson. Why? How the frick did you come to this conclusion? Even the now completely ruined Comixology storefront is filled to the brim with the shit you're claiming Comicsgate and Comicsgate alone can produce, and it looks better and costs far les.
The only justification for "The Revolt" is there is literally no other option; pick homosexual Marvel shit, or this 'Draw Your OWN Comics!' tier horseshit sold at an insane mark-up. Literally everyone on here realizes that's not the case, and you homosexuals are supposed to be these life-long fans of the medium and I'm baffled at how -aside from crippling autism- you think you're fooling anyone.
No shit we want people to "make the type of books they want"; the majority of us have been doing it for years while you homosexuals hock this sub-DeviantArt dreck and ask for $80,000 to do it.
Hey man. No. You're wrong.
Deviantart-dreck would at least have fappable girls in it.
>Okay but it kind of is though.
It isn't, if Marvel, Image, DC, etc. fails, independent creators will still be able to do their job.
>Rippa isn't close to the only independent creator, but the intense negative reaction Cinemaphile has to his success shows that proves his and other comicgate people's points.
The negative reaction is the constant shilling of a distinctly mediocre product and lauding it as a successful contribution to the medium. A lot of comic readers don't want dogwater to fill a medium already saturated with dogwater, especially when it's marketed otherwise, that's the root of the annoyance.
Just look at this thread, look at any thread surrounding the book outside of this site, not a single point of praise about the quality of the product, just that it sold well and that it came in a neat package. Lowering the standard helps nobody but the ones throwing trash onto the serving tray and pocketing the cash from it and continues to foster the idea that you can do the most low-effort trash and still succeed. Independent creators don't need a "champion" like him, there have always been plenty of far more talented, skilled, and competent creators out there, they just don't have his profile, network, or existing base to get the same notoriety, and most don't want to get hooked on a socio-political movement to do so.
I also like how Rippa's "success" is... Cinemaphile calls him a homosexual. Almost like he's not even trying to support his case that July's alleged income is genuine. These supposed millions of dollars aren't proving his success, being called a moron on Cinemaphile is? C'mon.
I don't think they need a champion like him at all. He just proves that many comic fans can't handle another audience being pandered too. Also if you're worried about this bok lowering standards than j don't what to do for you because the little I've seen is legitimately better drawn than some the professional art big companies push. If you don't like him being shilled that's fine but don't act like his audience or him don't have a point about the industry.
It’s not about the stupid culture war, it’s about artistic merit. It’s about someone selling comics not because people have an organic interest in the story or the character, but because he is a YouTube pundit. Isom is nothing more than an extension of his YouTube punditry anymore than a hat or a t shirt. You can’t claim a victory in an artistic medium if people didn’t buy your product on its own artistic merit
You absolutely can claim victory. He is making good money, making the comics he wants without the industry, while so called pros b***h online about fans and how restrictive the industry is. I understand not liking culture war drama, but the industry started that shit and you can't fault people for going to this guy when mega corporations have spent years telling fans to frick off for not liking their political pandering.
The the fix to corporate agenda driven comics is non creators shitting up the industry with even worse “non woke” comics and charging 3x as much for them?
Yes it is. Don't agree with the prices, but plenty of crowd funded stuff asks for ridiculous shit from it's donates. The point is that the more people making comics on their own without big corporations is good. Don't like it? Then make your own comic and have it get successfully crowdfunded to show him how's it done or shut the frick up.
Annual 50$ print comics mailed to you from Wish.com Glenn Beck isn’t a good model in a post Netflix/ShoJo app world dude
Never said it was. Independent marketing and funding is though. Hate the guy all you want, but he made a comic while anons here haven't.
>Hate the guy all you want, but he made a comic while anons here haven't.
Why are you under the impression that there are anons here that haven't already published their own comics, yet can still find Isom shit?
I'm under that impression because no one who has success making their comics shits on others like they do this one
>but he made a comic while anons here haven't.
Yes they have.
>I'm under that impression because no one who has success making their comics shits on others like they do this one
Yes they do.
>but plenty of crowd funded stuff asks for ridiculous shit from it's donates.
Name 3.
>He just proves that many comic fans can't handle another audience being pandered too.
No, it just means that he and his minions need to stop shilling his mediocre garbage here trying to gain traction and then getting asshurt when called out on it. If the product is sound, then people can cite its better qualities to convince others that it is, but here's the thing, nobody here has tried to do that, they can't even defend the product on its merits, because even its biggest supporters can't even find any.
Let me repeat that for emphasis, the product people are buying, the people dropping more than thirty fricking dollars for, they can't even cite what they're satisfied about it, yet they're trying to convince everybody else that they should be looking forward to it.
>Also if you're worried about this bok lowering standards than j don't what to do for you because the little I've seen is legitimately better drawn than some the professional art big companies push.
Then you obviously haven't seen enough, and you obviously haven't been around to realize that this board calls out artists for being shit and mediocre, even the good artists are called out when they've done substandard work.
>If you don't like him being shilled that's fine but don't act like his audience or him don't have a point about the industry.
What point are they even trying to make? Independent creators have been doing it for years, fricking decades, they aren't saying anything new to people who are familiar with the medium. We don't need an idiot on a bullhorn and his thronebearers telling us things that we've known about for a long time, and we sure as hell don't need them telling us what is good and what isn't, especially when they can't even do that for the product they're shilling.
>People shouldn't shill here
Kek then ignore them if the book is so shit
>You obviously haven't seen enough
You keep acting like I'm personally starved for comics when I read I die stuff I like just fine. I just have an objective view of the situation and don't see why big publishers can act like they're brave for putting out politically driven slop and tell fans to frick off, but this guy can't provide that audience a product they might like.
>Independent creators have doing it for years
Yeah and they've had varying degrees of success and drama attached to them like the rippa shit. But you are hear making an exception of him because you don't like his audience having an alternative to woke shit
There is already an alternative to the “woke shit”, moron: One of the other gazillion comics printed each month that cost 1/10 of the price of Isuck.
Thanks for repeating that so many times anon. But this thread is about Cinemaphile has a problem with independently published that doesn't conform to their politics. If people want to find this guy as an alternative than Cinemaphile can't be mad. But here we are and more people in this thread are seething at this book existence than anything else.
>Yeah but no one likes it though
Doesn't matter. An independent creator got something made. That's win.
People get independent comics made all of the time but you don’t care about those ones because they don’t lie to you about “taking on the mainstream” and make endless videos about Transgender Ninja Turtles and whatever culture war nonsense.
If we agree that other alternatives exist that are: cheaper, released more frequently and available on demand, what reason would anyone who isn’t in his fanbase ever have for buying Isom?
I definitely care. I just don't see why it's a big deal that this guy also does it other than the fact that he advertises as anti woke which triggers Cinemaphile for some reason
Selling your art incidentally to your punditry business and claiming it as an artistic accomplishment shits on the graves of the titans who built the medium even more than the globohomosexual shit in some of the corporate comics
These guys count that as a win because those titans were israeli.
>shits on the graves of the titans
Please don't try to get all high and mighty. You don't care.
>other than the fact that he advertises as anti woke
Because if his product was any good he wouldn't need that crutch, for starters.
Not a crutch it's a viable marketing tool. Big publishers do the same thing by using established ips to insert their shit writing into.
You're basically arguing that instead of a souless cash grab we should be happy there's a souless cash grab that charges three times as much, takes 12 times as long to come out, has even less likelihood or incentive to see improvement, and doesn't even come with the benefit of nostalgia
And we should so happy about it that we welcome a minimum of 3 threads a day shilling for it even though there's frick all to talk about.
Because make no mistake; this IS shills at work. Not saying you're necessarily a shill but OP sure as frick is. You can tell because the Rippaverse threads stopped once the campaign for the first issue ended and suddenly start up again, three concurrently, with the second campaign. If there were anything at all here worth it then those threads would've persisted in the interim.
I'm not telling you to do shit. Keep seething about this guy actually making his comic happen though.
>Less likely hood or incentive to improve
Completely subjective and based on you hating shilling you're free to ignore.
>Completely subjective
No really. What incentive is there to improve when your consumer base doesn't actually care about the quality of the product at all so long as it supports their ideology? We know he only works on the comic on Sundays by his own admission. If he can supposedly make millions just doing the bare minimum why try harder?
This is the same logic as to why Marvel sucks now, right? Why is he immune to it? Because you can just dismiss any questions as "seething"?
He likes comics and is passionate enough about them to get one made. You can get a sense of him wanting to make the best of it just by the fact he's doing when could ghost the internet after making the profit he already has. And the ideology they have is the type of stuff they want in comics. What is wrong with that? Don't you want creators you like to produce content with themes and stories you relate to? All crowd funding is a leap of faith but this guy delivered even if you aren't impressed with it
paying you to shout his name has to be out of the question, so does eric just frick your mouth any he wants
I'm not shouting his name. Just not dismissing him out right because he's a "grifter"
>And the ideology they have is the type of stuff they want in comics.
Except literally no one actually praises the content of the comic.
>Don't you want creators you like to produce content with themes and stories you relate to?
What does that have to do with this thread? Isom isn't it. And you'd know that if you actually read it.
It has to do with the fact that people want certain types of stories. It's the whole reason crowd funding is a thing.
Fans of it clearly don't congregate here outside of some shills. Go to where all his followers talk about his stuff and see what they say they like about it.
>Go to where all his followers talk about his stuff and see what they say they like about it.
Except I already did. Rippaverse's dedicated subreddit is pretty much just these threads again. A bunch of people praising the box it came in and talking about what Marvel is doing and how people are "seething" but nobody really seems to care about the content of the book they paid out the nose for. A whole lot of TRUST THE PLAN bullshit but no legitimate praise for anything regarding story or art because it's mid at absolute best.
Checked the sub out. People were discussing the covers, speculating about the lore, and in general enjoying the art of the project. Seems harmless to me.
I legitimately thought mods started banning Rippaverse threads because of how they all just disappeared one day.
>Not saying you're necessarily a shill but OP sure as frick is.
Judging by his posting pattern, he is, under the disingenuous guise of "I'm just asking questions" or the "I'm an objective party and have no stake here, but...." that people of his ilk typically do.
>Projecting
>Anyone who supports this is a shill
You're proving my point. I'm just having a debate based on principles rather than the product. Nothing wrong with that. But you take it as shilling becauseCinemaphile is supposed to hate anti woke shit to an irrational degree.
>I just have an objective view of the situation and don't see why big publishers can act like they're brave for putting out politically driven slop and tell fans to frick off
I'm not arguing for those big publishers, I think they're shit, too. Just because I think they're shit doesn't mean I'm fine with indies being shit, too, which is the case here.
>but this guy can't provide that audience a product they might like.
For frick sakes, the fans can't even tell you what they like about it, yet they push shit here trying to convince people on this board that they should like it and are pushing other threads off the board to shill their garbage.
>Yeah and they've had varying degrees of success and drama attached to them like the rippa shit. But you are hear making an exception of him because you don't like his audience having an alternative to woke shit
The difference between this and those creators is that there is usually discussion about the merit of their work and its content, and that their readers can tell you what what they liked and what they didn't like. The other difference is that there aren't multiple threads shitting up the board with their mediocre trash, because they usually frick off when they're told that their product is trash. good luck finding anyone that can argue for or discuss this book on its merits, especially for its grossly excessive price point.
>I don't want indies being shit
There are too many disconnected indies for the entire scene to be fricked up by one guy, so what are you mad at?
>Fans can't tell you what they like
I haven't been in enough threads to know honestly. But if I was a fan of the book I wouldn't post anything on Cinemaphile because this thread proves it just gets bombarded by triggered Cinemaphile gays. Maybe if you went somewhere where his fans actually gather, instead of just Cinemaphile trolls, you'd see some of that discussion. I see plenty of anons defending total shit on here, but this one makes you mad because it doesn't conform to woke shit.
“If marvel and dc fail….”
This will never happen and if they did you know what would not ever be a viable long term alternative for people seeking sequential art stories: fricking 50$ dentist office comics released once per year.
Western comics need to figure out a way to get people reading comics. Manga has it figured out. It’s: Giving people cheap/free digital stories which are easy to find and frequently release and the. they become hooked on them and organically want to collect those stories in a physical form. It’s not: making comics even more niche, expensive and written by debatably moronic amateurs
>Maybe his writing is bad
No "maybe" about it, the grifter can't write
>on his own
He got it by pandering to dipshits with more money than sense, then fricked up production for months because he assumed that he could just take care of everything
>He got there pandering to dipshits
Funny that's the same reason that most major publishers have gone to shit.
>The grifter can't write
Still got his vision going and can potentially improve. Better than making peanuts at big publishers imo.
>Nothing is stopping left wing comic creators from getting major crowd finding for their projects.
Yeah, they do exactly that... except they plan ahead and do things properly, because they're not obsessed with "winning" a made-up war and want to... y'know, tell a good story.
Kek
>They do exactly that, but with the backing of a major celebrity
I just used the most famous example - there are plenty of comics on Kickstarter and indiegogo that aren't run by egomaniacal dipshits who are too busy huffing their own farts
Hell, isn't like half the MASSIVEverse kickstartered? I know Inferno Girl Red was.
Do I learn of keanu's powers if I read this or do I have to wait for the second issue
The big two? What decade are you from, the 70s? You're out of touch and don't even read comics!
They're unfortunately still relevant to the medium.
there's no gay, that's a big improvement

No, what right-wingers deserve is a sympathetic portrayal of The Punisher.
>every isom thread until the end of time
not gonna lie, that's me when playing Yu-Gi-Oh
For all the Isom shills, could you at least try to shill the comic competently if you're going to make an attempt at it? Try to lie about the quality of the book, because at the very least that would imply you've read it.
Also, people aren't angry about some e-celeb grifting a bunch of idiots out of their money, they're annoyed at the transparent campaign pushing a grossly mediocre book as a "good" alternative to Big 2 garbage.
I am racist.
just realized what the cross on the super suit is supposed to be for
>Cinemaphileombrain
isom is the new face of no-fap
not everything is about porn, you'd understand that if you hadn't fried your synapses by being a degenerate

>nothing about it in the actual book
>make up stupid reasons as to why it's there
>you're a degenerate cum-brain
>I was just pretending to be moronic
you said the quiet part out loud
ok moron
Gee, looks like the other shills have woken up. Can't wait for them to project their own failings onto us non-shills!
>I have never shilled dogshit
Correct, I have never shilled Isom, or any other casualgate comic
Everything in the catalog is dogshit, you sure you haven't ever shilled any slop on this site?
Like I said, I've never shilled any casualgate comic, which more than qualifies as "slop"
It's not the only slop, what are you hiding? Why do you need to be so specific?
whatever you say man
NO YOU _ARE_ THE SHILLS
I never said that
this is gonna kill marvel & dc for sure
Even the panel where it's assumed that they hit each other, because they never showed the moment when it happened for some asinine reason, is weak, because they both only get pushed back ten feet from each other. For people with implied super strength, they're some weak b***hes.
powerful aura
>weak b***hes.
they're not weak, they killed marvel & dc
people forget that Disney is currently dying

it was the straw that broke the camel's back
Stop being such a detractor, you are supposed to “intuit” the punch landing
Has anyone actually read the comic?
it's bland and inoffensive
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/134905376
Well, let's be honest here: the comic itself is inoffensive, but the massive push from shills, and Eric constantly bragging about how his money laundering scheme had "put the entire industry on notice", coupled with the constant delays (after Eric had promised that the book was ready to ship as soon as the money came in) exposed Isom as the self-indulgent wank it always was.
so?
>shills can't even defend their bullshit, so resort to acting like moody teenagers

>Everybody walks around, they're walkin' advertisements. They've got advertisements on their clothes, you know? Walking around with "Adidas" written across their chests, '49'ers on their hats. Jesus. It's pathetic. It's pitiful. The whole cultures' one unified field of bought-sold-market researched everything, you know. It used to be that people fermented their own culture, you know? It took hundreds of years, and it evolved over time. And that's gone in America. People now don't even have any concept that there ever was a culture outside of this thing that's created to make money. Whatever's the biggest, latest thing, they're into it. You just get disgusted after a while with humanity for not having more, kind of like, intellectual curiosity about what's behind all this jive bullshit.
Imagine wanting to turn yourself into a human billboard
got to rub it in to everyone else how pointlessly and unfairly rich you are
No one cares about this shit book, /misc/gays. A thread died for this.

Who even is the titular rippa of rippaverse fame?
A failed musician and libertarian that turned to youtube outrage videos for fun and profit. homosexuals love him because now they get to hide behind his Blacksity and double down on "See I have a black friend you're the real racists".
>mogs your grifter scam with one simple question
PedoGAWDS stay winning
I was there during the storytime, unironically the Mr. Fantastic vs Justice League ripoff story was better than Isom, the book should've been about him
It felt more like the Elongated man but I get your point.
Does this have a single genuine fan? Every time it comes up anyone just screams :"At least it isn't WOKE!" like that's supposed to be worth money.
You'd buy cum if it wasn't woke.
wiener & cum is all rippafriends think about
now I know that you're projecting

A man's gotta have standards.
he did a very mediocre short isom animation and thought it was good lol, he should see what the asian studios do or at least watch some anime so he won't be embarrassed again
looked better than most of the shit Cinemaphile claims is good
Such as?
anything labeled as calarts
No it didn't, Eric.
cope
Cope with what, you being full of shit?
I have an idea, seems every paycheck gets more and more taxes taken out
Fffffffffuuuuuuck, I forgot that Eric gave that bullshit excuse to not ship the book... I'd like to think that he's gained some experience and won't fall into the same trap again (promising something stupid, then backtracking by not thinking ahead and refusing to keep his backers in the loop) but I'm sure he'll frick something up, and the shills will be around to suck his dick and pretend he's not an idiot.
Hell, remember when they started saying that Eric's website could somehow replace Kickstarter?
>h-h-he n-never said he was putting the industry on notice!
>"on notice"
Define "on notice", because it doesn't mean what you likely think it does.
Why don't you ask Eric and all his shills? All they did in the run-up to Isom #1 was brag about how Marvel and DC had been totes "put on notice", mainly so they didn't have to discuss the comic itself. Of course, when the comic finally shipped, all they had to say was that the box it came in looked nice.
>Why don't you ask Eric and all his shills?
Because I asked you. Just answer the question.
It means "We need to keep pretending that our shit is going to destroy comic book companies that know what they're doing, because our fee-fees got hurt"
Nah. It's weird how mad he makes you guys, though.
NTA but if it means anything other than "only the people that follow me on youtube will know this book exists" then it's failed at that.
>then it's failed at that
Nah. Covering up ignorance with being incorrect is just a reflection of stupidity.
That just means that all the shills pretending that Isom #1 was a success and a serious contender in the comic book industry are the dumbest motherfrickers alive
brace yourself for the "no u"
>pretending
It was a success.
>serious contender
In the face of DC and Marvel slowly killing themselves, it is, yeah. If you got over your addiction to hyperbolic thinking, you might find enough honesty in your heart to accept that.
>It was a success.
Prove it. Give us some sales figures verified by a third party.
Ok.
>verified by a third party
Oh. Don't have that. I trust his word, though. It's fine if you don't.
Man, remember when the shills kept pretending that this wasn't crowdfunded?
I love how in these threads no one actually ever discusses what happens in the Isom comic book or why they like it.
>I love how in these threads no one actually ever discusses what happens in the Isom comic book
People do discuss what happens in the Isom comic book. They're the anons saying nothing happened.
