That's the problem with having bad a goal of creating an expansive comic universe. In order to have one, you would need several comic series being published at the same time. That requires a lot of money.
The only things that are needed to sustain a massive comic universe is fan devotion and profit. Quality takes a second seat, story just has to be good enough.
Honestly, I think most of this shit is just straight up grifting, Rippaverse especially, but at least Razorfist knows his western shit. Don't know if that translates into actual writing talent since I'll probably never read his book to find out but the idea and passion is there. Especially when compared to another bogstandard "superheroes but they not woke" thing.
Because his is better plus doesn't have all the woke homosexual shit that DC/Marvel current era trash have. Turns out when you make comics for actual comic fans&nerdy males and not trannies on twitter your book will sell.
He doesn't have superpowers like other heroes! Or maybe he does.
He doesn't have a good motivation, morals or any qualities that would actually make him a hero! Definitely doesn't.
His villain.. did... something. Maybe.
We care about Isom because..
Anti-woke marketing is in. Get some non-woke chocolate that tastes like chalk and some non-gay beer made in the same building as bud light to enjoy while you read this non-woke comic with the writing quality of a high school book report. It’s free money
To be fair, the target audience for a book like this (incels) tend to have more disposable income to piss away on shit like this since they don’t have things like girlfriends, children, a house, or any other real responsibilities.
And somehow Marvel and DC aren't able to get a comparable amount of money. Their writers just made a trending hashtag (#ComicsBrokeMe) to cry about their miserable lives
Isn’t he charging like $30/issue? And didn’t a whole lot of losers flex about the stupid amount of money they were throwing at Eric July to “own da libz”? I’m sure if Marvel or DC sunk to the levels that Uncle Tom is they could pull in similar numbers.

The key aspect is that he's black himself. He knows that there's an integral part of the MAGA crowd that loves it when a Black person agrees with their points re. woke culture, because it shatters the liberal narrative of coexistence and diversity. So by making this loser a huge sales success they think they can gain credibility that their side is not actually racist.
I'm not sure if July is aware of this and is actively grifting these people or if he's actually drank his own kool-aid, but in either case there's no doubt in my mind that if he were white he would not have raised even a tenth of the publicity (or the money) that he's gotten for his generic-ass moronic comic.

Anon... Fricking Crossed of all things ran over a decade. Crossed.
Just let that sink in. If a torture porn comic written by Garth Ennis after a coke bing, a depressed Alan Moore and a cadre of bloodthirsty baboons can do it, Rippa should be making millions if it was actually good.
Why are most of you so mad at someone who's making something with their lives? I bet you don't even know the guy or where his personal stances are. I'm a fan of Rippa, but I'd never buy his book because it looks like a generic Walmart product. For Rippa, who is interested in Japanese and Western media, I was surprised to see how bland his character turned out. Not even simple bland, just something you'd give 3 seconds of thought to bland. Also you dopes sound like fat twitter users whenever you say he's "grifting". You have no idea what you are talking about.
>Also you dopes sound like fat twitter users whenever you say he's "grifting". You have no idea what you are talking about.
He's playing to Alt-Right culture for exaggerated monies, because they signal their "conservative" virtues by not buying shit or buying stupid marked up shit. Rippaverse is the latter.
>For Rippa, who is interested in Japanese and Western media, I was surprised to see how bland his character turned out. Not even simple bland, just something you'd give 3 seconds of thought to bland.
Honestly I’m just annoyed about this specific thing. If he put even the slightest modicum of creativity in this endeavour I’d find the fact the grifting hilarious. But it’s just so…painfully boring.
Because the product is dogshit and he's just exploiting tasteless Righwing turds.
It'd be the same if some Trans-indie woke guy started advertising Safespace and Snowflake as a crowdfunding campaign and started releasing issues which he talks 90% of the time about how racist and problematic the Big Two are while barely having a grasp on storytellig.
He riled up the right by using their anti-woke buzzwords then shit out a product even you acknowledge is mediocre shit. It's textbook grifting and you done got played. The right seems particularly prone to this kind of scam, they get triggered so easily by the correct framing.
You're getting it backwards. This guy was the one who made this into some kind of political crusade. If he'd just released this as one of the countless indie comics that come out every year, no one would know or care about it. But then, that's the point. He found a good angle to milk sales. He asked for the attention, this is a thread to discuss it, so why do you fail to understand this simple point over and over?
Did anyone even storytime this (with actual good quality scans)?
I think so.
Yes. It was meh.
No because for a couple of reasons
>Cinemaphile doesn't read comics, let alone 3rd party stuff that isn't an already established IP their childhood like TMNT
>no one actually gives a shit about the comic on here and it's obvious in the way that supporters post and type that thier shills reading from a prompt
They definitely storytimed it. Lurk more.
I seriously believe Eric comes here to shill his comics
Wouldn't doubt it. It's proven he constantly searches himself up on Twitter to argue with like literal nobodies
Which cover do you prefer?
This shit loos stiff as frick. What is the big guy punching? Why is the black guy doing this weird upwards punch instead o just extending his arm to hit the big guy's stomach?

Some guy storytime it and got bored halfway through the comic.

So anyone who bought the first one is this worth it
It's going to be quite dark
I-I-I-I JUST BOUGHT MORE ISSUES OF THE RIPPAVERSE
(Now I'm getting paid cash with ISOM earth)
Thanks Binyot
So an issue per year, huh?
Apparently the death of Marvel and DC will be an exceedingly slow one.
Marvel and DC comics are already dead anon, even american kids only read manga
So? They still are very much alive by merchandising money alone.
Anon, american kids only play fortnite and them huggy wuggy things.
Teens and odd adults read manga.
>35 bucks for 112 pages
Who knew ISOM stood for I Shit On Myself?
I'll wait for the trades.
I liked it better when this shit was unreleased and we had constant scam baiting threads. Shit was hilarious.

You could just do an anthology title, it’s not hard.
less profit
they got a million dollars
The universe gets to expand and live for another year
Milestone release 4 comic in one month though
I'm more interested in western kino
This. It looks genuinely good.
Honestly, I think most of this shit is just straight up grifting, Rippaverse especially, but at least Razorfist knows his western shit.

All that money to a bullshit animated trailer instead of just making THE FRICKING BOOK.
it was never about making books
it was about collecting money and making it look like theyve invested it
Well I'm fricking sick of it man. I just want good books I don't have to wait multiple years for.
Then look somewhere else, you won't find that here.
So why this guy's comic sell 600K copies while the top 10 at DC and Marvel sell 10K?
Tapping into a niche market.
Because his is better plus doesn't have all the woke homosexual shit that DC/Marvel current era trash have. Turns out when you make comics for actual comic fans&nerdy males and not trannies on twitter your book will sell.
Tell me about Isom, why is it so good and why people buy it?
He doesn't have superpowers like other heroes! Or maybe he does.
He doesn't have a good motivation, morals or any qualities that would actually make him a hero! Definitely doesn't.

Yeah, because Marvel and DC spend all their money on everything but their talent.
That's a matter of shit rates to squeeze extra profits, not the amount of money being made.
They actually pay their writers more than what they actually deserve. Also Marvel and DC don't make that much money considering their sales
If that's the case why does the big not just pander to them for easy cash?
Do you genuinely think they're morally righteous or something?

Was this just a backer reward? I'm genuinely curious how the first one turned out.
Get out your wallets and strike another blow to the woke left everyone!
Don't give frick.

Pull up.
By giving money to a black who can't write good shit?
Nah.
Wonder if he’ll sell the animated rights to Amazon like Invincible did
More like the DailyWire+

Oh boy!
sheeeiiit!

take that,liberals!
your diversity has no power here!
Animation? Is he going to make cartoons out of this now? What a grifter lmao, he barely has two issues and already wants to animate it
Imagine following Rob Liefeld's footsteps and managing to be more cringe at it than him lmao I hope he speedruns to the "bungles the copyright" stage
