I'm curious to see if the comics are actually good. I might buy the first issue to check it out. The thing that really attracts me is Eric says he really big on continuity and having an understandable timeline. It's one of my biggest issues with DC.
Here's hoping, he's got some longtime industry veterans working the art for him: Cliff Richards on penciling and inking, and Gabe Eltaeb on coloring. Cliff actually still actively works on DC comics as well. So I have high hopes for the art at least, I hope the writing can keep up.
His teaser vid on youtube where he explains a bit of the backstory sounds a bit cliche. But it's cape shit. I can't really fault him for building off the common language and tropes that have been developed as part of the medium over the past 100 or so years. Also, the art does look better than anything Marvel or DC have put out over the last couple years. I might just give this first issue a shot, and see where it goes. If nothing else, it will be worth it just for the industry seeth
>Also, the art does look better than anything Marvel or DC have put out over the last couple years
So you don't read Marvel nor DC, gotcha. Cause they just released comics by Dean White, Tomeu Morey, Clay Mann, Jorge Jimenez, Dan Mora, Esad Ribic, Daniel Sampere...
Okay, I'm gonna stop for your sake. But sure, the generic green guys with no sense of design and the generic blonde chick with a color palette designed by a 5 year old are definitely the next evolutionary leap of the medium!
>Okay, I'm gonna stop for your sake. But sure, the generic green guys with no sense of design and the generic blonde chick with a color palette designed by a 5 year old are definitely the next evolutionary leap of the medium!
You realize that the inker and artist he hired are industry veterans that have both worked with Dark Horse and DC, and one with Marvel... Right?
That has anything to do with anything how?
Because it shows your dishonesty. The art is by people who have pretty big resumes in the industry from covers to whole issues.
Why the frick would I care about that? Doesnt make the coloring on the cover any less amateurish, the designs any less generic, the woman have a better pallete, or the art any better than the latest Marvel and DC.
>Doesnt make the coloring on the cover any less amateurish
It's literally professionally done, but alright.
>Honestly that's my biggest complaint. It looks TOO DC-ish
I can see that, he has plans to do other comics in the same universe so I have hopes that not everything will be the same super DC-esque style. Some of the more stylized stuff Brett has done looks really good, and Eric does eventually want to do some more M-rated comics while keeping Isom more of a family comic that fathers and sons can read and collect together. Maybe we'll get some more stylistic experimentation with those others.
>It's literally professionally done, but alright.
And it looks amateurish. Screeching over and over again that some schmuck with no name did a cover once doesn't change what's in plain sight.
>Screeching over and over again that some schmuck with no name did a cover once doesn't change what's in plain sight.
His name is Gabe and he's got a pretty big resume, lol.
Why do you keep repeating he's worked before? You've said it five times. I don't care. I want a good looking cover, and got amateurish crap. Give me someone who knows what he's doing even if he has no credits.
>he's so amateur
>keeps getting hired by DC as a professional colorist
okay
So you're going to repeat it six times? The cover still looks like shit, bro. Why is the bounce light a different color in each face? Don't respond if you're technically illiterate btw.
You said the art is better than anything from DC and Marvel in the past few years and that's just not true.
that's fair, it's only better than half of what marvel and DC has produced in the past few years
I'll judge that more seriously once I actually read the book. Art looks pretty solid though based on what's been shown.
I mean, he literally hired ex DC artists to do the art, so at the very least you can compare it to the work they did for DC
Honestly that's my biggest complaint. It looks TOO DC-ish
>You said the art is better than anything from DC and Marvel in the past few years
If you're talking about this post:
That wasn't me. Though I agree in a sense, as Brett and Gabe draw women like women rather than hypermasculine monsters like some of the more recent DC/Marvel attempts.
lol, the industry damage control shills literally can not imagine a world where they are not too big to fail
What recent Marvel and DC have you read? I'm not talking about screencaps you spotted on social media.
>What Marvel and DC comics have you read?
>N-no not THOSE comics.
Here's your Captain Marvel bro. Most books are better than this but not by much.
Do you even know what comic that's from? Who is the artist? Inker? Colorist? Anything about the industry at all?
Why does any of that matter? It's a "professional" full price Marvel comic that got officially release. Cope. Seethe. Dial8.
>full price Marvel comic
So about 10, 15 times cheaper than Rippaverse?
More like a third cheaper. Remember this is a 96 page comic. That seems pretty reasonable for an indie that doesn't have a huge company backing him.
Hey moron, those are trades. 200 pages long.
Hey moron. Some of them are 113 pages.
Hey moron. You act like singles aren't $4-5 on their own for 20 pages.
>the industry shills have finally found a way to leverage the fact that no one is really buying their shit anymore
lul
Would you call Cinemaphile posters asking people on their board why they are posting if they are refusing to watch movies "industry shills"? Maybe I'm here because I'm a comic book reader.
Cinemaphile calls everyone a shill, dumbass
Yes
>a bit of the backstory sounds a bit cliché
Thank god, I'm tired of pointless deconstructions or "subverting expectations"
>Also, the art does look better than anything Marvel or DC have put out over the last couple years
Somehow I doubt that. Consider reading comics instead of the regurgitated crap that grifters spout. I was into that sort of content a few years back until I realized I was missing the forest for the trees. This whole "anti sjw" movement is about that. Wallowing in misery instead of looking out for the good stuff. Terms like "modern comics" are generalizations so broad that they can't capture half of what the genre offers.
Considering most of them are woke trash... Nah I'm good.
Considering the sales numbers of the big two I'm going to go out on a limb and assume other people came to the same conclusion.
lol, yeah... this art aint doing it for me. This doesn't even have a good panel lay out. and no, layering a bunch of flat strip panels over a splash page is not a good layout/design
>I can't really fault him for building off the common language and tropes that have been developed as part of the medium over the past 100 or so years.
I can. That shit is why comics was failing even before it got woke. Shared universe is stupid and restricts storytelling. The setting that's "our world but with superpowered people" Is dull as frick. The characters all have the most generic costumes imaginable rather than looking interesting or stylish.
>ugly as frick coloring
>pure focus on realistic detail with zero focus on visual storytelling or overall readability
looking at that page makes me want to gouge my fricking eyes out.
This is pretty much how I feel. I will probably give it a try when I can read it, and if I like it I will throw money his way.
>The thing that really attracts me is Eric says he really big on continuity and having an understandable timeline.
This is all meaningless if all you’re doing is publish a small handful of titles. How does lore and continuity wank matter if you barely have any content set around it?
>It's one of my biggest issues with DC.
Do you not understand how hard it is to maintain that when you’re publishing 50+ comics a month, have decades of material to conserve and adhere to, and while time moves on irl in the comics it works however the writer feels like, unless you hamper creativity by strict editorial mandates that dictate what you can do and how much time moves forward in any title and how much you have to reference other titles due to what’s happening in them.
>Do you not understand how hard it is to maintain that when you’re publishing 50+ comics a month
Marvel has/had a pretty solid timeline and continuity. I could pick up Fantastic Four #1 from the 60s, find a read order, and just knocking them out. The only time they deviated from that was that Ultimate shit (which also had a comprhensive timeline). As much as I like DC characters, their shit is all over the place. It's just my personal opinion.
>What if it were in overpriced book form?
I think people are paying high prices to support him.
>I think people are paying high prices to support him.
Yes. I agree that it has nothing to do with product quality and everything to do with ideology. Glad we're on the same page.
>Marvel has/had a pretty solid timeline and continuity
No they fricking don’t. They keep changing shit all the time and then just ignore it. Reed and Ben used to be in the military together as Korean war vets and the entire FF origin is set around the goddamn space race with the USSR. Xavier and Juggernaut were in Korea too and that’s how Marko found the gem. The Red Ghost was an USSR scientist who wanted to beat the Americans in getting into the moon first and claims it for the Soviets. And since the early days those aspects are always ignored with subsequent retcons and origin retellings. And now the whole Siancong retcon further alters things to replace anyone who was in Vietnam/Korea.
There is still a fricking timeline of events, even though some things get retconned. You can go through and read a history of major events and understand what has happened. With DC there are like 50 different "Earths" and they're constantly rebooting the timeline, but keeping shit from previous timelines anyway and having story arcs that come out of nowhere and you don't even know where they fit in.
>With DC there are like 50 different "Earths"
And only 1 of them matters and is focused on 99.9998% of the time. Why aren’t you crying about Marvel’s multiverse you disingenuous frick? There’s billions of them!
>and they're constantly rebooting the timeline
It’s happened literally twice. Three if you want to be pedantic about golden/silver age transition.
>but keeping shit from previous timelines anyway
Because fans want old stories and characters to exist instead of having to wait twenty years for them to pop up.
>having story arcs that come out of nowhere and you don't even know where they fit in.
I don’t even understand wtf you’re trying to say here. Except being autistic about timelines is just, you being autistic and not just enjoying a story.
Wolverine has good understandable timeline because the character does not age.
>Reed and Ben used to be in the military together as Korean war vets
I though Reed was in the OSS and was with Sergent Fury in Golden Age Marvel. He even mentions the fact they they were together when Nick Fury was brought into the Silver Age and made head of SHIELD.
That might be a later retcon. Pretty sure they originally were just Korean vets, and that’s why Ben is a pilot. Could be wrong, been years since I read those old stories.
Nah, just looked it up.
see:
Fantastic Four 21, 1963. Talks about how Reed Richards was in the OSS in WW2. It's also the first introduction of Nick Fury in the Silver Age. The only reason I remember that is because my dad had a whole shit ton of Sgt Fury and his Howling Commandos comics locked away in a chest and he had a bunch of old Avengers and Fantastic Four ones too.
Xavier and Juggernaut were Koren War vets though.
Ah, my mistake then. But that actually just shows how much FF timeline doesn’t work when these characters are meant to have fought in WW2 originally, but it doesn’t matter because you just ignore and retcon it with more modern origin retellings. Just like what DC does.
Yeah I suppose you are right. I didn't mean to get into a huge argument about it, I just have a hard time getting into DC because I'm not sure where to start. I would really like to start reading and everyone's suggestion is to just start reading. It's a little frustrating because a lot of stories look really good but I want to start at the beginning, if there is one. It constantly feels like I'm missing something.
>It constantly feels like I'm missing something.
See, in my day that was a good and exciting reason to find out stuff and read more, instead of complaining about having more material to consume that you weren’t previously aware of.
Timline is difficult to deal with for Marvel and DC characters that have been around for more than 3 decades and older. Batman should be 160 years old if we truly stuck to a real timeline.Spider-Man should be in his 80's by now

Hopefully stuff like this shames DC and Marvel enough to start internal change.
Why would it? Every issue they publish per month out of their 50 titles make a million bucks. Not a million sales, but that's not what's being argued.
>Why would it?
These writers are very prideful and getting shit on by literal whos will hurt a lot.
They're getting shit on by a comic that sells as much as She Hulk?
Does this intend to be actually interesting or does its idea of "nonpolitical" mean swapping out hamfisted woke shit for hamfisted chud shit?
It's another youtuber comic what do you think?
If you want apolitical just go to Cinemaphile and read manga.
Manga has gays and blacks tho.
Thats fine as long as it doesn't have America's dumb political shit. Yuri and yaoi are fine/whatever but an LGBT tag just feels awful.
yeah but japan knows how to make them cool
Most dark skinned manga characters aren't explicitly black. The ones who are tend to look like old US caricatures of black people
Montgomery Ogun, Michiko Malandro, Atsuko Jackson, Bob Makihara, Sakaki Sowande, Ayukawa Miyuki, Ben Jackson, Nathan Seymour, Canary, Krone, Ken Takagi, Kilik Rung, Onyankopon, Mohammad Abdul, Andrew Gilbert Mills, Dorothy, Claudia Lasalle, Dutch.
They don't all look like caricatures. It's really only westerners that think in order to look black you have to look like some never relax bullshit.
Staff Officer Black is better and more based than all of them
>blacks tho.
very few, most are Southeast Asian, Indian or Tan
80% of the characters are black
this shit is marvel but independent
Okay? Original black characters will always be better then "Yet Another Black Spider-Man/Superman!"
>writing original black characters instead of hijacking legacy characters
>characters who happen to be black instead of characters whose blackness is their only defining feature
>made by actual black guy instead of performative white numales
This is totally fine unless you just don't like black people.
He's against original black characters though. His job is to cry about new black characters in star wars, star trek and more.
Maybe it’s because they’re dogshit?
He don't elaborate on why he hate a character. He just read articles with a mush mouth and say that it is woke and bad. He is open about not reading a single comic about the topic or watching the show.
>Doesnt elaborate
Yes he does in detail about tokenization which goes further into detail on his description of that. In several video's.
There was a time non-white characters where good not anymore.
Nah. It’s because he’s a grifter. Clearly. Idiot.
Have you ever thought that he dislikes these characters because they're poorly written and not just because they're black?
>Have you ever thought that he dislikes these characters because they're poorly written and not just because they're black?
If poor writing is a problem maybe he shouldn't do a plot synopsis that sounds like it was generated by an AI.
They refuse to believe there's such a thing as "good writing", to them all standards are actually fronts for prejudice. They think the only reason anyone likes the Lord of the rings more than their Transexual sonic fanfiction is because Tolkien has an unfair arbitrary advantage.
>They refuse to believe there's such a thing as "good writing", to them all standards are actually fronts for prejudice.
Sounds like projection on your part.
It's a shame that fifty years of leftist philosophers and writers have argued, by degrees, that very thing then.
Man, leftism has never really recovered from the idea that we can just go back and check what you said before.
It's more that I don't believe you particularly care about good writing, or you'd probably take issue with the fact that the plot synopsis for this book sounds incredibly lackluster and generic, offering nothing new or innovative or particularly interesting.
Now, I know you're going to say "wait and see", and I'll agree to that, with the caveat that the sunken cost will motivate you to defend the work, that no matter what comes out or how low quality it ends up being, meaning that objectivity was never possible.
IDK man Static Shock had a pretty shitty plot synopsis and that little dude spent like 30 episodes zapping the balls off every nig in Dakota and that one white guy who looked like Fred Durst.
But really I don't care if Eric's comic is good because I haven't bought it. It would be gratifying, obviously, to see someone hated by my enemies produce some kind of great art, but if he doesn't he doesn't. Do I enjoy the idea of the left getting a slap in the face? Sure, to a degree. I can separate the humorous political "victory" from wether I enjoy the book or not.
I wish you guys would stop calling it Static Shock. It's just Static.
And coincidentally
kinda proves my point. The book doesn't even need to exist. It's blatant nobody really cares about it so this talk of good writing is an unnecessary farce.
just because I don't care about it. because i generally don't care about comics.
I own the first 3 hellboy & sandman books. and all of deathnote.
I hope it's good for the sake of people who enjoy reading comics.
how exactly is one person not caring about it prove your point?
>how exactly is one person not caring about it prove your point?
Because it's the entirety of these threads, not just one person. You guys aren't here to even discuss the comics, you're here to laugh at the "seething leftists".
I don't even care that you are, I just want you to stop using the "I really care about good writing" excuse. You're close enough by admitting you generally don't care about comics so I can at least kind of respect that but why not just go all the way and be honest that you're only here for idpol culture wars nonsense? Man up instead of hiding behind these weasley arguments.
>you're here to laugh at the "seething leftists".
Well that's definitely part of the fun
what weasly arguments, if that is what you meant by proving your point. then its understandable but if you're suggesting that the vast majority of people are pretending to care about this you're mistaken.
i've already stated my reason for being here. anything else that comes from browsing a Cinemaphile thread is up there too. im not on some homosexual reddit thread.
>what weasly arguments,
Any variation of "the problem is bad writing"
you're thinking of someone else
>You guys aren't here to even discuss the comics, you're here to laugh at the "seething leftists".
They come into these threads and immediately start b***hing about the author. Just look at every thread in the archive.
It's not even out yet.
I know. And yet we have a half dozen threads about it.
And I actually understand why. Right now, the book is untouchable. It's in its most perfect state, the state of in potentia. Everyone can pretend it's going to be revolutionary and change the industry and work themselves into a frothy lather as they circlejerk about the coping industry insiders that they're overthrowing. When the book comes out, we may not even hear about it if it ends up a wet enough shart. But I think we just might because the deeper the hole idpol digs you the harder it is to admit when you're wrong, so at least some of these gays are gonna double down and keep slurping on daddy eric's big black wiener.
Hahaha lol guy who say same as me make million dollars, you go frick.
The Superhero's name is Static, but the cartoon (AKA the only version anyone should give a shit about) was called Static Shock.
Tolkien does have a big advantage due to cultural machinery propping his works up with countless media adaptations that as you as a newcomer can’t compete against. You’re miles behind anything old and already well established IP, 80 it is not everyone being on the same starting line. People always flock to stuff other people are talking about because they want to belong or stuff that looks familiar. They’re less likely to try something new just because it’s new.
WOAH i will not be reading Tolkien that guy was insanely alt-right!
>Saruman of the rainbow
>He will endlessly deconstruct principles to prove his intellect
How did he know.
>Tolkien does have a big advantage due to cultural machinery propping his works up with countless media adaptations
you absolute dumb frick. THE REASON PEOPLE ADAPTED HIS WORK WAS BECAUSE IT WAS GOOD TO BEGIN WITH.
This is the leftist mindset on display, no one ever succeeds off their own ideas, it's all just privilege this and systemic racism that. FRICKING have a nice day.
>Only GOOD things get adapted
No, things that sell, or what people think will sell, or what are essentially vanity projects, get adaptations. And that elevates the original material to be more widely known and popular even if it’s horrible. Look at 50 shades of grey, Twilight, Hunger Games, etc. Not that great literature but turned into millions making media spectacles that made the IP hundreds times more popular thanks to the mediocre to bad movies. A new writer can’t compete with that, unless by random chance they happen to get a deal with Hollywood.
>A new writer can’t compete with that
Saying this after you literally just mentioned a bunch of books that were created by - at the time - new writers, is hilarious.
Especially considering one of those books literally started out as a fanfiction of one of the others.
A new writer can’t directly compete with big IPs that already have massive media presence and multiple adaptations. They can’t. It’s only if they happen to gain some moderate level of success in their little niche and then get noticed and their work optioned and that option gets turned into a massive Hollywood project with multiple successful installments, do you have a chance at competing with someone like Tolkien. And even then there’s the issue of Tolkien’s fiction having several decades of cross pollination already making his stuff better recognized and thus having bigger advantage over you.
Good material only matters in terms of possibly having sustained longevity that keeps them in people’s minds longer, because bad flavor of the time things are quickly forgotten. But even here film adaptations, etc. are becoming increasingly major factors in maintaining popularity, than then drive people to the source, instead of vice versa.
>A new writer can’t compete with that
I think a new writer just did by becoming a millionaire in a day. The cream always rises bby. Also you get mad at shit like 50 shades, twilight, and hunger games, but the reality is those are products with an audience: dumb b***hes. Dumb b***hes love that shit.
It's not that new writers can't compete, it's just that a lot of writers are shit. They write self indulgent narcissistic shit that no one wants to read. Just like all the egoist leftists in the industry today.
because this scam artist knows his audience is all white chuds
he just needs to scream WOKE against every not pale character and he wins
What’s the scam?
I give him money and he gives me his product
Where’s the product?
He's said it's already in fulfilment, they will be shipping out next month.
Riiiight. Did he sell you a bridge as a perk, too?
He's shown and flipped through the book on video. Why are you so bitter about this?
Uh huh. I totally believe a c**tservative grifter whose “job” is to whine about woke shit.
I don't really care what you believe, I'm looking forward to reading through the book. Lol.
And I don’t care that this idiot believes Covid is a hoax when even his Masa Trump said to get vaxxed.
Then why bring it up?
That makes no sense, moron.
He never said he was a conservative. Typical binary-thinking leftists.
Pretty sure he is a libertarian anarchist. Big focus on decentralization and dislikes big gov.
So if, IF, you're wrong, what will you do?
Just follow it as a hypothetical for a moment. Will you even take one second to reflect? Will you admit in a thread you were wrong? Or will you just find some reason it doesn't "count" and pretend you never said it wasn't coming out.
NTA but he'll probably do what you'll do if/when the book comes out and is boring shit; pretend you never said anything one way or the other and disappear behind the veil of anonymity.
That's the perk and problem of this site; nobody has to actually stand by their opinions or have the courage of conviction.
But I didn't say one way or the other, besides that I hate the b***hing.
The only way I could turn out to be wrong is if I suddenly discovered I loved the b***hing.
Exactly.
He literally openly admits to being a libertarian you cuckold. This is why he never shilled for Trump
When are you gonna learn, if you're not troony-Stalin, you're a dangerous right wing terrorist who must be silenced at all costs?
There's no scale, there's no subtlety, there's no hard this, hard that, no center, not anymore, not for a long, long time.
His ilk has also shown videos of “stolen ballots”.
>His ilk
So you don't actually have anything on him and default to "but these people over here did this thing!". That's pretty funny anon.
It’s called lying, moron. Grifters do it all the time. They ALL do it. Sorry you’re an easy mark.
>It’s called lying, moron.
Lying about what?
SALES NUMBERS. Holy frick, you’re slow.
proof?
Proof he didn’t?
The proof is on you, dipshit
Go on Kickstarter or Indiegogo right now and view the page source. It looks exactly the same. The number is generated server side and put into the html file.
Doesn't prove anything when he owns the website, moron.
Seems like you're upset he didn't use Kickstarter or IGG so you could cancel him and try to lock up his product. It's a damn good thing he hosted this on his own website with the way ya'll have been acting over it.
Cyberfrog was on igg and it was made by a comic vet who is anti-woke.
Yeah. EVS and Eric know each other. They talk to each other on Twitter and they've been on each other's streams.
Okay? So everything has to be through IGG if you want to break into the industry? Gotta love how you folks always want to get in a position of power over a black man in whatever way you can.
Where's your proof then moron? The only thing you had was the number in the page source but that's how all of these crowdfunding platforms work. The burden of proof is on you. But I know you don't have any. Lmao.
No, the burden of proof is on you. A guy who makes 50K per video making a million in a day is sus. Now quit making these threads or I'll call the IRS on Eric.
Not my thread but I don't think I will. This makes you gays seethe so hard you have to make shit up. No proof whatsoever btw.
Rippa addressed the number fudging accusations with video evidence.
Anyways stan Rippaverse
He lied about meeting his funding goal so that people would no longer feel the need to donate since the goal had already been met?
How much HRT are you on right now?
Talking about this guy's accusation?
Yeah, he already he admitted he was wrong after actual programmers notified him that was just a field that receives update information from the server. Checking Kickstarter or IndieGoGo projects will yield the same results.

heh well not to brag or anything BUT
It takes place around Dallas
of COURSE there's a lot of black characters. Dallas has one of the largest black populations in the US.
the main character and his immediate family and high school friend are black but the secondary super powered people aren't black.
Manhattan, where most of the Marvel books take place, is like 25% black, and people here and the target audience of this book complain about that all the time. There's no actual consistency when it comes to statistics mattering so I don;t see the point in trotting them out.
Manhattan is less black than the US as a whole, what are you talking about?
It's like 12%
I did screw that up. I meant NYC not just Manhattan. Just Manhattan is 15 percent, the other boroughs up it to 23.
Those are the old numbers from 2010
now it's down to 20%
But also, while you could have a point for marvel, you don't have a point for DC, who's cities are all completely fictitious and usually amalgamations of multiple other cities.
Also, I don't think people b***h that there are black people in comics that take place in DC.
I think people b***h that there are black people in comics that take place literally everywhere.
I've seen comics be sure to include black people in JAPAN
No anime fan get triggered by a black in their Shonen. The raikage and his brother almost killed and humiliated a main character and anime fans loved it.
because only girls like sasuke

I was thinking specifically of Marvel, yes. That seems to be the company that gets the most amount of complaints about it.
>Also, I don't think people b***h that there are black people in comics that take place in DC.
>I think people b***h that there are black people in comics that take place literally everywhere.
Yeah, I can agree to that.
>I've seen comics be sure to include black people in JAPAN
This is actually more likely than you think thanks to those military bases in Okinawa. I remember on my trip back in 03 going to a mcdonalds on Osaka and there was an interracial couple with a kid that had cornrows and it kind a blew my mind.
Also Japan doesn't really make as big a deal about black characters as the west does, surprisingly enough. If the situation calls for it they'll throw one in since a black person is basically the second most popular kind of gaijin archetype for them outside of blond hair and blue eyes with a huge nose.
dude, we have the 2020 census
>marvel gets more complaints about it than DC
really? I always felt like it was the opposite. Marvel just has a bigger cast, but DCs the one that's tried to replace hal jordan with another ethnic minority... 5 times? 6?
Don't get me wrong, John's a better lantern, but it's like they think making a new lantern with a new race will bring in readers.
And the DC shows are known for swapping every redhead for a black person
>dude, we have the 2020 census
The site I linked lists the data as being from this year and says it uses the most recent census.
>really? I always felt like it was the opposite. Marvel just has a bigger cast, but DCs the one that's tried to replace hal jordan with another ethnic minority... 5 times? 6?
Marvel gets flack for this way more due to Sam as Captain America, and Miles Morales.
Green Lanterns tend to get a pass in comparison because there's already a million of them and it's pretty clear none of them will ever be allowed to be as big a gary stu as Hal.
>outside of blond hair and blue eyes with a huge nose.
You forgot the blonde girl with enormous breasts.
That's the female version of the blonde giga chad guy, yes. And they usually have an american flag bikini.
This black Tokyo fire fighter didn't generate any outrage or b***hing.
Yea, instead pic related is what caused outrage when it came to Fire Force.
You can probably guess which side was outraged about it.
Nobody was upset about this. Why do Cinemaphilecoomer make up imaginary people now? Are you aware that Americans have an aversion to sexual content in animation and censor stuff for decades to make more money? Just look at Fairy Tail, Sailor Moon and DragonBall.
There's no secret leftist group trying to destroy your anime.
>Nobody was upset about this.
>Are you aware that Americans have an aversion to sexual content
So wouldn't they be upset by that?
The dub made these decisions 30 years ago, they were going to do it again regardless.
Pretty sure Fire Force didn't exist 30 years ago.
So you're just going to ignore all of previous anime that was censored in this past decade?
What do those anime have to do with Fire Force?
Censorship of anime is nothing new and people on Twitter didn't influence a decade year old trend.
Right, they continued it, which is the problem.
Which is why they're largely no different from conservatives in that regard.
You think anime censorship is a left and right issue? It get censored because of culture differences and anime being seen as cartoons for kids.
Also no company want to risk getting a higher TV rating and missing out on all of the children money. That's why so many movies avoid the R-rating like the plague.
>You think anime censorship is a left and right issue?
No, I don't, which is why I literally just said that they're largely no different.
Are you illiterate?
Both the left and the right are full of annoying as frick prude regressives.
>Also no company want to risk getting a higher TV rating and missing out on all of the children money.
Oh yea, I'm sure all those companies were just certain that Redo of Healer, the anime about a dude revenge-raping his rapist and mindbreaking her so he can destroy her life and eventually kill her would be perfect for all the kiddies.
Do you even read the moronic shit you type?
The reply chain didn't link to redo of healer and yes nobody want to dub hentai. Does a hentai dub even exist by the way?
Redo of Healer isn't a hentai my moronic friend.
But on that note, there was also Interspecies Reviewers, which was completely removed from Funimation's service for "objectionable content."
I have no idea why you're trying to argue against the objective fact that there are people who are on the left or who call themselves "liberal" (hint: they're not) who are regressive prudes who get asshurt at anime breasts.
This is something that even Japanese creatives who barely speak English can see as plain as day.
>Redo of Healer isn't a hentai my moronic friend.
that's highly debatable.
This would be like calling Bastard! a hentai because it's full of sex scenes.
Or calling Game of Thrones a porno because it's full of sex scenes.
The entire point of redo of healer is the sex scenes. Everything inbetween is just there to set up the sex scenes.
>The entire point of redo of healer is the sex scenes.
Again, this is like saying that the entire point of Bastard!! is the sex scenes.
Like frick, at least make this argument for Interspecies Reviewers, which is literally about a brothel and is based on a manga made by a porn artist.
Are you joking?
No, I am not.
>Like frick, at least make this argument for Interspecies Reviewers
Do you think people watch Redo of healer for the plot? the great characters? No, they watch it so they can watch a sociopath have nightly orgies with his harem.
>No, they watch it so they can watch a sociopath have nightly orgies with his harem.
Actually I think they watch it so they can watch said sociopath make himself look like a girl so he can trick a lesbian into trying to date rape him so he can use that as an excuse to kill her.
Or watch him turn a dude into a futa so he can get raped to death by berserk men in a burning building.
The harem sex scenes were secondary to the dumb revenge scenes.
Can you elaborate on how this is not hentai? https://www.xvideos.com/video60669761/reply_to_warlock_s_restarting_life

Game of throne plot is not all about sex. Redo of Healer plot is all about sex and rape.
>Game of throne plot is not all about sex.
I can tell you don't remember the first 2 seasons of Game of Thrones.
South Park literally made a joke about how many sex scenes there were in the show (usually with heavy focus on male full frontal).
disgusting
>Does a hentai dub even exist by the way?
My dude you haven't lived until you've heard the voice of Dan Green (4Kids Yu Gi Oh) doing weird hentai dubs where he tells the girl to cluck like a chicken.
>Also no company want to risk getting a higher TV rating and missing out on all of the children money.
Except for all of the woke translators on Twitter trying to do exactly that.
>Nobody was upset about this.
>There's no secret leftist group trying to destroy your anime.
Methinks anon doth protest too much.
I like how you saw "people got upset at anime nudity" and your mind immediately went to leftists.
This is what Cinemaphile do monthly. They pretend that the left is trying to take away their coom.
Are you denying that sex-negative progressives exist? Because they certainly do.
NTA but I don't think sex positivity/negativity really has a specific political alingment. Because there are prudes and deviants on both sides.
Like for example this character is from a comic that the board insists is woke trash due to the main characters being lesbians. But on the whole Spinnerette is fetishy as frick.
>Like for example this character is from a comic that the board insists is woke trash due to the main characters being lesbians.
Lolno, no one considers smut/porn comics woke, frick are you talking about?
That'd be like calling Sultry Summer woke because it features lesbian e-girl sex.
Or calling
woke because one of the antagonists is a lesbian.
>Lolno, no one considers smut/porn comics woke, frick are you talking about?
Lurk more I guess. People complained a lot when the story started focusing on gay romance.
Post the archives then.
I think there's a chunk of about six months missing from an archive outage but Spinnerete's audience was not a fan of her turning out to be gay.
And before you say "they weren't calling it woke" I'd like to point out this mostly went down before people started saying "woke".
So your big example is 12 posts over the course of 4 years to say that this ENTIRE board "insists" that this random webcomic is "woke trash?"
Are you serious or are you just trolling me?
I did say there was more missing, and I didn't collect all of them since some of it spanned multiple posts.
So why not just link the actual thread instead of trying to cherrypick specific posts?
Because it's more than one thread over the course of seven years? If you wanna dig through them you have the post numbers now.
>Because it's more than one thread over the course of seven years?
Right, which is why it's disingenuous to say that "the whole board" was mad at this.
It'd be like pointing to 5 years worth of guy posts and saying that the entirety of Cinemaphile is made up of schizos who post bad Ren & Stimpy art in between schizo rambles.
And I've already looked at the threads, most of those posts aren't even in threads specifically about Spinerette, they're more in general webcomic threads (since Spinerette was largely irrelevant).
In fact, what it looks like you did is just go to the archive, search "Spinerette lesbian" and just post some random posts, because you pulled the "the board thought the lesbians were woke trash!" out of your fat fricking ass.
The difference right now is that the woke leftists have all the power at these companies right now.
>Because there are prudes and deviants on both sides.
You're right, but one side is more vocal and has more influence than the other side. Religious puritans have very little political capital. Most contemporary censorship is coming from people who decry everything as sexist.
We're the Harley censorship?
>Religious puritans have very little political capital.
Religious Puritans literally just got one of their biggest legal goals achieved in the courts.
We're you one of the people that thought that the hentai redo of healer English dub was secretly canceled somehow?
Are you just pretending or are you moronic? You know there are woke leftists that work at companies like Crunchyroll and Funimation that are trying to do exactly that on Twitter every day.
You're definitely moronic for believing a guy who looks like he came from skid row who will (allegedly) know how to use a million dollars.
Lmao. Deflected. Keep seething.
>Th-this one got a translation!
Yeah I'm sure it did. That doesn't change the fact that there are woke leftists applying pressure on the Japanese writers and publishers constantly on Twitter.
The irony considering you're seething over a black man's successful comic.
>woke leftists
Trump lost. Cry more.
That got a English release, kinda surprised it wasn’t some “collectors” one that includes a 5 page art book and a $50 up charge but you can buy a Blu-ray of it from Best Buy.
Black anime characters rarely do. Maybe because they tend to be kinda awesome, but more likely because anyone that's likely to complain has already come up with some headcanon reason why ackshully they're not black, like we always see with the cloud village homies.
Strange how Raikage isn't black but Cinemaphile insists on using him for all their cuck porn.
The guy literally have immigrants parents.
I...is this a serious post?
Do Americans think all immigrants are black or something?
His parents were from Africa.
I know. And he's named after the Yoruba god of fire.
You underestimate the lengths some people will go to in order to avoid admitting they like anything related to blackness.
To my knowledge, the comic doesn't take jabs at liberals. If that's the case I don't get why Cinemaphile is so upset at it.
>If that's the case I don't get why Cinemaphile is so upset at it.
This is starting to make me think that the whole "industry shills browse Cinemaphile" thing might be legit.
I cannot understand why like 2 or 3 specific posters really have it out for this dumb indie comic.
Especially that one dude who is constantly insisting that the numbers are fake.
>This is starting to make me think that the whole "industry shills browse Cinemaphile" thing might be legit.
Projection
Bro. You haven't read it.
Remember, they set the rules of engagement. Anything not explicitly left wing must be destroyed because it's mega-hitler.
If you're not celebrating drag queen story hour in the kindergarten, you're calling for the crucifixion of everyone darker than you.
I will never understand why this shit makes people so mad, but it's hilarious.
No one's mad. Seriously I'm trying to look for the most buthurtt takes and all I've found is one guy lying about inspect element.
Literally everyone else doesn't give a shit or are giving normal levels of skepticism yet there being labeled as cancel hungry sjws. It makes you guys look mad if anything
>I'm not mad, u-ur mad!
c'mon man, you can do better.
I'm not mad, just annoyed by the shilling
This shit is literally nothing we haven't seen before
When?
The only people mad are failing comic artist and journos who will not talk about the success of the campaign because it would support the "wrong" kinds of people. They could easily talk about it without bringing up the political aspect but their pride won't let them.
Because the opposite of sjws shouldn't be sjws. It should be actual quality instead of reactionary spite. And it's never actual quality. I just wanna fricking grill man.
then grill? Why are you here? You wouldnt be... a disingenuous homosexual would you?
Because you guys are spamming threads. We don't need nine a day for a comic that isn't even out yet. There's no discussion here, just you name calling anyone that points this out.
lol, if you don't like it, report the thread, homosexual.
we don't need a dozen threads about homosexual ships either, but here we are.
Cyberfrog is good though. Alterna has a ton of good comics. There are plently of good comicsgate books already released.
>Cyberfrog is good though.

Doubt, considering the fact that no one ever talks about them.
>but Cinemaphile never talks about good things
yes but not to this extreme. Cyberfrog doesn't even get a SOP. It's completely memory holed.
>no one ever talks about them
You could say that about almost every non-Marvel/DC comic. A majority of people don't give a frick if you aren't Marvel or DC and its probably going to stay that way.
....so what the frick is it about? Black Superman?
>....so what the frick is it about?
>Avery Silman was once an entry-level hero known as Isom in the city of Florespark, Texas shortly after gaining his special abilities. A certain event had him hang up his suit, and now he stays on the outskirts of the city, living as a rancher.
>Avery’s sister, Altona, gives him a call and wants him to visit an old friend by the name of Darren Fontaino. Another family friend that was interning with Altonta has gone missing and she last heard that she was dealing with Darren. But Darren has much changed since he was hanging out with Avery when they were young. He’s a cold-blooded shot-caller and one of the most feared men in the city.
>This visit turns into one of the longest days in Avery’s life. Around these parts, people call ‘special beings’ Excepts. And unfortunately for Avery, he has the luxury of running into some of them. The Alphacore and Yaira have their own set of conflicts. A man built like a tank by the name of Santwan reappears and he’s had previous confrontation with Avery. So what happens with Avery and Darren’s meeting? Who and where is the family friend? Just grab Isom #1: Ill-Advised Pt. 1 and find out for yourself!
could be good
Yeah, it's sounding like it's going to be a lot more street level as opposed to the world/reality ending stuff Marvel/DC can't seem to let go. I'm into the street level heroes, going lower key like that can bring a lot more to the table with characterization.
I guess I'll remain cautiously optimistic. It looks decent, but I guess we'll see how it actually turns out.
>I guess I'll remain cautiously optimistic. It looks decent, but I guess we'll see how it actually turns out.
I won't lie about being excited for it, but when it comes down to it I agree. It has to turn out well and hit the ground running to retain me as a buyer, if it falls back towards the same preachy stuff Marvel/DC does just with a rightwing flavor I'll drop it. All in all I'm just not looking to be preached at in my comics, I don't dislike political themes but the lack of nuance these days has made a lot of stories very hard to read.
Sounds like it could be fun.

The guy had no idea PHP was a thing? Because that would be "coding with Carly" level of stupidity (I think it was Carly, don't recall for sure - she used to post pictures of her entering wrong commands into the Linux shell and pretending it was code while braindead followers who had no understanding on what any of this meant were clapping with both hands and demanding the keys of the city be given to her for her astonishing programming skills)
Apparently his brief analysis was shoddy, yet they keep trying to run with this accusation. It's embarrassing.
I’m interested but mainly by the other characters in the universe. I get it he’s a black dude so the main guy will be like him but representation matters and I’m more interested in people that look like me.
It’s like £40 so I’ll give it a shot
I bought cover B for Yaira
that Yaira character does look good, looks like a cross between Anime and a Jim Lee design. The art and character design does not really convince me to buy a comic.

My question for you is this... How many of those black characters were written by white men or women instead of someone that was actually... You know, black?
>nooooo you’re supposed to hate all blacks nooooo stop
>you can’t be optimistic about something you enjoy not being shit noooooooooo
Honestly I’m racist as frick but this project sounds pretty good and now I know you lefty fricks are against it, well that just sweetens the deal
The characters are so generic
That's to be expected.
It’s not even out yet, moron. And when was the last time literally any “indie” comic made a million? If you’re gonna lie about sales numbers, make it a believable number. Not even those Kamen America losers lied this hard.
... so is this just comicsgate redux or something?
Yes.
r/comicbooks banned all discussion of Eric and the Rippaverse under penalty of a permanent ban from the subreddit and the platform. Branding him and the comic as "Made by hate groups"
Wew, that makes it twice as spicy underground avant garde, it'll probably hit $2 mil now.
Why does Reddit hate black people trying to go independent and make their own business?
Same reason why Joe Biden said you weren't black if you didn't vote for him.. Liberals NEED the cooperation of minorities to gain any sort of leeway in this country since the Conservatives are typically more blunt with what they have to say and don't try to explain things in a complex manor, making it easier to secure the idiot vote.
It is a shame that Malcom X was probably the most morale and honorable historical black figure in American history and if he is taught its as an extremist.
leftism can't survive without censorship. There's a reason that soviet era commies did the same shit modern lefties do; like trying to erase and unperson anyone who disagrees. Modern leftism is a mental illness that is cured by rigorous debate and experiencing the harsh reality of this world (or in other words: touching grass)
And conservatism can only exist in unmoderated shitholes.
That's not the own you think it was...
He's right though. Even outside of the internet some of the most conservative countries on this planet are shitholes.

those exist post WW2?

Yeah bro, how dare he not make deals with large distributors to print and ship en masse from china like the two multi-million dollar companies. Good to know how much worth you relate to artists and writers, they better work for pennies if they want to get ahead right?
He claim that he made all of this by himself and is not asking for donations. If he wanted to be competitive he shouldn't charge that much for a book.

I mean, I think it's pretty clear that his audience is largely willing to pay what he's charging.
>If he wanted to be competitive he shouldn't charge that much for a book.
Alright oh wise one, where's your $1.4 million dollar product?
people shelling out 35 dollars for an untested writer's book is just more proof that people are sick of mainstream comic garbage; as if manga didn't already prove that, as if MHA didn't already prove that the superhero genre isn't dead, it's just that the western comic industry is in the limp wristed hands of a bunch of incompetent homosexuals and oppressed c**ts.
Are you aware the Japanese comics, Scholastic children comics and webtoons are extremely successful and cheaper? Marvel and DC also resale the entire arc of an old comic for 20$. I can't find any reason to spend 35$ a month when I can subscribe to multiple services and get more content.
Yeah you would definitely use that money to subscribe to services, rather than buy mainstream garbage comics, that's for sure. I think that was my point... it's almost like the western comic industry is fricking incompetent and creatively bankrupt...
>as if MHA didn't already prove that the superhero genre isn't dead,
I hate to break it to you, but MHA sucks now and has for a couple years at least. The only people that are still into it are there for the homosexual fan art.
Don't take my word for it though, check the threads on Cinemaphile and I guarantee there's at least a 20% chance the discussion will be about Bakugo's nipples.
MHA has always sucked
cmon Cinemaphile is a dumpster fire on par with Cinemaphile; that's not the point. The point is that a superhero comic/manga was wildly successful as a new franchise; and meanwhile the big 2 can't come up with anything new or novel and just turn heroes gay for good boy points. They're circling the drain just like shit oughta do.
>Cinemaphile is a dumpster fire on par with Cinemaphile
Remember when Cinemaphile was love? Good times.
>The point is that a superhero comic/manga was wildly successful as a new franchise;
Here's the thing. I agree with you that the big two is creatively bankrupt (and quite frankly everything about the rippaverse seems to indicate it's still more generic capeshit but that's beside the point). The thing about MHA is that it didn't have to stand on its own so it's a different point of comparison. Yes it took off, but it had the benefit of being in a big anthology book alongside a bunch of other more popular titles that held it up. If you were buying Shonen Jump for One Piece or Naruto you'd get MHA as a bonus. The west doesn't have that sort of publishing philosophy anymore. If anything we've gone even further away with these niche direct marketing campaigns.
I don't care about sales, I care about an interesting story.
>I don't care about sales
The anon you originally replied to was talking about how MHA proves that people aren't sick of superheroes, just the big 2 in particular, the sales argument is proof of that.
Look to be completely honest I don't pay attention to the sales argument because it's not applied fairly. When a woke thing sells one side says it's because Disney is faking the numbers, when anti woke thing sells sjws say its because the numbers are fake or its due to whales, both sides automatically yell that the other needs to take their meds and is making up the numbers, and in all cases the product is mediocre as frick and I can't figure out why it supposedly sold.
I think the market is not a good measure of quality, especially when our application of its impact is so inconsistent.
And I' m pirating 90% of this shit anyway they can all get fricked.
>If you were buying Shonen Jump for One Piece or Naruto you'd get MHA as a bonus. The west doesn't have that sort of publishing philosophy anymore.
this is a good point; but it's just more of a western mindset in general to try and strike it rich with your own crowdfunder than to pool your resources with other creators. There was an attempt made for a CG magazine but it fell through
The Rippaverse is supposed to have multiple running books in the same universe written and drawn by different teams. It's literally where the name comes from.
Like CrossGen?
Like what Mavel/DC does. They exist in the same world/timeline and they'll team up once in a while.
I do hope he's keeping his ego in check with all this hype. This book is supposed to be the launchpad for all the others, and I really kinda doubt the numbers for the individual comics are going to be this consistent.
I'm watching his stream right now and it seems like it isn't going to his head.
FUNCTIONAL
>I hate to break it to you, but MHA sucks now and has for a couple years at least.
MHA always sucked.
And it still sells millions of units every year, and is the 2nd-biggest comic series in America right behind Dog Man.
I still like MHA, Endeavor's my dude and he's probably gonna die. It has its issues for sure tho. The later arcs feel like shit is going too fast while simultaneously feeling like there's too much fluff.
Happens to all shonens eventually. I started college around the same time as Wano in One Piece and I got a degree while Wano still has a few chapters left.
Cinemaphile has shitty taste
Cinemaphile actually has better taste than the fandom elsewhere, since they're more willing to admit that the hype is dead.
it's true but it doesn't change the fact that they are contrarian

Bought cover b and a shirt because of this thread.
>EVS potentially gonna make a cover for Isom or Yaira
Action Comics #1000 sold 500,000 copies, cover price was $7.99 so roughly 40
million was generated.A mint condition Action Comics # 1 sold for 3 million also. Isom #1 has sold 13,000 copies currently and the reason they maed so much is the price of single 95 page issue starting at $35 a copy. not to mention these are pre-orders not sold at the comic shops under direct physical retail.
They any good?
ISOM stands for "It shits on Marvel"
This a beginning of another image revolution? No idea on what other indie books sell but I haven’t seen so many articles of other books breaking a million in sales.
Every book Marvel and DC puts out every week makes over a million in sales. Rippaverse is reporting earnings, not units sold. If you look at the number of backers it's actually so small it'd get any real comic cancelled before issue 1 came out.
the site has been up for 3 days
It can be up a year. It won't get 10.000 backers, which is cancellation numbers.
>It won't get 10.000 backers
???
Good for him!
rippaverse hat confirmed canon
but if he makes what we want, why is this a bad thing?
it's going to be meh. People are buying it because they like the person making it, not because of real quality. western superheroes comics are simply a played-out genre. You can't do anything with it that hasn't been done around 20 times before. Also the character designs look extremely generic. Any new universe launch like this misses the point that even without the SJW shit, western superhero comics are getting dunked on by manga for very good reasons.
I'm so confused by this whole thing. I've literally never heard of this guy before this whole thing suddenly started getting spammed here, how did he raise that much? The comic he's promising looks... okay. Like it seems like a generic action comic? What's the appeal here that's drawing this much money? Someone please, help me out here.
>how did he raise that much?
Well it probably has to do with the fact that unlike crowdfunding, you're not pledging money to then wait through the entire production cycle, and even then it might never be made. How many Kickstarter projects reach their goal and still get abandoned?
>open Cinemaphile
>first thread I see is a monster high reboot with troons
>the main character is a teen girl being played by a grown man wearing lipstick
>both go by they them
Please fricking stop doing this. I don't want anti woke media, I just want normal shit minus the woke cancer. That's the fricking appeal. Im a liberal, not a leftist. Woke leftists are racist and sexist, they just hide it until a black guy or a woman disobeys them. You can see it with all the morons calling this guy an uncle tom Black person c**t, and genuinely confused how a black character can exist without tokenism or automatcally being woke or a female character can be drawn without looking like a bawd and still be cool.
If anything good comes out of this is that it gets more people talking about leftist bullshit pc culture. The Streisand effect. Leftist screeching is how DeSantis got national attention. They gave him free publicity thinking most people would take their side when in reality, most people are against grooming kids in schools with qweer agendas. They mistake the live and let live attitude when it comes to two adults dicking each other in private to mean I LOVE gayS I NEED MORE wienerS TO GOBBLE.
Thats the appeal.
I started watching a few of his videos here and there back when that Snowflake and Safespace shit came out. I was still caught off guard by this Rippaverse thing. I see his videos pop up on Youtube a lot and then all of a sudden he announced his comicbook and everyone's talking about it. He's assosiated with that crowd Nerdrotic, the Quartering, Yellowflas, Ryan Kinel, Geeks and Gamers...ect
I can only take the guy in small doses though, even though I agree with a lot of what he says. His entire channel is dedicated to shitting on woke comics, movies, television and games. I agree with it, but I don't want to hear about liberals shitting up pop culture everyday.
The guy does know his comcis though, but I don't know if that means this Rippaverse is going to be good. I might check it out. Don't know yet. Like I said, even though I watch his shit now and again, I didn't even know this was happening until he just abruptly said it.
Hopefully someone storytimes it.
>I agree with it, but I don't want to hear about liberals shitting up pop culture everyday.
What if it were in overpriced book form?
Same actually. I somewhat agree with a quite a few of his hot takes. He just comes off a bit too antagonistic and mean spirited for my taste in his general industry blog youtubes. Not saying that as some type of snowflake gay, I just feel like he sometimes pushes the pendulum a bit to far in the other direction. And I don't like supporting stuff that's just going to contribute to the future swing back.
I am impressed as frick by him nutting up and actually producing his own original content tho. I can get behind anyone that just wants to follow their dream and fight for it
Do y'all think that a group of leftist want to kill you?
Yes
you said "y'all" which invalidates your point.
Maybe Alvin Bragg.
Bro, I'm a centrist, And I have been personally told by people I used to count as my friends, and still somewhat agree with politically, that I am a racist fricking nazi that just to suicide. The far left is literally fricking mentally ill fascists that are too cognitively dissonant to even realize that they are being racist as frick, and trampling on other's individuality and expression, because anyone who is not exactly like them is their enemy.
I should also say, I agree with those people far less after how they treated me personally, and I'm kinda starting to think I should just go all in and join the Klan as a lark. This is what the hyperleft is doing to society
Yeah bro, you sure do sound centrist.
Yes, yes, every centrist who criticizes anything that someone on the left says is actually a far right nazi, because as we all know, being a centrist means never criticizing extremists.
Save it.
No, I'm for serious. Plenty of centrists would join the klan as a lark to spite radical leftists.
It worked out for that Superman writer
I gone to college and I never lost a friend over politics. one of my friends that I hang out with every week watches Hasan and Vaush.
and what's the most controversial opinion you've shared with said friend, besides MAP rights?
I voted for Trump to troll my friends and family.
How many of your friends were troony uniformed antifa medics during the George Floyde riots? Because that's how big I used to pitch my tent, and allow people to be my friends
Yes, your sentence structure and grammar certainly prove that. What I'm trying to say is, you sound like an idiot and you wasted thousands of dollars in tuition.
Thankfully I've never been friends with far leftist types since I mainly hang out in gamer circles where the far leftist types tend to be annoying homosexual white dudes.
I thank god that most of my friends have always been Asian, I've been able to avoid all of this moronic political garbage IRL.
>I should also say, I agree with those people far less after how they treated me personally, and I'm kinda starting to think I should just go all in and join the Klan as a lark. This is what the hyperleft is doing to society
Its being over dramatic, but I agree with the sentiment. I live in a swing state and voted for Biden, but Im seriously considering voting for Trump or DeSantis come 2024. Im sick of Biden's troon agenda, and democrats pretending not to know what women are, and being told I should die or get raped for saying men cannot become women. With Roe overturned, I have no more fricks to give. At best this will halt the insanity, otherwise I can at least enjoy watching groomers lose their minds.
Lol what did you think the "progress" was towards.
Not that anon but for awhile I assumed that we were "progressing" towards a more open and free society in my younger and more naive days, but the opposite happened.
We just got a borderline-authoritarian technocracy but with a gay pride flag, where people will literally complain and try to deplatform some random indie comic because the dude who makes it is a Youtuber who's associated with other Youtubers that specific platforms don't like.
>Not that anon but for awhile I assumed that we were "progressing" towards a more open and free society in my younger and more naive days, but the opposite happened.
Hahahahaha oh, man. That must have been a rude wake-up call.
Well good luck surviving the collapse of civilization anyway.
>Im sick of Biden's troon agenda
What agenda is that exactly?
>and democrats pretending not to know what women are
There’s cis women, trans women and non-binary who were designated as women when they were born. You’re mad because you only want to accept an arbitrary definition of what a woman is based on chromosome or having an uterus or whatever else you come up with.
>and being told I should die or get raped for saying men cannot become women
If someone says that it’s wrong and they shouldn’t do it , but they are being accurate in saying you’re being transphobic for wanting to deny their existence.
>I assumed that we were "progressing" towards a more open and free society
>Unless that freedom means accepting and letting gays, trans people, etc. live their life in peace and not tolerating when people want to discriminate and disfranchise them, because FRICK THAT TYPE OF FREEDOM, I WANT THE RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT
I hope losing the midterms was worth it so that trans men are never excluded from the abortion debate.
Why is this such a big issue for you? It takes nothing away by saying trans men can also get pregnant. That’s a fact.
Parents taking their kids to a pride event matters to you why exactly? Because it hurts your feelings when some people aren’t bigots?
Kys pedo
>Parents taking their kids to a pride event matters to you why exactly? Because it hurts your feelings when some people aren’t bigots?
Children shouldn't be exposed to overt sexuality, groomer.
>Children shouldn't be exposed to overt sexuality
What overt sexuality? Dancing?
No, it’s reality.
>Frick off, you're not discriminated against
Republicans have written hundreds of anti-trans laws in the past two years. Texas literally wants to take children away from their parents if you want to give your child gender affirming care. These are real things that are happening but you’re b***hing because you feel insecure and awkward because you might need to be polite and use a specific pronoun. You’re an entitled butthole who gets triggered when people call you out.
>What overt sexuality? Dancing?
it's not gonna lick itself anon
So you’re triggered by a slogan on the wall that promotes ice cream?
the whole "playing moron" thing got old years ago, anon. No one is falling for the bit anymore.
>because you feel insecure and awkward because you might need to be polite and use a specific pronoun
Yep, either frick off with trying to tell me what I can say or I will gladly vote for your erasure and hopefully death.
I don't tolerate authoritarians, the only thing you'll get from me is a fricking bullet.
>I will NOT have the common courtesy to be polite, I will rather want you fricking dead
How I bask in the glory of the presence of a truly enlightened centrist.
>>I will NOT have the common courtesy to be polite, I will rather want you fricking dead
This, but unironically.
You will either accept my rudeness or you will die.
Take your pick, as trying to bad people from being rude makes you an authoritarian, and authoritarians only deserve a swift death to spare the rest of humanity.
So people have to tolerate everything you do, but you refuse to do any conforming when it’s a trans person? And then you get mad when everyone rightfully calls you an butthole. The narcissism and entitlement radiating from you is stunning.
Rowling is a terf and is rightfully called out for it. You are irrationally angry over the simple fact that people want to treat trans men and women like everyone else instead of raving how they’re insane and inciting hatred against them.
The government dictating what you can do with your own body is the opposite of government being off their body. Especially when the overturn of roe causes endangering of women’s lives when ectopic pregnancies can’t now be aborted until your vitals crash, or things like a red state saying to a ten year old rape victim that she can’t get an abortion, she has to carry that rape fetus to term because she wasn’t fast enough to ask for one.
>So people have to tolerate everything you do, but you refuse to do any conforming when it’s a trans person
Im already conforming by participating in polite society alongside you peacefully, in my parent's country they throw people like you from rooftops.
If you want to try to force me to play pretend with you, that is where my tolerance ends, because I do not tolerate authoritarians who try to forcibly change my behaviour for their own narcissistic feelings.
>The government dictating what you can do with your own body is the opposite of government being off their body.

Always a call to emotion, like any confidence man will employ to sway you into acting how they need you to act. You can cut the strings now, heck keep your pro-choice opinions if you like. Or continue being an absolute puppet.
>The government dictating what you can do with your own body is the opposite of government being off their body.

The government didn't decide what you can and can't do with the baby inside you, they said the states can decide.
Shame about that illegal immigrant raping that kid though. We should do something about that kind of thing.
The government took away decades of settled law because of ideological justices have a majority, and gleefully want to pretend the existing precedents suddenly don’t count because um, it just doesn’t. Having the right to abortion was a right that conservatives are now saying should be banned FEDERALLY, which was always their intent. And before they get to that point they want the abiotic to sue you for helping someone go to another state for abortion, so muh states rights rhetoric is bullshit.
i dont think murder is a right guaranteed in the US constitution anon
It's a states issue.
that's about as close to choice as you could hope for moron.
you're literally just mad that you cant kill more Black person babies.
>haha the government says you cant do this anymore
How are you different than the people who want censorship?
>haha the government says you cant do this anymore
yet... you still can...
You just said they cant.
Got any facts to back up this wild claim?
you can go live in your liberal cesspit and abort every baby that enters your general area at any moment you see fit. guess what? nothing "chuds" can do about it.
does that not sound... appealing to you?
Goddamn you sound just like the trannies who cry that their opponents want to murder them. Eveything boils down to wanting to murder people. Fricking moronic extremists control everything.
If you want to murder babies vote for it or stage a revolution. Your access to Degeneracy is not my problem.
Then why are you making laws to sue people who help a woman go to another state for a legal abortion?
So you want to kill every woman with an ectopic pregnancy and take away fertility treatments from parents who want children. And demy medication from cancer people if they’re pregnant. How “pro-life”.
>So you want to kill every woman with an ectopic pregnancy and take away fertility treatments from parents who want children. And demy medication from cancer people if they’re pregnant. How “pro-life”.
so you want to kill Black person babies and make sure more Black person babies aren't born and go to adoptive parents? how progressive of you friend.
I advocate for nothing but a woman’s right to choose. You advocate for policy that leads to the direct endangerment of pregnant women because you can’t see how anti-abortion laws affect people beyond your “frick you bawds, take responsibility” misogynistic fantasies.
Women don't have the right to choose to kill someone else.
Women’s bodies kill embryos all the time on their own. Pregnancy can be lethal to a woman. Why do you want so desperately dictate what women do with their bodies? Why can’t you just not have sex with women?
>pregnancy can be lethal
and drinking hydroxic acid can be quite dangerous too!
Less than 1% of abortions are due to mother's safety.
And now you want to endanger those mothers because it’s about cruelty, not preserving life.
cruelty ? you mean like sticking tongs inside a woman's vegana. into her womb.
dismembering the infant piece by piece and then shipping the corpse bits to a lab for stem cell research?
that kind of cruelty? or is it different somehow.
It’s a medical procedure. Do you oppose life saving surgeries? Life does not start at conception.
If it did, why aren’t women allowed to get tax deductions the second they’re pregnant. Why isn’t the father immediately required to play child support. Why does traffic law not count pregnancy as two separate people in the car? Why does the census not count every pregnancy as well? Why don’t you force every woman to regularly register proof of their menstruation and then closely monitor and dictate how a pregnant woman lives, eats, sleeps, etc. and give them all monetary support to ensure the life is born out of the womb. Why is infant and maternal deaths post-pregnancy so high in red states if they want to pretend babies are so sacred?
Are you saying you'd trade me less than 1% of abortions for the remaining 99.x being illegal?
to play devils advocate the 90% is non-elective answer.
which means the mother chose not to give a response.
if we dis-regard the ~90% and use the rest of the values to create the whole (its still a tiny minority)
I don't advocate for anything. It's a states issue. you are free to move to any state in the republic at any time you wish.
If you don't understand what great gift that is to be able to move around freely in this massive continent then we cannot have an honest discussion.
>The government took away decades of settled law because of ideological justices have a majority
Yeah you're right the government should never stop supporting something it previously supported, like slavery.
exactly! like sla- wha
HEY NO I WAS SUBVERTING YOU
Taking away rights from people =/= Giving enslaved people the basic rights to be free citizens
Letting states decide something is not taking away a right.
Again, see
It was never about state rights when republicans already talk about federal ban and already want to sue people in other states over abortion. Are you incapable to talk outside of talking points give to you by conservative outlets?
>Hypothetical future decisions taken as present fact.
You're free to move to a country more suited to your political sensibilities.
They’re not hypothetical, they’re policy ideas being already pushed, and Texas already allows you to sue for helping women get abortion in another state.
>Just move
Why don’t you move to where abortion is illegal? You’re the minority on this issue.
>Why don’t you move to where abortion is illegal? You’re the minority on this issue.
Don't have to, I won.
Yeah you're right anon let's get rid of federal power entirely and make it a states issue for real, don't want to be a hypocrite.
>conservatives are now saying should be banned FEDERALLY, which was always their intent
wow that sounds fricking crazy dude!
if only the supreme court would vote against that and make it a states issue!
>Conservative majority SCOTUS,whose newest members lied about Roe being settled law when getting confirmed, immediately rushed to overturn Roe when they got the chance will now just overturn a federal ban and leave it up to states
Nobody believes this. Don’t be disingenuous. If you already think abortion is murder of babies why would you suddenly think it’s up to the individual states?
>If you already think abortion is murder of babies why would you suddenly think it’s up to the individual states
Murder being legal in 25 states is better than it being legal in 50 states.
>Rowling is a terf
False
the dubs cannot even express your true power level
>What overt sexuality? Dancing?
Not sure but they can all suck my dick am i right?
>Why is this such a big issue for you? It takes nothing away by saying trans men can also get pregnant. That’s a fact
For all the reverence liberals supposedly have for RBG, they ignore the fact that she said that the strongest protection for abortion rights is to argue that it is sex based discrimination. Because only women can experience pregnancy. But we cant do that because "men can get pregnant too!" Your AGP gender feels is destroying the reasons to give women protections in the first place.
Look man I'm not going to let you take these kindergartners to the drag queen strip club alright? I don't care how many times you call me Hitler.
>FRICK THAT TYPE OF FREEDOM, I WANT THE RIGHT TO DISCRIMINATE WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT
>If you don't massage my ego and play pretend with me that's discriminatory
You can tell that a white person typed this shit.
Trans people can be fired from their job, denied housing, get assaulted, etc. just for being trans and existing. That is not something anyone loving freedom should tolerate. Same way harassment and hate campaigns don’t have be tolerated on platforms that say they’re against the rules.
>Trans people can be fired from their job, denied housing, get assaulted, etc. just for being trans and existing.
Fake news
Don't care, me not playing pretend with you is not discriminatory.
If trannies want to make it a condition of their existence that we all need to play along with their disorder then I'm all for removing them from society for trying to tell me what I can or can't think or say.
Frick off, you're not discriminated against, you're just a fricking typical sheltered narcissist who never grew the frick up.
Transexuality is a mental illness caused mainly by abuse. It is a disease with a 50/50 death rate. There's even a drug that makes you stop thinking you're trans, but you'd rather little kids cripple themselves with surgery.
Its mostly caused by porn addictions and online grooming. Its a social contagion, which is why it doesnt not need to be in children's media and schools.
Oh those definitely contribute but most of them were diddled.
Freedom of association is a form of freedom.
>objective reality
Coming up with
The only one coming up with arbitrary definitions is you woke fools
Roe was lost because leftists wouldnt vote for Clinton, and their priority now is political theater arguing that men and "black birthing bodies" deserve abortion rights, for likes on Twitter. Actually, roe was a boon because now dems have something worthwhile to fundraise off of while either doing nothing or actually harming women.
>but they are being accurate in saying you’re being transphobic for wanting to deny their existence
Since you're being serious about phobias, leftists spend their time sending women like Rowling rape and death threats because they dont want penises in their spaces. That's the transphobia, saying sex actually exist and matters. And everyone not a lunatic leftist knows this to be true and is attacked for it. You fricking think this rhetoric is earning you support with minorities or women or normal men?
> You’re mad because you only want to accept an arbitrary definition of what a woman is based on chromosome or having an uterus or whatever else you come up with.
You think a man dressing up like a fat bawd while he posts about making his newborn daughter breastfeed off of him, is a revolutionary definition of women. A woman can act, dress, and do whatever she wants. The only requirement is being female.
>Roe was lost
>Claims they want the government off their body
>Supreme Court agrees with that sentiment
>Gets the government "off their body"
>somehow these homosexuals are upset about this
really gets the noggin joggin
Checked
All leftist power structures are top down, by "failing to force" everyone to conform to their beliefs, in their eyes the government has failed in its mandate. Remember that prior to it being federalized you couldn't even pass gay marriage in California. Leftist policies *HAVE* to be enforced by a far away power that has no fear of the people they attack.
For a leftist, the government refusing to force people to conform to leftism is crime enough.
The government telling you what you're allowed to say, is not the same as simply having that freedom to say whatever you want.
they're not too keen on this aspect. probably requires too much thought.
Yes
According to leftists, JK Rowling is murdering people every day, so yes.
LMAO EVS seething last night that Rippa sold more than him. He was also crying and being jealous about Jeremy again because Rippa would rather promote on FNT
Why you trying to create false drama? EVS was just in the stream's chat and they were talking about EVS doing a cover for a future Isom issue.
Way to be a shit stirrer. EVS was in the livestream like an hour ago and talked to Eric about making a cover. Don't be a moron, moron.
>capeshit in 2022
Audible kek.
I have never bought a single western comic except Monica’s Gang and I intend to keep it that way.
I like Eric but I’m not giving him any money and neither should you.
There's room for both tbh. I read a ton of manga and LNs but I like non-woke comics as well. New Krypton, Superior Spider-man, and the first Spider-verse crossover were the shit.
>Superior Spider-Man
Opinion instantly discarded. Nah just kidding it was okay but Slott was constantly getting btfo by the writers for the tie-in’s and no one appreciated how it felt like everyone was taking crazy pills not to see through how SpOck was acting. It had some good moments in it though.
Much of the hate came from people literally believing Slott and Wacker when they said Peter was never coming back. I remember the story times and was gladly there for the ride while it lasted. It was an interesting run and made me waifu Anna Maria Marconi
Still going up. Getting closer and closer to 1.5 million. Woooooooooo.
>over 16,000 books sold
lol, he's going to clear 1.5 no problem. He had a moment of "WTF even is this" in the stream earlier when he explained that he was planning on running the campaign for 70+ days, and he's still only on day 2. He will probably clear 2 mill before it's all over, But he's probably already got most of the money he will make off this first book.
That's not counting all the extra swag that's selling
>That's not counting all the extra swag that's selling
Yes it is. Because it's counting buyers. Not items sold.
Well yeah but if you buy a book and some swag it shows up as one purchase.
Or did you mean it's 16,000 books plus extra merch? I'm confused.
Look at the individual item sales. 12.6k of the basic ass cover-A book. 3.4k of signed cover-A books. That's 15K individual books right there, not even getting into the variant covers and bundles
Compared to 1990's X-Men #1 selling 8 million copies, Rippaverse is still small
Have to go back to the 90s to dismiss this. Lmao.
More recently DC sold over 500,000 copies of Action Comics #1000, that's 35 Million compared to Rippas 1.5 Million in sales.
DC also has the unfair advantage of having fricking Superman and Batman at their disposal. Rippa is doing quite a lot with very little.
He has a niche audience with currently over 13,000 copies sold, and it's respectable. with the 1.4 million he just made he now has staying power and a runway to launch more material. He'a still a rookie in a league filled with veterans.
Action Comics #1000 had 30 covers
10 variants to all store, then rest were some form of exclusive to a site or store.
https://www.mycomicuniverse.com/action-comics-1000-variant-covers/
yeah and those variants sat in stands for a while or were placed in back issue bins for the customers catching up.
Technically he will still be small because his revenue includes merch sales.
Oh, I fully agree. That's why I hope he doesnt let the insane hype go to his head. There is definitely a demand for his content, but I feel like this first campaign is a lot of merch and swag kinda bloating the numbers over the raw book sales
That's fair, he does need to hit the ground running with this release to make sure he retains as many readers as possible for book 2. If he drops the ball in book 1 many might not return for the next part of the story.
Traditional comic 1st releases average $5 to $7 but Rippa is charge $35 for a 96 page comic which is really a graphic novel.
Numbers faker than the Hunter Biden leaks.
Riiiight. The average, stingy ass, 40 year old cunservative who watches grifters like this going to give someone money for nothing. Dumbass.
Imagine believing "leaks" from this shit ass site.
My ignorant friend; there's videos and pictures of Hunter doing everything he was accused of. Are you mentally challenged?
Prove it. inb4 DO UR OWN RESEARCH! GOOGLE!
why so you can get me banned for posting off topic/nsfw images? If you want to stick your head in the sand that's fine; but frick off this thread is about Rippaverse eating the woke mainstream's lunch. I don't think anyone has said it yet, so I will:
Get woke. Go broke.
Cool excuses, liar.
>WAAAAH WOKE!!1!!!
Literally no company has "gone broke" from "going woke".
>INB4 DIDNEY ONLY MADE DIS MUCH AND MARBLE ONLY MADE DIS MUCH!!
That's not broke.
lol seething.
So you CAN'T name a company that went broke. Cool. Cool.
Source; trust me, bro
NTA but Marvel did go broke once.
But that was way back in the mid 90s, the era guys like July are nostalgic for that were supposedly so much better because they weren't woke.
>the era guys like July are nostalgic for that were supposedly so much better
The bronze era was great and is what most of us are referring to, the mid-90's dark and tortured heroes were post-bronze era.
Cyberfrog was originally from the year the 90s crash started and that's supposedly the best of these comics.
Get Woke Go Broke
I'm sorry that you don't understand basic math and think 16k people spending on average $90 is a lot of money (especially when $50,000 of the revenue comes from 10 people who bought the $5,000 tier) but surely you're not THIS fricking stupid.
I'm sorry that you ARE stupid enough to believe anyone would spend on average $90 for a shitty comic book and a card much less 10 people spending $5000. People whine about garbage ass Vinyl Pop prices being too high.
Dude, the guy has a stream posted ITT (
), people were literally sending him $100 superchats JUST TO READ THEIR FRICKING COMMENTS.
Again, you are an absolute mongoloid.
That's not the average, moron. And that's nowhere near a million. Sorry you don't understand how big of a number a million is.
Another braindead mark.
>That's not the average, moron.
Hey anon, multiple $100 by 16,000.
1 million is not that hard to reach when you're charging $35 for the bare minimum tier and have multiple tiers over $100.
I don't know why you're so asshurt that this random Youtuber's indie comic isn't a complete failure.
Maybe you should take your meds.
I don't know why you want a generic grifter to have money.
My point was that his viewer count and follower count mean nothing. They aren't accurate and don't reflect the number of people buying anything. Again, fake numbers.
Take your meds.
Woketards don't buy shit, don't make the mistake of thinking everyone is like you
For 10$ a month woketards can watch a shit ton of shows and movies though.
It's literally just statistics. If he is reaching tens of thousands of people, there's likely to be at least 10 dedicated fans with more money than sense. This isn't hard to conceive.
It's not like there are bot accounts or "follow for follow" morons who don't interact. Oh wait.
Prove it. And of course you love that pedo shit show. Oh wait. You think not wanting to frick kids is "woke".
>It's not like there are bot accounts or "follow for follow" morons who don't interact.
What does have to do with the sales on the dude's website?
Seriously, take your meds my dude.
Get woke... end up broke like this homie's mind lol

>NON political
You keep saying this like it's believable, as if reactionary politics isn't the only thing setting this apart from the thousands of other indie books out there.
rent free
Sure anon, I believe you care about the rippaverse because it just looks interesting. After all, who ever heard of a story about a superhero coming out of retirement? That's groundbreaking.
don't care about the book, just here to listen to homosexuals cry
>Right wingers have to reinvent the wheel every time they touch pen to paper
>Now read my six hundred part series about a surly b***h who eats a lot.

I'd settle for one time.
>>Now read my six hundred part series about a surly b***h who eats a lot.
Moving the goalposts. I can think both things are shit. Maybe you should try it instead of defending stale garbage just because it triggers troons.
thats the problem these leftist fricks have created.
if you hate it you're in camp A if you love it you're in camp B. we don't have nuance or subjectivity anymore its all a bunch of homosexuals trying to silence the other.
>Moving the goalposts. I can think both things are shit. Maybe you should try it instead of defending stale garbage just because it triggers troons.
I just uhhhh.... Don't believe you? Sure maybe in the privacy of your mind you find your side's lazy dogshit tiresome, but I really doubt you're thumping your chest about it daily in threads.
>I just uhhhh.... Don't believe you? Sure maybe in the privacy of your mind you find your side's lazy dogshit tiresome, but I really doubt you're thumping your chest about it daily in threads.
Am I thumping my chest about it daily? No.
I'm ignoring it. Just like I'd like to be ignoring this, but people feeling the need to make a new thread about it every thirty minutes has pushed the threads I would've been in otherwise off the board.
there were 0 threads a few hours ago.
im sure there are anime troon threads for you to browse
>there were 0 threads a few hours ago.
Dude, there are five threads in the catalog right now. If you're gonna lie do it in a way that can't be disproven bt the printscreen button.
no there were 0 threads hours ago, i checked for like 30-40 minutes. you can look it up if you like. the thread that ended that gap was something asking about yaira
keep making up shit though, your doctor is making bank selling you meds.
Always some excuse why you never find it necessary to subject your own side to your rigorous objective and empirical standards of quality.
>Just like I'd like to be ignoring this
Oh please, don't kid yourself.
If you wanted to ignore it you'd just filter "Rippa" and go on with your day.
Come on m8, we're all autistic here, who do you think you're fooling?
's OP is intentionally avoiding the filter
And if you actually were interested in ignoring it you'd just hide it.
Or better yet, you'd just actually ignore it.
Being an obnoxious reactionary seems to be the thing to do these days so why should you guys get to have all the fun?
So long as you're at least honest about it instead of pretending that you *totally* wanted to ignore it.
Like I said in one of the other threads you guys killed a coomer thread of mine with this spam so turnabout is fair play. I'll help you get these to autosage.
>Like I said in one of the other threads you guys killed a coomer thread of mine
So, furgay or TOH/Amphibiagay?
Also, it's called bump limit, not autosage.
Maybe mods should stop deleting them and just leave one thread up? Every time mods delete them people scramble to make another at the same time and you get spam.
This thread is the one that's been up for hours and the others were still made despite it being up.
And as someone that lived through the brony years I gotta say that's laughably naive of you.
>but people feeling the need to make a new thread about it every thirty minutes has pushed the threads I would've been in otherwise off the board.
Wow it's almost like an indie comic just made a million dollars overnight, and there's a massive homosexual backlash about it on every site on the net where comics are discussed, making it big news.
It's almost like people talk about things that are big news.
Whoah.
>I'd settle for one time
Pick up a fantasy novel written in the last fifty years, Martin.
Okay but frick all this shit where's the coomer bait? That's what I shell out money for and so far it's all giga homies and a single mediocre wonder woman knockoff.
Am I just gonna have to stick to Cinemaphile still?
Do you want me to write you a vaguely conservative comic with big breasts everywhere, will that make you happy?
>Am I just gonna have to stick to Cinemaphile still?
Yes.
Western comics will likely never be as sexy as manga, unless you just read some of those indie western porn comics, but a LOOOT of those are fetish-bait.
And not good fetishes like lactation or leotards, but bad fetishes like vore and inflation.
>Western comics will likely never be as sexy as manga, unless you just read some of those indie western porn comics, but a LOOOT of those are fetish-bait.
I'm okay with that. Hell, I've written some of that.
To be honest the breasts would have to be bigger than you'd probably be willing to do in order for me to look past the conservatism.
>Maybe Amerika Kamen people join the Rippaverse
Doubtful, seeing as how there black people aren't allowed to be portrayed positively in the Kamen America universe. Wouldn't be worth it anyway. I'd rather fap to Tiffany Lords than her poorly drawn knockoff.
Maybe Amerika Kamen people join the Rippaverse
So when exactly does this comic release? And do we know when #2 will come out?
its 96 pages long, they have started the pencil and inking of book 2.
How long would the comic making process take for a book that long? Usually the big 2 comics release monthly, I think. And those are 20 pages an issue.
im gonna ball park 3-6 months.
but who knows. he will likely hire tons of people now.
Seems about right. They'll probably start branching out to work on other, shorter projects as well.
Personally, I haven't seen anything so far that I've found interesting about the book (never been a fan of 90s era cape art, and the premise sounds bland af) and that goes double for Eric July himself, but I wish the best of luck for the guy. I'd rather have these people creating and supporting stuff they actually like, rather than spend 2 dozen videos complaining about the stuff they don't like.
How are you homosexuals talking about abortion on a thread about a comic book?
slowly whittling down the leftist circular argument.
we calmed them down from calling a black man the hard R though.
Leftist programing demands every issue be conflated.
Don't like trannies in preschool? You must want to bring back slavery.
Went from liberals talking to leftists about how moronic and alienating woke propaganda is, to right wingers jumping in to cry about muh dead babies.
get dead coon.
Nobody wants to hear about your golden haired blue eyed toy
Every Rippaverse thread that maxxes out is a curse on the mods.
