    I believe the only way the Star Wars saga to continue is to totally scrap that Disney canon and have it rebooted. It's impossible to have Star Wars without the characters in the EU series. Imagine without Mara Jade Skywalker and son Ben, and even Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo in the Canon...

    My world was the result of the second method but with a twist. I call it the Uncanny Earth- an earth much like ours but with an uncanny history. Supers have been a part of history in secret in the early eons. But during WWII we began to uncover ancient artifacts like the Necronomicon and experiment with super serums to recreate superbeings. it isn't until we get to the 2000s that metahumans start to appear, and the age of the supers is reborn, but will the new generation succeed or fail, is up in the air.

    I think your criticism of Eric's work was way better than your criticism of him here like this because this criticism ignores the primary issue with Eric. Not that he's seemingly illiterate if you look at his Isom comics, but the reason why. I don't know if I can call him a grifter, but he's as close to one as they get. You see, Eric is a political commentator at the end of the day. He goes on his channel and he cultivates a fanbase talking about libertarianism and all that. And that's fine. I enjoy political streamers like Destiny and Vaush myself. But Eric's whole shtick is that he's part of that whole anti-woke grift machine. That whole "Woke Feminists have taken over Marvel/DC and are intentionally destroying comics in order to push their Radical Trans Agenda" thing. ComicsGate is built off that, TheQuartering's entire career is this entirely, every channel screaming about Woke Disney and Woke Snow White and Woke Star Wars and all that have made an industry off that, and Eric July is one of them. Perhaps one of their most prominent members. And so, with a dedicated fanbase of people who like him because he's an anarcho capitalist who hates the presence of queer people in their X-Men comics, Eric July went for the easiest cash grab of all time. Make a comic book universe, market it as "anti-woke", and sell it to people who think wokeness is a literal corrosive force to Western civilization. Look at his marketing. When he announced the Rippaverse, he didn't talk about the characters or setting or any of that. He talked about how Marvel and DC "hate their customers" (somehow for some reason) and he was gonna have a comic without "wokeness". He literally went on Fox to talk about how Marvel/DC are pushing a "radical woke agenda" and he was going to fight back against it with his own anti-woke comic. Not to talk about his own work, but to talk about how his work isn't Marvel/DC (the two most popular comic book brands ever creating some of the most beloved superheroes, and most beloved characters, in all of literary history). His whole thing was how Marvel and DC were woke garbage and he was going to singlehandedly revitalize the industry. You said all Eric cared about was money, but that's not true. He had a narrative to push. The Rippaverse was created to push Eric's political agenda, or at least to sell to people that followed Eric's political agenda. That's it. No love of comics or superheroes. No desire to put forward any authentic creative expression. None of it. Just to make money "owning the libs". Well, it's no surprise that Isom reads like it was written by a toddler with a crayon stuck up his nose. Because Eric July, in all the leadup to this, forgot to learn how to actually write. Do people attack him because they hate him? Sure. But they hate him because he's an abrasive, creatively bankrupt illiterate pushing an agenda to sell his bottom tier comics. He should thank his lucky stars writers like Chuck Dixon and the Soska Sisters came on Alphacore and Yaira to bail him out. Because eventually, even his own fans are going to stop buying his books.
