Just finished volume 2 it was great. Really looking forward to the comic and volume 3

He can't tell story in 25 pages.

You just declared cg was cancelled from c2e2 but then say support indies because they are not cancelable? This video deserves a response. Lol

Dog piles? Like what you all have been doing against rippa? Lmao. You describe it perfectly too. That’s NU CG.

Good stuff. Will be happy to get the full comic too!

Are the cards narrated by a mysterious entity that tells us something but, really nothing? 😂

Kudos to Hellhound admitting he's not good at debating, its always healthy to be self aware. Has the Rippaverse enhanced the Indie community? Maybe, its impossible to work that out, because it was doing fine before. If it brings new customers in who buy other comics then that's good. Though selling through his own website and not directly promoting others, that would only happen through osmosis rather than intent. However, "has Eric enhanced the Indie community" May be a better question...and I'd probably say no to that. The dude's into making money and that's cool, and as I said previously, I think every move he makes is about self promotion and putting more money in his own pockets. He's great at hype and flim flam, though on occasion it does feel like he's rinsing his supporters. Again, I can't say it's necessarily wrong to want to make money but sadly, there are times when this particular focus is to the determent of others, and could be a symptom of short term thinking. As a creator myself, and I can't necessarily quantify this, but something just doesn't sit right with me about this approach. Maybe that's more a "me" issue than Eric's. Honestly, comparing Ripperverse to the indie community is like comparing apples to oranges. It's it's own thing, with a different set of intentions. It may have started the same, but its gone it's own way. It's frustrating that I tend to agree with your points, maybe I should just argue for the sake of it and start trolling, so you could get a proper argument lol

Damn this is like the third debate at this point and B.A has yet to meet any semblance of T count from the opposition. 💀

Just once id like to hear from a rippatard that been reading amd collecting for more than 3 years. The second they say isom was theyre first comic i cant take them seriously because they just dont know, they dont get it.

My goodness these Rippatards are so dumb. Bless you for these debates but my gosh there’s little to no point trying to convince anyone. People’s brains immediately go to tribalism and supporting their preconceived ideas.

Idk, I can’t see how making money is bad 🤷‍♀️ you may not like the comics or the world or whatever, but at the end of the day, what’s he gonna do, stop making money? Maybe if other indie guys weren’t shit at business or shit at fulfillment, the scene wouldn’t be in this scenario Money talks. That’s the bottom line.

I don't see how any intelligent person can say the Ripplerverse has done anything but spread discord and division. You can argue about whose fault it is all day 'til the cows come home (and unless your answer is Eric and his chronic, habitual, and pathological lying, you're wrong), but the fact of the matter is the "indie comics scene" has never been more fractured.

A cult or personality. Not saying its bad to sell things based off of your persona, but its sad when people build misleading brands.

Thanks for the shout out, amigo!

I don't feel he has enhanced anything. His comics are not that great and full of errors and bad writing. His fans are pretty awful too, they attack people and then get upset and cry victim when they are called out. Some people have made funny art mocking ISOM and that is about the only good thing about it.

serious question: for promoting indie creators, instead of complaining about youtubers not promoting small indies, why not create a magazine where creators can publish 1-2 issues, or one-shot, and sell it to actual comics fan audience ? for ex the magazine could cost between 2-5$ (not expensive) kind of like in Japan where they have Shonen Jump, but instead, it's specifically to get creators out there in the market. Will it work with American public ?

Thanks for donating to Riley's legal fund

Eric July decided that day to reveal himself to be a know-nothing, and he will NEVER live this down, no matter what he does.

Both you guys are dumb, and dishonest, but I hope you're not a christian, anti rippaverse guy (i don't like the rippaverse btw, ai'm just pointing out who it is) because christianity advocates for redemption of any and all, regardless of christians being often double faced and pearl clutchung morons who say the messege of chrost is forgiveness until your personal criteria for immorality is hit and you do mental gymnastics about it. Not to mention that amazing stories like classical greek myths have tons of stories with violence and nastyness. And yet are capable of exploring the human condition more than you comic nerds ever will.

Long winded way of saying nothing, see you tonight buddy lol

I just stay out all together. I’m not trying to close myself off from anybody because I think I’m cheating myself out of some potential good creations if I were to be so tribal about things.

Indi books do not have the stereotype of low quality. They may have had it years ago, but there have been too many former pros who are in the indi scene for that to be a thing any longer. The new stereotype and why people dont get into indi books is that they take forever to come out if they ever do, and the stories may just be a one and done. The American comic market has operated on the idea of ongoing stories and following characters they grow to love. Indi books have a hard time doing that, as the creators seem to lose interest in their own characters way too fast, and want to go and tell some other story with a new character. Add in that too many of these books take forever to come out and many people feel why bother. The indi market needs to establish a reputation for consistency and punctuality, that is the stereotype they need to overcome.

🙃🙂🙃

You're a Snyderbro? Thumbsdown button, unfollowed, blocked! (jk I actually don't have a problem with Snyder's movies. I just like making fun.)

What I don't understand is ComicsGaters suddenly deciding they hate drama and anyone they perceive as perpetration drama. ComicsGate was founded and built on drama. That's the whole point of ComicsGate. Giving the middle finger to the progressive activist in comics.

The truth of human psycho-physiology is that we are genetically addicted to an attraction toward negative stimuli. Social media is virtual blood sports. What you are appealing to is an actual blood lust. If not directly involved with drama, as the cause or the solution, the only 2 ethical responses is to laugh or ignore. To laugh is subjective and either its all funny or nothing is funny. Those intent on actual escalation and being antagonists are serving their own agendas and it becomes increasingly apparent the deeper they go.

I only have time for the uTube drama - no twitter action as that space is something I choose not to occupy.

I like the new studio look!

“SuperKiller is 3 or more years late”…?

I can't believe Eric had the balls to call himself a creative 😂 Dude is such a Larper

EJ Can talk ALL THE SHIT he wants .The product stands for it's self! It's corny with weak ass art,story and characters. .If ISOM Was in your local comic store (be honest) (and didn't know who worked on it) would you really buy that book??! Really,especially for the price...He is basically trying to scare people away from crowdfunding. He's so afraid of competition. Petty little man!

Eric talks as if he’s an expert but only comes off as insufferable. I refuse to take advice on comic book business from someone who’s only been in the business for 2 years

Agree with most of your points and despite being a fan of Eric's channel, this video from him annoyed me. It's not helpful, its negative and aggressively condescending to all those who've been crowdfunding and creating successfully for far, far longer than he has, as well as off putting for any new starters. He comes across as arrogant, and I get the vibe of a snake oil salesman who invents a problem and offers to sell you the cure. Whilst maybe not Eric's intent, It comes across as self promotion rather that a genuine attempt to help. Sadly, he's also being disingenuous, nothing he's saying is new, his idea's and methodology aren't new. He's showing us the wheel and pretending he invented it. He'll be telling us that ISOM is the first black superhero next lol As you say ISOM sold because of the following Eric built up (and inevitable parasocial interaction) predominantly because of his commentary on the state of comics and pop culture as it was going down the toilet (a little of the right place right time too). Not to mention the repeated, and intense, promotion by his UA-cam mates (EVS did an 11 hour stream promoting ISOM #1). I don't say that to denigrate Eric, none of that happened by accident, he worked hard for years to build up the audience and create that network, and spent a lot of money up front for ISOM so took a big risk...its just fact. And yep that loyal following spent a lot of money on his comics, the packages and extras, and continue to do so, much as viewers spend $$ in superchats for FNT etc and its great that he's made so much from it. If he wants to do a video on how to generate hype, create an audience and employ other people to do the work, I'd be down for it and would be the most useful to creators, especially the promotion side. I'm just not sure he has anything useful to say beyond that, and I'm not really interested in listening to him put other indie creators down. Time will tell I guess.

This was a great review. That you made a list for your talking points is something I haven't seen many people do. You brought up things that I was oblivious to. Nice video.

'Making money in comics is easy, grift with right wing talking points, get funded by the Blaze as their very own Stephen Warren, take Glenn Becks money and make one of the worst comics you possibly can, plough as much of daddy Becks cash as possible into making a live action trailer that gets derided by the entire internet, make an animated trailer (released days before the end of the campaign) that no one asked for but say that you made it because eveyone was asking for it, and produce a new metal rap 'anthem' to relaunch a band noone cares about; all costing in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. All the while lying about 3D assets in your books, denying you denied their were 3D assets in your books and when criticised talk like a gang banger, use racial and homophobic slurs and dare people to 'pull up', it is.' - Eric july

New efap 👀🧐

YOU ARE NOT A COMIC CREATOR!!!! Nor are you making a living off your pathetic pre-order book!! He wasn't talking about you, you narcissistic moron.

Lol, you don't need to "read between the lines", you fucking idiot! He flat out said this when the video started!!! He's been successful and is explaining how he achieved success, which is why he thinks the people watching this should listen to him instead of listening to failures like EVS. This is just another example of you using words and phrases that you don't understand. You are a shit writer because you don't understand basic English let alone more complex and engaging sentence structures and linguistical concepts.

LMAO, herpes outbreak on your face. Guess Syphilis isn't the only STI you've contracted from CG.

He’s an Ancap. He has ZERO interest in helping anyone else.

This man is delusional. He's only made like 4 comics. He's not a legend not even a footnote in comics. He thinks he's that great he should put his bs "product" next to the big 2 and image and the rest. I believe he has mental problems and is aware he's a dumbass but wants to appear knowledgeable on "business" and wants to be "creative" and he's neither of those. His music endeavors are also generic trash

I love the rippapotamus pause faces

I love when Eric makes videos though I have a hard time getting through them, it shows what an arrogant idiot he is every time.

I wouldn't let this guy pump my gas. Who the hell does he think he is? Does he really have people that watch his videos for real? Thinking they will learn something? No way, i don't believe it. This is peak clown world here!

He is basically trying to scare people away from crowdfunding. You're his competition.

How to make money in comics... DO NOT DO WHAT ERIC SAYS.

Going in circles with these morons is brutal. I’m here for it.

Rippa endlessly complains about "the marvel and dc system is broken, theyre not making money" but every single artist, writer, editor. Colorist, office clerk, every is getting paid. Theyre ALL making money. Most of the product is cringe but nobody is being denied payment. As as for the low salary ot page rate, that goes with the low quality being produced. There is no high quality low page rate being created. Its appropriate page rate. And for every new or original part given to marvel or dc by their artists and writers. Every time there is a reprint, movie, video game etc, everyone gets paid again in royalties. Theyre literally making money. The whole "marvel and dc arent making money" applies to the fact that theyre making low quality cringe and not making the bank they used to make in the 90s and DEPEND on the vidoe game and movie money. But literally everyone working there is getting paid. People like Rippa want to gaslight everyone into thinking that Marvel and DC arent making money so everytime he talks about HIS employees, people feel bad and five money because they will think that otherwise everyone will be on the street and that somehow the Rippaverse is the only company out there that is paying their employees. Its all one giant gaslight after another with Chimp Bizkit.

Pepople LOOOOVE the title of indie because it sounds so cool and excuses mistakes and gives you street cred. But Rippa isnt indie anymore. He's fully corporate now. Hell, hes MORE of a corporation than most corporations in the same field. At least most indie corpos and indie teams are built of artists and writers. He's none of those things. He just jobber jabbers online and tells OTHER people to do the work to make him look good. Rippa has no idea why people trash him because hes an arrogant corporate nepo baby. When his band wanted to tour, do concerts, do rock band things, what did he do? Involved his MASSIVE legal arm with the Blaze and threw them out because he couldnt be bothered to do the most minimal ammount of work that music bands do. When he made the Rippaverse he took zero responsibility. He SAID he wrote ISOM but got a ghost writer. When he got criticism, he tried to throw Chuck Dixon under the bus by saying thay Chick Dixon actually cowrote it and if people knew, they wouldnt be complaining. Then what happened? Isom 2 came out and it was WORSE. Then he quit having ANY involvement in the entire project and just let everyone else do the work for him. Why are people supporting when backing the Rippaverse? Theyre not supporting an indie because hes SUPPOSEDLY made enough money to make a small army do his work. Youre not supporting an artist or a writer because he does none of that either. And youre not supporting an "indie comic book team" either because its all just a bunch of freelancers and foreign corporations doing the work while reaping zero of the benefits of success but taking 100% of the blame for any failure while Rippa himself washes his hands off any fault. Its quite literally WORSE than what those people said they were against.

I'll support sincere efforts in creativity over someone who talks a big game but doesn't put the passion into the art of it.
