    I've always said: "If you are busy with your own work you don't have time to worry about other people are doing." EVS is worried about destroying others so he can be the only one instead of focusing on his own work and getting it done.

      I bought a copy of cyberfrog for my brother because I thought he'd like the artwork and the character. My brother is immature for his age, my parents babies him way too much, I guess because he's the youngest. Anyway, my brother was 17 at the time and we got word that he was going blind. I figured the comic would show up in reasonable time while my brother can still see. It took almost 2 years. By the time the book showed up my brother's optic nerve was so damaged it wasn't worth looking at the book. After another year another copy came in the mail, why ???
      I stopped paying attention to the guy before the books arrived,, when he lied about Mike S. Miller tormenting his special needs son. Mike uploaded the full video that gave the full context, revealing Ethan purposely lied and showed a video HE edited to make Mike look bad.
      Ethan is a snake.

      Some of them are annoying personalities, like Tom.
      Some are boring one-notes, like Quartering and G&G.
      Some are people that sleighted EVS one time like Eric, Doug, and Yellowflash.
      Others are just all-purpose dweebs like Az and Edwin, whom Ethan just doesn't like in general.
      Or they're combinations of those categories. Easy targets.
      Basically, EVS tried to invent himself as something different than a crowd of dweebs, bores, grifters, and jerks by becoming a grifting super-jerk bore.
      That worked for a little while, but him simply pot-shotting his enemies makes his channel only appeal to one person...himself, just like Ya Boi Zack.
      I think, in the end, it will be the JDA's and the Sidescrollers who prevail, with their consistent, level-headed approaches.

      Biggest mistake creators make is not fulfilling in good time. That's why its a lot smarter to have the book almost to totally complete before you run a KS or IGG campaign- and this is where Eric July shines compares to YBZ and EVS, his shit is done at launch. That gives you that professional vibe like the big 2 do, I get that the investment is steep to run things that way but damn does it impress the customer on fulfillment.
      EVS is a great artist and have enjoyed his stuff since the HoH days but this recent constant attacking of others makes me think he's jealous of others success rather than honest reviews of the material. He went from celebrating more people embracing the indy comic way to thinking he was the king of it all to now just becoming another guy with cool ideas in development hell in perpetuity. Its sad to see him become the thing he was against so long ago. Him and Zack both seem to have fallen into that trap...

      I think it started when Dick Masterson put down Eric's Isom book. Eric really didn't like that, and he also didn't like Ethan telling him that Dick had some valid criticisms. Then, Eric sent Ethan the night letter saying that he didn't appreciate Ethan not defending him and for Ethan to get his sh*t together. Ethan got upset about receiving the night letter, and that's what began his beef with Eric July.

I'm not interested in violent "The Boys" or "The Authority" crap. I don't care about cybernetic toads or frogs or salamanders or geckos. I don't like cowboy westerns or Call of Cthulu and other horror things. The fantasy book about Rainbow Brute sounded interesting, but did he ever even finish that?
