Eric July is not perfect, and the Rippaverse has been fine to good so far (Alphacore was my favorite) but his success is undeniable. I’m happy for him, and I wish others (like EVS) could be happy for him too, even with criticisms to be had.
Yeah but I wish Ethan of all people including his his cohorts of Coomer gate What actually learn to take for better criticism then they try to accuse Eric of not being able to take
@@Ambusher1st What nothing these folks who accuse Eric of not taking criticism can’t take criticism them self it’s not a very hard process to understand
They are called independent comics because they are not published by the big two, It's a term that has been around since the 80s and it has nothing whatsoever to do with laughing at someone who spent a decade being critical of others who can't take feedback gracefully himself.
@@RarebitFiends No, I'm not interested in your revisionist history or your half-truths. Also the video said the exact same thing I did, so you can hush with that. You don't like him buy from someone else, I know you suffer from tribalism but you really need to fix that.
@@RarebitFiends Also he took Mr H's criticism like a champ and even thanked him for it.... So yeah the criticism thing doesn't really work for you right now. Again get your tribalism and hive mind, group thought fixed by a therapist or something.
@@RarebitFiends He's just not taking criticism from evs and his herd...He very much is listening to many other people...try thinking for yourself and not repeating things blindly.
He has pretty much admitted that the only reason why he didn't go at Eric July before this year was that he knew it was going to affect his business. But he has an enormous ego, and Eric didn't really think about the kind of guy he was dealing with, and tried to put Ethan in his place. Eric has never been cancelled, and never has had to experience group dynamics. He has been in charge for most of his adult life. And he is a libertarian. As a result, I think he isn't really good at empathising with underlings or peers. So he was unprepared for how his actions would affect other people. His UA-cam clout meant that he had a lot of confidence that he could win over everyone in his sphere. And it worked. The early 'detractors' were just people who were jealous, and could be safely ignored. Things would have been fine if more attention had been made to 'the product'. Sadly, after two expensive subpar books, and not having the grace to find out why they had poor reviews, Eric resorted to strong-arming people. Again, Eric didn't seem to understand people. Possibly he is learning from his mistakes, but he has already amplified his enemies, and this mess is probably going to continue even if he produces a book which is undeniably good.
@@markbertenshaw3977I think Eric's detractors are still just jealous and can safely be ignored. Eric is already winning by default he doesnt have to do anything except work on his company. All ethan's heel turn has done is draw attention to his late books and his really scummy behavior towards other creators. If ethan or any of eric's haters want to do real damage to him then they need to shut the fuck up and get to work on their projects. A day REEEing at eric is a day they could be spent finishing pages or packing orders to send to customers.
Of course people hate Eric, everything he drops is worth over a million dollars 😂🤣 people so butthurt about other people’s success, that speaks volumes about who they are. They can die mad about it.
@@bobbugwithoneeyeskingiskin8974 Nothing lasts forever SURE but many still will never have the success that Eric has had....Nothing wrong if his million dollar drops don't last forever...he's accomplished more than many who are bashing him continuously.
@@aeternafortuna1644 But with his “success” he has given the distractors of CG the weapons to hold up to the mainstream that we are incompetent and not a alternative to them! He have destroyed 6 years of fighting by many brave/talented and cancelled from the mainstream comic book Writers/Artists, to line his own pockets! CG has distanced themselves from Eric as he isn’t talented and anyone with a reasonable comic book knowledge would understand this! He has money but he hasn’t created anything with it, that anyone with clout would call art! Just watch that abysmal trailer??? He is to Independent Comics, what Kim Kardasian is to Women! Harmful!!!
@@eltonbormeshe’s too stubborn to die. He actually streamed the other day but he’s still going through a list of treatments but thankfully he’s doing a bit better.
I see no REAL reason to hate him. If you don't like his writing cool, there are plenty of other people that do, a lot of them are writers and old time fans.... If his writing is the reason why people hate on him, that's a terrible reason. Just go buy from someone else. 🤷
EVS is just mad because a "30 year veteran on the comics industry" is getting owned by a cat he doesn't think payed his dues so to speak... pretty lame really.
@@jameslove-vani797 His marketing is just fine. Four campaigns that made over a million dollars, and those are just the sales during the campaigns... Not including the sales that happened after they end.
Rippa has done more comic content in less than 1 year than EVS has done in the last 7 years. Especially now since he is to busy defending juju the cow, and vito the p-dough.
@@bobbugwithoneeyeskingiskin8974 Meanwhile where is EVS is trailer? I didn’t see a live action trailer promoting his comic for as much ass kissing as he does every time he got a credit mentioning him in any of these terrible ass DC EU movies I didn’t see any Hollywood execs or directors or filmmakers hit them up to make a A better cinematic live action trailer for his work especially those laid ass books😂
@@mattmetawolf8634 Obviously you don’t buy crowdfunded independent comics or you would know they all have trailers? As for Hollyweird backing EVS, you really haven’t been paying attention for the last 8 years or even been listening to Eric himself! He was cancelled by theses freaks years ago! He didn’t produce the films, it’s just his ideas and characters they stole and then screwed up for political clout! He was paid, because they have to! Read his comics with Geoff Johns to see what could have been!!! If you can read?
@@bobbugwithoneeyeskingiskin8974 Clearly you can’t read because again where is Ethan‘s live action trailers and not to mention he wasn’t canceled he allowed himself to be canceled no one to cancel you know not to mention Ethan is a freelance worker over there at DC so pretty much he could’ve still stayed working there and stuck to himself and they wouldn’t have been able to get him fired as for they stole his characters boo fucking hoo you could say the same for Jack Kirby‘s new gods and all of these other characters that were created by talented writers in the past . but again Ethan is washed up in a lapdog like you who basically listens to everything he says is all he has for supporter these days by the way aren’t you the same guy who was going with the narrative that heel versus baby face with some sort of sexual harasser ?
Sure, he's making thousands from superchat and frog comic reprints. Eric's poor response to feedback gave EVS the richest vein of gold to mine from his simps in quite some time. I think things had almost gotten to the point where he was going to have to start actually finishing up comics so he would have product to sell, but Eric saved his butt with that response to Masterson's feedback. Frog reprints have been flying off the ebay store shelves at a pretty rapid rate.
@@RarebitFiends well your partially the reason why he's doing that so wouldn't that make you a simp? I mean you repeat the same exact things Ethan says about Eric. 🤷
@@RarebitFiends Also anyone who takes Dick Masterson seriously is a joke themselves.... We all saw that review and it was pure gobbledygook and I saw him listen to Mr H, so that criticism reason is not going to work anymore.... Get your tribalism fixed.
Yeah, he does it for the money and because he's jealous. These people continue to use Dick Masterson as the reason why they do it, despite the fact he already admitted he hates all comics, and if you read the books and you saw his review you would think it was deconstructive commentary as well. Plus Mr H gave Eric criticism and he took it like a champ so.... They have no excuses at this point other then tribalism.
I love how his haters all dogpile on these videos to defend their terrible actions, and the reasons they give are just stupid and more often than not dishonest.... They seriously think that just because they don't like something that no one else does? Not only do they suffer from tribalism but they suffer from over entitlement as well.
@@JonDelArroz Yeah, tbh I had a feeling about that for a long time.... I've seen plenty of writers out there and not just you say that the books were actually well written and entertaining....Old as well as new comic book readers as well. They're obviously doing this for reasons they're not saying, I refuse to believe it's because of the reasons they give.
After seeing Mr Metokur’s take on this and giving props to July, I think it is time to put an end to this community infighting but unfortunately this probably won’t happen.
@@RarebitFiendsAt the cost of his reputation and the number of backers he could get in the future, he would rather create drama.... I don't know what he's going to do when the drama dries out and everyone's tired of hearing it.
I’m still waiting for snowman Evs is ignoring his backers. Ethan doesn’t give a 💩 about CG anymore it’s all about the money and not delivering a product
EVS looks like he is running a Ponzi scheme of starting new campaigns to fulfill older campaigns, which explains why he needed to do a crowdfunding campaign to afford to pay for a $10k ad on Camelot's car. Eric would just search the couch in his office and find $10k in pocket money.
This is what the Iron Age is all about. This is the time for independents to rise and shine. The opportunity for every man and woman to establish comic books of their own creations. Get to it people. Don't waste your time on drama. Go support someone with their comic universe or go build your own. This time won't last forever!
Yeah i don't understand the hate at all. It's pointless and stupid and all it's doing is hurting THEM, not him. These people are a cult of hate for his company, his employees, his customers, and ESPECIALLY him. All they're doing is making themselves look bad and they are actually attracting people to it and as a result new customers and fans. No one normal agrees or understands why they should hate him so much, and it doesn't help when they dog pile on people or channels who show interest or say they like it when they read it. Oh well, hating is all they do. Glad to see you are not one of them 👍 What's even more sad as they keep trying to say the books are terrible, I've read them myself I didn't think they were bad, and I've seen plenty of other people quite a few of them are even writers and even old-time comic book fans also say they were good. So some people don't like them, that's not a good reason to hate on him....at all.
@@jackiechun6540 absolutely that thing that Eric said diffusing them in real time as what he does imagine your worst enemy or at least what they perceive as their worst enemy a black man who normally some of these people are champion for it Sits up here doesn’t agree with them or take their arguments seriously meanwhile he’s shown to be more entertaining than they are more interesting than they are and overall more smarter than they are and they can’t handle it but instead of trying to improve and learn from their mistakes they’d rather go scorched earth
The absolute irony of it all is everything OP said has been said about marvel and DC. But then people get labeled shills. Now Eric is the establishment and the mega corp
@@spadedust24 No dude don’t try that false equivalency bullshit because you’re making yourself look more goofier by trying to compare Eric to marvel and DC especially when most of your crowd of cult members basically have no real reason to hate him other than he’s right and Ethan told you to
Yes LAST night EVS, Jon Mailn and Shane had a 1000000% pure Sales Jealousy RAGE Hate Bone*r Trash live Stream (4+hour) on EVS channel against Young Rippa's sales victory. It was completely disgusting and vile jealously rage. This infighting is getting out of control.
And Eric doesn't sit down and cry about "woke" every week for the past several years? He's just jealous of Marvel and DC, Hollywood and the gaming industry right?
@@guywholikesheelies3231 Oh shut up 🙄 that's nothing more than an excuse to attack him for stupid reasons that are not even close to the same thing. Get your tribalism fixed.
But everything they said was true! Now prove me wrong? People still buy cigarettes even knowing they will probably get cancer! Don’t blame the scientists, blame the people that carry on and ignore the warnings! 👍🏻🤡
@@MisterC86-fc6og cool then shut up about Marvel and DC, go watch every Marvel movie and don't say a single bad thing. If Marvel attacks fans it's bad but Daddy Eric is allowed. Talk about tribalism
@@guywholikesheelies3231 Eric is attacking his fans? No he isn't. Marvel and DC are mega corporations and what is going on with them is VERY different from what evs is doing to Eric. It's not even close to being the same thing. Marvel and DC have made it clear the people who have supported them all the years need to go away or bow down to their agenda not to mention the kids stuff that is bothering 99% of sane people. EVS and crew can easily ignore Eric since he is very new and their arent fans who have built his company. EVS worked with him and no longer does, end of relationship. He can move on. Eric is minding his business evs can too and put out his projects.
I don't feel bad for him. When I was subscribed to him I told him repeatedly to stop and just focus on his books, only for him to laugh at me and continue doing it.... He made up his mind, and now he has to deal with the consequences of it.
@@MisterC86-fc6og and as we've discussed, sadly european lore fell for his grift. Started attacking his fans too. I check back on his channel, I swear the followers aren't the same followers when I was a member. I told him I cancelled my membership due to finances but I'd actually cancelled because he started aligning with EVS and dunking on Eric. at the end of the day I hate drama, I support good comics.
i've got no beef with eric july. i'm sure there are some things that we don't agree on, but that's never stopped me from being friends with people in real life. i've not read his books, but i respect what he's doing and the success he's had. this whole thing lately about "everybody who disagrees with me is an -ist or -phobe" is wild.
I get why ethan has a problem with Eric they never really got along I think Ethan jealous of Eric pre-orders I think that's were a lot of heat come froms.
Yes it's generally expensive but if you don't mind not getting bags/boards or whatever I can actually work with you offline email me jdaguestposts at gmail
@@phandaal someone should’ve told him that Iron Age is not gonna let his ass in considering they gave keep anybody like him from being allowed to join not to mention he doesn’t believe it’s a real thing anyways considering he talks out of both sides of his mouth one minute it’s its own independent thing the next minute it doesn’t exist and suddenly now it’s a part of CG and always has been
@@phandaal That won't work. The Iron Age is a description of the era of comics we are in right now. Much like the Silver Age or Golden Age. It's not a group or anything specific like that. It's pretty much anyone producing comic books outside of the Big Two. Giving independents the opportunity to capitalize on the downturn of Marvel/DC.
People that spend money on comics, expecting to get a comic in return for their, will figure it out sooner or later. EnViouS can keep the youtube Stans, and Rippa will keep the paying comic book customers. That is the inevitable outcome.
Ironically, Kelly Sue Deconnick was right. If you don’t like Eric July’s book, read something else, or in Salmon Rushdie’s words, if you don’t like a bad book, write a good one.
7:47 from this book I get a lot of vibes of a bunch of anime I used to watch like bleach berserk a little Naruto, but more samurai Champloo, Inuyasha , probably a small a bit of Vinland although that one I haven’t watched
Jon literally recommended it to me over Twitter. I just headed over and grabbed a copy. Thinking about checking out either Cosmic Warrior or Deus Vult next. Can't decide. Flying Sparks looks like fun too.
Hear, hear. We are surrounded by woke enemies and Ethan's clan decided it's a good idea to attack their fellow independent creators. It's so incredibly infantile and petty.They never grow up, still mentally stuck in kindergarten. . I unsubscribed from him last week.
I love Eric July and the Rippaverse i've gotten all the books so far and I have enjoyed them immensely I don't get the hate at all. OK so what he says things you don't like and he's a little rough around the edges Get over it The books are good fun escapist stories to get lost in and follows some great heroes! You don't like his writing OK he's got other writers on other books try those. There's no agenda outside, trying to entertain and bring you joy what's wrong with that? If you crack open any of the books, you would not know he's a libertarian you wouldn't know Chuck Dixon is more right, leaning than others. They're just good stories. From people who love and care about the medium, and again, just want to entertain with good stories It's also refreshing to see everyone from Chuck Dixon to the Soskas sisters to Eric July himself hyping up and praising the fans And when it comes to the Eric July can't take criticism he clearly can Isom 2 is better than the first one. He cleaned up a lot of the problems his actual fan base, not whiny little bitches like his haters, but his actual fanbase had. (this was just a bit bit of event session. Thank you for anyone who read this I don't understand the hate he lives rent free in so many peoples heads They're just stewing and pissing themselves off. and it makes no sense.)
Well that’s the thing it was never about the quality or the writers or anything it’s the fact of what she said they don’t like what he says they know he’s rough around the edges and they hate everybody who associates with him including anything that he creates because they cannot destroy him because these people are on ironically racist I can’t even sit up here and make this up all things considering they’ve got no other reasons to hate Eric the way that they do most of them going as far as to call him the N-word with the hard ER some of them calling him a chunky monkey others worried about his weight his jock size his appearance why do you have to worry about that? you would think that these so-called peers or the tractors for the ones who make their own comics be able to walk the walk after talking the talk but nobody has prove that Eric‘s ideas or what he does is bad while Eric‘s ideas aren’t perfect they always have had room for improvement and I think that’s what they hate is the fact that they can’t be on that level of honesty they can’t be on that level of maturity because ultimately they fell into the drama hole.
I don't hate the art or the artists. I like both. I like Ethan Van Sciver's art, and I like the comic book Cyberfrog from ALL CAPS Comics. I like Eric July's writing and I like Isom from Rippaverse Comics. I can also say similar things about DC Comics and Marvel Comics, too. I'm still a fan of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc. What I don't like is Ethan Van Sciver's petty envy and jealousy. What I don't like is Eric July associating with certain people who he should be keeping an eye on because they cannot be fully trusted. I don't like DC and Marvel catering to soy woke S.J.W. crap. I am caught in the middle because of one side telling me to hate on another, and the other side calling me stupid for being a fan of a certain independent comic book creator. All this talk about diversity. Whatever happened to diversity of thought?
If the sisters changed I think we should give them a chance. Eric wouldn't have hired them if he didn't trust them, and he's not going to discriminate against their political views as long as they don't put them in the books.... And he already said that he won't allow political views in the books anyway so.... I don't know how much more clear he needs to be about that. 🤷
@@MisterC86-fc6og Yeah, Eric is pretty much going back to how things were years ago when many people with different views worked together and focused on their JOB not criticizing each others ideologies. He has said he isnt discriminating against anyone working with his company as long as they can do their job and leave their politics at the door. So whatever issue with the sisters, or other people thats irrelevant to him, as long as they can do their work. The person who he clearly shouldnt have trusted was EVS. And Im sure many wouldnt have guess how off or weird he'd have become. Ultimately you cant control other people only yourself and your business. He can do his best to vet people and crazies might still make it through the door, and sometimes the folks you think will be a problem can be great and surprise you.
Eric isn't telling you to hate anyone. In fact, he's been trying to avoid this silly situation from the moment that EnViouS started showing his true colors. When there is a disagreement, I like to go to the source. I listen to what Eric says, which is "I want to sell comic books." Then, I listen to what EnViouS says, "I hate Eric because he's more successful than I am, even though I think I'm better than he is." If you just listen to what both of them have to say, the reality of the situation becomes entirely clear.
9:33 they’re not gonna do that I guarantee it some of these guys were never comic book readers to begin with others would rather keep reading dog shit from marvel and DC or wait for their masters to basically finally drop product right after they make a live stream bitching and complaining about one singular successful black man being a threat to the in the comic scene despite doing more to help the scene compared to themselves who have stagnated and are hypnotized with hatred for him but I admire your optimism John
I used to buy all those EC reprints like The Vault of Fear, Tales from the Crypt, etc. I loved horror comics and 80s and early 90s Spiderman. I have a vaccum sealed tub I need to dig out from storage, I know I got the newstand mint first appearence of Carnage, first Jim Lee X-Men, frist Dale Keown Hulk, and a few other key books of the time....god I miss those days.....
I love reading the comment section of Comicartist PROcrastinator's livestreams. The boogeyman theyve all created of Rippa in their delutional heads is so funny. Hes basically responsible for 9/11 at this point.😂
No it wasn't. Nothing against 90s comics, I have a lot of them, and there's a lot of action to be had, but a lot of the art was about exaggerated muscles and boobs, which is one reason it was called "Bad Girl". The muscles and boobs of the 70s and 80s were still sexy but much more reasonable. And the colors were simpler and brighter. Just the opinion of one comics creator who grew up on Perez, Byrne and Infantino etc. Bronze Age 4 life. The early 00s had some great stuff too, btw.
Its just like J6.. a few bad actors infiltrate the space, and presyme to speak on behalf of fans, and whip the useful idiots into a frenzy(which isnt difficult)
All this is just Uncle E 's dastardly plan to try n pit comicsgate against Rippa, hoping that would affect his sales so that E could return to being the king emperor.😂
I read some comments from one of the clipped Metokur videos and it's like looking into an alternate reality. Have any of those people actually looked at Eric's videos or any Tweets? They have made a fictionalised version of Eric and ran with it, it's nuts to read.
2:35 don’t get me wrong John I get what you mean by the fact that the 90s had some bad moments but let’s not pretend that some of that darkness wasn’t needed it was and I don’t give me wrong it was lacking a balance of that lightheartedness that flex Mantlo delivered upon and books like it but there’s nothing wrong with the exaggerated styles or the complete edginess I don’t think it caused a lot of SJW takes to happen but I do think it basically speaks to a bigger problem of storytelling where everybody always wants to tell this story of a darker version to a light hearted hero when That’s not every character
I’m just curious , what part of yaira look fantastic. Like all the books you shared in this video look cool , I just can’t understand what about yaira looks great . Like ‘em or now all of the Rippaverse books have been mid to low tier ! If quality equalled success your books should consistently make a mill each time .
@@JonDelArroz I had a feeling you did because some of it sounded very familiar definitely continue to make money moves my friend if CG spent half the time getting their pompous heads out of their asses they would probably be just as successful as Eric by now or slightly somewhere near a fraction of his success
The 90's was a mixture of good and bad. Half of it was an extension of the 80's and the other half was degeneracy. Just to give you a idea Batman and Superman cartoon rocked and so did Spider-Man and X-MEN. Hurules and Xena great shows. Lois & Clark was other great show. Then there was Babylon 5 and the rip off Star Trek Deep Space Nine. Rap music got very violent. Also there same people that own the music industry own the private prison system.
They hate that he and the people he is associated criticize left wing ideology;it all stems from there,if eric was an ally of all the left wing woke ideology they would love him.
I got x2 from the ripperverse. The postage was so expensive, as it was for overseas(AU$91 00 for x1book & postage.). It makes me think twice about backing these kickstarter campaigns.
Not sure why people spend all their time talking about "pyramid scheme" type grifters on youtube. Watch and talk about something else. Drama is boring and childish.
People fail to understand the dislike for eric. Isom was people being picky and i think a bit envious , then eric’s reaction to legit criticism annoyed them even more. And with the yaira release and the soska sister collaboration and no one from his group calling out the message portrayed in the yaira trailer is making people question their integrity. You cannot create a career and a following criticising Hollywood and Amazon for inserting woke feminist crap and then you do the same at the first chance, it show’s hypocrisy at its finest. And if he keeps ignoring people’s legitimate questions regarding his collaborations and messages for lack of better word, it will get worse
Esto es real?! O el mundo se comporta como una maquina del casino?! Miles de artistas escriben comics! Pero de repente un artista de comics negro gana 3 millones de dólares!!!! Y todos lo miramos como si pudiera ser real el negocio!! desconfío de esos toques de suerte misteriosos.
This Marvel vs DC thing is just nerd team sports. Modernity is all about individualism, so this fulfills a deepset human need to have a group to belong to. The great shame about the ComicsGate vs Rippaverse thing is that it is really the creation of two enormous egos. I hope it isn't affecting individual ComicsGate people. It is particularly annoying that people have been asked to 'take a side'. Yesterday, both Jon del Arroz and Shane Davis said they had angry people after them expecting them to be anti and pro Rippaverse respectively. Whilst a lot of entertainment has been generated from this, it can't be good for business.
For the most part Eric hasn't been VS with anyone he is just focused on his business...other people though, need to find something else to do with their time.
This whole thing is ENTIRELY one-sided. When EnViouS stops, it's over. But he's not going to do that, because then his sycophants will go back to asking him where their 2-year-late comics are.
@@MrMagnaniman I disagree with your opinion. This is nothing to do with envy. It is ego. EVS is a lifelong comics professional; Eric is an amateur who has bought into the comics world with his UA-cam money. EVS has no respect for Eric's ability, and has standards which are a lot higher than Eric's - he even considers a lot of his old work as 'shit'.
@@markbertenshaw3977 Really? Because he had tons of respect for Eric's ability when he was making a cover Isom #2. I'm just not sure which EVS I should believe. What I have no respect for are people that talk out of both sides of their mouth. The reality is that EnViouS was 100% on board with the Rippaverse until Eric started hiring artists and writers that are more talented than EnViouS has ever been. He thought that he was somehow entitled to something from Eric, and tried to flex on him, and it backfired. So, now, he's doubling down on his childish jealousy.
@@MrMagnaniman He did it for the money. And if you think that Cliff Richards is in the same league as EVS, you are wrong. Joe is closer. The woman on Yaira is not good. Cainan White is pretty good - on the same level.
I sont hate Rippa. I just hate the hypocrites that would have eviscerated Disney/Marvel or DC had they put out a trailer this bad whether an ad for a comic or movie. Same with those that use to review comics. The quality is bad. The price points of packs are higher than if you bought individuals. Deep discounts on product that was originally exclusive to another product. In the end the man does put out product but that product has no soul. The classic phrase is easily applicable here: a fool and his money are easily parted.
How do you know that those close to him with platforms didint tell him something behind closed doors. A good friend would not kill the momentum of the campaign by publicly shitting on their friend. Disney is nobody’s friend so it doesn’t have to be behind closed doors with Disney.
@@JonDelArrozJon backs Trailer as masterpiece! 😂 Come on Jon that advert for that Lesbian with a accent from countries as diverse as Russian, Poland, Scotland, Canada… etc! Was plain embarrassing! If you really want to be respected, you need to speak up! Your credibility is on the line! Or have you sold your integrity to a distribution company?
And what I expect is some integrity like others had on Stealing Solo by WCBS first release. No one was afraid to call that out when it was in their backyard but Eric can do no wrong? Also, not about you JDA but more about the FNT crew! They have become the New G4 minus Frosk! As for the trailer Mr. H hit all the bullet points except I wouldnt compare it to CW because that is too much credit but more like some 90's kid's home movie.
"It's away from the corporate culture of satanism" - Jon...Do you have an opinion about the Soska sisters? Did Eric July bill himself as a Christian opposed to that corporate culture of satanism? And if he did, is it hypocritical of him to work with the Soskas? This is not a gotcha question. I really am not that familiar with Eric July or the Soskas. If he is Christian and they are torture porn/horror film makers who promote satantic imagery, is that not a conflict?
@@JonDelArroz Maybe you could make a video essay explaining that they are Catholic. Because all that I have seen seemingly shows otherwise. Including the recent making of Yaira trailer video where one of the sisters claimed we should be moral but not out of fear of divine judgement.
@@ravenwulfgar Oh, I know. The origin of the problem is that Eric didn't hire EnViouS to make a Rippaverse title, obviously because Eric values his word to his customers about timely delivery. I just feel bad for all the people that got suckered into paying for All Cap Comics that will never be delivered.
No one hates Eric - we're here to lift up our brothers in the comic space. When they stumble, or even when they dive deep into the foul swamps of degeneracy, we can say a prayer and help them find the path back to Jesus. XD. Keep your rile by your side.
I don't hate Eric July or his fans. And I never troll them or try to ruin anyone else's fun. But I have to admit that watching EVS taking Rippa's books & public statements apart on a molecular level has been fun. Eric July made a very big mistake when he made an enemy of EVS. Mostly because Ethan is smart & entertaining while Eric is not. I dont see what the big deal is. Ethan's making money. Eric is making money. And both sets of fans have something to talk about.
Most of those fans used to be the same people. Then EnViouS started talking trash because his victims started wondering why he was 2 years late on his delivery dates while Eric was delivering all of his books exactly when he said he would.
@@phandaal For Eric's part, I think he's entirely content with letting EnViouS keep the youtube stans in exchange for getting to keep the paying comic book customers.
I am happy for someone being successfully, but not taking criticism and using the 3-D assets for art at a steep price is what got the controversy/“hate” going. I guess hiring the Soska Sisters supposedly attracted some negative reactions too. Drama, drama, drama… sigh :(
One reason why I don’t trust the Soskas is because: 1, Pedo jokes in a black van 2, Worked with a filmmaker (who was an alleged creep with 13-15-year-old girls on Facebook think Dahvie Vanity-level shit) who actually filmed a girl who was coming down off of heroin in those recorded clips. That heroin girl got shot to death years after those “horror films” were made. 3, The sisters got caught in some adult-related sites doing incest porn I don’t fully trust them in my opinion. But take almost all people in caution when buying any form of comic.
He can pick and choose who to take criticism from...and evs and crew isnt it...These are some SERIOUSLY weak things for peopel to be going on him for like derranged nuts.
@@aeternafortuna1644 he can pick and choose, but better have tough skin, because no matter how good or bad a product is there will always be criticism. He acted the same way that he’s criticized sjws for being when confronted with criticism. I wish EVS and July all the best, but this drama in the comics industry (whether it’s indies, CG or the DC/Marvel-Mid 2) is getting old and useless
@@aeternafortuna1644those “deranged nuts” are what helped him get the attention to what he was trying to put forth. Like him or hate him(yes I get it), but EVS has over 30+ years of experience in comics. Many of these guys are UA-camrs that are transitioning to comics as opposed to comics experts transitioning to indie go go and YT. These comic experts have knowledge. Good to pick their brain and take notes. Yes, he can choose what critiques he wants to listen to, but if he only listens to those pat him on the back and tell him what he wants to hear then it it’s not going to make him better. They all need to stop their drama, shake hands and move on. It’s a business, not high school.
Its more about quality and overpricing but sure lets pretend that doesn't matter, the state Eric's marketing choices with lack of information and flipping on the more conservatives audience he marketed towards . The ingenuine passion to create art for them rather placate them with platitudes and setting his shit crew on any critics like WC2.0 and er mentioned Satanism? lol ok then. You believe the Sisters found god and arnt woke or are they all just farming the conservative kids now with a gift? I myself don't like it because i find it corpo and souless with no real substance or belief behind what it is he says it is. It is. Your stuffs great and that sounds like a cool story, your right other things are available but the raisons for dislike are valid. ^_-
You are a good example of tribalism.... Not to mention out-of-date info that doesn't happen anymore. If you don't like his comics, buy from someone else.
And you're still going by quality? Another words just because you don't like it no one else should....good to know 🙄 also the price is just fine, there are books out there with half as many pages that cost more than that.
I just don't get it. Lets say he is doing everything You say....yet his fans are happy and his new comic just made a cool million in record time. Why do You care as the majority of his fans are happy why in the f**k should anyone listen to You? If You don't like it don't buy it, that BS EVS is pushing against EJ about him being against crowd funding is distraction and fear, he is trying to distract his simps for his late books and he is jealous and afraid of losing his "emperor of comics" fantasy. If EVS and his jolly are so sure their way is the right way then why the fear of EJ's system...if is so fragile then maybe it deserves it's fate. If CG is so weak what value does it truly have? I say let them compete and let the best system win, but no EVS is almost hypocritical on this issue and I used to be a huge EVS fan but I am on the brink of unsubing and unfollowing him. EJ is not innocent in this either and I have been super critical of his art and story, but EVS's new alliances with scum like Dick**d Mastersonofab*tch and Vedo the P*d0 Lover and Mint Nutsalad and that f*t freak Riley is too much and I have almost completely lost interest in EVS's little freak show with him as a carnival barker.....so stupid!
Yaira is $25 for 90 pages. Isom #1 and #2 were $35 for 90+ pages... which would each be the equivalent of 2 40+ page books from EVS at $25 each. So, for $50+ double the shipping (2 books rather than 1 combined issue) you can get the same content length as $35 plus shipping (for the earlier books) or $25 plus shipping for all Rippaverse books going forward. But I am sure that you are going to pretend anything over Eric paying you to own his comics is overpriced.
I don’t care about July either way since I saw his first go-to during the Rekieta beef was to go with racial epithets, that’s the SJW playbook in my eyes and Isom were of “uneven quality”, let’s say that. That said I just don’t read them and I rather see that Lunar Cricket take peoples money instead of the mainstream. Regarding Jon, he has been quite consistent in not striking to the Right since the election so he’s not changed his behavior. Edit: The first part is a joke(for the less gifted that may sound this out).
It really isn’t a matter of opinion, Rippaverse comics are average at best in story sub-par in art, and overpriced even for a comic-gate type indie comic. So many strikes against the Rippaverse even before you get to the biggest strike of all Eric July himself.
If you go and buy a comic from someone that's never written anything before then common sense should tell you its probably not gonna be that great. I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for people that don't have simple common sense. If anyone actually purchased a Rippaverse book thinking it was gonna be great (You know like your daddy EVS said it was gonna be for over a year) then its on them for not having simple common sense.
Jay you're the biggest Ethan ball gobbler. You simped for KatyDidDogs, but you were fine with attacking the Soskas got but not Katy. The only person drama farming has been Ethan, stop gobbling fool LMFAO 🐕🐕🐕💄🚀💄🚀💄.
@@The8BitChampionI bought Isom 1, I thought it was good. Isom 2 I thought was better, and Isom 3 I'm smart enough to realize that both the stories are going to lead up to the third and final part. And I've seen way too many people also agree that it was good including writers and old-time comic fans. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no one else will. It has an 80s or 90s nostalgia and I enjoy that. Sorry, but that's just how it goes.
I don't hate eric and i don't understand why people hate him but i will say i am very disappointed of him. He did some good music and his podcast and politically commentaries was great, but his comic isn't that good and he doesn't see what is wrong with it.
Saying something "isn't that good" or is "bad" is empty criticism. You need to identify what specifically is bad about it. People like you never bother with specifics on what was good or bad about the comics, because you didn't read it or simply don't care and simply want to hate on Eric while pretending to be a fan of his other stuff.
@@truthedministry the characters design changes like in every pages. In isom 2 the main villain looks like a pig. The flash back stories in isom one didn't have any important to it. In one panel when he punch blood out a dude chest the same dude was okay literally in the next panel. The fighting in it feels like there no weights to it. The reasons he doing what he doing is cause of a favor that he went back on and didn't even rescued his not niece.
@@junebug4004 OK, so you didn't read the books at all then. You are just parroting baseless criticisms from EVS without ever actually reading the books. Why am I not surprised? What "main villain"? There was Chadran from Isom's flashback story, not the main villain. Darren, who doesn't look like a pig. And then the Hellians and their chief. I would guess that you mean Chadran, but you must terrified of bacon if you think that is what pigs look like. Inconsistent faces are a common occurrence in all comics. Especially in the first few issues before a consistent art style is pinned down. This applies to Manga, Anime, and western cartoons as well. You can see a drastic change in the art style and face consistency of many animated shows with multi-million dollar budgets. There weren't any flashback stories in Isom #1, that was Isom #2. The dude wasn't "okay" in the next panel, he was curled in the fetal position holding his ribs. The projectile blood came out of the dude's mouth from the previous hit, not his skin, but there was either blood or bruising where Isom punched him. Weights as in stakes? Or Weights as in they appear to be floating? Either way you are incorrectly repeating what EVS claims were failings in the books. You can compare panels of Cyberfrog side-by-side with Isom #1 and you will see panels where the characters seem to be suspended in the air because the panel shows them in the middle of a jump or punch or some other sort of action where since comics aren't moving pictures, have to use your mind to imagine the action between panels. This is not something specific to Isom, but that you will see in almost every comic even back in the 1950s. Avery didn't go back on the favor as he found Jasmine and reported that back to Altona in Isom #1. She asked him to find her and he did. Favor completed. Going back to stop Darren, punish him for harming Altona, and then saving Jasmine from whatever she's involved in are things Avery decided to do for himself.
Yeah, he, uh, sucks. I don't hate him, he's right when he used to talk about politics and culture in media but he's not good at what he's doing in regards to writing. Everyone defending him only defend him because they want to share the dough or publicity or they share his beliefs. If you actually read it and like it good for you but people freak out when you criticize him or his business. Oh and the worst part is the hypocrisy
We don’t hate him, as his content is hilarious! Especially that Trailer! That was a masterpiece of cringe and I actually felt sympathy for the people that supported him! All my media friends thought it was done as a joke! Was it???
@@keithbk WOW! Eric fans have now turned into everything he has fought for years! Using race as a weapon is everything he hates! Congratulations! You have lost this battle now! 🐥🤣🤡
I dont hate him. I appreciate what he is trying to do, but he has to try harder. Isom 1 was mediocre at best and Isom 2 wasn't any better. Alphacore was a disappointment despite Chuck Dixon. I am not even going to try Yaira. That shitty ass trailer turned me off. I might give it a whirl when he has that for five bucks like his other books.
No chance in literal hell JDA believes any of this. He's taking the piss, either to get in on the Rippaverse/Zerosphere wave for promotion or to just straight up troll.
It's not hate, it's colossal disappointment. I was hoping that Eric July would counteract woke culture by providing genuinely high quality comics. But it turns out that he acts just like the SJWs he's complained about for years, and produces low-grade content that's just as bad, if not worse. I noticed that long before EVS started pointing it out and wondered why no one was calling Rippa out about it. I'm glad that Mr. H is finally starting to notice too.
I mean he's never written ANYTHING before. What were you expecting from someone that's never written anything cause I was expecting it to be bad. Am I just smarter than everyone else cause I was just thinking it was simple common sense?
@@JonDelArroz See, this is what I'm talking about. What's with the snarky response? That's typical woke spite which deliberately dodges the point. I didn't insult anyone in calmly pointing out the specific problem that people have with Eric July, which is that he's a hypocrite that causes the same problems as the SJWs he used to complain about. I've also noticed that he's responded to the slightest criticism, bullying the smallest nobody accounts, with excessive vitriol, just like an SJW. And his fans have taken up that poisonous behavior as well. How have so few noticed that wokeness was never about the far left ethos that SJWs claimed to fight for, but rather it was about deeply disturbed people using those politics as an excuse to revel in spitefulness? And it's not just Rippa, but many in the FNT and Geeks & Gamers circle. I noticed years ago, long before EVS started calling them all out, that they all act very much like the woke lunatics they complain about. Take the political positions away and Rippa, Jeremy Griggs, Az, Ryan Kinel, etc. all act very much the same as SJWs, as do their most zealous fans. _That's_ the problem with Rippa and the rest of them. The low-quality comics are merely a symptom, a side-effect, of that larger problem of spiteful egomania that they're perpetuating.
Eric is just scamming his followers. $35 for a book then drop it to $5 , asking ppl to give him $100!to be part of a group to get discount but then give anyone 70%off . He is there just for the money he doesn't care about his fans at all. Then hire 2 woke women and make a woke trailer all he use to criticize he do it. Can't stand this guy.
Hope you'll read Overmind for $25 a book or $10 if you just want it digitally -- 3 full issues in length the digital is less than you'd pay for a marvel/dc comic!
Some people in this space are acting like what they say they hate Sjw’s for super-chats and not finishing there late books
Yep, they never give any good reasons, and the reasons they give are unrealistic and stupid and more often than not dishonest.
Who hates SJWs for super chats? Are SJWs not getting books out? None of what you said makes sense.
@@pinktastic6159 Yes it did, and I know you see what he's getting at. Being disingenuous just makes you look bad not him.
Eric July is not perfect, and the Rippaverse has been fine to good so far (Alphacore was my favorite) but his success is undeniable. I’m happy for him, and I wish others (like EVS) could be happy for him too, even with criticisms to be had.
Yeah but I wish Ethan of all people including his his cohorts of Coomer gate What actually learn to take for better criticism then they try to accuse Eric of not being able to take
@@mattmetawolf8634 What?
@@Ambusher1st What nothing these folks who accuse Eric of not taking criticism can’t take criticism them self it’s not a very hard process to understand
Also i agree. If they don't like it there is PLENTY of other people to go support.... it's called "independent comics" for a reason.
They are called independent comics because they are not published by the big two, It's a term that has been around since the 80s and it has nothing whatsoever to do with laughing at someone who spent a decade being critical of others who can't take feedback gracefully himself.
@@RarebitFiends No, I'm not interested in your revisionist history or your half-truths. Also the video said the exact same thing I did, so you can hush with that. You don't like him buy from someone else, I know you suffer from tribalism but you really need to fix that.

Ethan made a calculated move to attack Eric but man is he bad at math
Am I the only one who thinks Ethan is a sloppy artist?
@@keithbk Probably: That page with the mirror image coming off of cyberfrogs augments is just "chef's kiss".
@@keithbk I think Ethan is a fantastic artist personally. But he loves drama more than Thanos loves Death.
He has pretty much admitted that the only reason why he didn't go at Eric July before this year was that he knew it was going to affect his business. But he has an enormous ego, and Eric didn't really think about the kind of guy he was dealing with, and tried to put Ethan in his place. Eric has never been cancelled, and never has had to experience group dynamics. He has been in charge for most of his adult life. And he is a libertarian. As a result, I think he isn't really good at empathising with underlings or peers. So he was unprepared for how his actions would affect other people. His UA-cam clout meant that he had a lot of confidence that he could win over everyone in his sphere. And it worked. The early 'detractors' were just people who were jealous, and could be safely ignored. Things would have been fine if more attention had been made to 'the product'. Sadly, after two expensive subpar books, and not having the grace to find out why they had poor reviews, Eric resorted to strong-arming people. Again, Eric didn't seem to understand people. Possibly he is learning from his mistakes, but he has already amplified his enemies, and this mess is probably going to continue even if he produces a book which is undeniably good.
@@markbertenshaw3977I think Eric's detractors are still just jealous and can safely be ignored. Eric is already winning by default he doesnt have to do anything except work on his company. All ethan's heel turn has done is draw attention to his late books and his really scummy behavior towards other creators. If ethan or any of eric's haters want to do real damage to him then they need to shut the fuck up and get to work on their projects. A day REEEing at eric is a day they could be spent finishing pages or packing orders to send to customers.

I see no REAL reason to hate him. If you don't like his writing cool, there are plenty of other people that do, a lot of them are writers and old time fans.... If his writing is the reason why people hate on him, that's a terrible reason. Just go buy from someone else. 🤷
Because he was insulting customers who paid for his books and believed in him

but again Ethan is washed up in a lapdog like you who basically listens to everything he says is all he has for supporter these days by the way aren’t you the same guy who was going with the narrative that heel versus baby face with some sort of sexual harasser ?

EVS went from doing covers for Rippa to Episode 35 and hour 100+ of crying about him LOL
Sure, he's making thousands from superchat and frog comic reprints. Eric's poor response to feedback gave EVS the richest vein of gold to mine from his simps in quite some time. I think things had almost gotten to the point where he was going to have to start actually finishing up comics so he would have product to sell, but Eric saved his butt with that response to Masterson's feedback. Frog reprints have been flying off the ebay store shelves at a pretty rapid rate.
@@RarebitFiends well your partially the reason why he's doing that so wouldn't that make you a simp? I mean you repeat the same exact things Ethan says about Eric. 🤷

Yeah, he does it for the money and because he's jealous. These people continue to use Dick Masterson as the reason why they do it, despite the fact he already admitted he hates all comics, and if you read the books and you saw his review you would think it was deconstructive commentary as well. Plus Mr H gave Eric criticism and he took it like a champ so.... They have no excuses at this point other then tribalism.

@fishin4bass2002 I’ve been on multiple Ethan live streams unless you’re paying him that’s the only way he basically pays attention to your comments
EVS looks like he is running a Ponzi scheme of starting new campaigns to fulfill older campaigns, which explains why he needed to do a crowdfunding campaign to afford to pay for a $10k ad on Camelot's car. Eric would just search the couch in his office and find $10k in pocket money.
@fishin4bass2002 Customers that already paid for a product from EVS shouldn't have to pay to get an update on the status of that product from EVS.
This is what the Iron Age is all about. This is the time for independents to rise and shine. The opportunity for every man and woman to establish comic books of their own creations. Get to it people. Don't waste your time on drama. Go support someone with their comic universe or go build your own. This time won't last forever!
Yeah i don't understand the hate at all. It's pointless and stupid and all it's doing is hurting THEM, not him. These people are a cult of hate for his company, his employees, his customers, and ESPECIALLY him. All they're doing is making themselves look bad and they are actually attracting people to it and as a result new customers and fans. No one normal agrees or understands why they should hate him so much, and it doesn't help when they dog pile on people or channels who show interest or say they like it when they read it. Oh well, hating is all they do. Glad to see you are not one of them 👍 What's even more sad as they keep trying to say the books are terrible, I've read them myself I didn't think they were bad, and I've seen plenty of other people quite a few of them are even writers and even old-time comic book fans also say they were good.

i've got no beef with eric july. i'm sure there are some things that we don't agree on, but that's never stopped me from being friends with people in real life. i've not read his books, but i respect what he's doing and the success he's had. this whole thing lately about "everybody who disagrees with me is an -ist or -phobe" is wild.
Eric won.
Yeah, at this point I think it's safe to say he did.... Otherwise these nutcases wouldn't be acting the way they are.
I get why ethan has a problem with Eric they never really got along I think Ethan jealous of Eric pre-orders I think that's were a lot of heat come froms.
Thanks for calling it out. This is how I feel. Can you ship to the UK?
Yes it's generally expensive but if you don't mind not getting bags/boards or whatever I can actually work with you offline email me jdaguestposts at gmail
@@JonDelArroz thanks man
There will have to be a split of CG Kings because EVS, Malin, and Shane are too petty and ridiculous for the normal guys on the Brofressionals...
That's like saying Nighttime and Daytime tv should split.
@@phandaal someone should’ve told him that Iron Age is not gonna let his ass in considering they gave keep anybody like him from being allowed to join not to mention he doesn’t believe it’s a real thing anyways considering he talks out of both sides of his mouth one minute it’s its own independent thing the next minute it doesn’t exist and suddenly now it’s a part of CG and always has been
@@phandaal That won't work. The Iron Age is a description of the era of comics we are in right now. Much like the Silver Age or Golden Age. It's not a group or anything specific like that. It's pretty much anyone producing comic books outside of the Big Two. Giving independents the opportunity to capitalize on the downturn of Marvel/DC.
People that spend money on comics, expecting to get a comic in return for their, will figure it out sooner or later. EnViouS can keep the youtube Stans, and Rippa will keep the paying comic book customers. That is the inevitable outcome.
Ironically, Kelly Sue Deconnick was right. If you don’t like Eric July’s book, read something else, or in Salmon Rushdie’s words, if you don’t like a bad book, write a good one.
I don't hate Eric July, I just didn't like his books
I think the Soskas are pair of nuts - but they are talented and
Rippa seems to keep them grounded but creative (as they have been)
Thank you!
You're welcome
dont matter hes making millions every campaign AND bringing on new customers.
Backed Reset Protocol thanks to you. It looks FANTASTIC, but it doesn't ship to Canada so I had to go with Digital.
7:47 from this book I get a lot of vibes of a bunch of anime I used to watch like bleach berserk a little Naruto, but more samurai Champloo, Inuyasha , probably a small a bit of Vinland although that one I haven’t watched
It needed to be said. Some great books are always needing promotion. Classy video!
Dang it! You pitched Overmind very well. Picking it up. 😛
Thank you!
Jon literally recommended it to me over Twitter. I just headed over and grabbed a copy. Thinking about checking out either Cosmic Warrior or Deus Vult next. Can't decide. Flying Sparks looks like fun too.
Also I regret nothing about buying Overmind. That was just a damn fun read.
@@ravenwulfgarI grabbed Cosmic Warrior too. I am not into GL much but I did enjoy ERB's stories growing up.
Hear, hear. We are surrounded by woke enemies and Ethan's clan decided it's a good idea to attack their fellow independent creators. It's so incredibly infantile and petty.They never grow up, still mentally stuck in kindergarten. . I unsubscribed from him last week.
That's because EVS is a WOKE Leftist!! He is a disingenuous hypocrite that was never Right-wing.
I love Eric July and the Rippaverse i've gotten all the books so far and I have enjoyed them immensely I don't get the hate at all. OK so what he says things you don't like and he's a little rough around the edges
Get over it The books are good fun escapist stories to get lost in and follows some great heroes!
You don't like his writing OK he's got other writers on other books try those.
There's no agenda outside, trying to entertain and bring you joy what's wrong with that?
If you crack open any of the books, you would not know he's a libertarian you wouldn't know Chuck Dixon is more right, leaning than others. They're just good stories.
From people who love and care about the medium, and again, just want to entertain with good stories
It's also refreshing to see everyone from Chuck Dixon to the Soskas sisters to Eric July himself hyping up and praising the fans
And when it comes to the Eric July can't take criticism he clearly can Isom 2 is better than the first one. He cleaned up a lot of the problems his actual fan base, not whiny little bitches like his haters, but his actual fanbase had.
(this was just a bit bit of event session. Thank you for anyone who read this I don't understand the hate he lives rent free in so many peoples heads They're just stewing and pissing themselves off. and it makes no sense.)
Well that’s the thing it was never about the quality or the writers or anything it’s the fact of what she said they don’t like what he says they know he’s rough around the edges and they hate everybody who associates with him including anything that he creates because they cannot destroy him because these people are on ironically racist I can’t even sit up here and make this up all things considering they’ve got no other reasons to hate Eric the way that they do most of them going as far as to call him the N-word with the hard ER some of them calling him a chunky monkey others worried about his weight his jock size his appearance why do you have to worry about that?
you would think that these so-called peers or the tractors for the ones who make their own comics be able to walk the walk after talking the talk but nobody has prove that Eric‘s ideas or what he does is bad while Eric‘s ideas aren’t perfect they always have had room for improvement and
I think that’s what they hate is the fact that they can’t be on that level of honesty they can’t be on that level of maturity because ultimately they fell into the drama hole.
As ever, you pull the positive out of the negative. Well done, Jon.
Thank you!
I don't hate the art or the artists. I like both. I like Ethan Van Sciver's art, and I like the comic book Cyberfrog from ALL CAPS Comics. I like Eric July's writing and I like Isom from Rippaverse Comics. I can also say similar things about DC Comics and Marvel Comics, too. I'm still a fan of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc.
What I don't like is Ethan Van Sciver's petty envy and jealousy. What I don't like is Eric July associating with certain people who he should be keeping an eye on because they cannot be fully trusted. I don't like DC and Marvel catering to soy woke S.J.W. crap. I am caught in the middle because of one side telling me to hate on another, and the other side calling me stupid for being a fan of a certain independent comic book creator. All this talk about diversity. Whatever happened to diversity of thought?
If the sisters changed I think we should give them a chance. Eric wouldn't have hired them if he didn't trust them, and he's not going to discriminate against their political views as long as they don't put them in the books.... And he already said that he won't allow political views in the books anyway so.... I don't know how much more clear he needs to be about that. 🤷
@@MisterC86-fc6og Yeah, Eric is pretty much going back to how things were years ago when many people with different views worked together and focused on their JOB not criticizing each others ideologies. He has said he isnt discriminating against anyone working with his company as long as they can do their job and leave their politics at the door. So whatever issue with the sisters, or other people thats irrelevant to him, as long as they can do their work. The person who he clearly shouldnt have trusted was EVS. And Im sure many wouldnt have guess how off or weird he'd have become. Ultimately you cant control other people only yourself and your business. He can do his best to vet people and crazies might still make it through the door, and sometimes the folks you think will be a problem can be great and surprise you.
Eric isn't telling you to hate anyone. In fact, he's been trying to avoid this silly situation from the moment that EnViouS started showing his true colors.
When there is a disagreement, I like to go to the source. I listen to what Eric says, which is "I want to sell comic books." Then, I listen to what EnViouS says, "I hate Eric because he's more successful than I am, even though I think I'm better than he is." If you just listen to what both of them have to say, the reality of the situation becomes entirely clear.
9:33 they’re not gonna do that I guarantee it some of these guys were never comic book readers to begin with others would rather keep reading dog shit from marvel and DC or wait for their masters to basically finally drop product right after they make a live stream bitching and complaining about one singular successful black man being a threat to the in the comic scene despite doing more to help the scene compared to themselves who have stagnated and are hypnotized with hatred for him but I admire your optimism John
I used to buy all those EC reprints like The Vault of Fear, Tales from the Crypt, etc. I loved horror comics and 80s and early 90s Spiderman. I have a vaccum sealed tub I need to dig out from storage, I know I got the newstand mint first appearence of Carnage, first Jim Lee X-Men, frist Dale Keown Hulk, and a few other key books of the time....god I miss those days.....
I love reading the comment section of Comicartist PROcrastinator's livestreams. The boogeyman theyve all created of Rippa in their delutional heads is so funny. Hes basically responsible for 9/11 at this point.😂
Good analysis. Will have to check out one of your books.
Why would I have an issue with Rippa?
I respectfully disagree, I love 90s comics. Especially X-Men books.
Nothing against 70s and 80s comics but the art of the 90s was so much sharper.
No it wasn't. Nothing against 90s comics, I have a lot of them, and there's a lot of action to be had, but a lot of the art was about exaggerated muscles and boobs, which is one reason it was called "Bad Girl". The muscles and boobs of the 70s and 80s were still sexy but much more reasonable. And the colors were simpler and brighter. Just the opinion of one comics creator who grew up on Perez, Byrne and Infantino etc. Bronze Age 4 life. The early 00s had some great stuff too, btw.
Yeah, the 90s is when I started getting into comics. It wasn't until about he mid 2000s that they fell off a cliff for me.
Its just like J6.. a few bad actors infiltrate the space, and presyme to speak on behalf of fans, and whip the useful idiots into a frenzy(which isnt difficult)
All this is just Uncle E 's dastardly plan to try n pit comicsgate against Rippa, hoping that would affect his sales so that E could return to being the king emperor.😂
"Uncle E".... I almost died of cringe reading this. 🤣
I'm digging this channel.
Thank you!
That reset protocol art looks good, very interesting. I saw it the other day when Fiannawolf posted it.
Damn, I though the Snyder cult was bad, but it looks like I’ve stumbled upon something even weirder?
I read some comments from one of the clipped Metokur videos and it's like looking into an alternate reality. Have any of those people actually looked at Eric's videos or any Tweets?
They have made a fictionalised version of Eric and ran with it, it's nuts to read.
What did you think about the Valerian movie? I thought it was ok.. it was really cool lookin.
I thought it was alright too didn't understand the hate other than it wasn't super faithful to the comics.
Drama disapoints and drives me away.
How can we possibly judge the quality of your writing or art without knowing which side you're on?!?
That seems to be the legit arguments.
@@JonDelArroz Yeah... People are becoming very... simple. Everything MUST be forced into a false dichotomy, no matter how absurd it is.
2:35 don’t get me wrong John I get what you mean by the fact that the 90s had some bad moments but let’s not pretend that some of that darkness wasn’t needed it was and I don’t give me wrong it was lacking a balance of that lightheartedness that flex Mantlo delivered upon and books like it but there’s nothing wrong with the exaggerated styles or the complete edginess I don’t think it caused a lot of SJW takes to happen but I do think it basically speaks to a bigger problem of storytelling where everybody always wants to tell this story of a darker version to a light hearted hero when That’s not every character

I’m just curious , what part of yaira look fantastic. Like all the books you shared in this video look cool , I just can’t understand what about yaira looks great . Like ‘em or now all of the Rippaverse books have been mid to low tier ! If quality equalled success your books should consistently make a mill each time .
Since the ones look cool hope you'll check out Overmind! If you don't like Yaira no point in obsessing over why someone else likes it.
Your right its the that 80's ROCKED!!!
Great video.
6:14 Over mine kind of reminds me a bit of Warhammer 40 K from what it sounds like as you go through some of the explanation for your story
Awesome love the 40K comparison thank you!
@@JonDelArroz I had a feeling you did because some of it sounded very familiar definitely continue to make money moves my friend if CG spent half the time getting their pompous heads out of their asses they would probably be just as successful as Eric by now or slightly somewhere near a fraction of his success
The 90's was a mixture of good and bad. Half of it was an extension of the 80's and the other half was degeneracy.
Just to give you a idea Batman and Superman cartoon rocked and so did Spider-Man and X-MEN. Hurules and Xena great shows. Lois & Clark was other great show. Then there was Babylon 5 and the rip off Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Rap music got very violent. Also there same people that own the music industry own the private prison system.
There is a huge difference between “hating” and having high standards and not settling for unimpressive and uninteresting art and story telling.
If you have high standards like European comics or they did at EC Comics, definitely grab Overmind!
You'll always have Manga.
My comic is a UK style constitutional monarchy
They hate that he and the people he is associated criticize left wing ideology;it all stems from there,if eric was an ally of all the left wing woke ideology they would love him.
I got x2 from the ripperverse. The postage was so expensive, as it was for overseas(AU$91
00 for x1book & postage.). It makes me think twice about backing these kickstarter campaigns.
Not sure why people spend all their time talking about "pyramid scheme" type grifters on youtube. Watch and talk about something else. Drama is boring and childish.
Awesome
People fail to understand the dislike for eric. Isom was people being picky and i think a bit envious , then eric’s reaction to legit criticism annoyed them even more. And with the yaira release and the soska sister collaboration and no one from his group calling out the message portrayed in the yaira trailer is making people question their integrity. You cannot create a career and a following criticising Hollywood and Amazon for inserting woke feminist crap and then you do the same at the first chance, it show’s hypocrisy at its finest. And if he keeps ignoring people’s legitimate questions regarding his collaborations and messages for lack of better word, it will get worse
Reset Protocol looks amazing, unfortunately they wont ship to Europe. 😥
They have a digital!
Esto es real?! O el mundo se comporta como una maquina del casino?! Miles de artistas escriben comics! Pero de repente un artista de comics negro gana 3 millones de dólares!!!! Y todos lo miramos como si pudiera ser real el negocio!! desconfío de esos toques de suerte misteriosos.
Bickering is grifting.
Small drama is still drama.
Talking heads making money.
This Marvel vs DC thing is just nerd team sports. Modernity is all about individualism, so this fulfills a deepset human need to have a group to belong to.
The great shame about the ComicsGate vs Rippaverse thing is that it is really the creation of two enormous egos. I hope it isn't affecting individual ComicsGate people. It is particularly annoying that people have been asked to 'take a side'. Yesterday, both Jon del Arroz and Shane Davis said they had angry people after them expecting them to be anti and pro Rippaverse respectively.
Whilst a lot of entertainment has been generated from this, it can't be good for business.
For the most part Eric hasn't been VS with anyone he is just focused on his business...other people though, need to find something else to do with their time.
This whole thing is ENTIRELY one-sided. When EnViouS stops, it's over. But he's not going to do that, because then his sycophants will go back to asking him where their 2-year-late comics are.
@@MrMagnaniman I disagree with your opinion. This is nothing to do with envy. It is ego. EVS is a lifelong comics professional; Eric is an amateur who has bought into the comics world with his UA-cam money. EVS has no respect for Eric's ability, and has standards which are a lot higher than Eric's - he even considers a lot of his old work as 'shit'.
@@markbertenshaw3977 Really? Because he had tons of respect for Eric's ability when he was making a cover Isom #2. I'm just not sure which EVS I should believe.
What I have no respect for are people that talk out of both sides of their mouth. The reality is that EnViouS was 100% on board with the Rippaverse until Eric started hiring artists and writers that are more talented than EnViouS has ever been. He thought that he was somehow entitled to something from Eric, and tried to flex on him, and it backfired. So, now, he's doubling down on his childish jealousy.
@@MrMagnaniman He did it for the money. And if you think that Cliff Richards is in the same league as EVS, you are wrong. Joe is closer. The woman on Yaira is not good. Cainan White is pretty good - on the same level.
I sont hate Rippa. I just hate the hypocrites that would have eviscerated Disney/Marvel or DC had they put out a trailer this bad whether an ad for a comic or movie. Same with those that use to review comics. The quality is bad. The price points of packs are higher than if you bought individuals. Deep discounts on product that was originally exclusive to another product. In the end the man does put out product but that product has no soul. The classic phrase is easily applicable here: a fool and his money are easily parted.
How do you know that those close to him with platforms didint tell him something behind closed doors. A good friend would not kill the momentum of the campaign by publicly shitting on their friend. Disney is nobody’s friend so it doesn’t have to be behind closed doors with Disney.
"I dont hate him... his readers are fools", could be followed up with recommendations. just sayin.
I gave him recommendations! He hates me though cuz I won't attack Eric. It's not about the comics, as I duly illustrated.
@@JonDelArrozJon backs Trailer as masterpiece! 😂
Come on Jon that advert for that Lesbian with a accent from countries as diverse as Russian, Poland, Scotland, Canada… etc! Was plain embarrassing! If you really want to be respected, you need to speak up! Your credibility is on the line! Or have you sold your integrity to a distribution company?
And what I expect is some integrity like others had on Stealing Solo by WCBS first release. No one was afraid to call that out when it was in their backyard but Eric can do no wrong? Also, not about you JDA but more about the FNT crew! They have become the New G4 minus Frosk! As for the trailer Mr. H hit all the bullet points except I wouldnt compare it to CW because that is too much credit but more like some 90's kid's home movie.
Nice commercial…
"It's away from the corporate culture of satanism" - Jon...Do you have an opinion about the Soska sisters? Did Eric July bill himself as a Christian opposed to that corporate culture of satanism? And if he did, is it hypocritical of him to work with the Soskas? This is not a gotcha question. I really am not that familiar with Eric July or the Soskas. If he is Christian and they are torture porn/horror film makers who promote satantic imagery, is that not a conflict?
I do. They're my catholic sisters and I'm happy to support them as I do all catholic creators.
@@JonDelArroz You know they are not "your Catholic Sisters". cut the crap Jon.
@@JonDelArroz Maybe you could make a video essay explaining that they are Catholic. Because all that I have seen seemingly shows otherwise. Including the recent making of Yaira trailer video where one of the sisters claimed we should be moral but not out of fear of divine judgement.

Now this is just a serious amount of cope and projection right there... No proof, just slander.
@@keithbk It most certainly is not! If you say it, it's slander. If you print it it's libel...😂
Wow! Since he does it so much, there must be mountains of evidence that you can provide.
@@MrMagnaniman wouldn't hold my breath on it. We're all still waiting
@@ravenwulfgar Oh, I know. The origin of the problem is that Eric didn't hire EnViouS to make a Rippaverse title, obviously because Eric values his word to his customers about timely delivery.
I just feel bad for all the people that got suckered into paying for All Cap Comics that will never be delivered.
No one hates Eric - we're here to lift up our brothers in the comic space. When they stumble, or even when they dive deep into the foul swamps of degeneracy, we can say a prayer and help them find the path back to Jesus. XD. Keep your rile by your side.
I don't hate Eric July or his fans. And I never troll them or try to ruin anyone else's fun. But I have to admit that watching EVS taking Rippa's books & public statements apart on a molecular level has been fun. Eric July made a very big mistake when he made an enemy of EVS. Mostly because Ethan is smart & entertaining while Eric is not. I dont see what the big deal is. Ethan's making money. Eric is making money. And both sets of fans have something to talk about.
LOL!
Eric just made a million dollars in 24 hours.
Cyber frog barely makes a profit...
Facts don't line up with what you're trying to say
EVS is a sloppy artist and a hack has-been. No one cares. He's desperate for attention and creates bot accounts just to troll.
The big deal is Ethan trashing on Eric while he, himself, hasn’t delivered on his multiple unfulfilled campaign promises
Most of those fans used to be the same people. Then EnViouS started talking trash because his victims started wondering why he was 2 years late on his delivery dates while Eric was delivering all of his books exactly when he said he would.
@@phandaal For Eric's part, I think he's entirely content with letting EnViouS keep the youtube stans in exchange for getting to keep the paying comic book customers.
I am happy for someone being successfully, but not taking criticism and using the 3-D assets for art at a steep price is what got the controversy/“hate” going. I guess hiring the Soska Sisters supposedly attracted some negative reactions too. Drama, drama, drama… sigh :(
One reason why I don’t trust the Soskas is because:
1, Pedo jokes in a black van
2, Worked with a filmmaker (who was an alleged creep with 13-15-year-old girls on Facebook think Dahvie Vanity-level shit) who actually filmed a girl who was coming down off of heroin in those recorded clips. That heroin girl got shot to death years after those “horror films” were made.
3, The sisters got caught in some adult-related sites doing incest porn
I don’t fully trust them in my opinion. But take almost all people in caution when buying any form of comic.
He can pick and choose who to take criticism from...and evs and crew isnt it...These are some SERIOUSLY weak things for peopel to be going on him for like derranged nuts.
@@aeternafortuna1644 he can pick and choose, but better have tough skin, because no matter how good or bad a product is there will always be criticism. He acted the same way that he’s criticized sjws for being when confronted with criticism. I wish EVS and July all the best, but this drama in the comics industry (whether it’s indies, CG or the DC/Marvel-Mid 2) is getting old and useless
@@aeternafortuna1644those “deranged nuts” are what helped him get the attention to what he was trying to put forth. Like him or hate him(yes I get it), but EVS has over 30+ years of experience in comics. Many of these guys are UA-camrs that are transitioning to comics as opposed to comics experts transitioning to indie go go and YT. These comic experts have knowledge. Good to pick their brain and take notes. Yes, he can choose what critiques he wants to listen to, but if he only listens to those pat him on the back and tell him what he wants to hear then it it’s not going to make him better. They all need to stop their drama, shake hands and move on. It’s a business, not high school.
Its more about quality and overpricing but sure lets pretend that doesn't matter, the state Eric's marketing choices with lack of information and flipping on the more conservatives audience he marketed towards . The ingenuine passion to create art for them rather placate them with platitudes and setting his shit crew on any critics like WC2.0 and er mentioned Satanism? lol ok then. You believe the Sisters found god and arnt woke or are they all just farming the conservative kids now with a gift?
I myself don't like it because i find it corpo and souless with no real substance or belief behind what it is he says it is. It is.
Your stuffs great and that sounds like a cool story, your right other things are available but the raisons for dislike are valid. ^_-
Really excited for you to check out Overmind!
You are a good example of tribalism.... Not to mention out-of-date info that doesn't happen anymore. If you don't like his comics, buy from someone else.
And you're still going by quality? Another words just because you don't like it no one else should....good to know 🙄 also the price is just fine, there are books out there with half as many pages that cost more than that.
I just don't get it. Lets say he is doing everything You say....yet his fans are happy and his new comic just made a cool million in record time. Why do You care as the majority of his fans are happy why in the f**k should anyone listen to You? If You don't like it don't buy it, that BS EVS is pushing against EJ about him being against crowd funding is distraction and fear, he is trying to distract his simps for his late books and he is jealous and afraid of losing his "emperor of comics" fantasy. If EVS and his jolly are so sure their way is the right way then why the fear of EJ's system...if is so fragile then maybe it deserves it's fate. If CG is so weak what value does it truly have? I say let them compete and let the best system win, but no EVS is almost hypocritical on this issue and I used to be a huge EVS fan but I am on the brink of unsubing and unfollowing him. EJ is not innocent in this either and I have been super critical of his art and story, but EVS's new alliances with scum like Dick**d Mastersonofab*tch and Vedo the P*d0 Lover and Mint Nutsalad and that f*t freak Riley is too much and I have almost completely lost interest in EVS's little freak show with him as a carnival barker.....so stupid!
Yaira is $25 for 90 pages. Isom #1 and #2 were $35 for 90+ pages... which would each be the equivalent of 2 40+ page books from EVS at $25 each. So, for $50+ double the shipping (2 books rather than 1 combined issue) you can get the same content length as $35 plus shipping (for the earlier books) or $25 plus shipping for all Rippaverse books going forward. But I am sure that you are going to pretend anything over Eric paying you to own his comics is overpriced.
I don’t care about July either way since I saw his first go-to during the Rekieta beef was to go with racial epithets, that’s the SJW playbook in my eyes and Isom were of “uneven quality”, let’s say that.
That said I just don’t read them and I rather see that Lunar Cricket take peoples money instead of the mainstream.
Regarding Jon, he has been quite consistent in not striking to the Right since the election so he’s not changed his behavior.
Edit: The first part is a joke(for the less gifted that may sound this out).
It really isn’t a matter of opinion, Rippaverse comics are average at best in story sub-par in art, and overpriced even for a comic-gate type indie comic. So many strikes against the Rippaverse even before you get to the biggest strike of all Eric July himself.
C’mon JDA, tribalism? I’ve recieved more hate because I think he’s not treating his backersright and has provoked his fans to do. Oh and 🌭
Dude evs releases his comic 4 years late after the campaign is fulfilled
If you go and buy a comic from someone that's never written anything before then common sense should tell you its probably not gonna be that great. I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for people that don't have simple common sense. If anyone actually purchased a Rippaverse book thinking it was gonna be great (You know like your daddy EVS said it was gonna be for over a year) then its on them for not having simple common sense.
I never see Eric do that. I do see all of you do it however. No one agrees with the reasons you're doing this for, and you all look stupid doing it.
Jay you're the biggest Ethan ball gobbler. You simped for KatyDidDogs, but you were fine with attacking the Soskas got but not Katy. The only person drama farming has been Ethan, stop gobbling fool LMFAO 🐕🐕🐕💄🚀💄🚀💄.
@@The8BitChampionI bought Isom 1, I thought it was good. Isom 2 I thought was better, and Isom 3 I'm smart enough to realize that both the stories are going to lead up to the third and final part. And I've seen way too many people also agree that it was good including writers and old-time comic fans. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no one else will. It has an 80s or 90s nostalgia and I enjoy that. Sorry, but that's just how it goes.
I don't hate eric and i don't understand why people hate him but i will say i am very disappointed of him. He did some good music and his podcast and politically commentaries was great, but his comic isn't that good and he doesn't see what is wrong with it.
Hope you'll enjoy Overmind!
Saying something "isn't that good" or is "bad" is empty criticism. You need to identify what specifically is bad about it. People like you never bother with specifics on what was good or bad about the comics, because you didn't read it or simply don't care and simply want to hate on Eric while pretending to be a fan of his other stuff.
@@truthedministry the characters design changes like in every pages. In isom 2 the main villain looks like a pig. The flash back stories in isom one didn't have any important to it. In one panel when he punch blood out a dude chest the same dude was okay literally in the next panel. The fighting in it feels like there no weights to it. The reasons he doing what he doing is cause of a favor that he went back on and didn't even rescued his not niece.
@@JonDelArroz i did enjoy flying sparks.
@@junebug4004 OK, so you didn't read the books at all then. You are just parroting baseless criticisms from EVS without ever actually reading the books. Why am I not surprised?
What "main villain"? There was Chadran from Isom's flashback story, not the main villain. Darren, who doesn't look like a pig. And then the Hellians and their chief. I would guess that you mean Chadran, but you must terrified of bacon if you think that is what pigs look like.
Inconsistent faces are a common occurrence in all comics. Especially in the first few issues before a consistent art style is pinned down. This applies to Manga, Anime, and western cartoons as well. You can see a drastic change in the art style and face consistency of many animated shows with multi-million dollar budgets.
There weren't any flashback stories in Isom #1, that was Isom #2.
The dude wasn't "okay" in the next panel, he was curled in the fetal position holding his ribs. The projectile blood came out of the dude's mouth from the previous hit, not his skin, but there was either blood or bruising where Isom punched him.
Weights as in stakes? Or Weights as in they appear to be floating? Either way you are incorrectly repeating what EVS claims were failings in the books. You can compare panels of Cyberfrog side-by-side with Isom #1 and you will see panels where the characters seem to be suspended in the air because the panel shows them in the middle of a jump or punch or some other sort of action where since comics aren't moving pictures, have to use your mind to imagine the action between panels. This is not something specific to Isom, but that you will see in almost every comic even back in the 1950s.
Avery didn't go back on the favor as he found Jasmine and reported that back to Altona in Isom #1. She asked him to find her and he did. Favor completed. Going back to stop Darren, punish him for harming Altona, and then saving Jasmine from whatever she's involved in are things Avery decided to do for himself.
Yeah, he, uh, sucks. I don't hate him, he's right when he used to talk about politics and culture in media but he's not good at what he's doing in regards to writing. Everyone defending him only defend him because they want to share the dough or publicity or they share his beliefs. If you actually read it and like it good for you but people freak out when you criticize him or his business.
Oh and the worst part is the hypocrisy
Eric July is a talentless shyster, I have no hate for him but I'm also not going to buy things that is of no value.
Then watch the video and buy some of JDA's comics
We don’t hate him, as his content is hilarious! Especially that Trailer! That was a masterpiece of cringe and I actually felt sympathy for the people that supported him! All my media friends thought it was done as a joke!
Was it???
You said that already, not only do you suffer from tribalism but you suffer from bot brain.
Tell us how the black man hurt you.
You said that already. Not only do you suffer from tribalism, but bot brain as well.
@@keithbk Literal SJW response.
@@keithbk WOW! Eric fans have now turned into everything he has fought for years! Using race as a weapon is everything he hates! Congratulations! You have lost this battle now! 🐥🤣🤡
Who is he?
Comic creator/youtuber.
I dont hate him. I appreciate what he is trying to do, but he has to try harder. Isom 1 was mediocre at best and Isom 2 wasn't any better. Alphacore was a disappointment despite Chuck Dixon. I am not even going to try Yaira. That shitty ass trailer turned me off. I might give it a whirl when he has that for five bucks like his other books.
Hope you'll like Overmind!
@@JonDelArroz Overmind was great!
It is a trailer for promoting the comic that it what the big deal? It is not that he is making a live action movie.
Jda you forreal? You going to act like you dont get whats up?
No chance in literal hell JDA believes any of this. He's taking the piss, either to get in on the Rippaverse/Zerosphere wave for promotion or to just straight up troll.
It's not hate, it's colossal disappointment. I was hoping that Eric July would counteract woke culture by providing genuinely high quality comics. But it turns out that he acts just like the SJWs he's complained about for years, and produces low-grade content that's just as bad, if not worse. I noticed that long before EVS started pointing it out and wondered why no one was calling Rippa out about it. I'm glad that Mr. H is finally starting to notice too.
I mean he's never written ANYTHING before. What were you expecting from someone that's never written anything cause I was expecting it to be bad. Am I just smarter than everyone else cause I was just thinking it was simple common sense?
Can't wait for your review of overmind since you're about the comics!
@@JonDelArroz See, this is what I'm talking about. What's with the snarky response? That's typical woke spite which deliberately dodges the point.
I didn't insult anyone in calmly pointing out the specific problem that people have with Eric July, which is that he's a hypocrite that causes the same problems as the SJWs he used to complain about. I've also noticed that he's responded to the slightest criticism, bullying the smallest nobody accounts, with excessive vitriol, just like an SJW. And his fans have taken up that poisonous behavior as well.
How have so few noticed that wokeness was never about the far left ethos that SJWs claimed to fight for, but rather it was about deeply disturbed people using those politics as an excuse to revel in spitefulness?
And it's not just Rippa, but many in the FNT and Geeks & Gamers circle. I noticed years ago, long before EVS started calling them all out, that they all act very much like the woke lunatics they complain about. Take the political positions away and Rippa, Jeremy Griggs, Az, Ryan Kinel, etc. all act very much the same as SJWs, as do their most zealous fans. _That's_ the problem with Rippa and the rest of them. The low-quality comics are merely a symptom, a side-effect, of that larger problem of spiteful egomania that they're perpetuating.
@@OolalaFive Specifically...what is so low-quality about them?
Eric is just scamming his followers. $35 for a book then drop it to $5 , asking ppl to give him $100!to be part of a group to get discount but then give anyone 70%off . He is there just for the money he doesn't care about his fans at all. Then hire 2 woke women and make a woke trailer all he use to criticize he do it. Can't stand this guy.
Hope you'll read Overmind for $25 a book or $10 if you just want it digitally -- 3 full issues in length the digital is less than you'd pay for a marvel/dc comic!
Your hero Andrew Tate arrested again, this time on UK charges, you still using his content to raise your children?
lol where's that come from? I made fun of the guy with a parody comic.
