SJW don't care much for any religion but Islam if you have not noticed. It's why feminist can smile in the face of Islam despite the religion itself being oppressive to women in it's teachings yet whine about patriarchy in business. It's like come on lady, Muhammed told men you women are spoils of war, you got to cover head to toe or at least head depending on how Westernized the Muslim is, the teachings say you can beat your wife "lightly", kick her out of bed and not have sex with her if she's disobedient and these people are tossing gays off rooftops overseas but your primary feminist agenda is American wage for women vs men? Aborting your children that 99% of time you laid down and had sex when you should have not if you didn't want kids and talking about rape culture which isn't a thing. I've never heard a man sit his child down and say, now Billy, don't go around raping any woman ok? it's bad. I think that goes without saying which is why rapist are a small minority of men.
Preach! She ran out of the money she grifted out of who knows how many people on Kickstarter and needed more, so...she did what she did. Disgusting doesn't even begin to cover it.
@@MaskedRiderChris I'd really like to make a fan comic, where these sjw's take over Gotham, and it gets so bad, that Batman has to team up with the Joker to stop them. Batman would be pissed because of the loss of order, and Joker at the loss of humour. Zoe could be in it!

That has happened more than once in real life, most feminist publications go bust in short order, and there have been feminist restaurants (which charge men more to offset the gender pay gap), books stores, and etc and they all go bust. Panera Bread tried running some of their restaurants with a "pay what you are able" model thinking that college professors and soccer-moms would cover the loss of giving free food to homeless people and hipster college students, but it wasn't working, and the homeless people were belligerent and demanding and trashed the stores and so then they tried forcing arbitrary pricing based on your appearance: come in looking homeless and you get it for free, come in wearing a nice coat and watch and you have to pay 300% the normal price. That immediately drove away the saps that had been paying extra before and the stores were quickly shuttered.

Well aware. Zoe's succ game must be strong. Like, "golf ball through a garden hose" strong to get a company to hire her after that sh*t. Companies are usually overly averse around negative press. Im just surprised theyre so loud about hiring her. I know shes got old money adopted parents so maybe there's an angle there.

I feel the same way in that all this shit just leaves me feeling numb and depressed. There was hope that things were changing for a bit a while back but comics, games, everything.. it's just getting worse, and if you have even the slightest problem with it you get dogpiled and made to feel like garbage.

Nah, they wouldn't make a new albino character, they'll just retcon Iceman as an albino all along, which is how he originally got the nickname "iceman" in school. He was wearing body foundation that was later improved upon by Reed Richards(Uhh, hello! White male privilege toxicity!

Yes. I went in the comic shop a week ago and just felt dirty looking at Marvel and DC. I got Skull and Kickers for dirt cheap asked about my order from Alterna and not bought anything since. Store owners a nice guy and I didn't spend a fortune there but the idea of buying DC/Marvel feels like I'm ignoring a murder.
The Fourth Age has interesting analysis of the why’s and wherefores . Recently on why they struggle to write humor & comedy. He nails it. Includes use of silly word repetition.
As always golden content. These SJWs are like variant covers. A lot of excitement in the short term. A while later you look at them and they don't anchor to anything real they all star to blend together. Variant covers may have a longer shelf life (think of the classic covers for the most part they tie to the story inside)
It's always so nostalgic to see SJW's ruin other communities. Takes me back to GamerGate, even the same usual suspects. The handguide to this battle is out there, just look into GG. Enough to learn from and pitfalls you can find. But in the end, a massive boycot works. No loyalty to a company. They either listen to the consumers or moral busybodies. There is no in between.
I understand the reasoning on hard copies, but as a loyal fan, I humbly ask you to reconsider your stance on no digital. You don't have to eschew hard copies, just make digital an option. I know for myself, I have lost my hard cover copy twice (one time was my own fault, the other a sudden disaster) and if I could buy the comic online, I would have a copy i can access on my computer or phone, something I can't lose due to error, age, or unfortunate circumstance.
One of the most important thing my professional mentor ever taught me was, "Some customers aren't worth having as customers." What she meant was that the time and energy it takes to please that individual, takes more resources then what that person will ever bring in. And that is particularly problematic when that individual is asking you to jeapordize the business to please their sense of morality.
14:37 I have watched them do this to music, movies, television, the academy, video gaming, science fiction, role playing, and comics. Their inevitably successful takeover of board gaming is under way. And even my beloved horror genre, what I thought would be an eternal bastion of free thinking and anti-totalitarianism, has been infected. Robert Conquest's 2nd Law of Politics: Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
I will stop BUYcotting anything affiliated with Zoe Quinn. I walked away from Marvel and DC 2008-2017 and they couldn't keep their shit together or improve for the 2 years that I came back. Walking away is even easier now. I really did want the comics industry to survive. It's Direct to customer for me now.
They've already removed all the Pit Girls or whatever they call the female models in Formula 1 and just about every other motorsport, I doubt motorcross is 2 years away, more like 2 weeks.
I followed an angel investor back in 2006. He recommended checking out this thing called twitter. After perusing it for a bit, I concluded that a) it's for followers b) it's for tech guys on their smartphones all day and c) it will reveal humanity to be what our founding fathers said it was.....ignorant, petty, mean spirited, capricious and depraved.
@Craig X People in corporate environments would often use Windows messenger to communicate with each other back then. But that was generally tied to your desktop. Plumbers, electrician and other folks weren't at their computer all day. Because of the way threads worked on Twitter, who wanted to scroll back at the end of day to catch up? It works much better if you have a phone that you can check constantly. Even then, it was obvious celebrities/brands would use this to advertise etc. Finally, 2006-2007 was the peak of Bush derangement syndrome. People were on the news talking about Bush blowing up levees in New Orleans. They were making movies about assassinating him. They were trying to subvert a war they voted for. It wasn't hard to see this on Twitter from the get go.
All excellent points. I really can't blame you for not getting anything new Marvel or DC. I haven't purchased anything that wasn't back issues since 2012-2013.
The thing is, even the sales numbers at cancellation levels for Marvel & DC have little to do with whether people like the content. Some people will buy anything with an X-Man in it. Some people who loved Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends were literally waiting decades for an Iceman solo series. They're hoping that if they stick with it, someone will come along and write the character they remember. Some people simply buy everything in a company's line for the sake of having a complete set.
The saddest part of this realization is that when someone at MARVEL or DC arrives to this realization EVERY NEWS MEDIA will regard that person and that vision as a Visionary and a Genius akin to Stan Lee himself....Meanwhile we have been hearing you saying this for years now. I only hop that person filling that chair and getting the industry back where it belong is someone we know and trust like....I don't know...Our Boi? (TO BE CONSIDERED...)
I’ve spent more money for comics on IndieGoGo in the last two years than I have at my local comic store, and my LCS is awesome. I just don’t want the comics they sell, the comics aren’t fun. I can spend my money on other things that I come with a lot less hassle.
Yeah Zack! Look at old comics. I ‘d love to see you talk about New Warriors, Darkhawk, Punisher War Zone, whatever catches your interest. Booster Gold had a couple of good series, JLA was amazing when Morrison brought back the original team, Jonah Hex and Hawkworld by Tim Truman were fantastic, and on and on. Geoff Johns wrote the Flash well, even before he brought back Barry Allen. Point is, don’t waste your time on bad comics.
I guess another congratulations is in order for Zack. Not only was Jawbreakers successful, but it apparently began a crack in kickstarter that has become a rupture lately. Talk about a double win! Also, I was one of those people who didn't want Zack to stop reviewing comics a month ago because it's very entertaining, but i have to agree that after Zoe Quinn, enough is enough. I can't keep asking this guy to spend his own money for my entertainment that would support a industry that just keep hiring such a terrible human being. Kwanza just has a opinion i don't agree with, he doesn't actually have a DEATH on his resume. I completely support a draw down on comic buying at this point.
Going through some major bad life shit right now and have had a tough year but looking forward to these comics Jawbreakers, Cyberfrong, Graveyard Shift 2, Starblades and Soulfinder Demons match and Deathsworn done by an Irish guy who is only 22 and his book looks awesome so Zack take a look at his campaign All these I ordered physical copies. Since I am an international backer I did back several digital comics Shinobi Sasquatch, Monster M.D, Sovereign, Brand and Superharem otherwise I would not have been able back these campaigns (shipping costs are sometimes more than the comics cost) and the seas are not an option to me for artists that deserve soo much better so digital is not the best but better than not being able to back at all in my mind. I love creativity and as long as I can I will continue to back it. Gotta tell ya it takes a lot to get a mid 40's lady to be interested in comics but you guys got me (that and Star Trek and all my other Sci-franchises have been wrecked by SJW's) So keep doing what you are doing Zack because your work and effort is loved and your backers like you! This is rare in today's world.
One of the things about boycotting something like comics is if you’re REALLY following a series it’s hard to give that up over one stupid thing. Hell even with video games: look how much people have called for customers not to buy borderlands 3, and still my fanboy ass bout that deluxe edition. In actually I think real fans just care about quality. The only way we care about what kind of person is making our stuff is if it effects the quality
Have you forgotten about those "Comic Book Hoarders" Comic Book "Fanboys" Who call themselves "Collectors" who have turned their "Mom-house" The bed-Room, or Basement Bed-Room, some Attics or their own Apt# ,Boxes on top of Boxes of Comic Books since the 70's , You can't say "They plan to Boycott a Comics cause they Never brought the comic before. You don't know if they did buy the entire Volume series or NOT!
Comic book sales would be tenfold of the current figures if not for the utter sociopathy and extremism running the bulk of the industry at the moment, as, even if the increase in sales to teenagers and young adults were still low, at the very least more adults in their 40s and 30s would be buying them still.
Just read Tom Wolfe's Maumauing the Flakcatchers. Pretty much sums up what's going on with Twitter and dumbass companies like Marvel. Highly recommend to my CG friends
I've been boycotting the NFL since birth. Hell, I even played football as a kid, and when asked who my favorite player was I had to ask who the nose guard (my position) was on the local big league team. I have no concept of what I'm trying to get the NFL to do by not watching or paying for merch, as I care not, but apparently it's a boycott by this logic.
we really need to give toxic SJWs a new name. I recommend False Injustice Trolls as they find false injustices and troll online people till they get there way.
Way back in the day, when I was growing up in a small town not too far from ya boi Zack, I would have Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door during the summer. Usually two ladies, occasionally with kids. They'd preach, we'd debate, and often I literally play Devil's Advocate. They'd get disturbed and leave. It was all summer long, several times each month. Bear with me--this is going somewhere. A year later, I'd make friends with a kid whose mom was part of that cult--er, religion, and he explained it to me. I was a training exercise for their new people going door-to-door. If they could get through talking to me without getting triggered or having their faith shaken, then they were good to go. So the next summer I was even more antagonistic. They showed up more often as a result. I got tired of it, eventually, and stopped answering the door. They stopped showing up. Point is, SJWs are a lot like this. They get resistance or push-back, they pile on. Stop answering the door, they strut around victoriously for a bit and move on. The delicate balance seems to be finding that sweet spot to give just enough resistance to invalidate any damage they can do, before shutting the door on them.
I think I'm with you on giving up on comics. I said I was done with DC in the recent events around Quinn, but I think I'm done in general now that it's sunk in. Independent creators are more deserving, lately.
I didn't know Zoe Quinn was still a thing...I mean a lot like Sarkeesian I thought she just made her money off rubes and disappeared because crime pays.
While i worked in retail my pride was to get the customer the best solution for what they needed. Those SJWs need a Psychotherapist. I know a good one.
Yeah I'm not buying a single issue of ANYTHING from DC until Zoe Quinn is removed. If she's on any current Marvel books my pull box is going to look grim.
it's cool zack. what you're experiencing isn't the desire to boycott. it's consumer apathy. there comes a point where you just don't care to fight these assholes anymore and don't care about the comics/"goods" they are producing, or are being produced at all. unfortunately this is also part of the plan. i haven't been to see a movie in about 5 years. haven't bought a comic in more than that. they've driven my interest levels to nothing, because i just don't have the energy to trudge through the shit storm anymore, and i just decide to stay home. all but 1 comic store that i used to go to has closed, and that 1 store that's left has been heavily infiltrated by spiteful assholes. i can't stomach to go in anymore. it's a deliberate and coordinated attack on past times enjoyed by a certain demographic.
the ither thing you can't do with digital is "collect" them. digital's fine IMO I've lost a great deal of things like movies and books, but if I want to resell a digital book or a movie I can't not like my VHS of new hope where han shot first.
The books weren't given three days later, they were in the works before but should have been cancelled or something. Just pointing out for the hope they distance from Zoe now
Facts. They moan and complain until they get their changes. Then they don't buy it anyways. Please companies, stop falling for this crap.
Don't forget. They will still moan and complain. They are parasitic. Their complaints off your hardwork is what makes them money (clickbait).
And yet we have world governments that have folded to their demands. No Fault Divorce anyone? (72% of all divorces are now initiated by women who are simply not happy.)

the cherry on the cake is that the changes they want alienate and drive off the original customers
they tried to do this with god of war and in a nice way the devs told them to fuk off and they kept it the same .

Also SJW: *I still won't buy it* "Now let me make sure EVERY piece of entertainment represents me, maybe then people will accept me"
They won't buy anything because their pay at Starbucks isn't good enough to pay rent and buy comics
@steve sabroe true tho lmao

Darkseid's anti-life equation turned out to be real -- it's social justice ideology.
Agree, even if right now I can't buy comics since I'm broke. I just want normal stories like the ones I read in the 80s and 90s.
As always golden content. These SJWs are like variant covers. A lot of excitement in the short term. A while later you look at them and they don't anchor to anything real they all star to blend together. Variant covers may have a longer shelf life (think of the classic covers for the most part they tie to the story inside)
It's always so nostalgic to see SJW's ruin other communities. Takes me back to GamerGate, even the same usual suspects.
The handguide to this battle is out there, just look into GG. Enough to learn from and pitfalls you can find. But in the end, a massive boycot works. No loyalty to a company. They either listen to the consumers or moral busybodies. There is no in between.
It's like the white feather movement in ww 1
"Blanco the Great," LOL
I'm really excited for G0d K1ng. Also really hoping to see more of knife hands, after he just randomly ran off.
My hold list at the LCS has been reduced to "Whatever Chip Zdarsky is doing, and SGM's Batman White Knight"
So are your saying the next issue of El Blanco is not coming out? How will we know if the polar bears defeat Dr Sundamage?
Blanco the Great? Sounds like an Eisner award winning idea to me!
I'm thinking of a comic book story where the villians are SJW's who are in control of the made up country they live in. I think it would sell great.
I understand the reasoning on hard copies, but as a loyal fan, I humbly ask you to reconsider your stance on no digital. You don't have to eschew hard copies, just make digital an option. I know for myself, I have lost my hard cover copy twice (one time was my own fault, the other a sudden disaster) and if I could buy the comic online, I would have a copy i can access on my computer or phone, something I can't lose due to error, age, or unfortunate circumstance.
Use to love movies now I can hardly make it through to the end of one now
One of the most important thing my professional mentor ever taught me was, "Some customers aren't worth having as customers." What she meant was that the time and energy it takes to please that individual, takes more resources then what that person will ever bring in. And that is particularly problematic when that individual is asking you to jeapordize the business to please their sense of morality.
'cant get existed that the comic was uploaded to the server'
meanwhile goes nuts for seeing:
NEW BERSERK JUST DROPPED!!!!
Are we still in elfhiem
Man, thanks for those words at the end of the video, those are the best encouraging speech I never heard before!!
14:37 I have watched them do this to music, movies, television, the academy, video gaming, science fiction, role playing, and comics. Their inevitably successful takeover of board gaming is under way. And even my beloved horror genre, what I thought would be an eternal bastion of free thinking and anti-totalitarianism, has been infected.
Robert Conquest's 2nd Law of Politics: Any organization not explicitly right-wing sooner or later becomes left-wing.
I will stop BUYcotting anything affiliated with Zoe Quinn. I walked away from Marvel and DC 2008-2017 and they couldn't keep their shit together or improve for the 2 years that I came back. Walking away is even easier now. I really did want the comics industry to survive. It's Direct to customer for me now.
They've already removed all the Pit Girls or whatever they call the female models in Formula 1 and just about every other motorsport, I doubt motorcross is 2 years away, more like 2 weeks.
I followed an angel investor back in 2006. He recommended checking out this thing called twitter. After perusing it for a bit, I concluded that a) it's for followers b) it's for tech guys on their smartphones all day and c) it will reveal humanity to be what our founding fathers said it was.....ignorant, petty, mean spirited, capricious and depraved.
@Craig X wasn't that hard to see
@Craig X People in corporate environments would often use Windows messenger to communicate with each other back then. But that was generally tied to your desktop. Plumbers, electrician and other folks weren't at their computer all day. Because of the way threads worked on Twitter, who wanted to scroll back at the end of day to catch up? It works much better if you have a phone that you can check constantly. Even then, it was obvious celebrities/brands would use this to advertise etc. Finally, 2006-2007 was the peak of Bush derangement syndrome. People were on the news talking about Bush blowing up levees in New Orleans. They were making movies about assassinating him. They were trying to subvert a war they voted for. It wasn't hard to see this on Twitter from the get go.
All excellent points. I really can't blame you for not getting anything new Marvel or DC. I haven't purchased anything that wasn't back issues since 2012-2013.
The thing is, even the sales numbers at cancellation levels for Marvel & DC have little to do with whether people like the content. Some people will buy anything with an X-Man in it. Some people who loved Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends were literally waiting decades for an Iceman solo series. They're hoping that if they stick with it, someone will come along and write the character they remember. Some people simply buy everything in a company's line for the sake of having a complete set.

#Multi-tasking
Not gonna lie, the "I'm saving Humanity!" impersonation was really funny :)
The saddest part of this realization is that when someone at MARVEL or DC arrives to this realization EVERY NEWS MEDIA will regard that person and that vision as a Visionary and a Genius akin to Stan Lee himself....Meanwhile we have been hearing you saying this for years now. I only hop that person filling that chair and getting the industry back where it belong is someone we know and trust like....I don't know...Our Boi? (TO BE CONSIDERED...)
I’ve spent more money for comics on IndieGoGo in the last two years than I have at my local comic store, and my LCS is awesome. I just don’t want the comics they sell, the comics aren’t fun. I can spend my money on other things that I come with a lot less hassle.
I boycott Gillette honestly and it has really been tough because they have my favorite razors and deodorant. I was a legitimate customer.
Yeah Zack! Look at old comics. I ‘d love to see you talk about New Warriors, Darkhawk, Punisher War Zone, whatever catches your interest. Booster Gold had a couple of good series, JLA was amazing when Morrison brought back the original team, Jonah Hex and Hawkworld by Tim Truman were fantastic, and on and on. Geoff Johns wrote the Flash well, even before he brought back Barry Allen.
Point is, don’t waste your time on bad comics.
Just got my copy of Cyberfrog Team Up variant. WOOO
_Blanco the Great_ 🤔 MAKE IT HAPPEN!! 🤓
Zack someone bought me a copy of your comic. Good work sir congratulations on producing an enjoyable product !!
NPCs have arrived at the final solution to the anti-customer equation.
First time in a blue moon watching his stream. Like coming home again.
I guess another congratulations is in order for Zack. Not only was Jawbreakers successful, but it apparently began a crack in kickstarter that has become a rupture lately. Talk about a double win! Also, I was one of those people who didn't want Zack to stop reviewing comics a month ago because it's very entertaining, but i have to agree that after Zoe Quinn, enough is enough. I can't keep asking this guy to spend his own money for my entertainment that would support a industry that just keep hiring such a terrible human being. Kwanza just has a opinion i don't agree with, he doesn't actually have a DEATH on his resume. I completely support a draw down on comic buying at this point.
Going through some major bad life shit right now and have had a tough year but looking forward to these comics Jawbreakers, Cyberfrong, Graveyard Shift 2, Starblades and Soulfinder Demons match and Deathsworn done by an Irish guy who is only 22 and his book looks awesome so Zack take a look at his campaign All these I ordered physical copies.
Since I am an international backer I did back several digital comics Shinobi Sasquatch, Monster M.D, Sovereign, Brand and Superharem otherwise I would not have been able back these campaigns (shipping costs are sometimes more than the comics cost) and the seas are not an option to me for artists that deserve soo much better so digital is not the best but better than not being able to back at all in my mind. I love creativity and as long as I can I will continue to back it. Gotta tell ya it takes a lot to get a mid 40's lady to be interested in comics but you guys got me (that and Star Trek and all my other Sci-franchises have been wrecked by SJW's) So keep doing what you are doing Zack because your work and effort is loved and your backers like you! This is rare in today's world.
@Craig X What are you talking about?
@Craig X I understand what you wrote. Just wondering if your an asshole. Guess I have my answer.
I'm not going to lie. Blanco the Great is a 10/10 idea for a comic.
Marketing to those that won't buy your product is sadly something we see a lot today.
Splatto Comics Team Up #1: Blanco the Great and Johnny John Cowboy Man!
It was never about content, it was never about business, it was always about control.
Cultural Bolshevism
Oh my god, if motocross is invaded... ItsAGundam's gonna be sad.
One of the things about boycotting something like comics is if you’re REALLY following a series it’s hard to give that up over one stupid thing. Hell even with video games: look how much people have called for customers not to buy borderlands 3, and still my fanboy ass bout that deluxe edition. In actually I think real fans just care about quality. The only way we care about what kind of person is making our stuff is if it effects the quality
I can't wait to see myself represented in the pages of Blanco The Great!
#AlbinoRights
Have you forgotten about those "Comic Book Hoarders" Comic Book "Fanboys" Who call themselves "Collectors" who have turned their "Mom-house" The bed-Room, or Basement Bed-Room, some Attics or their own Apt# ,Boxes on top of Boxes of Comic Books since the 70's , You can't say "They plan to Boycott a Comics cause they Never brought the comic before. You don't know if they did buy the entire Volume series or NOT!
Blanco the Great would be an awesome comic book character - ' He's blonde, he's bright, he's the whitest of the white '
Zack...that's more than 700.
Come on, Zack.
I’m on Twitter. I like reading the insanity...here’s the rub..you don’t interact or get a emotionally upset with the ignorance or hate on it.
I DEMAND to hear more about Blanco the Great!
Comic book sales would be tenfold of the current figures if not for the utter sociopathy and extremism running the bulk of the industry at the moment, as, even if the increase in sales to teenagers and young adults were still low, at the very least more adults in their 40s and 30s would be buying them still.
so glad i never used twitter. only had a shell account to do contest entries.
Oh don't worry, Zack.. there's a lot of fun to be had with indie books.
Some are very good, others are hilariously bad. They got ya!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on JJ Abram's Spider-Man comic. I thought it was pretty decent, and the art is fantastic
Just read Tom Wolfe's Maumauing the Flakcatchers. Pretty much sums up what's going on with Twitter and dumbass companies like Marvel. Highly recommend to my CG friends
If SJWs make up .02% of the country’s population, that about 65,000 people, and they all bought one comic... I forgot where I was going with this.
Somewhere in that Pile,is a copy my wife bought for us to enjoy! Great vid Zack.
I've been boycotting the NFL since birth. Hell, I even played football as a kid, and when asked who my favorite player was I had to ask who the nose guard (my position) was on the local big league team. I have no concept of what I'm trying to get the NFL to do by not watching or paying for merch, as I care not, but apparently it's a boycott by this logic.
we really need to give toxic SJWs a new name. I recommend False Injustice Trolls as they find false injustices and troll online people till they get there way.
FIT I like it can that be made into a hashtag
Way back in the day, when I was growing up in a small town not too far from ya boi Zack, I would have Jehovah's Witnesses come to the door during the summer. Usually two ladies, occasionally with kids. They'd preach, we'd debate, and often I literally play Devil's Advocate. They'd get disturbed and leave. It was all summer long, several times each month. Bear with me--this is going somewhere. A year later, I'd make friends with a kid whose mom was part of that cult--er, religion, and he explained it to me. I was a training exercise for their new people going door-to-door. If they could get through talking to me without getting triggered or having their faith shaken, then they were good to go. So the next summer I was even more antagonistic. They showed up more often as a result. I got tired of it, eventually, and stopped answering the door. They stopped showing up.
Point is, SJWs are a lot like this. They get resistance or push-back, they pile on. Stop answering the door, they strut around victoriously for a bit and move on. The delicate balance seems to be finding that sweet spot to give just enough resistance to invalidate any damage they can do, before shutting the door on them.
If they were right they wouldn't need to force people to do what they want.
I think I'm with you on giving up on comics. I said I was done with DC in the recent events around Quinn, but I think I'm done in general now that it's sunk in. Independent creators are more deserving, lately.
I didn't know Zoe Quinn was still a thing...I mean a lot like Sarkeesian I thought she just made her money off rubes and disappeared because crime pays.
While i worked in retail my pride was to get the customer the best solution for what they needed.
Those SJWs need a Psychotherapist. I know a good one.
The first issue of the Abram's Spider-man comic is out.
Already ticking people off-mainly because it's not in character. Art is good tho.
Hey guys. White Widow by Jamie Tyndall is great. No politics involved
Ya boi!
I don't know, Al Blanco the great sounds pretty interesting to me.
Is he a magician or something?
Yeah I'm not buying a single issue of ANYTHING from DC until Zoe Quinn is removed. If she's on any current Marvel books my pull box is going to look grim.
it's cool zack. what you're experiencing isn't the desire to boycott. it's consumer apathy. there comes a point where you just don't care to fight these assholes anymore and don't care about the comics/"goods" they are producing, or are being produced at all. unfortunately this is also part of the plan. i haven't been to see a movie in about 5 years. haven't bought a comic in more than that. they've driven my interest levels to nothing, because i just don't have the energy to trudge through the shit storm anymore, and i just decide to stay home. all but 1 comic store that i used to go to has closed, and that 1 store that's left has been heavily infiltrated by spiteful assholes. i can't stomach to go in anymore.
it's a deliberate and coordinated attack on past times enjoyed by a certain demographic.
Find a guy who looks at you the way Zack looks at mail
Funny enough as I watching this i just found out that Marilyn book from msgs got canceled lol black crown might be going under
the ither thing you can't do with digital is "collect" them. digital's fine IMO I've lost a great deal of things like movies and books, but if I want to resell a digital book or a movie I can't not like my VHS of new hope where han shot first.
I buy Green Lantern comics. Can I still purchase CF?
The books weren't given three days later, they were in the works before but should have been cancelled or something. Just pointing out for the hope they distance from Zoe now
