My answer to Don would be, "The guy at the hardware store WOULD complain that the hammers suck if they were rapidly and consistently declining in quality and due to their poor performance, customers are deciding not to buy them anymore. See how that works, moron?"

My wife and I have avoided it so far. She has fibromyalgia, so we have no idea how bad it will be for her if she gets it. Could be mild. Could be fatal. Not tryin' to find out which.
This is an encapsulation of the kind of respect Marvel and DC have for their audience anymore. The fact that they think this is suitable for a cover speaks volumes about how they feel about the comic book market.
Hear me out here: Yes, I know what Alison Tyler (real name Courtney Byers) used to do for a living and I know Disney is not likely to work with her. AND I've been told to 'stop fapping' about her. Whatever. She CAN act. I think she would have been a perfect casting for She-Hulk.

ComicsGate is not a "hate group." We don't endorse Anti-LGBTQ+, we don't endorse Anti-semetism, we are not bigoted. We are a diverse group of comics creators who include P.O.C., gays, and people across the political spectrum. To believe otherwise is to judge without knowledge.
I paid this compliment to him on stream last night and it's worth mentioning again here for the Twitterverse: Aaron Lopresti is a professional. Not just because he is paid to produce amazing comics, but also due to his considerate professionalism. Kudos to one of the best!
Stephen King tweeted "So, the white guy goes free .. is that the message?" I replied, "Nope. The message is don't join a mob of people burning down a city and attack someone who is armed and trying to defend it. You might get shot."

Well, you started out with "I have 6". I assume therefore you started out with 8. You broke, fried and ate two of them, so you now have 6, as you stated in the first sentence. So, six were left.

It's events like this that are so unjust that really make me livid. For the organization to allow the removal of a very successful channel (which has been built over a LOT of time and effort) for arbitrary reasons or some schlub's whim is ridiculous and cruel.

Yes. One time, a woman said to me, "You don't have to hold the door for me because I'm a woman." I replied, "I didn't. I held the door for you because I'm a gentleman."

A HUGE thank you to all the backers of this amazing project! I am grateful and excited to announce that Projectile Reptile reached its funding goal during my YouTube show tonight! Thanks to every one of you! Hail

The project will be going into InDemand tonight!
I don't care who you voted for, what gender you are attracted to, what pantheon or god you worship (or none), the color of your skin, how you dress, etc. Just be a great person and make/enjoy great comics.

Another comic I backed came with no bag and board. Because the book and the stickers were just loose in the bubble envelope, the stickers both got cut in half when opening.
Creators! You HAVE to include properly bagging and boarding the comics as a part of customer service!
What comic book character needs to have their own series (or a new series of their own, but done correctly)? I'll start (they still haven't gotten this one right):
I'm a 'member' of this Network of Diverse Indie Creators, known as
#ComicsGate
. Yep, there are POC, women, people of varying religions and sexual orientations. Truly welcoming to all. If you don't believe that, it's because you haven't given us a chance and learned for yourself.
@nickiclyne
No. It seems no matter the topic, if we criticise, we're mansplaining things or being misogynistic. If we compliment, we're sexually harassing or condescending. We can't win. Men are learning to speak less and less and then women wonder why we're withdrawn and overly stoic.
There's another "big name creator 'circling' around
#ComicsGate
". That's
#Bittersweet
. The more 'big names' that declare CG, the more awesome projects will be created in CG. But the big names get backed immediately and the lessen-known creators are getting lost in the shuffle.
Just had a long-time friend & collaborator tell me he "cannot in good conscience be associated with anything to do with CG." Another example of a shallow, closed-minded simpleton believing hate-filled rhetoric instead of ... [1/2]

@thebradfordfile
The high does not matter. Current price matters. This offer was higher than current price and they rejected it to the detriment of the shareholders, demonstrating they aren't concerned with the shareholders best interest.
In the last two days, I got Hammerella: Thundersmoke, Only Death Can Save Us: Techstone AND Cyberfrog: Rekt Planet!! Late? Yes! Fulfilled? YES You people who claim this is a grift can go pound sand.

ROCKS, BITCHES!
The Dojo Kun Comics' Projectile Reptile campaign has been extended an additional 30 days! A new add-on has been added to the campaign (full-color comic-sized print of the Peter Orchard pin-up)! Help make it happen for Dojo Kun Comics!

for backers of a physical tier on both campaigns. Here is a vid with more details.
As you're being reminded to back campaigns that have raised over $100,000, please also remember to consider backing projects created by people who haven't been industry pros for decades, but are still putting out high quality graphic novels. Look for some which are under $10,000.
@WKortepeter
I love how you post this "fact" with absolutely no other reasoning, purpose or motivation. You're implying it's a inappropriate thing without proposing why you think so. This is intentional divisiveness once again.
There was a fraudulent campaign on

, which we brought to their attention and they responded that it "wasn't in violation of their terms of service." I am a Fraud Examiner, so I got the Federal Trade Commission involved. Only THEN did KS take it down.

So, this just happened. SJW's are small-minded simpletons causing harm by spreading lies about people they don't even know. That is their only intent. They don't create, they just tear down. Fuck all of them! Assholes.

@ProfessorLogos
Your sexuality should in NO WAY be evident to your students, whether you're straight, gay, bi, or some other variation on the theme. The sex you have should have NOTHING to do with being a great teacher. All orientations can be great teachers and that should have no bearing.
Very heavy heart this morning. My wife and I lost another one of our high school classmates yesterday. At just 54 years old, she suffered a severe bug bite of some kind overseas and died within days. She was always such a sweetheart. 😭😭😭
Michael Bancroft (

I know I thanked

Did you know that the term "cop" to refer to a law enforcement officer isn't actually a short form of "copper," but rather it's derived from the acronym from the original police force in Europe calling the Constables on Patrol?

?? I just learned this today. I knew there were reasons I kept saying this offbeat series was a hidden underrated gem!
I've read comics for more than 45 years now. I just read two graphic novels that I would consider to be among the very best I've ever read. If you haven't read these yet, you need to find yourself a copy and enjoy!

@petersimeti
Have you taken a look at the IGG campaign for Projectile Reptile? We're just $56 away from the $6K stretch goal! Help make it happen for Dojo Kun Comics!
@pvponline
Here's the thing: You're parroting what you've heard about the group without researching it and judging for yourself. You also can't point to the antics of even a handful of individuals and claim everyone in the group of thousands are the same.
I have come to realize that I can be super-jealous of someone's comic book success/sales AND super-supportive of them (hoping they succeed even more). It took a while to reconcile in my head, but I think I am there.

Creators and fans, when a campaign's stretch goals are reached, should the backers have to pay more to receive them, or are they supposed to be included for no extra charge in each physical backer's package?
(Actually asking for a friend. I know where I stand on the topic).
@buggy_con
This is exactly what happened to Chuck Noland in Cast Away (starring Tom Hanks). It's completely understandable, but made me feel terrible when I saw the film. Doing this to Peter is cheap and lazy.
@SammiSueWinters
I make sure that bad actors don't funnel their criminally received funds through legitimate companies to make their income appear to be legal and I interrogate suspects, research financial transactions and review fraudulent activities.
A little worried. Not gonna lie. 4 days into the campaign and only 11 backers. Tōrō Tales

was a monumental effort bringing together a lot of indie comics creators to craft super-hero stories introducing some amazing characters. Help spread the word!
On the Dojo Kun Comics YouTube channel, I am at 79 subscribers and looking for a lot more! Come see the short vids, the mid-length interview vids and the live streams with guest co-hosts and guest creators on The Dojo Kun Shill Shack!
I don't always agree with my friends, but dissenting opinions means we're different people with different life experiences. When we disagree though, we're civil to one another and respect each other's point of view, even if we're not persuaded to change our stance.

People will tell you comic books are a child's hobby. Do what you love. If your 'crack' is creating comics, create the best damn comic you can. THEN go back and make another one, even better than the last one!

Comic creators: When you commission a piece from an artist for your upcoming comics projects, is it proper etiquette for them to post the piece without asking if that's okay?
Bruce has been hunted by the US military, witnessed the eradication of literally half of the universe, struggled with death and destruction all around him for more than a decade and the death of Natascha, but poor widdle Jenny gets cat-called? Oh the tragedy she endures!
Do you see your name here?
You don't? Why the hell not?
Make sure you hit me up if you want to be on our show on Dojo Kun Comics. We'll shoot the shit, talk about the topic(s) of the day and talk about your campaign too.
