I wish Comicsgate were synonymous with attention to detail, but it clearly isn't.

Over my last two reviews of KOR-DRATH: THE RECKONING, my attitude has declined from one of cautious enthusiasm to one of longsuffering perseverance. Now comes a double-page spread that has me looking for the shredder. Buckle up, kids.

In this presentation on Andy Smith's KOR-DRATH: THE RECKONING, we examine how clunkiness in art, dialogue, and stylistic choices can hinder story.

Why should anyone risk their money on Rippaverse comics when their video offerings are almost always sure losers?

Cover B of YAIRA #1 is a variant I'd like to enjoy, but I just can't.

#Comics #Rippaverse #Review

Dick Masterson's critique of ISOM #1 is often held up as the gold standard of ISOM #1 reviews and proof that Eric July can't take criticism. Does it deserve its lofty perch, though? What if Eric July had good reason not to take it seriously?

It's finally here! The YAIRA #1 campaign is live, so I'll be taking a look at the live-action trailer (which has already given me a crippling round of laughter from its thumbnail alone) and all the books and merch available to buy on the campaign page! What will *I* be buying this time??

NOTE: Sorry, everyone, I did not realize the audio from the YAIRA #1 live-action trailer did not play during my livestream. I also didn't realize that my screen stopped sharing almost 19 minutes in. I'll have to check out Rumble Studio, Streamyard, or some other streaming platform -- probably after I get a new laptop!

I'm sure Rippaverse is expecting a massive reaction to the new *live-action* trailer for YAIRA #1...but I'm not sure it'll be the reaction they expected.

We could have been treated to a testament to mental toughness. Instead we're getting a multi-day pathetic clapback-stream basically shouting, "YOUR sickness is WAY worse than whatever MINE is!"

Here's the match-up you never expected to see: Marvel's NIGHT THRASHER #1 vs. Rippaverse's ISOM #1! Which one is better? Is either one really better than the other? It depends on the yardstick you're using....

Rippaverse haters are on the rampage because the Soska Sisters' YAIRA #1 is making its debut next week. Is their ire deserved, or does their pearl-clutching have nothing to do with the book's potential?

In a rush to get ahead of the news on the Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's 14th Amendment eligibility, Styxhexenhammer666 sadly gets the unanimous component of the Supreme Court's opinion wrong.

It's time to review Andy Smith's newest brainchild KOR-DRATH: THE RECKONING! It's the story of a star-crossed berserker and shamaness in love and on the run from the murderers of their tribe. How does the book hold up to scrutiny?
