Comicsgate, SJWs, Fragile Egos, and Valid Critiques

This past week's sniping among Comicsgate-representing Ethan Van Sciver and Eric July and SJW-representing Mark Brooks has been painful. It's time someone asked, "Can't we all just get along?"

Comicsgate, SJWs, and the Real Comics Landscape

It's easy to get confused about how to categorize comics creators. The environment in which they work may not have anything to do with their political orientation. I try here to clear up some confusion I sowed.

The Lesson I Wish Comicsgate Would Learn

You wouldn't publish comics with your name on them if you didn't think both the writing and the art were top-notch. So why do some Comicsgaters rely solely on their art to sell their books?

The Difference Between Story and Writing

In all the pushback to my video about how I'd like to see Comicsgate do better marketing of their books, there seems to be some confusion about the important difference between "story" and "writing".

Who Should've Won the Rippaverse Fan Art Contest?

ISOM #1 - First Impression!

ISOM #1 has arrived! Now...what's inside the book is obviously most important, but first impressions are important, too, and the first impression I got from ISOM #1 is...kinda ridiculous.

ISOM #1 - Irritating from Page One

Why Am I So Harsh Toward ISOM?

Ads in Indy Comics? Why Not?

Welcome to the Era of Campaign Comics
