None of these people know how to run a business and they're all more interested in running their own grifts than in collaborating each other, so you have a bunch of completely inept little rackets instead of a press with any legs or momentum. There's no infrastructure-- look at how much difficulty many of the ComicsGate people have had actually publishing, distributing, or even finishing their projects. That's going to keep it fragmented and small-scale.

They all suck at business. We know this because they were Dunning-Kruger stupid enough to try and build a livelihood on top of their belief that there's this huge market for "non-SJW" comics out there just waiting to hand their money over to creators who make a point about not being "woke". No surprise that someone dumb enough to start with that belief would also suck at every other aspect of running a self-publishing comic concern (printing, shipping, customer service, even penciling and inking 24 pages).

I do enjoy the CG fanbase who have convinced themselves that the garbage tier artwork they churn out is leagues better than anyone employed by DC or Marvel.

How anybody can tell themselves that Dickie's sub-standard bad webcomic art on his books is good is beyond me. I mean, I get why they don't, but still.

Follow up to that: https://twitter.com/renfamous/status/1240052597043625986 It's weird that the artist screwed her over, yet she's still protecting them by blacking out the name. I thought CG loved Doxxing.

Major Grubert is a Moebius character, not a Marvel character, though Marvel did reprint some of Airtight Garage back in the late 80s/early 90s. They can't even get that part right.

What's a groyper? @anora - if there's a legal action going on she's probably been advised not to publish the name. Court of public opinion and all that.

FMguru posted:Gluestick + scissors + $150 inkjet printer + roll of quarters = Fabulous LIMITED EDITION Collector Coins L(.)(.)K!!!! Those are half dollars, they're worth literally twice as much. Edit: also you can buy custom poker chips with a different image on each side for a buck a pop if you order 100, that's the smallest order the first google result had, larger orders are cheaper per poker chip and while I was looking at the site a chat bot popped up offering me 25% off my first order, that might be a coronavirus thing since I imagine novelty items designed mostly for large parties are taking a hit in the sales department, but i feel like someone launching a fundraiser might spend more time than I did looking for a better deal and find one. I literally spent more time typing this paragraph than it took me to find that deal. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 06:36 on Mar 20, 2020 |

The Art Process Official Term: Colorization Infused Legal Tender Coins - Colorizing coins involves the application of special inks directly to the surface of a coin using a unique multi-color printing process. The result is an everlasting colorized coin collectible of ultra-high quality. We are using America’s largest manufacturer and the creators of both colorized U.S. coins. This colorizing process achieves a level of detail, color saturation, and durability that is #1 in the industry.

I have a couple decent looking coins from lovely loot crates and for that price he just cut out a picture and stuffed it and the coin in a plastic case. And they'll still defend him to the death over this poo poo and sign on for the next one.

Between first seeing this, making a yuck face, and now, I've gone ahead and read his Loki, which is actually really good. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt because the Kibblesmith who wrote Loki struck me as sharp, funny, humane, and fairly with-it. For real, if you haven't checked out his Loki, it's delightful, and it bought him a lot of good will from me. But really no matter what this is bad marketing, and whatever clever twist or subversion he may or may not have up his sleeve is getting buried in a prevailing tone of out-of-touch cluelessness.
