That guy sounds like he sucks and the book probably sucks too, not defending either in the slightest but your annual-ish reminder of how the Eisners work:

Each year the people who run the San Diego Comicon select six people to be a judging committee, and publishers submit a slate of nominees. These are the six people who were the judges panel this year.

Fantagraphics says if you don't like the book you're a racist thug and the artist says if you don't like the book you're a homophobic thug. Can't argue with that.

There's a link within that link that leads to a really good tear down/review of the book

quote:

Fantagraphics publishes another edgelord book called Red Room that (falsely) touts itself as being “banned in 34 countries”, but this is a book that probably would be if anybody in those 34 countries took a look at it. You’ve been out-edged, Red Room guy!

An indie superhero universe with a distinctly libertarian-right slant, which is being spearheaded by this jackass from the Blaze. It's almost definitely agitprop.

Also why would they go so far to create synergy with the movies for her, compared to like, anyone else? That makes no loving sense.

Which is probably why it's absolutely true, but still.

They're a scoopster for the MCU, and I think they have a pretty solid track record for leaks. I don't know if they've ever leaked a comic thing before though.

Some not great stuff about Iron Circus Comics/its owner, Spike. Interpersonal/management issues but also she hasn’t been paying people.

That’s really disappointing, especially considering how seemingly open and vocal Spike had been about problems in the industry and small publishing. Doing all that and then just not paying people, paying them late, throwing her weight around to effectively blacklist them… It’s poo poo.
