I want Ed Piskor to be alive. I want to live in a culture that promotes forgiveness along with repentance, because without forgiveness there's no hope for any of us.
IDW is circling the toilet. 30 consecutive days of a closing price below $1 and it gets delisted from the NYSE. For their final act, the woke always cancel themselves.
It's so weird using … I type in the title of a comic I know is funding, and BAM! It appears! No shadowbanning, no weird "community" ( = corporate) standards, no algorithmic suppression… just comics! What an idea! 👨🎓
Today on TimcastIRL: Comicbook artist Ethan van Sciver is big mad that "strange women" joined the comics industry and he now he can't "glorify and exaggerate the female form" anymore.
I've never met this person and I don't know why he blocked me, but I do know this: every time they use this tactic they are retreating, they are losing ground. For their final act, the woke cancel themselves.
@MrGabeHernandez
I reject the idea that The Joker is the "opposite" of Batman in every way. I think he's similar to Batman, and that's why he's so scary.
@kamalameme
Which Muslim women? A Muslim woman in ISIS? A Muslim woman who supports Donald Trump? Are Muslim women only allowed to have certain opinions, and, if so, which opinions are allowed and which are forbidden?
I still think Ultima V is the greatest game ever made. Came with a beautiful cloth map, too. Just a beautiful gaming experience from the moment you opened the box.
Long live

It's impossible, theoretically impossible, to write a "good" woke story because Social Justice Ideology is fundamentally boring. 100 out of 100 woke stories suck.
Fear not,
#comicsgate
, and be of stout heart! Amazing things are happening, and there's so much more to come. Early next year,
@chlorenology
and I are launching The Band of the Crow. We cannot wait to share it with you – ’til then, here's a work in progress.
We. Will. Win.
Want to know why woke "storytelling" sucks so bad? It's because SJWs deny the universality of human experience. All human experience boils down to Identity™. If you believe that, you are 100% guaranteed to fail at writing a story.
When woke creators say they "need" to co-opt pre-existing characters because "no one cares" about original stories, they're really saying "I don't have the imagination to create something new, and I'm too scared of failure even if I did."
The state of Florida never provided medically necessary gender-affirming care to Duane Owen — causing her enormous suffering and violating her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment for the more than 30 years she was in state custody.

Pulling a sophisticated trick here.
#1
: any criticism of changing the character's race auto-escalates into rhaseizzm, and, more importantly,
#2
: any criticism of the show AT ALL auto-escalates into rhaseizzm. 👨🎓
If you don't like my politics, then read my books. If you do like my politics, then read my books. If you have no opinion about my politics, then read my books.
Happy birthday,

Calling neo Tolkien/Star Wars megafranchsies "fan fiction" is a disservice to fan fiction. Fan fiction is created with loving intent, an intense respect for the source material, and no ulterior financial/political motives.
We're moving into a weird, postmodernist fugue state in which zombie Franchises™, science fiction Franchises™ and super hero Franchises™ all merge together into one gigantic Voltron of mediocrity.
Tonight on the Nighthawks: join us & guest

as we talk all about comics, self publishing, her evil plans for world domination… and whatever strikes our fancy! 9PM EST, DON'T MISS IT.
Now that I'm CG I can finally come out and say it: Coke sucks. Pepsi is the lifestyle brand for me and if you can't handle my edgy authenticity GTFO. Thank you
@EthanVanSciver
for allowing me to be the real me.
Disney is doing great! Everything is fine – and! If there is a problem (there's not), it definitely has nothing to do with their hyper-aggressive woke political agenda.
@ArtOfWarlick
@RenieDraws
is the exact same artist she was before you knew this, Matthew. There's nothing even remotely -istic or -phobic about her art or storytelling. Can't you let it go? Why even qualify her as a "female" artist?
Rightside down, downside up… you can read Captain Kleinbottle's adventures forever. (Seriously: FOREVER). Back Jupiter! One of the best things I've read in a long time:
Oren's back!! Continuing his A-Team/TMNT mashup masterpiece on our livestream THIS SUNDAY at 11AM. ALSO joining us: the one & only
@__RiseAgain_
, we're gonna talk all about his upcoming supernatural spy-thiller PSYCHO KILLERS 👉👉👉
Ed Piskor should be alive right now. Cancel culture is real, it's a problem, and it's not going away unless we stand up to it. Join us Sunday, 11AM EDT. Maybe together, next time, we can save a person's life. You never know.
Why DID
@thelucentcomic
gatekeep Mo Biggs? What is he so afraid of, what is he hiding? Tonight it all comes crashing down like a house of flaming cards for Michael Bancroft, don't miss his appearance on THE NIGHTHAWKS. 9 PM EST!
A new psy-op is brewing to label the term "woke" as hate speech. Ignore it, keep going. Keep calling wokies woke. It's effective, they know it, and that's why they're trying to stop you.
Heard from
@RiotPressComics
— she and Patrick and everyone are OK! But seems like there was major damage to their house. Just letting everyone know. If I get more info, I'll post it.
"Race swapping" is bad because it does violence to classic stories, but it's even worse than that: it's based on the premise that only European (more specifically Germanic) traditions have cultural value.
This Sunday, celebrate with us &
@__RiseAgain__
on the fulfillment of his übermega indie comic hit, Terror in the Trenches. Did you get your copy? Did you love it? OF COURSE YOU DID. Let him know this Sunday, 11AM:
Something very strange happened over the last few years: most of my left-leaning friends have become utterly credlous and trusting of corporate media. The same empty suits that sold us Iraq and Afghanistan are selling us Black Lives Matter and Gender Ideology.
Woke means the exact same thing now as it did when the woke were using it to describe themselves. The reason it has a negative connotation is because of the things woke people did and still do. The responsibility is 100% theirs.
Bob Iger when asked about the “woke Disney” criticism:
“The term ‘woke’ is thrown around rather liberally, no pun intended in that regard. I think a lot of people don’t even understand really what it means.”

If
@c2e2
is going to ban creators for having incorrect/impure/unpopular opinions, then they can ban me, too. It's unacceptable and a direct assault on free expression. I hope they do the right thing and reconsider.
Just got my copy of Aquila by
@ComicsAardvark
– NO ONE, not even Aardvark, knows the "correct" pronunciation of Aquila, but never mind: producing a comic is HARD WORK, and he did it. Absolutely brilliant.
It's Monday morning! And that makes me sad. 😢 But then I remember that the

is out there, keeping the world safe from All That Sucks, and I feel warm and safe and happy again. 🌈 bOw!!

Rare to read a comic this powerful. No words, so I'll set the scene: Japan invaded Malaysia in 1941, and a lot of Malaysians joined the British in the ill-fated defense. Honored to know the author,

"I took on C*micsgate and got humiliated, what next? Wait, I know, I'll start attacking Eric July because he's a much softer target."
This is a classic abuse tactic: the decision dilemma. If you accept the abuse… you accept it. And if you call out the abuse, the response is "Hey, relax, what's your problem? It's just a joke. You're such a loser."
Here's what I have to say to Az. I made it a video so I could explain things better. Dm's I talked about are in there. I tried to squash the beef, it is what it is. I'm moving on from this.

Notice the dead, glassy eyes. The affectless, perfunctory, robotic performance. This is cult mania. This is the behavior of someone in the grip of a deranged, psychopathic cult.
USMC Gunnery Sgt John Basilone received the Medal of Honor for his actions during Guadalcanal. Today is the 77th anniversary of his death at Iwo Jima. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross and is the only enlisted Marine to receive both decorations in WW2.
Super Mario did 5x more box office its opening weekend than the entire run of Disney's last animated movie. And we know one thing for sure: it's not because of "woke politics". "Woke" is just a dogwhistle! Right, Disney?
In an hour and a half we're going live with Joe M Sonntag, creator of last year's breakout crowdfunding hit, Reaper Destroyer. PLUS Oren & Ondřej do their art-sorcery on a page for our upcoming fantasy epic, The Band of the Crow. Join us!

Is it possible to get TOO MUCH Von Klaus? Sir, it is not. That's why we're having him on our livestream AGAIN this weekend – that's Sunday, 11AM EST, join us for more discussions of Méxican pizza and revolutionary steam powered dildos 😬
Woke writers find woke agents who find woke editors at woke publishers who sell to woke activist librarians and school boards, who pay in tax dollars. Who cares if no one reads woke books? We're paying for them.
