According to Chuck Dixon, Richard often already sits on finished comics and doesn't release them. I suspect the money is now so small for his projects that paying artists is no longer practical.

And for that reason, he doesn't need to banish Narwhal. He alienated him. Why work with an asshole on comics that won't be released when you can work with Millar on comics that will instead?

Because there's a comic book store on every corner of America :stupid:

This guy used to name the various comic shops that closed and opened (guess which one had more names)

So the commenter is right then, because that’s not a sustainable model. If that’s the future of western comics they will die.

We’re already at a point where just buying the comics (even on solid sales) isn’t enough to keep an office going. These companies have to license their IP’s to either break even, or excel (MCU/DCU peaks, video games, officially licensed merch, etc.).

If it’s just go to the comic store, with increasingly less Western comic offerings btw, or pirate, they’re dead.

There's no "suspecting". His last book fundraised 3K, he doesn't have the money to pay an artist.
 
With the way Meyer is fighting so hard against his own talking points, I bet if he had the ability to go back and shoot his 2017 self in the face, he would

Zack talking about comicbook the comicbook.
How much he now thinks the idea sucks, how much of a bother is it to give refuns, how much old comic books were actually shit and modern comics are all great.

Too hard to refund? This nigger took money for this garbage. He better figure out how to make that stupid book or give these people their money back. Pretty sure that counts as fraud and should actually be reportable to Indigogo if he actually refuses to fulfill the project but keep the cash for some other nonsense

If comic books were healthy, then the success of color eReaders would make them a killer app for that platform:


Unfortunately for comics, I don't think comic books are what is driving color eReader growth.

I enjoy reading comics on them, mostly compilations like collections of The Goon and old E. C. Comics, but then I am an "unc" in Richard's cosmology of evildoers. Richard's answer to complaints about comics being overpriced is, "They are all available for free on your phone," which is such a wonderful business model for the comics industry. I do think color eReaders and tablets could provide a new business model for comics and I think eventually some form of comics will become an important part of their content. Richard won't be part of that, he'll continue to be a sad Internet crackpot.

The book as sold by him really can't be done at all. His original idea involved copying or creating derivative artwork from the contents old marvel comics. He claims now that this thing called ---- copyright --- was a total surprise to him.

Minus any content using marvel & DC copyrighted artwork, all he could produce is a sort of textual novel talking about the contents of old comics.

I'm sure he can't do a refund because he already spent most of the money.

Has she actually delivered on any of her projects? I know Gemshock still hasn’t been fulfilled.

Early on she had a fairly solid reputation for fulfilling at least through Jack the Ripper 2, funding in early 2023 and fulfilling in 2024.

She got in over her head with Gemshock and the Pitt Scamnibus. She could handle sending out 400 flat gemini mailers from her house like JtR2, but Gemshock especially was way too big a campaign with too much extra stuff.

I think between production and shipping the scaling isn't working out how she thought it would and she doesn't know what to do. Plus she still has to stream constantly and tard-wrangle Dale with pics of her clam
 
Fatboy sees all the heat Jeremy is still getting and is desperately trying to backtrack his support. Don't be a coward @FROG , you defended him before, don't back down now because people are still mad.
 
RichTard the manga hater working on a manga

Guess in his hatred for it he forgot that manga is generally read from right to left

Or he's just a retarded fucking hypocrite.

Dick is like the most stereotypical "woman talking politics" only for comics instead of politics, all emotion and no research but full of opinions on things he doesn't understand.

The term "manga" (漫画) originates from Japanese, composed of two kanji: 漫 (man) meaning 'whimsical' or 'impromptu' and 画 (ga) meaning 'pictures'. It was coined around 1814 to describe quirky, free-flowing illustrations. -- Copilot, Manga Etymology

Honestly, that looks like it is just the Japanese word for comic book, which also originally meant books of whimsical illustrations. Did Richard discover some lost Japanese ancestry we are unaware of, or did he decide the term comic book is too uncool for school? Or (most likely) is he just trolling manga fans to get hate clicks? We may never know.

So, is this AI looking comic book he's working on based on his stupid Fonzi comic idea? It looks like that is what he is doing here. Is he planning on trying to sell this slop for money?
