Magic Mirror Comics Is Your Local Passport to the World of Gaming
Posted on 03/16/2018



If I’m reading this right, Heather McFarlane took over MagicMirrorComics at the beginning of 2018 and kept making terrible decision after terrible decision causing the business to close down.

Strike 1, moving from a mall to an outlet store.

Although it can be expensive to have your comic shop in a mall, it’s way more accessible to new and regular clientele. Moving costs, which we all know would have been inexpensive if you knew what you were doing and offered some free comics to your clients for helping with a move. The GoFundMe attempt leads me to believe that Heather fucked up early in her ownership, she didn’t just ask for moving money, she asked for enough money to operate her shop for the first year of operation.

Strike 2 and Strike 3, virtue signaling about Jawbreakers and banning Dylan (RealComicBookGamer). Fine, you don’t want to stock it, but kicking out a customer with a Pull list over this petty shit pretty much was the last nail in your metaphorical coffin. You didn’t just piss off Zack and the CG spergs, you made yourselves look like asses to neutral parties.

It took less than a year for Heather less than a year to completely tank a (somewhat) successful comic store. Now MMC is just another shop among the growing number of closing shops, only this one was almost intentionally made to fail by the owners dumbass decisions and virtue signaling.

Morbid curiosity made me look up what the two snowflakey companies listed beside Funko make.

Expensive home made bootleg and tumblr art jewelry, and expensive trademark-skirting nail decals.

I have no idea if this lady bought any of this crap wholesale or not, but if she did, . It's obvious she thought she could turn the shop into a tumblr catlady boutique. Even if you assume 50% of your customers are female, most of them aren't going to be the sort of women who buy weird expensive knockoff merchandise.

Now I wonder if they ever got to hold any art or "maker" events, I assume those would be similar "every woman is just like me" disasters.

For kids. Its cringey as hell to me, but apparently its good for kids. Considering MG&DD now includes coloring pages in the comic, the age range can't be that old:

Also I just noticed - is that a fucking PHOTO background? Did this lazy as shit cover artist just slap a photo there and call it a day? What the actual fuck.

Marvel used to employ the best artists in the industry and now the best is someone who can Google 'big impressive building'?

Comic Crusaders Fires Writer After Nasty Comments Directed at Ethan Van Sciver and Diversity & Comics
John F. Trent June 25, 2018

Comic Crusaders freelance writer Dusty Good was fired from the website after issuing nasty comments directed toward Ethan Van Sciver, Diversity & Comics, and their thousands of fans and comic book readers.

Good’s comments began as typical trolling. He seemed to be relishing in the attention he was gaining and claimed that it was increasing his reach. However, he wrongfully insinuated that Ethan Van Sciver, Diversity & Comics, and their fans are part of the alt-right.

It quickly turned a dark corner when he began attacking Van Sciver and Diversity & Comics.

He would then insinuate that the two of them are being funded by the Ku Klux Klan associating them and attempting to label them as white supremacists.

Fellow comic book outlet, Bleeding Fool, would call out Dusty Good for his behavior and then ask if this is how Comic Crusaders conducts business with their freelancers.

Good would claim he was issued an ultimatum to either apologize to Ethan Van Sciver and Diversity & Comics or be released as a freelancer.

He would go on to apologize to the fans of Comic Crusaders.

However, he would quickly double down on his attacks by stating he was interested in melting a mic against the “Alt-Right comic fans.”

Comic Crusaders confirmed his termination.

Good would thank Comic Crusaders for three years on the site.

Ethan Van Sciver responded to the whole situation by stating that he would create a video about Dusty Good in order to help Dusty out.

Did Comic Crusaders make the right decision to terminate Dusty Good?

Thank you, white man. Alternatively we can look at Superman and Icon as separate characters with their own merits and laugh at anyone who wants to replace one with the other.

You could argue he "shot up" IDW in a way so close enough.

Here we go, lads.

I think they should go for it. And put up a project on KickStarter. all original characters, all original plot, and see how well it does. Couldn't possibly be any worse than the dreck they're pumping out via publishers. And KickStarter would give them the creative freedom to let the whole world know how awesome they all are.

 

[Judge Holden]

Ah sitterson. The "genius" behind possibly the most cringeworthily and painfully bad arc of Crossed, in itself the most cringeworthily and painfully bad non-sjw comic (important distinction) franchise I ever read in which the ultimate edgelord weeen schtick of Crossed collides head on with "REEEEEEE FFFUCKING WHITE MAAALE FANBOYS ARE EBIL BIGUT RAPE NAZIS REEEEEEEEE!" autism, with the entire story being literally "perfect and supremely talented dangerhair womyn comic writer/artist is made a rape slave by evil manbaby nurds who force her to write comics they like while assfucking her until she finally breaks free and takes bloody revenge on them as they whine about her being a social justice warrior when she kills them"

He is also one of the few comic fucktards I would wager as being more likely than Mark Waid or Dan Slott to be exposed as a creeper, due in large part to this comic arc he wrote because it shows how he is literally fantasising about the wammen he white knights being turned into rape slaves until he rescues them by author fiat.

He says, as all openly right leaning comic pros are kicked/harassed out of the comics industry.

[One Man Bland]

"REEEEEEE FFFUCKING WHITE MAAALE FANBOYS ARE EBIL BIGUT RAPE NAZIS REEEEEEEEE!" autism, with the entire story being literally "perfect and supremely talented dangerhair womyn comic writer/artist is made a rape slave by evil manbaby nurds who force her to write comics they like while assfucking her until she finally breaks free and takes bloody revenge on them as they whine about her being a social justice warrior when she kills them"

This seems to be a surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) a pretty common plot used in comics, especially the indie non-superhero scene where presumably there's no one around to slap the pen out of their hand as they jerk off to their progressive rape-and-revenge fantasies. I also remember a similar scenario occurring for the brief run of Judge Dredd with IDW where a bunch of meninists kidnap women to trap them in virtual realities modeled after the 1950s as sex slaves, while never once explaining why they couldn't just make virtual waifus from scratch in order to achieve the same result for half the effort.
