Hello, I was reading into #Comicsgate business and I was thinking; "what a bunch of nobs." What comics should I support to piss the #Comicsgate crowd off?

That bullshit seems so tied to going after any left leaning twitter conversation and not the work- or when it is about the work it’s them being mad that some character that a corporation took from it’s creators has been changed from the standard power fantasy it was. The whole conversation is so far away from even being about good work or art. 

Some turd in a human suit put out a list of creators to not buy work from, but if I’m being honest it’s about half people whose work I think is worth reading & half who I’m not a fan of– but obviously that is less important than how shitty it is to target someone for harassment because you don’t like their twitter or gay Booster Gold issues they worked on.   

My two cents would be to instead just go looking for work that speaks to you. 

Seth T. Hahne put out a fantastic list of his favourite comics of last year that you can read here. 

One book I really enjoyed last year was Anti-Gone by Connor Willumsen (Published by Koyama press) 

Emily Carroll just put out a new book that I haven’t read yet- but I’ve never not been impressed by her work.

A Land Called Tarot by Gael Bertrand, is pretty great & is available in trade now

. Mirror by Emma Rios and Hwei Lim is fantastic stuff

Hung and O’Malley’s Snotgirl is really fun stuff

Hamletmachine’s Starfighter is really great (NSFW) stuff It’s online here

Munoz and Sampayo’s Sinner just got reprinted too. Great detective comics from Europe via Argentina 

But that’s just what I’ve been enjoying. There’s sooo much work out there that touches on everything from so many perspectives– I’m embarrassed that so much of comics is still man babies complaining about what’s going on with superman’s hat or what the fuck ever.
