hey, what does it feel to know that you are part of the wacko club who murdered the comic industry??

I assume this is coming from some deep misinformation.  

The online comics bickering is fuelled by pundits who don’t seem to have much real understanding of how the comics industry works. people online paint some false pictures to serve their own agendas with little or half understandings of what’s actually going on. (Did you know Spawn is selling really well right now?) 

 Iceman being gay 

(or whatever people are mad at this week)

doesn’t ruin comics– making more comics for different types of readers actually makes sense if you look at what areas of publishing are growing– and on the other side trying to tear down Robert Crumb (or whatever people are mad at this week) is just old puritanical policing in a new hat. Both sides just suck and have traded in love of comics for venom. 

So maybe instead of being part of some mob on either side try to find work that you love and are excited about, support that-There are sOOOooo many great comics out there-

- Have you read Kill 6million demons? It’s free online and Image also publishes it

Did you know Johnny Christmas just adapted William Gibson’s unmade Aliens 3 script into a new comic that Dark horse put out?

I’ve been reading this amazing fantasy porn book that Incase puts for free online called Alfie (that you can read here (NSFW) 

Not to mention the vast history of world wide comics –Right now I’m reading Crumb’s Kafka,

 Golgo 13 

and the new Rumiko Takahashi comic-

- Even Otomo has a new comic coming out! 

 The art form is healthy– past that I honestly don’t understand why anyone would care how the industry is doing if you’re not financially tied to it. Do you get a cut if it does well?

I’ve been reading comics since I could read and now I’m like 100 years old with grey nose hairs and I still discover new comics constantly– (Yesterday I read a new Moebius short story I’d never seen)  –  life is too short to pay attention to entertainment you don’t like– Days go so much better if you try to focus on things that inspire you instead.
