As mentioned on Facebook yesterday, I’m moving my memes to a controlled environment where I don’t have to deal with “muh offendeddddd” nonsense by internet whiners who want to fight all the time. If you’re a facebook friend, you can blame gamma males for their inability to just move on when they don’t like something. […]
IndieGoGo Tampers With 2nd ComicsGate Campaign
@ElectricDino12 reports this morning that IndieGoGo has not delivered him his funds on his comic book, Rebel Yell #2, even though the campaign closed back on Feb 21st. “Indiegogo has had since Feb 21st to disperse the funds for our successfully crowdfunded Rebel Yell Issue #2, but they say that the comic has yet to […]
The Next Push Toward Sexualizing Your Children: Marvel Movies
All the buzz over the weekend about End Game from the usual suspects has been that “it’s not enough representation”. “When are we going to have an LGBT hero?” Combined with media posts golf clapping for Marvel for apparently having a gay hero in it (I didn’t see the movie). This is the next big […]
Back To The Grind!
As if I ever left it… but it feels like during crowdfund campaigns I spend a lot more time promoting than I do writing (cuz I do). It drains the heck out of me, believe it or not. I don’t find it super fun to do youtube show after youtube show over and over, but […]
Why Do People Clap During Movies?
It’s something that is pretty much only a part of geek fandom movies like The Avengers. But like monkeys, people in the theaters go and clap during the title sequence, or after the movie, as if they’re applauding someone for an excellent performance… …but there’s no one there performing. It doesn’t make sense. It’s pure […]
Another Convention, Another Banning Over Politics
In the most absurd instance of this kind of discrimination by conventions yet, East Coast Comic Expo has banned creator Larry Higgins from exhibiting his books at their convention. in this banning, he wasn’t accused of doing anything wrong himself — but the accusation involves him TALKING about a controversy which has nothing to do […]
Revolutions Need A Purpose Or They Will Not Last
Waging the culture war is often like beating your head against a wall on repeat, hoping eventually the wall will fall down. It requires a hard head for one, but you’ll find more often than not that people you thought were on your side will attempt to put walls around you. It sounds like a […]
#HimToo – Sexual Abuse Of Men Is Real, But No One Talks About It
Bonnie Randall, a paranormal romance author, stops by to talk about male victims of sexual abuse in conjuction with her new book, Within The Summit’s Shadow. Sexual abuse of men is much harder to talk about societally because there’s no “cool trendy thing” around it if you’re a guy. Bonnie is a social worker in […]
Sparks are FLYING! It’s the Last Day
We hit $15,000 this morning! Which makes me so happy because it means all backers are going to be getting the Meta-Girl: Origin short comic as a PDF. People have asked me to detail out her origin forever and it’s nice to finally get it done. Here’s a sample of the first page of that […]
A Retrospective Look At Matt Kindt’s X-O Manowar Run
One book is responsible for getting me jazzed about comics again after I’d been unexcited for several years. I’d been burned far too many times by Marvel/DC with event after event, retcon after retcon, and just a lack of fun or wonder coming from them. X-O Manowar by Matt Kindt and Tomas Giorello changed that […]
The Final Countdown
We are really close too the end of the Flying Sparks campaign! Right now we’re sitting at a point where everyone’s getting so many indie comics from the community it’s such a great value. But there’s more immediate stretch goals that are obtainable. This needs to be pushed over the top! First up is back […]
Pro-Tip: Always Stay Hungry
Last night one of the strangest things in sports happened that I’ve ever seen, but I’ve seen it many times before. I know you’re anti-sports here for the most part, but bear with me, because it’s relevant. The Warriors, for those who don’t follow, are the most dominant team in basketball over the last 5 […]
$10K Achievement Unlocked!
Last night was amazing! I was out playing worship like I do most Thursday nights, practicing for the weekend with some of the best musicians in the Bay Area, and I come back home, open up my browser, click my campaign… boom! We got there! This $10K number is one I wanted to unlock for […]
Being Content In God
It’s been awhile since we did some soul searching on here, and it definitely was never the plan to get away from that. I did some reflecting this morning on contentment. In our current society, we are probably the worst culture in history about this. Our whole model and focus is consume consume consume, new […]
The Nebula Conference Panels Are Listed And It’s Hilarious
SFWA posted its schedule for the Nebula Conference, and one definitely expects a program mired with social justice causes of the week, but to the extent that it’s gone for a group that’s supposed to be a professional writers’ group that’s assisting their professional authors… it looks a lot crazier than even most local conventions […]
The Ultimate Flying Sparks Offer
Upate: Bustin’ $10K Special We really want to hit the 10K goal cuz here people are going to get an additional free 200+ pages of comics from great creators like Chuck Dixon and a lot of others in the community. To help facilitate this, because this one goal would almost completely get us […]
What’s It Take…
…to run a crowdfund? I answer the questions on the Business of Writing podcast with Joe Solari. He’s a great guy, worth subscribing to if you’re interested in marketing. As you’ve no doubt seen I’ve been putting in a lot of time making the rounds lately. It’s for Flying Sparks and we’re getting down to […]
Amazon Is Getting More Evil
It was only a matter of time before the platform went for full censorship. Roosh was the warning shot across the world last year when they took his book down. Because of who he was, no one listened. Maybe someone will with Tommy Robinson? Under pressure from left-wing journalists and activists, Amazon is purging right-wing […]
Handling SJW Attacks
Since my blog on DC McAllister, a lot of people have asked me for pre-emptive advice on how to handle SJW attacks and getting mobbed online. First off, I have to recommend the book SJWs Always Lie which has a full manual on how to do this, but there’s also my own experiences. First off […]
This $10K Stretch Goal Is Absurd!
We gotta get there as fast as possible. You’re the ones who can make it happen. When I started this comics movement back in 2017, I knew I’d eventually want to release books, but wasn’t sure on the plan. Now it’s become a reality where I’m coming out with books regularly, at a speed with […]
Another Right Wing Scalp Is Claimed…
…by the right. Why do we eat our own? You may not have heard of DC McAllister before. but she’s a writer who’s done a ton of work for The Federalist and The Daily Wire as a staff writer. She’s been doing it for a long, long time, the type of person who’s consistent, putting […]
Expanding Worlds
I suffer from serial worldbuilding expansion. If you’re a reader, you probably like this, because I know as a reader I’d want as much tertiary content as possible for my worlds. I’ve done it for Rislandia as well as for my Flying Sparks universe. I just cant help it. There’s only so much worldbuilding that […]
Video Games Cause…
…something good? Yes, you’re reading that right. I figured we have enough bad news all the time that when I see a good story, I want to repeat it and shout it from the rooftops. A 15 year old girl went missing, and police did everything they could to find her, including Officer Strebel of the […]
We’re Funded, Now Let’s Secure The Goals!
Yesterday was a huge day. The campaign picked up big steam and we reached our target of $6,000, which means the art costs for Flying Sparks are covered! That’s great news. The even better news is there’s much more to come to add value to this campaign. I’ll go over the next few stretch goals […]
