It’s been an interesting month. Finally, attacks have seemed to calm down. I think this is for a few reasons: Most of the exciting events of the summer are over including Worldcon/my IndieGoGos/ My rapid release of books The Election is sapping the energy of the opposition There’s very little cultural news lately to report […]
They’re Worried About Civil War
I saw rumblings in the last 24 hours in left science fiction author circles worried about a coming civil war. They should be worried. They keep pushing toward that. It’s been amazing just watching the last two years, how they actively pushed me out social media, then the circles where I hung out with them… […]
State Of The Blog
You may have noticed I’ve been blogging a lot shorter lately, not really doing as in-depth of posts and doing a little more promotion. There’s a reason for that. I’ve got severe tendonitis in my wrists and it’s starting to cause other problems — mostly because of how much I write plus play piano plus […]
Nationalism is where it’s at!
Still a better movie than Venom. And #ImANationalist was trending on twitter last night. Good stuff.
SQLite Created a Code Of Conduct And It’s AMAZING
I’m just going to leave it here. I hope everyone abides by it!
Alt-Hero Q Returns
After IndieGoGo pulled their disgusting move by deleting the account and refunding all the backing well after the campaign was completed, Alt-Hero Q returns today on a new platform. I backed this and hope everyone else will as well — we have to send a message to these big tech companies that they can’t do […]
Today’s Lunch Stream Featuring Mike Baron!
I’ve been friends with Mike for awhile now, and am very excited to have him on the stream. The coolest part is every time I look him up, I see he’s done MORE stuff that i loved as a kid. Punisher, Star Wars adaptations of the Timothy Zahn novels, Archer & Armstrong from Valiant Comics, […]
A Free Short Story For Everyone!
I’m relaunching my Patreon in earnest, with a slightly new format as everything comes out. Already got some big tier backers on there so I really appreciate that last night! But mainly, I put up the free story so you can check it out and see the type of content I deliver regularly. The story […]
Busy Month!
I don’t really have a blog topic today because I’m a million miles and hour on all my projects, which are super numerous. I have to figure out how to get the blog off of the malware warning lists too cuz it’s really hampering traffic (and haven’t had time to look into that too much). […]
Common Information Warfare Strategic Mistakes (And How To Avoid Them)
I’ve watched the last several weeks as a certain anti-establishment movement in comics has floundered and lost its way a little. It was bound to happen on the internet with all the winning going on. Huge crowdfund campaigns, nothing but green in the future, but most of the bigger named campaigns were coming to an […]
Still Not Tired Of Winning: Ember War Edition
People have told me don’t do this, don’t do that for my entire artistic career. I get warned constantly about my memes being too spicy, or my journalism being too on target, or being at the center of conflicts where I’m defending free speech, or associations with different friends who are helping fight the culture […]
IndieGoGo Makes Move Appearing To Discriminate Against Right
Most people who follow me saw the news yesterday where IndieGoGo removed not only an active campaign — but one that had completed on its site more than two weeks ago. It appears to be a breach of contract at this point because funds were promises (as that’s how IndieGoGo works), but we’ll see what […]
The Comics Industry Blacklist
I’ve already done a periscope video on this but I was quite amused to see a circulating blacklist from industry insiders. it’s fairly extensive already. I wonder how big it’s going to have to grow before they realize we ARE the industry: Interesting at the very least. And also interesting there’s a number of personalities […]
The Fine Line As An Artist
As an artist it can be tempting to “play the same old hits” and keep the money train going. But artists also need to be flexible and venture out into new content too or everything will get stale. This comes on because I saw Lindsey Buckingham last night, the former guitarist of Fleetwood Mac. He […]
Flying Sparks Out To Digital Backers — WINNING!
I wrapped up a lot of the print process yesterday and got word everything is under way, so I figured it was a good time to drop the digital edition of Flying Sparks to backers. Check your email and spam folders for an email from Jon Del Arroz if you backed and missed it. I’m […]
A ComicsGate Divided And How To Get It Back On Track
It looks (perception wise) like there’s been wave after wave of defeat in the movement to save comics from the clutches of the radical leftists at Marvel and DC. The movement both grew a little too fast and lost its purpose over the last month or so, and there’s a few natural reasons for it. […]
Bounding Into Comics Interview
I was interviewed about The Ember War, Comicsgate, my books, all sorts of stuff. A good one: Back the Ember War here:
When You Don’t Fit The Fake News Narrative
A couple of months ago I was approached by an NPR journalist who said she was coming to talk about “crowdfund comics” and wanted an interview. A few weeks ago, a story ran on NPR torching crowdfund comic alternatives to the mainstreams, libeling them as “alt-right” and spending an hour on doctored interviews to make […]
Last Day For Steam And Country Sale
Last week I launched the conclusion to the Adventures of Baron Von Monocle trilogy, the Fight For Rislandia. This week, both books one and two are on sale, and For Steam And Country is only 99 cents. This is the perfect time to pick up all three books in the series and get in if […]
The Media Only Cares About Sensation
I started reading Hoaxed by Mike Cernovich yesterday, and it provided me with a great context for the last couple of years of fake news. All of it comes and goes so quickly it moves us as a society from one outrage to the next and doesn’t actually accomplish anything. One of the interviews in […]
The Mark Of Zorro In Comics
As the leading Hispanic voice in science fiction, I realized there was a small hole in my pop culture knowledge in that of the character Zorro. Zorro was created in 1919 by Johnston McCulley, with the short novel, The Curse of Capistrano, which ran in the magazine All-Star Weekly. The story was soon adapted to […]
The Internet And False Choices
Kanye West yesterday got in the news because he was both wearing a Trump hat and a Colin Kaepernick jumper. This shouldn’t be news at all, because what someone wears is ridiculous as it is, but Kanye was making a statement with the matter. In the internet age, everything has become a zero sum game. […]
New Book Release: The Fight For Rislandia!
I’ve been waiting to get this full trilogy out for awhile, working hard, making sure all the pieces came into place and now we finally have a complete story of The Adventures Of Baron Von Monocole! The Fight For Rislandia is out now on Amazon! This is the darkest and most action-packed installment of the […]
Fighting The Left And Their Lack Of Morals
It’s a very hard road, and that’s why most people tend to stay out of the fray. As we’ve seen with Brett Kavanaugh, the objective is destroy a person completely and utterly FIRST, and find any narrative that will corroborate that narrative (not prove, just paint it), along the way. I’m very bothered with the […]
