I’ll be setting up a table signing copies of Star Realms: Rescue Run for anyone who wants to come by (will have copies available for sale, as well as some of the last of the stock of the graphic novel of my former web-comic, Flying Sparks, which features art by Dynamite Artist Jethro Morales of […]
The Last Crusade: Christian Artists Who Don’t Suck
Whenever I talk about artist blackballing in the entertainment industry, almost invariably the first argument I come across is “well there aren’t any…” or “there are a low percentage of…” leading to believe that it’s just too hard to find good artists who aren’t insane and/or profess to be Christian. That is a lie that […]
Discovering the Valiant: X-O Manowar (2012) Vol. 2 and 3
Reviewing these together but as one post. Great comic. I think the #PulpRevolution should pick up volumes 1-3 of this immediately as a primer of “how it should be done.” X-O Manowar (2012) Vol. 2 This picks up right where the first volume left off, with a potential alien invasion from the Vine looming, their […]
Discovering The Valiant: Shadowman Vol. 2-3
Last night I followed up on my reading of Shadowman Vol 1 with a volume 2 and 3 read. Though I’m going to condense into one post, though will review separately. Shadowman Volume 2 consists of issues #5-9 which continue the plotline of Darque trying to get back to the regular world. He’s hooked up […]
Bizarre and Deranged Behavior
Senator Chuck Schumer, the senate minority leader, harassed a couple out to dinner yesterday, yelling and screaming at them like a nut job. He got up in the middle of their dinner to point fingers and shout about how someone voted. Just pause to think about how crazy that is if you saw it with […]
Discovering The Valiant: Shadowman Vol. 1
I’ve mentioned this last week how excited i was about the Valiant Universe, because of the relaunch of X-O Manowar #1, which hooked me immediately, so much that I grabbed a trade of the original 1992 Shadowman series… and if you’re already confused because I’m dropping titles without context, don’t worry, I’ll catch you up: […]
Retro Comic Review: Valiant Masters: Shadowman Vol. 1
This book collects Shadowman #0-7 from Valiant Comics’ 1992 run and some character info from Darque Passages #1. Shadowman is an interesting comic. It has a hero in New Orleans, in the Bayou, dealing with the swamp, the nightlife of the city. He’s definitely of that “dark vigilante” bent that came out of Frank Miller’s […]
A Reading From The Book of Jonah
Pastor Tyler Scott at Community Presbyterian Church had such a great message yesterday, I thought I would share this morning. The context is a reading of the book of Jonah, chapter two, of which we get this beautiful passage: 1 [a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 He said: “In […]
Cernovich on FAKE NEWS 60 Minutes Tonight
I for one am very excited. We know how this goes. News media acts like they take an idea (like my very verifiable story about Marvel comics), selectively edits and then completely twists what’s being said in order to attempt to destroy and discredit the person. They ignore the real story, but the thing is […]
Kong: Skull Island
This triggered me. Triggered me so hard in the heart. Because I miss that gorilla, okay? Harmabe, up in heaven, if this movie isn’t a testament to you and your sacrifice, I don’t know what is. He was a good gorilla. Anyhow…I don’t get to go see many movies, other than Pixar or little kiddie […]
GeekChats With Dragon Award Winner Nick Cole (Tue 3/28)
I’ll be chatting with Nick at the link below about blackballing and corruption in the entertainment industry and how the FAKE NEWS media exacerbates the problem. We’ll go live Tuesday, March 28th 2017 at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. ve
The Triumph /pol/ Special Forces: Pepe Team 6
There is an unbelievable amount of Kekistaniphobia out there, believe me. It’s some of the worst hate and bigotry anyone could imagine. Kek is strong, and its power intensifies every time. It doesn’t stop the hate, however. It got so bad that a prominent political campaign tried to defame this entire group of people, and […]
So, I Watched The Dave Chappelle Netflix Special Last Night…
…It was absolutely hilarious. I saw Mr. Chappelle at a really small venue in 2008 in San Francisco, one of the few times I’ve ever made an effort to actually go out to a comedy show. I wasn’t disappointed. His gift for comedy is unsurpassed, and he literally took questions from the audience and made […]
Steampunk or Space Opera or…
Periodically, I get advised that I should stick to one “genre”, and that to really do well consistently and long term that that’s the way to go as an author. That can be true to some extent. I have a friend who sold incredibly well with a non-fiction memoir book, and then when he wrote […]
Comic Review: XO Manowar #1
XO Manowar #1 came out yesterday, a relaunch by Valiant comics who already relaunched the 90s property in 2012, which from my cursory look on the internet met with great reviews. I’ve actually never read either prior incarnation of XO Manowar, and am coming at this as a new reader, which probably is most helpful […]
How To Spot FAKE NEWS
First of all, I would like to congratulate Castalia House for trolling so hard, so funnily, that Amazon itself seems to be thrown into turmoil as separate employees keep putting their most recent book up and bringing it back down, as if no one can decide whether they should “punish” the publisher. They’re also due […]
Comic Review: The Invisible Republic Vol. 1
UPDATE: After I leave a positive review of their book, both @GabrielHardman and @CorinnaBechko blocked me on Twitter. Very weird. Do they not want positive reviews of their book, or people reading them? Do they just block reviewers? Is there a worse intention of that blocking there because of my whistleblowing of the comics industry’s […]
An Update On Marvel Writers And Political Blackballing
Rich Johnston of Bleeding Cool did bring to my attention that there were more books than the ones I listed, and so I went for another week of “upcoming release” for Marvel to go through an additional crop of writers. Wow they have a lot of writers. Still, not one who has anything nice to […]
Retro Review: The Ginger Star by Leigh Brackett
I discovered Leigh Brackett, like many of the books I am reading recently, through Jeffro Johnson’s analysis of D&D’s Appendix N. While this book was not the one listed as an influence for the game, it was the only one my local used bookstore had. While figuring out what to read next, I picked this […]
Bleeding Cool’s Attack Backfires Among Own Readers
It’s pretty easy to defend the truth, as I found when having to deal with a smaller news site attacking me a couple months ago. Look at all these positive comments: Guy hit the nail right on the head… he spoke about them accurately and how everything is going with them My love of diversity […]
How Fake News Operates
Got a nice message this morning to find out I was on Bleeding Cool news, a comic book news website for those who don’t follow such things. Last week, I forwarded them my 2nd blog on the troubles that Marvel is having, after my research going into every single one of their writers’ twitters and […]
Retro Review: Tarzan Of The Apes
I’ve been promising a review of this book on social media since before the weekend. This is the original Tarzan Of The Apes, Edgar Rice Burrough’s classic 1912 novel that spawned more than twenty sequels, endless comic books, a ton of film adaptations over the years, and for the crime of being a true man’s […]
When The Blackballing Gets So Bad Even The MSM Reports
Hollywood Reporter actually posted an article A New McCarthyism today, following the theme of a lot of what I’ve posted about over the last few months, from my own local convention shunning me over politics, to Marvel Comics’ apparent litmus test of only hiring writers of the extreme left persuasion. This isn’t in Hollywood alone, but […]
Marketing 101: Content Creation & Knowing Your Audience
I blog post a lot, and have been active enough for long enough to note trends. I hit upon about one topic per week that my audience clicks and shares on repeat until it gets a viral amount of traffic that I wonder both where it comes from and where it goes the next day. […]
