Penny Parker announced she’ll be taking on the corruption in the comic book industry, focusing on the familiar faces of Gail Simone and Kelly Sue DeConnick. As a journalist, Parker is most famous for exposing a “whisper network” of creators and media conspirators. These industry professionals allegedly formed blacklists, hired based on nepotism, and conspired […]

The Top 5 Alternative Indie Comics That Destroy Mainstream Wokeness
I’ve hesitated to write this because I have so many friends in the arts, especially comics, who are making conservative or right-leaning alternatives to Marvel and DC’s woke content that’d be killing the comic industry. If you’re not on here, sorry! These are just my top 5. It doesn’t mean yours isn’t good too! Obviously, […]
What Is Top Grift?
What’s going on everyone? I haven’t written a blog in a while so I figured I’d write a quick primer/explainer of what Top Grift is . It’s a deeply layered joke as far as the campaign goes, but there’s a very real, very good book at the bottom, which is not a joke — it […]
Ditko On Heroism and Truth
I found this video of Steve Ditko speaking as to what a hero is and should be, on ideals and truth, and how important those ideals are to story. I’d never heard Ditko’s voice before, and though he’s obviously not an orator or salesman like Stan Lee while reading this script, his ideas are what’s […]
Here’s What You Need To Know On Flying Sparks Volume 3
This series is about to get wild and blow up. Tomorrow, we launch the third volume of my superhero epic, making me one of the only people in indie comics to be able to bring about a quality book at an issue-per-month equivalent since I started delivering last year. When we started, people were clamoring […]
Twitter Suspends Cartoonist For Pro-Life Cartoon
It doesn’t matter how big you are, how well known you are or not, the thought police are going to come after you. Mike Harris drew a cartoon likening the “they’re not really humans just clumps of cells” to the way the Nazis treated their victims in gas chambers. It’s a very poignant cartoon, and […]
Who Would Want To Work For Big Publishing?
DC Comics just announced that they are shit canning Tom King from Batman, a writer praised for his work on Mister Miracle and largely responsible for a lot of the acclaimed work in comics right now. He had a full arc planned for 100 issues, a storyline that wraps up over that period, and everything […]
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 […]
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 […]
Flying Sparks Volume 2 Is Live!
I left you with a cliffhanger in volume 1… …the resolution will leave you breathless. Mob Ties picks up right where book 1 left off, and I put my foot firmly on the action gas pedal and never let up. It just gets bigger, crazier. There’s new deadly villains. There’s new devastating secrets. There’s new […]
I Fought With The Mob And I Got Ties #FlyingSparks
Only 6 days until we launch Flying Sparks Vol. 2: Mob Ties. I’m so excited. Flying Sparks has been so well-received it’s rejuvenated my love for comics all the way around. My vision when I created this was to get a superhero world that transcended comics. I want to expand to audio dramas, film, and […]
