Political gatekeeping has to stop. Last summer saw a group of guys who were forging ahead in indie comics in a way that was unique. We pushed each others books, cared about the craft, were working toward building a world where GOOD books were what mattered. The whole point of ComicsGate was to point a […]

Alterna Comics’ Peter Simeti Gets Swatted
Things have gone beyond crazy in the comics world. I’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of comics Twitter hate, and I have to tell you, it’s about the least fun thing you can ever experience. For perspective, this is about people making 22 page cartoon books, and grown adults lose their minds […]
Introducing IndyCron
Back on July 30, 2018, I unveiled IndieChron, crowdfund tracking of independent comics from my site here meant to highlight indie books and show how much of a dent they’re making in the industry from their successes. The point was this: we would promote indie books, have a good spot for people to find […]
Announcing The Flying Sparks Vol 2 Cover Art Team!
We’re getting a lot prepped for the next few months of releases. Letters are getting done on chapter 4 right now, and we’re messing with some formatting issues on 5 and 6 to get this all ready to go before the campaign even starts. With our new systems in place, we’re going to have direct […]
Everyone’s Talking Meta-Man!
What a day! Despite having a hate campaign against me where several reviewers said they couldn’t review the book because they feared harassment from ComicsGate, some reviewers were very brave with their channels. Please give them likes and subscribes to let them know that people love them for being brave and being a REAL alternative […]
Meta-Man Special is HERE!
Been hyping this for a couple of weeks, but now Flying Sparks: Meta-Man Special is available, my first release of the year. You can get it in Kindle format on Amazon or you can get it in CBZ from the Arkhaven store direct. The print version is in Amazon’s system and takes a couple of […]
The Distribution Problem In Comics Is Solved
Peter Simeti, owner of Alterna Comics, made a post inquiring as to whether would support a crowdfund to “make a new distribution system” for comics the other day. He’s interested to see what people would pay for that. Overwhelmingly, comics fans acknowledge Diamond Distribution’s role in being a problem for comics, and of course, the […]
A New Year And New Innovations In Comics
Unlike a lot of the guys who launched crowdfunds over the summer who are still struggling to try to get their works done and haven’t figured out what to do on distribution as they’re exploring the same tired traditional options which historically don’t move the needle at all, we’re continuing to innovate and make the […]
Some Cool Crowdfund Comics You Might Not Have Heard Of
I know it’s closed to Christmas and we’re all tapped out on presents and the like, but splurge a little on presents for yourself. We’re here to help indie comics, that’s what we want to do to create a thriving replacement industry for the failed business model Marvel/DC have set up. And there is no […]
On Bullying And ComicsGate
One of my main principles is I’m anti-bullying. I started #ComicsGate because I received information as a journalist that Richard Meyer was being bullied by professionals to the point where he was going to get harassed at conventions and possibly have people harm him physically. I defend those who are bullied. I pick up the mantle. This […]
It Must Be A Slow Sales Month For ComicsGate
Looking at the December numbers on IndieCron, an idea I helped start but now they blacklist me from being mentioned because they’re ordered to, it’s pretty dismal to look at. The outrage cash has pretty much disappeared into the coffers of a frog comic that may or may not be ever made, and to a […]
Flying Sparks: Meta-Man Special Cover Reveal!
I’m pleased to present what will be the art for the cover of the Meta-Man special, art by Mike Abuan and colors by Levy Ramirez. Meta-Man takes on his nemesis Doctor Malicious and his communist commandos! You’ll get to see some of the history of Meta-Man in this book, though it doesn’t take you back […]
