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 […]

Captain Marvel: FINALLY, A Movie Supporting Trump’s Immigration Policies
I’m not going to give the same hot takes as everyone else. You’ll have your movie reviews that talk about the mess that is Captain Marvel. I think the sad part about the whole movie that there’s just very simple choices which are easy to fix and it could have been a fine movie. But! […]
Women Lie About Rape
The #MeToo movement went completely out of control this last year and a half, destroying men’s lives, dragging them through mud, and more often than not, during incidents that are complete falsehoods like in the case of our supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh. Award-winning journalist Megan Fox will be joining us on the lunch stream […]
I See The Same Mistakes In Every Culture War Battle
Every time there’s a flare up, the folk who try to be fence sitters and moderates do exactly the same thing. They’re engaged in a battle because they’re attacked, or some of their friends are attacked, and they try to play a “voice of reason” in this. The problem is, when you’re in the middle […]
A Phenomenal Review + The Lunch Stream with Brian Niemeier
I received about the most substantive review of Flying Sparks to date last night from Elzibar. This person truly understands the importance of character to drive a story, and what I’m going for by proxy. It’s not a puff piece, he has very good critiques on the book but on the story front, you can […]
Never EVER Apologize to SJWs
It’s 2019, and I feel like this has been beaten to death as a topic, but it still bears repeating as we now have the millionth example of someone hoping to get back in the good graces of SJWs who control publishing after explicitly VIOLATING THE NARRATIVE. I need to point people to the great […]
When You Can Predict How Enemies React (SOTU Analysis)
When you easily can predict how opponents will react, you can set a persuasive agenda that is unparalleled. We watched this in action in the state of the union address last night where President Trump has pushed the Democrats to go full tilt. I love watching this strategy in play because it’s useful on a […]
Burnt Out On Fake Outrage
If there’s one thing the internet is good at, it’s fake outrage of the day. For the people stirred up, it isn’t even fake. The passions are real. But the reason people stir it up is for clicks and engagement, not about any concern about an actual topic. The danger we run into is there […]
Amazon’s Tampering With Castalia House Is A Lesson In Anti-Fragility
For content creators, we rely on platforms. This blog is hosted. Amazon sells books. Indiegogo crowdfunds. Patreon provides a stable source. Youtube provides video advertising and discussion. Twitter provides interaction with fans. It’s a necessary part of the game if one wants to have a full career where one is actually getting their content out […]
Interviewing Hoaxed Movie’s Directors
There’s going to be a very important lunch stream today where Katrina and I talk about Hoaxed the movie with its directors. You won’t want to miss this. The movie is one of the most monumental undertakings in culture over the last year. Please like, subscribe, share.
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 […]
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 […]
