Maybe you'd be interested in this instead.
Nah, I don't think a black ancap youtuber with no writing background kickstarting a comic book is going to be the salvation of the comics industry. The odds of him actually launching his own little MCU and it not being dogshit are zero. Not sure why people have been out in force shilling for him so god damn hard this past week. He's not even that big or successful of a youtuber.
Nobody should be giving him their money sight unseen. The product is not released yet. Wait until AFTER it comes out. Dude is just grifting people and trying to monetize them.
Dude's money is where his mouth is. It's not crowdfunding, it's pre-ordering. Also what do you actually even want? If they wrote for DC or Marvel you'd hold that against them. Since he didn't you hold that against him. The indie comic scene is dominated by people outsignalling each other to get picked up by the big 2. He's self-publishing. You're buying or not. Artists, colorist, printers, etc are already paid.
Just because he managed to get a lot of money from consoomers doesn't mean the comics would be any good, that remains to be seen. I've bought (or "acquired") several comicbooks that came out of the anti-woke crowd. To be frank, most of them were pretty shit.
Would I rather read current year Marvel or DC? No, but that's a false dichotomy: there's decades of comics, manga, books or magazines that I could be reading instead. The only disadvantage is that I don't get to support some tradbait based black man. Oh wait, that's not a disadvantage.
Wont know its bad or good until its released. I see zero harm in supporting someone actually making the effort to create something outside the corporate wokespehre. Its not like people are dropping millions of dollars on the thing.
