The whole thing is just so soulless, the project succeeded because Eric July is black and the "counter culture" crowd desperately wanted to prove that they're not racist.

A lot of this recent drama is YellowFlash's fault. He rage quit the ComicsGate Twitter community room and nuked it on the way out pissing a lot of people off. Then it came to light that YF hasn't paid his artist for 7 months, because despite saying his book will be released in November 2023 he hasn't even started crowdfunding for it. (It should be noted that YF is one of these morons that likes to constantly criticize EVS about late books) In the meantime his artist's house floods pretty badly and is now forced to live in their back yard in a camper. All of this with no income. Plus he was unable to have a Christmas with his family because he wasn't being paid.
EVS rightfully criticized YF about how bullshit the situation is. Eric July got involved because YF went running to him for cover. EVS was paid to review EJ's books and he said they were shit (they are) and EJ melted down over it. He even ran from a discussion with EVS on Alex Stein's show, which he initially agreed to, because he didn't like that it was being called a debate.
I just want to read good comics.
EVS loves his role of taste maker. People play politics and drama to get his favour and access to his audience.
Writing a single hit comic is hard. Doing it every month is ridiculously hard.
I hope Yaboi Zack learns and Jones his craft to become a great writer and publisher. I hope that EJ gets his shit together.he is riding a few bicycles at once at the moment.
But holy fuco am I tired of all this bitchy drama.
