Totally Biased- General Grudge

I think it is always important to give credit where credit is due in Indie Crowd Funded Comics when a creator goes out of their way and gives their customers more than they bargained for. I did my best to express this once already about  Doug TenNapel's   Incredible IndidGoGo Campaign for Earthworm Jim  and how he went above and beyond by giving everyone way more than they paid for, and it looks like Doug is at it again... Doug created another  Crowd FUNDING CAMPAIGN for EarthWorm Jim on KickStarter  and I wrote  another article why I felt people should back him because of his record for great customer service  and how I planned to buy a tier with a page of Original Art Work because I regretted missing out on doing so the first time. This turned out to be a great bargain for me and everyone else who took the plunge and backed a tier for original art because Doug ended up gifting them all a second page of art, FOR FREE! This was a very generous gesture for him to do and

The impetuous and powerful Mari Sue is back and ready for action and this time she is on Kickstarter , and I want to share my totally biased but unsolicited opinion why you should give this comic book campaign a good look. If you missed the last campaign and didn't get the first two issues (volume one) of this beautiful comic book by  George Alexopoulos don't fret, the  NEW CAMPAIGN  makes it easy for you to catch up. George  proved himself as one of the most skilled and talented upcoming artists in the crowd funding scene with Mari Sue's last outing. His art is incredible and beautiful and should be rewarded with great success if there's any fairness in the industry. I am not exaggerating the significance or the extent of his ability at all. It is important that you do not take my opinion as hyperbole in this case. It is just true. Even at a relatively young age George has already shown he is a master artist and his work looks effortless and spect

Just last night I was emailed the digital version of a comic book I backed on IndieGoGo called "The Book of Ruth" written by  Meredith Finch  and with art by  Colin Dyer  and it's quality and impact has been a pleasant surprise. I knew nothing about this book or it's creators until I randomly caught a live stream by  Jon Del Arroz  and decided on a whim to back it on his recommendation and also because I enjoyed the interview with the writer. The story of my trying to back the book was a funny and yet frustrating one. Since I liked what I had been hearing I desired to back the book immediately in the stream to support both creators but every time my card was declined by IndiGoGo. This worried me because I had never had a problem with the website before and started to fear there was some problem with my card. Needless to say I was unable to back the book during the live stream and this vexed me and made me paranoid for some stupid reason. I called my cred

Going back, almost as far as I can remember, my first loves were always Star Wars and super hero comic books. And from that love of comic books I got the desire to draw and over time wanted to be a comic book artist more than anything. From the time I was very young, and all the way up through high school, I loved to draw my own comic books and created countless versions of my own super heroes and universes. As I got older I eventually got the internet and soon began to seek out other kindred spirits who also shared my love of comic books. This lead me to create a Yahoo Club back in the day (which later Yahoo would change the name to groups) called Original Comic Creators Club, or OCCC for short. This club was full of lots of *very* amateur artists like myself and we would share our love of comic books and eventually started to create community comics where we took turns writing and drawing sections of the same comic book and I created a web site later to display and

I backed  Ryan Haack's  Bric -a- Brac #1 on a whim after seeing him guest host on a stream with  Mike Miller  and  Edwin Boyette  a few months ago. I did so because I liked the young guys enthusiasm and passion that he showed for his project. The price on  IndieGoGo  wasn't bad either so it was a not a big investment for me to try out a new creator that I had not heard of before.                                                     Yesterday Bric -a- Brac #1 arrived at my door on time and as advertised and in satisfactory condition, so the kid is ahead of the curve in that regard compared to most of crowd funding campaigns, and I think that actually means a lot. Bric -a- Brac is a Christmas themed comic book told in a child friendly style and seems inspired by many of the old school, secular Christmas cartoons and specials of the past. There is a charming and commercial feel to the story. First let us talk about the best part of the comic book and that is the art which i
