Totally Biased- General Grudge

Well, it finally happened... I finally got to read Mitch Breitweiser's Red Rooster, kind of. Red Roster is,  as I said in my Allegiance Comics review , the only Indie Crowd Funded Comic Book that I have backed that I have felt that I have been scammed in some way. Its lateness, the mystery shrouded in the Allegiance "Wal-mart deal" and Mitch's lack of openness and communication with his backers over the books status was just a bad look over all. But tonight I finally got the email that I could at least read the digital version, and I would be lying if I said that progression of events didn't add even more fuel to the fire of criticism by many fans on Twitter saying that the Breitweisers "don't seem to know what they are doing". The comic is labeled as a "preview comic" and is only 24 pages which is half of the 48 promised to backers almost two years ago. So not only do we not get to read the full comic book yet but we also get...

When the IndieGoGo started for  Doug TenNapel's   BigFoot Bill 2: Finger of Poseidon  I was introduced to a new artist I had never heard of before named Sean Gordon Murphy because he drew the cover for the new book. I liked the cover and decided I would go and buy some of Murphy's comics and see more about the artist. So I went to Amazon.com and bought a copy of the trade paperback "Batman: White Knight" hoping I had found another comic book creator that I might like. Even though TenNapel and Murphy have different religious and political beliefs, they were still friendly and worked together anyway. If you're very young you might not believe this but that was how most people used to be in the United States of America before the rise of corporate cancel culture. But not anymore... Some faceless, generic SJW journalist became aware of this business agreement and began a zealous, nonsense fueled cancel culture crusade against Murphy by slandering TenNapel by...

I got my copy of KYRIE: The Curse of the Macedonian Scroll ALMOST THREE MONTHS AGO . Since that day I have read it three times but never got around to writing a review about it... until now! Kyrie is a beautifully illustrated book with art by Matt Crotts . It is a pseudo-historical story that takes place in the year 250 CE and deals with a character that intends to steal a valuable jewel and accidentally gets involved in a much larger and more dangerous conspiracy than she bargained for. I will not talk too much about the plot and spoil it for anyone who will want to read it . But I will say this much, you will find it a nice change of pace from the regular crowd funded comics fare readily available today. It is packed with originality and a fresh and pleasing art style and will probably not be like any comic you have read before. The graphic novel's author,  Matt Crotts , is a very likable person that I enjoy to follow on Twitter. His timeline is often full of intellige...

So my comic books from the  Allegiance INDIEGOGO came the other day, and I read them and they were so mediocre I almost forget to make a blog post about them. The whole Allegiance business model, and those who run it, is so clandestine and confusing it is hard not to look at it and feel you're being scammed in some indiscernible way. Of course that perception may just be psychological on my part because I do know that Mitch Breitweiser is involved and his campaign for Red Rooster is the only crowd funded book that I have backed so far where I've felt I've been ripped off. I really only have myself to blame for backing it because I did so out of emotion and for the wrong reasons. As best as I can now remember, Mitch accidentally liked some negative Cyberfrog review, and that one liked post sent Ethan Van Sciver on an emotional rant against him. I have always been prone to start paying attention to people EVS hates so I backed Red Rooster on a whim against m...
