Wes is joined by Comics Aficionados: YouTuber Dylan TheRealComicBookGamer, writer Joe Corallo, comic book critic Joshua McDonald, comic book retailer Pele from Parts Unknown and co-host Dok. The Comics Aficionados break down all the latest comic book industry news and rumors. Leah Williams wrapped up far too many plot lines in her X-FACTOR series finale this week, making it read like a clunky mess. Unfortunately, she also upset a large section of fans with her treatment of Prodigy, a POC LGBTQ+ character. (00:02:58) Williams also wrapped of the X-MEN: HELLFIRE GALA event, which doesn't read much better. In the end most reasonable fans consider the event to be an enormous waste of time. (00:22:04) In honor of special guest Joshua McDonald from batman-news.com, the panel list their favorite Batman stories of all-times. (00:39:06) Grant Morrison announced they are taking a break form DC Comics following SUPERMAN AND THE AUTHORITY. But they had some choice words regarding the recent trend of portraying Superman as an evil tyrant. (01:05:00) ICv2.com and Comichron.com revealed their 2020 comic book industry sales analysis. All-in-all the industry held up well despite the pandemic shutdown, even showing growth in key markets led any manga and kids GN. (01:24:00) Marvel Comics Christopher Cantwell celebrated Captain America's 80th anniversary in surprising fashion. Steve Rogers denounced all that he stands for and declared the America dream dead forever. (01:47:32) Finally, teaser art from new Spider-Man artists portrays Peter Parker fighting for his life after Nick Spencer's ASM run concludes in September. (02:04:11) The Comics Aficionados break down all the latest comic book industry news and rumors.

Comichron and ICv2.com released their 2020 comics sales numbers and there is much debate to what it all means. The traditional Western comic book industry (Marvel, DC, Image) numbers are down but not as much as many predicted coming out of the pandemic. This has led to some in the industry to pretend that stagnant growth isn't an issue. (00:00:00) Perch from the Comics, by Perch Podcast joins Wes to take a deeper look into the 2020 comic sales numbers. (00:21:39) Leah Williams X-FACTOR series came to an end with controversy this week. Williams and others in the X-Men office have made it a point to court fringe elements of comic book readership. Perch and Wes talk about it coming back to bite them this week. (00:42:56) United States OF CAPTAIN AMERICA is supposed to be a celebration of 80 years of Cap. Washington Times journalist Doug Ernst talks about why it reads more like a eulogy. (00:59:53) As recently as 2019 writer Larry Hama maintained that his G.I. JOE creation Snake Eyes should not be Asian. Mark Pellegrini and Wes talk about his sudden 180 degree turn. (01:27:23) Mark then talks about the entertainment industries insistence on portraying irredeemable villains like Cruel as heroes in modern entertainment. (01:46:54) Comic super-fan Eric Breen and Wes discuss the growing trend of downplaying and marginalizing the importance of classic creators like Rob Liefeld, Bill Willingham and others. (02:13:53) Finally, writer Aaron Sparrow joins the pod to discuss why some companies can't let go of hated characters like Admiral Holdo and the Ghostbusters reboot team (02:34:17) and then reviews LOKI episode 4 with Wes. The best episode of the series so far. (02:57:28) Support Thinking Critical at Ko-fi. Monthly subscriptions receive bonus content and early access to some channel content.

Black Rose Alice on Setona Mizushiron kyyninen romanssidraama, jossa nuoren tytön kehoon päätyneen naisen on valittava lisääntymiskumppani neljän vampyyrimiehen joukosta. Ajankohtaisina aiheina puhumme Tokyo Babylonin TV-animesovituksen joutumisesta telakalle plagioinnin vuoksi, japanilaisten mangakustantajien piratisminvastaisista toimista tulevien lukujen vuotamiseen liittyen, siitä miten englanninkielistä mangaa ostetaan enemmän kuin sitä ehditään painaa sekä siitä, miten sarjakuvan julkaiseminen on Suomessa romahtanut lähes olemattomiin. Lukujonossa ovat Rei Toman Kiina-teemainen fantasiasarja The King's Beast sekä kolmipokkarinen sarjamurhaajajännäri Museum. ––– Kommentoi | Twitter | Instagram ––– - New Style Boutique 2: Fashion Forward - Love Nikki - Pokémon X ja Y - Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Carrion - Saya no uta (The Song of Saya) - Hollow Knight - The House in Fata Morgana 10:55 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: ESITTELY - Black Rose Alice - Setona Mizushiro - Monthly Princess -lehti - Jakso 31, jossa puhumme Zombie Cherrystä - Shinobi Life - At Laz Meridian - Cantarella - From Eroica with Love - Requiem of the Rose King - After School Nightmare, Mizushiron lännessä tunnetuin sarja - Dogenzaka, Shibuya - Dimitrin länsimainen kartano (kuva) - Neljä vampyyrimiestä (kuva) 17:24 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: VAMPYYRIT JA MAAILMANRAKENNUS - Vampyyrien lisääntyminen (kuva) - Familiaarit ryömimässä suusta (kuva) - Babylon - Ruusumerkki vampyyrien niskassa (kuva) - Olet vampyyriorjani - Jakso 39, jossa puhuimme Devils' Linestä - Jakso 20, jossa puhuimme The Case Study of Vanitaksesta 27:55 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: TYYLI JA TAIDE - Jakso 34, jossa Maaret valitteli sitä, ettei Setona Mizushirolta ole lisensoitu tarpeeksi sarjoja englanniksi - Heartbroken Chocolatier - Nounai Poison Berry - Vähän vanhanaikainen hahmonpiirtotyyli ja tyhjyyteen tuijottavat silmät (kuva) - Söpöjä vaatteita ja jälkiruokia (kuva) - Mizushiron tyhmät mielipiteet erilaisista sukupuolirooleista (kuva) - Jakso 46, jossa puhuimme Witch Hat Atelierin pokkarista 7 40:54 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: HAHMOT - “No niin, kuka ensin?“ (kuva) - Leo hengittää niskaan (kuva) - Leon ja Dimitrin passiivisaggressiivinen suhde (kuva) - Leffakestit-podcastin jakso 14, jossa puhuttiin vampyyreista - Maximilian (kuva) - Akiko (kuva) - Reiji ja Kai (kuva) 01:08:29 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: JULKAISU - Maaretin arvostelu Black Rose Alicesta Anime-lehdessä 6/2014 (kuva) - Välillä kääntäjä luuli että sukunimi “Izumikouji” on etunimi-sukunimi-yhdistelmä “Kouji Izumi“ (kuva) 01:13:16 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: SPOILERIOSIO - Heteet ja emit (kuva) - On valittava mies, joka saa sydämen läpättämään ja veren kohisemaan (kuva) 01:34:13 – BLACK ROSE ALICE: YHTEENVETO - ANN: Setona Mizushiro's Black Rose Alice Vampire Manga Resumes After 8 Years - Setona Mizushiron blogipostaus jatko-osan ensimmäisen pokkarin julkaisemisesta - Jakso 10, jossa puhuimme Peach Girlistä ja sen jatko-osa Peach Girl Nextistä 01:39:06 – TOKYO BABYLON -ANIME JA GOHANDS-STUDION PLAGIOINTIONGELMAT - Jakso 38, jossa puhuimme viimeksi Tokyo Babylon -mangan TV-animesovituksesta - Tokyo Babylon - ANN: Tokyo Babylon 2021 Anime's Staff Apologizes for Referencing Costume Designs Without Permission - ANN: Tokyo Babylon 2021 Anime Delayed From April 2021 Due to Plagiarism Incident - ANN: Tokyo Babylon 2021 Anime Canceled With Restart Planned, After More Plagiarism Uncovered - Fruits Basket (2019) - Banana Fish (2018) - ANN: Stars Align Production Committee Apologizes For Copying Dance Choreography Without Permission - ANN: Slam Dunk Plagiarism Scandal - ANN: Embracing Love's Nitta Acknowledges Tracing Photo - ANN: Prism Yuri Manga Put on Hold Due to Similiarities to Photos 01:50:57 – JAPANILAISKUSTANTAJAT SPOILERISAITTIEN PERÄSSÄ TEKIJÄNOIKEUSSYISTÄ - ANN: Tokyo Court: Posting Manga Dialogue Without Authorization Is Copyright Infringement - ANN: 3 Arrested for Posting One Piece Manga Scans Before Publication - ANN: Attack on Titan Creator Completes Manga Finale, as Kodansha Takes Actions Against Illegal Uploads - Twitter-hashtagit trendaavat joka viikko ennen uusimman luvun julkaisua 01:55:41 – USA:N MANGAMYYNTI KOLMINKERTAISTUI VUONNA 2020 - Ben Applegaten twiitti ja toinen twiitti - Jakso 45, jossa puhuimme ICv2-sivuston mangakustantajien haastatteluista - SuBLimen blogipostaus painokapasiteetin rajallisuudesta - ICv2-sivuston postaus NPD Bookscanin USA:n top 20 -sarjakuvamyyntilistauksesta, jota manga on dominoinut viimeiset kolme kuukautta 02:01:00 – SARJAKUVAN JULKAISEMINEN SUOMESSA ON ROMAHTANUT - Kvaakin twiittiketju Suomen sarjakuvajulkaisujen määrän romahtamisesta - Suomen kustannusyhdistyksen tilastot - Toinen twiittiketju - Anni K:n twiittiketjut Suomen sarjakuva-alasta ja asenteista lasten ja nuorten sarjakuviin - Antti Peltolan listaus Suomen top 20 -sarjakuvamyynnistä vuodelle 2020 02:09:22 – HAMPAANKOLOSSA - Jakso 46, jossa puhuimme mangasta Secretly, I've Been Suffering About Being Sexless - Jakso 27, jossa puhuimme Everyone's Getting Marriedista - Futekiya poistaa Manga Screamo -sarjat - Jakso 44, jossa puhuimme The Titan's Bridesta 02:16:31 – LUKUJONOSSA: THE KING'S BEAST - King's Beast - Jakso 33, jossa puhuimme Dawn of the Arcanasta 02:27:58 – LUKUJONOSSA: MUSEUM - Museum - Prophecy 02:35:09 – MUSEUM: SPOILERIOSIO 02:41:03 – LOPETUS

Message to Adolf on Osamu Tezukan vakoojajännäri, jossa metsästetään Hitlerin juutalaisen syntyperän todistavia dokumentteja Saksassa ja Japanissa toisen maailmansodan aikaan. Puhumme myös ICv2-sivuston mangaviikon haastatteluista, siitä miten Denpa julkaisee englanniksi March Comes in Like a Lionin sekä Sangatsu Mangan tulevista uutuuksista. Lukujonossa ovat parisuhdeyurisarja How Do We Relationship? sekä BL:t Memento Scarlet ja Nights before Night. ––– Kommentoi | Twitter | Instagram ––– - Missing Link 3:13 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: ESITTELY - Message to Adolf - Osamu Tezuka - Viidakon valtias - Astro Boy -kokoelma 6:27 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: TEZUKA, TYYLI JA YLEISKUVA - Gekiga - Jakso 18, jossa puhuimme Tampereen taidemuseon Tezuka-näyttelystä - Al Taliaferro - Floyd Gottfredson - Tezukan vakiohahmot Acetylene Lamp ja Ham Egg (kuva) - Samat tyypit Viidakon valtiaassa varsin eri rooleissa (kuva) - Acetylene Lampin kynttilä vilahtaa välillä (kuva) - Dramaattisissakin kohtauksissa karikatyyrimäisiä ilmeitä (kuva) - Inglorious Basterds - The Fugitive - Keisarin uudet kuviot 22:06 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: NAISHAHMOT - Kaikki naiset rakastuvat Togeen ensisilmäyksellä (kuva) 25:29 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: KERRONTA -Togen Wagner-painajainen (kuva) - Adolf Kaufmannin viulistipainajainen (kuva) - Kalansilmälinssi (kuva) - Ruutujako muuttuu vinoksi intensiivisinä hetkinä (kuva) - Hitlerin puhe (kuva) - Siirtymäruutujen puute (kuva) - Esimerkki siirtymäruudusta How Do We Relationshipissä (kuva) - Puhekuplien sijoittelu häiritsee katseenkuljetusta (kuva) - Tezukalle tyypillistä kokeellista katseenkuljetusta (kuva) - Tezukalle tyypillistä sirpaleista ruutujakoa (kuva) - Natsuki Takayan Twinkle Stars -sarjan aukeama, jossa sirpaleisuus ei häirinnyt katseenkuljetusta (kuva) - Aukeama sellaisenaan (kuva) 34:19 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: FIKTIIVISET HAHMOT - Sohei Toge elementissään (kuva) - Adolf Kaufmann pienenä (kuva) - Kaufmann näkee Hitlerin sekavuuden (kuva) - …Ja ennen pitkää sen näkevät kaikki muutkin (kuva) - Kaufmannin konflikti indoktrinaatiota vastaan (kuva) - Kaufmannin konflikti identiteetistään (kuva) - Acetylene Lamp syyttää Togea tyttärensä raiskaamisesta (kuva) - Ei nyt ihan sillai mennyt kuitenkaan (kuva) 54:18 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: HISTORIALLISET HAHMOT JA TAPAHTUMAT - Hitlerin sekavuus ja vainoharhaisuus (kuva) - Ja tällaistahan se sitten oli viimeisinä päivinä (kuva) - Hitlerin salamurhayritys - Rommelin pakkoitsemurha - Perikato - Suomen ja Saksan suhde tuntuu olevan vähän epäselvä (kuva) - Neuvostoliittolainen vakooja Ramsay - Ramsay mangassa 01:00:52 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: JULKAISU - Ruutu, josta Verticalin ensimmäisen osan kansi on peräisin (kuva) - Vizin vanhat kansikuvat (kuva) - Alkuperäiset kansikuvat - Blade of the Immortal - Hiroshiman poika - Sivusuuntaiset ääniefektit 01:10:31 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: SPOILERIOSIO (VIIMEINEN KOLMANNES) - Visuaalisesti taiteellinen raiskauskohtaus (kuva) - Naiset jääkaapissa - Kamilin isän kohtalo oli tarinassa jo valmiina (kuva) - …Mutta nyt siihen palattiinkin vasta vuosikymmenten päästä epilogissa (kuva) - Tulikärpästen hauta - In This Corner of the World 01:29:17 – MESSAGE TO ADOLF: YHTEENVETO 01:32:45 – ICv2-SIVUSTON MANGAVIIKKO - ICv2 Manga Week 2021 - ICv2's Top 10 Manga Franchises – Fall 2020 (kuva) - ICv2's Most Efficient Manga Franchises (Dollars/SKU) – Fall 2020 (kuva) - Interview: Viz Media Vice President Publishing Sales Kevin Harmic - Interview: Yen Press publisher Kurt Hassler - Interview: Tokyopop CEO Stu Levy - Jakso 23, jossa haukuimme Tokyopopin Love x Love -julkaisulinjaa pinkkipesuksi 01:49:24 – MARCH COMES IN LIKE A LION ENGLANNIKSI DENPALTA - March Comes in Like a Lion - Honey and Clover - March Comes in Like a Lionin animesovitus Netflixissä ja Wakanimissa - Leffakestit-podcastin jakso 7, jossa keskustellaan March Comes in Like a Lionista - Tekijä Chica Uminon twiitti englanninkielisestä julkaisusta - Denpan Ed Chavezin twiittiketju japanilaisten kommentoijien huolenaiheista - Ryuo's Work Is Never Done! - Niken mainos koulukiusaamisesta ja rasismista (YouTube) 02:00:15 – SANGATSU MANGAN UUDET SARJAT - Weathering with You - Waltz no ojikan / Let's Dance a Waltz - Tokyo Mew Mew Re-Turn - Tokyo Mew Mew 02:03:47 – HAMPAANKOLOSSA - Kodanshan uudet nettisivut ja niiden aloitusviesti - Hyllyy-sarjakuvablogi - The Titan's Bride Futekiyaan - Jakso 44, jossa puhuimme The Titan's Bridesta 02:07:42 – KUULIJAKOMMENTTEJA - Haruki Murakami - Jakso 44, jossa keskustelimme Mushoku Tensein ja Classroom of the Eliten käännöksistä - The Atlanticin arvostelu kirjasta Who We're Reading When We're Reading Murakami - Genshiken - Citrus - Death Note - Jakso 38, jossa puhuimme Tokyo Tarareba Girlsistä 02:24:08: – LUKUJONOSSA: HOW DO WE RELATIONSHIP? - How Do We Relationship? - After Hours - Wotakoi - Miwa yrittää pakottaa itseään suostumaan sellaiseen mitä ei haluaisi (kuva) - Päähenkilöiden erilaiset tyylit (kuva) - Axes Femme - Senpai, jolle tyttöjen väliset ystävyydet ovat aina olleet vaikeita (kuva) - Tekijä halusi tehdä sarjan joka kertoo seurustelusta (kuva) 02:36:08 – LUKUJONOSSA: MEMENTO SCARLET & NIGHTS BEFORE NIGHT - Memento Scarlet - Keri Kusabi - Nights before Night - Kazuki Natsume 02:44:29 – LOPETUS

In this week's episode of Off Panel, Comichron's John Jackson Miller joins to chat about his big yearly comic sales report he did in partnership with ICv2's Milton Griepp. Miller discusses whether the record setting year in comics surprised him, how the report comes together, back issues, whether single issue comics have hit their ceiling, collectibility, libraries, comics vs. graphic novels, misunderstandings of the data, pandemic projects, Diamond's health, the idea of a Dog Man bubble, his writing on projects like Star Trek: Discovery - Die Standing, and more.

Rob covers the Geek Culture from a business stand point for Forbes.com and ICV2.com he wrote the book Comic Con and The Business Of Pop Culture . We talk about the virus's impact on comic books film TV and live events.
On February 21 2020, the comic book world was stunned by the sudden stepping down of Dan DiDio as co-publisher at DC Comics. As of now, no explanation has been provided for the move, with speculation rife over whether DiDio had been fired or had quit the position. With speculation swirling around the reasons and ramifications of DiDio's departure, we reached out to previous guest Rob Salkowitz for help in understanding what's just gone down. Rob is an author, consultant, educator, and is well known as an expert on the business of pop culture, providing regular insights to industry site ICV2 and as a senior contributor on media and entertainment to Forbes. And, with convention season now in full swing in the US, we also took the opportunity to discuss the potential effect of the coronavirus on attendances and potential guest cancellations for events across the country.

Consolidamenti dell'industria ludica e trend delle pubblicazioni più orientati verso il mercato mass market preoccupano i gamer.

Siamo però molto interessati a conoscere anche la vostra opinione.
In today's episode Bruce and Josh take a different format in which they combine the games they have been playing recently with some of the great kickstarters that are going on while wrapping up with some amazing board game business news! The combination format is because both Bruce and Josh work in higher education and this episode was recorded and published at the end of April which is a notoriously eventful season in education. That being said, both of the guys made it a priority to get you useful information so you can make informed decisions for your gaming group. Specific Games Discussed are: Planet by Blue OrangeCryptid by Osprey GamesNusfjord by Mayfiar Games Kickstarters Discussed: Anachrony: Fractures of Time Expansion and Infinity Box by Mindclash GamesTerraforming Mars: Turmoil Expansion by Indie Games Studio: Stronghold Games News Discussed Newest Version of Choose Your Own Adventure Game coming out "War With The Evil Power Master" by Z-Man Games"Hobby Game Sales total $1.5 Billion for 2018" - IcV2 ( https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/43024/hobby-game-sales-total-1-5-billion-2018)Kickstarter Games category surpasses $1 Billion Pledged ( https://www.kickstarter.com/blog/1-billion-and-counting-pledged-to-games) To learn more about Board Game Impact you can: Join the Patreon: Board Game Impact Like the Facebook Page: Board Game Impact Instagram: @boardgameimpact Email: boardgameimpact@gmail.com Transcription 00:00:08 - 00:05:01 Welcome to board game impact in today's episode Josh and I talk about gains you've been playing recently as well as talk through even more kick starters that are really exciting and then share some really phenomenal news for you about the board. Game industry that you're definitely not gonna wanna miss the end of the episode. Stay tuned. Welcome to board game. Impact, if this is your first time, visiting board game impact, I welcome you. So what we seek to do. Here is to combine our passion for board games with our we both work in education, and so we're bringing a research focus to the work that we do for your benefit, so a you can make informed decisions based on what we're playing what we're seeing for the benefit of your gaming group. My name is Bruce Brown and I'm joined with Josh Isringhausen and together, we are board game impact and so we got a little bit in store for you today. I'll be honest, it's going to be a little different Josh just talked about this a second ago. 'cause like I just mentioned, we both work in education in higher education, different universities. And when recording this right now it's the end of April, and guess what? There's a lot going on, on college campuses at the end of April, that being said, we're actually going to be splitting as of you. This is not your first time. Sometimes we do a full set. Kment on gains, we've been playing, and then another segment on Kickstarter or deep dive into a game. And we're actually going to be doing is combining those two things and some actually going to be talking about some kick stars that are going on that we haven't talked about, and Josh is going to be sharing about some games that he's been playing that being said, I am going to get kicked off with a non Kickstarter but it's a game I have played and I'm very excited for it to finally hit the market almost seven months after I, I played it and that is planet by blue orange games. So planet is a game. It's very different than other games in which think of a rubik's, cube holding in your hand. But instead of that it's like a ball and what you're doing is a magnetic ball and throughout the game, you're going to be picking up different tiles and adding them to this ball to literally make your planet, and then you're going to be scoring different animals that are gonna be splayed out in front of all the players for the different types of character. Six of the planet, they got in your hands.

Today was to be a trip for #ConManKen to NYC for some fun and a court appearance. Kenny dodged that by finally telling the truth.

BIG NEWS! Because our Kenta Shinohara podcasts were delayed we didn’t get around to covering a lot of important news from the past couple months. To remedy that, we decided to record a big news-focused podcast to get everyone up to speed! …This was a big bad idea. We accumulated nearly twelve pages worth of news, tallying to over one hundred stories in total! To make matters worse, we began recording late at night after I was already exhausted from drawing for nearly 20 hours that day. Thanks to a spotty internet connection, we ended up needing two recording sessions and over four hours of rough audio to cover everything we wanted to. Needless to say, recording this was a tiring process. You can definitely hear the exhaustion in my voice by the end of this podcast, alongside Colton’s groans of impatience. Though frankly, listening back to this episode I did most of the talking, so it’s kinda funny that Colton was more vocally upset by the experience. ^^, Regardless of how frustrating the process was, this was a necessary podcast to make. Discussing manga news is the reason this show originally came into being, and doing a purely news-focused episode brings us nostalgically back to the roots of our early episodes. Did we go a little overboard in the mountain of content we attempted to surmount? Perhaps. But hopefully you’ll find this podcast as valuable as we found these stories important to discuss. From lists to licenses, endings to sequels, controversies to scandals, and adaptations to anime this podcast is jam-packed with all the stories you need to know to understand where the manga industry is at as of Spring 2018!

It feels good to have finally released the Pokemon Adventures retrospective after months of editing it on and off. Doubly so after refueling my passion for the series upon flipping through the Pokemon Adventures artbook that Viz just put out earlier this week. It’s chock full of beautiful color art and illustrations from Satoshi Yamamoto’s entire run on the series, from the early GSC stuff to the recent ORAS arc. In addition to gorgeous renditions of the cover artwork, there are a lot of great colorized versions of iconic scenes from the manga that you can’t find in the regular volumes, which are a real delight. Even more so is the inclusion of the first chapter of the Pokemon Ranger webcomic Yamamoto drew back in ’06, which has never been collected in graphic novels before or translated in English! Yamamoto promises that in the next artbook, he’ll include more chapters, and considering that this story seems to explain what happened to Deoxys after FireRed & LeafGreen, I really hope he does so. This artbook was a real treat to read through as a long-time fan of the series and Yamamoto’s art, and I highly encourage every Pokemon Adventures fan to seek it out and support this release. Now, you might be asking yourself “why did he devote an entire paragraph to talking about an artbook unrelated to the content of this podcast?” Could it be…gasp, a paid promotion?! The answer my friends is…no. I wish I could get paid to shill Pokemon products. I genuinely just liked the artbook and wanted to let the people who enjoyed our Pokemon Adventures podcasts know about it. In full disclosure, I was approached by Viz Media after releasing the retrospective to promote the book in exchange for a free copy and I accepted. However, I had already preordered the book months ago, and I received it before I even released that podcast – over a full week before street date. So I’m being 100% bonafide in my appraisal and recommendation of that artbook. Jonathan and I are going to do an entire podcast about the evolution of Satoshi Yamamoto’s art because we love this series so much and want to keep talking about it. Unlike the Pokemon franchise itself, we haven’t sold out yet! However, if I had to shill for dough – and for a product I didn’t enjoy - I might very well not have a choice in the matter. You see, All-Comic.com needs money worse than a house pet in Kakegurui. Moving to new servers isn’t cheap, and we need a grand to keep the site afloat for another year. If we don’t get your support, we’ll need to put more adds on our site and start taking paid promotions. We even got an e-mail from some guy to run paid ads for his language-learning products on the show. Do you guys really want us to interrupt our podcasts to shill a product we don’t even use? You know what I’m talking about. You all saw how those Naruto Online ads ruined Mother’s Basement’s videos. Now we all start clicking away as soon as he goes into shill mode, even when there’s still half the review left! You don’t want that to happen to this podcast, do you? Then please, for the love of god, contribute to our GoFundMe campaign and keep this site and podcast ad-free for another year! If you don’t our next option would be to roll the dice on a big gamble and hope we played our cards right. That’s easier said than done of course, especially when there’s a lot of money on the table and it’s a high-risk venture. Kind of like the games featured in the aforementioned Kakegurui, the most popular anime of the summer 2017 season about a girl who literally has snake eyes and gets off on gambling. Unfortunately, those cucks at Netflix aren’t going to put it up until 2018, so we had no choice but to check out the manga instead. Will we go gambling mad over the series, or did we break the bank buying the books for nothing? Place your bets.

A new feature I'll be having up here on the blog is to present the best of free comic books available online.First up is Vision Machine by Greg Pak. You can read the comic on Comixology or download the PDF. Greg Pak has an exclusive interview up on Comics Alliance where he mentions that not only are you able to download/read the comic for free online, but eventually there will be a free print version available as well. Which is really interesting, having a book put together by money from the Ford Foundation and put out under Creative Commons license which means anyone can expand on the universe created within the pages or is able to remix or mashup the story however they see fit as long as the original source is credited. Truly free creative information. The article also has a lot of interesting points about digital comics and creator royalties.Which leads me over to another article discussing ICv2's number crunching of digital sales which is ultimately summed up as: "While the news for print was less than positive, with manga sales facing an estimated 20% drop in 2010, the news for digital comics was very good indeed, with Griepp projecting that digital comics sales would see a more than ten-fold increase this year over last."And:"But while manga and graphic novels decline, the real energy and growth has been in digital, which has expanded from a $500,000 market in 2009 to an estimated $6 to 8 million dollars in 2010, a more than ten-fold increase. Quite simply, digital comics are "the fastest-growing part of the comics business," said Griepp."It's interesting seeing this comic going out into the public, with its theme of free creative information with a donation based payment setup and the Orwellian Big Brother aspect of controlled information. I'm eager to find out which direction both the story within the comic and the story of the growing digital distribution and the role that this free comic plays in that.K
