Both my parents and my husbands parents are making us do early Christmases between their Mexico trips. This is my sons 1st Christmas. #boomers
No, this isn’t from Reddit. It’s definitely real. I wish I could say it’s unbelievable.
This is your last chance to back HYPERGAMOUSE and/or SIGMA GAME. Thanks to the 776 backers who have already made this a very successful campaign!
So, I received an email from Backerkit this morning, which tends to indicate the would-be crowdfunding platform is flailing and failing:
Hi,
Less than 3 days to go for HYPERGAMOUSE Volume 1! There’s still time to see a detailed breakdown of your pledges and reach out to your fans. Import your project to BackerKit Launch now to get stared.
Thanks,
The BackerKit Team
To which I replied, rather rudely, that they were collectively welcome to go and attempt to perform an anatomically-impossible task on themselves that involved sexual gratification. Which is not my usual wont, but then, this is the FOURTH time they have attempted to take advantage of Arkhaven’s very successful HYPERGAMOUSE Volume 1 campaign AFTER sending this email just a few hours before the campaign was scheduled to start.
Hello,
We are writing to inform you that after a thorough review of your project submission, BackerKit will not be able to approve your project “Hypergamouse Volume 1” for launch on our platform. This decision is based on documented association with content that violate our platform’s Crowdfunding Rules and Community Guidelines.
Specifically, BackerKit prohibits offensive material, both on-platform and off-platform, including hate speech, content promoting harm, discrimination, bigotry, or intolerance toward any marginalized or protected groups. Our guidelines state that we do not permit content or creators that engage in personal attacks, harassment, or the promotion of harmful ideologies, including those that may be seen as discriminatory.
This decision is final. If you have further questions, you may submit an inquiry at trustandsafety@backerkit.com or in an email response here.
Regards,
Dave Alvarez-Villalpando
Head of Trust & Safety @ BackerKit
So, no, Dave and company, Arkhaven will not import any of our very successful projects to Backerkit. Furthermore, we are actively recommending that our wide variety of creators stay very far away from SJW-converged Backerkit and instead utilize FundMyComic or Kickstarter, since neither of those platforms ban anyone for mere off-platform “association” with content that violates their rules, instead of content that actually violates their rules.
Furthermore, this belated attempt at snaking business that they already turned down comes AFTER they promised to cease all future communications.
“This is to inform you that the recent communication you received was automated. Your project’s launch status has been updated from the draft status to “deactivated.” As a result, all further communications related to this project has been disabled.”
Sure it has. The evidence proves otherwise. Anyhow, all of this is irrelevant since there are just 60 hours to go. Join the 687 backers and help Arkhaven spike the football in the face of the SJWs who tried to shut down Hypergamouse, but failed, because the ride never ends.
There are seven days left for the Hypergamouse campaign, so we’re into the final stretch run for your chance to obtain Hypergamouse, Sigma Game, or, if you prefer, both.
In obviously related news, there is a new episode of HYPERGAMOUSE on Arktoons today.
As requested, the HYPERGAMOUSE Campaign has added a Havarti University t-shirt to the campaign, now available as a reward for new backers or as an add-on for existing backers. The fictional university, established in 1846 in Arkhaven, Massachusetts, shows its classic Latin motto CASEUM and is available in either classic crimson or navy blue. Sizes and colors to be specified after the campaign; backers will be contacted for their preferences and shipping details. It’s a unique and subtle way to show your support for Arkhaven.
UPDATE: you can now back directly for a hardcover edition or leatherbound edition of Sigma Game. It’s not necessary to back something else first.
I bet it won’t take more than 18 months for Fandom Pulse to become the #1 site in comics journalism now that content machine John Trent has joined it on a full-time basis.
John Trent, the former EIC of Bounding Into Comics and That Park Place is now working full time and writing multiple articles a day for Fandom Pulse!
JDA is a formidable content creator in his own right, but John Trent isn’t merely next level, he is unparalleled in his ability to provide both quantity and quality in his relentless reporting. And unlike so many useless and converged so-called journalists purporting to cover the industry while ignoring the lager part of it, he gives equal time to the mainstream and the independents alike. If you haven’t subscribed to Fandom Pulse yet, you really owe it to yourself to do so. It is about to become a serious difference-maker.
In other culture war commentary, this comic is spot-on.
Arktoons has now passed 16 million views! Thanks to all of the supporters, creators, and readers who have made it possible. And special thanks to the devs and the production team, who keep cranking out episodes every single day. We’re pleased to be able to say that GHOST OF THE BADLANDS will be coming to Arktoons soon now that its digital edition has been released.
In other comics news, HYPERGAMOUSE is approaching its third stretch goal and DC Comics has been reduced to turning to its critics to provide inspiration for its new villains, with Jeremy Griggs from Geeks + Gamers being the latest to see himself lampooned in a DC-published comic.
Even though DC Comics says they’re All In with this new initiative from Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, it appears they’re just all in on the same tired, woke nonsense. With Absolute Batman race-swapping Barbara Gordon in a bizarre virtue signal, there was already too much politics in their recent comics, but now they’ve turned Jeremy Griggs into a rambling villain in the new Blue Beetle YA Graphic Novel… It’s not the first time DC Comics has done this, either. Just last year, they did the same to Eric July, turning him into some Alex Jones rant to presumably attack his Rippaverse imprint as it was getting off the ground.
I don’t think that I’ve been provided with a DC Comics stand-in yet, although it would appear that Marvel’s Vox Supreme was at least partially inspired by your favorite dark lord. The resemblance is certainly striking.
Now available on Kindle and Kindle Select: THE GHOST OF THE BADLANDS
Arizona Territory, May 1896
Canyon Diablo is a reascendant Gomorrah.
With rail bridge construction halted by hellfire and tragedy, and railroad companies warring with local land owners to complete it, the town becomes an open boil on the Arizona Desert.
Gamblers proliferate. Prostitutes ply their trade. Brigands roam on the roadways, waylaying the innocent for an unknown purpose.
But the bandits are not alone.
Something stirs in the Painted Desert. Someone systematically exterminates coach robbers and murderers. Dealing out a deadly reckoning to all who assail the weak.
Gunfight after gunfight. Coffin after coffin. Legend soon grows of this phantom of the high desert.
A lone pistolier dispensing God’s judgment. A one-man vendetta ride, wielding a strange mechanical weapon of the Old World. Baptizing the heathen in hails of gunfire.
Eventually, folk find a name for this masked missionary of death…
The Ghost of the Badlands
UPDATE: So that was fast.
Fandom Pulse covers the latest abomination from DC Comics, namely, a bizarre new comic entitled Nothing Butt Nightwing:
Nightwing used to be Batman’s sidekick Dick Grayson, the original Robin, who was spun off into his own character as he grew up. The most famous incarnation is Chuck Dixon’s run on the character where he developed a full cast and supporting characters for the former boy wonder.
Now, DC Comics has turned Nightwing into more wokeness with a couple of new offerings in October. With DC Comics “All In” initiative it’s supposed to be a jumping on point for new readers, but it seems more like a jumping off point given how insanely far they’re going to virtue signal to the LGBTQIA+ community.
First, we have Nothing BUTT Nightwing, a strange book that turns Dick Grayson into some kind of bizarre gay fantasy. The title reads like a parody, some sort of Chuck Tingle Amazon porn novel version of the character, but the interiors aren’t much better.
Every time you think the SJWs have reached bottom, they prove you’re not only wrong, but that your imagination is too limited to encompass the depths of their depravity and degradation.
If you ever wondered whether supporting Arkhaven is justified, this new DC comic should suffice as conclusive proof. DC is definitely going “all in” in a very reprehensible manner.
Cate’s not very happy about Dag’s disemployment from the company for which they both worked.
And in other HYPERGAMOUSE news, the campaign is less than 13k from Stretch Goal #3, which will be variant covers by MIDNIGHT’S WAR artist Ademir Leal.
