It Tolls for DC

The Dark Herald notices some very bad signs at DC, formerly DC Comics:

DC Comics has for decades been able to survive as an IP farm. Yeah, it’s a loss leader and has been that way since forever ago but that red ink is barely a rounding error for Warner Brothers. And now they are seriously under the microscope. DC has never been audited by Warner Brothers before because it wasn’t worth doing it. It was actually a waste of money to find out if it was a waste of money. Because it obviously was. Now, DC Comics is having to explain its terrible decisions and why they are pursuing storylines that killed sales. The answer is, we wanted to be popular with the cool kids and you never cared about the money we burned doing it before now, so why not?

DC Comics didn’t send out their royalty checks to writers and artists. DC has never missed a royalty payment since they got bought up by Warner Brothers. The only reason they wouldn’t be sending out money is if there was no money to send.

I have it on very good authority that the royalties were finally paid, but they were paid uncharacteristically late. That’s a problem when large corporations are involved, because it means that the scheduled routine has been intentionally altered, most likely because the finance department is shuttling dwindling resources around from one department to another as needed.

Screenrant lists the 9 best places to find comics on the Internet:

Arkhaven
An up-and-comer in comparison to Webtoon and Archive of Our Own, Arkhaven boasts nearly 8 million views to the website since it was launched, a respectable number that will no doubt continue to grow as long as the site remains active with compelling creators.

View counts vary between tens and thousands, depending on the comic, but lack of popularity isn’t always a marker of lower quality. Like most other user/creator-oriented comics websites, it’s built around engagement with the material. There are also preview images of each comic or comic installment that give viewers an excellent glimpse into what the style, and often the tone, of the comic involves.

And it’s only going to get better from here, as Marvel descends into absurdities that were literal jokes just a few years ago.

Lesbian-wheelchair-Spider…man(?). Or is it Spider-Wheelchair-Gay-Woman? Or SpiderTransMasculineFemale?

Oh, who the fuck can knows? They sure don’t!

I honestly, thought somebody was goofing on the fabulous Gay Spiderman but no, zhe’s real alright.

Zhe swings into action with her wheelchair webbed to zhr back, (I’m using English language pronouns from here on *out). And her web shoots from her walker crutches instead of her wrists because webs can be empowered too.

The creator of this Woke Frankenstein’s Monster of a Spider-Man is, naturally, a Woke Doctor Frankenstein herself. Ty Franklin proudly declaims herself to be a queer autistic black person, she also works on Harley Quinn. Yeah, I figured.

Apparently, this new hero is called Sun-Spider and her real name is Charlotte Webber.

Charlotte Webber. Like Charlotte’s Web, get it? And lest you think anyone is exaggerating, here is the exciting disabled lesbian spiderperson zherself.
