So our Enemy subverts the superhero genre and wears it like a skinsuit, and now one of our own subverts their subversion, to wear as a skinsuit? Fascinating times we live in ;)
And I wish you had the budget to do what's really needed: bring back comics -- for KIDS.
The spoiliation of our favorite childhood franchises is merely annoying. The grooming of the next generation is an existential risk.
I have no good general solution. At least not until I get a Bond villain budget. It would probably require owning a toy company. Need to offset the revenue loss from the banning of questionable toys and bodybuilding courses that funded the comics of yore.
There's a long explanation for why that's not happening but TLDR, comics used to be sold everywhere and now they're in specialty shops and it's a vicious cycle :(
A shame, too, he would have made great black representation. Not only a legacy character already beloved, but reimagined as a glowing example of the Negro race.
Proof that light shines brighter in the darkness.
…I’m actually not sure if I’m joking or serious anymore.
I signed up but I'm not familiar with the site or with crowdfunding in general. Will it send out an email when the project is ready to launch and then we select a tier based on how much we want to pay? Or is it something else?
I LOLed at the scene where American Eagle gets shot at. Not a comics reader myself, but I hope this does crazy well!
Since you've kindly invited us to share our own countercultural efforts, may I drop a link to my books? Hard science fiction with real science and real human beings. This is the first book in my latest series.
This is why I wrote my book, The Rooster Rider. I was tired of looking at children's books that were downright POISONOUS. My book is available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
Please feel free to share a link so my readers with children can find it easily! Those of us who are trying to fight the spoliation have to support each other.
I don't believe even Amazon knows how it's ratings work. I am grateful and my wife gives her thanks. I really need to build a platform of followers; there's no other way to move a book on a micro-budget.

Two thumbs up for recognizing the problem and trying to do something about it. Bravo!
Thank you so much!
I wish I had the budget...

Worth contemplating, however.

I still see digests of Archie comics and Mad Magazine at the local Food Lion.
Green Lantern didn't make the cut because a glowing superhero would be too obvious of a fed.
Bet you he used to be FBI, not air force. He just GLOWS.
Hehehe

You are safe from such horrors, don't worry!

Yes, exactly!
Thanks for clarifying.

That said, these are exceptionally well done ‘Concubine material’ girls… well done Pater! 🥰
Signed up!

Thank you. I hope the link helps. Amazon likes to bury my book.
I gave it a recommendation on X for my followers there:
https://twitter.com/archon/status/1795637357313745296
My rating bumped from 3.4 million down to 213K down. Astonishing!
I don't really know how Amazon rankings work so I have no idea if that's 1 sale or 100 sales, but in any case I'm glad to help you move the needle.

Thank you again.
Holy cow! Thank you! Thank you so very much! I am very grateful.
