Don't expect us to keep up the pace

But since the whole point was to enter this into the contest ending June 30th, Episode 3 of Midnight's War, THE BLOOD MUST FLOW, is already live on Webtoons.

Still no word, however, on The Legend Chuck Dixon's entry....

The War for the Midnight World

Bounding Into Comics notes the release of MIDNIGHT'S WAR:
Vox Day’s Arkhaven Comics recently released a brand new vampire thriller series titled Midnight’s War. The series was released on the popular Web Toons platform and will consist of four episodes. The first episode titled “Not Even The Wicked Dead” was released on June 24th and Vox informs Bounding Into Comics the second episode will be released on June 26th.

The series is set in the distant future following an economic crisis that sees the vampire tribes come out of hiding in an attempt to take control of the Earth and humanity. They usurp Earth’s institutions including their media and governments and establish a new world order under the Great Concord of Gomorrah.

This new world order demanded humans provide a certain amount of blood to the vampire authorities every year.

However, while most of humanity might have fallen to the vampires and their new world, there are some humans who actively resist the vampires and in fact some human blood was not palatable to the vampires.
 The first two episodes of MIDNIGHT'S WAR are live:
  1. Not Even The Wicked Dead
  2. They Also Serve
There will be two more episodes released prior to June 30th, which is when the short story contest ends. MIDNIGHT'S WAR is already one of the ten most popular entries in the Brain category, so it appears to have a decent shot at winning one of the prizes.

There is already serious studio interest in a series of movies based on MIDNIGHT'S WAR. The Legend and I have discussed working together on a regular monthly comic set in the Midnight World, but first we have to figure out how to support that as I don't wish to do any more crowdfunding campaigns until we deliver AH, AH:Q, and the Junior Classics.

Speaking of the first two series, the Avalon 1-6 omnibus is nearly ready, AH #7 and AH:Q #3 are also rapidly approaching release.

Some of the early reactions to MIDNIGHT'S WAR:
  • It's amazing to see how the art has improved in Arkhaven Comics as they develop the projects.
  • This needs to be made into a movie ASAP.... The setup here is what makes this extra-creepy.
  • That final panel needs to be a poster!
  • Incredible potential with this.
  • This is the best product around.
  • The level of art is far above mainline comics, you can actually tell what kind of pistol he carries.
  • Love the hero design, it makes me want to be a knight myself.

The inevitable end

Apparently 2VS has finally gotten around to turning on Comicsgate:
Vox Day opened up an imprint to allow small creators to use his printer discount on behalf of #ComicsGate, something that would have helped take the burden of production off of the smallest indie creators and help flourish a stronger and more united independent community. Knowing that Ethan Van Sciver had done everything he could to jump on the #ComicsGate brand, Vox ran the idea by Ethan in email to make sure Ethan was on board, and Ethan said yes.

It looked like a dawn of a new day for indie comics.

Until Ethan manipulated the situation into a power play to control the few fans under his umbrella.

In a move completely the opposite as he’d been telling Vox, Ethan took to his show and put Vox Day on blast, and his rabid, angry, outrage-prone fans went and brigaded Vox Day as a result.

Instead of getting great printer discounts, Vox was character assassinated. Anyone who called him friend got the same treatment. Ethan and his fans started becoming just like the SJWs they claimed to despise — screeching “alt right racist” at me and others in an attempt to character assassinate and destroy anyone who didn’t go along with their narrative.

All because Vox wanted to help out some small indie creators.
Just to be clear, I don't care in the slightest about 2VS or Comicsgate. I have very little against them and even less for them. Contra the narrative they both tried to push, I was never interested in owning, controlling, or even having anything whatsoever to do with Comicsgate. I only got involved, for about a week, as it happens, in support of an erstwhile Dark Legion creator, which turned out to be both a stupid mistake and a significant learning opportunity.

The moral of the story: stay away, stay very far away, from the drama that inevitably accompanies narcissistic attention-seekers. In fact, the reason I no longer speak in public to anyone except Castalia authors and UATV creators owes as much to the Comicsgate kerfuffle as it does to the Wired and NPR hit pieces and the Fuentes fiasco.

I neither need nor desire drama, and I'm simply not at all interested in creating it for those who do. I do, of course, find it mildly amusing to observe 2VS showing his second face to his erstwhile supporters.

Speaking of riots

Episode 8 of Alt★Hero, THE NEW RESISTANCE, is now live on Webtoons.

Filled out and authorized

Chuck Dixon's Avalon Episode 8, HAND IT OVER, is now live on Webtoons. I think we can safely expect a second brigading from the SJWs, so remember that the ride never ends.

Also, Brandon Fiadino has entered Chicago Typewriter into the short story competition. The second episode, THE MAGIC SHOP, is also live on Webtoons now.

And in UATV news, the server passed its most serious traffic test with flying colors. Despite more than doubling its previous peak traffic upon news of the release of the Big Bear's documentary of his You're Doing Great, Kid tour on Unauthorized, the server never even blinked momentarily. In fact, if the statistics can be trusted, it should be able to handle nearly 20 times more traffic with ease.

Which will be very important once we start using it to live-stream. Also, if you're just signing up now, please note that you'll need to wait until the weekend to receive your invites. We have to create new invitations for you due to the server being on an entirely different system.

Luke Skytranny

The Devil Mouse is taking their raping of Generation X's collective childhood memories to a whole new level.


Disney is also rewriting The Battle of Hoth.
The first scene sees a Rebel soldier then tell Leia, “General, there’s a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in sector four.”

Leia responds, “It’s risky but, we can’t hold out much longer.”

From the very beginning the short is altering what actually happened in The Empire Strikes Back. What actually happened is that a Rebel soldier informs General Rieekan of the Imperial fleet emerging out of hyperspace.

As you can see in the clip below, the soldier tells Rieekan, “General, there is a fleet of Star Destroyers coming out of hyperspace in Sector 4.”

Rieekan responds, “Reroute all power to the energy shield. Gotta hold them until all transports are away. Prepare for ground assault.”

Not only does the short remove Rieekan completely, but it also refers to Leia as General. She did not use that title in The Empire Strikes Back. She was referred to as Princess. In fact, she didn’t take on the title of General until she formed the Resistance in Disney’s sequel trilogy.

Episode 7 of Alt★Hero, No Rest for the Wicked, is now live on Webtoons. As you'll see, we're sticking with the European storyline that follows the characters introduced in the first issue rather than following the order in which the issues were released.

Neil Gaiman is a massive prick

As, obviously enough, his ex-wife-to-be figured out before the rest of us:
Good Omens author Neil Gaiman has sparked outrage after he travelled 11,000 miles from New Zealand to the Isle of Skye so he and his wife could get 'some space' from each other.

The fantasy writer, 59, took to his blog on Thursday to describe his trip halfway  around the world from Auckland after he and singer Amanda Palmer hit a 'rough place' amid the coronavirus lockdown.

'Hullo from Scotland, where I am in rural lockdown on my own,' Gaiman wrote. 'I'm half a world away from Amanda and [my son] Ash, and missing both of them a lot.'

He explained he had been living in New Zealand with Palmer and his son Ash, four, until two weeks ago, when the pair 'agreed that we needed to give each other some space' and he boarded a flight to London.

The pair, however, confirmed in a letter shared beneath the blog that they are 'not getting divorced,' and will 'sort out our marriage in private.'

Gaiman said he borrowed a spare car from a friend after arriving in the UK and began the 600-mile drive north to his second home in Skye - despite Scottish officials urging Britons to stop travelling to the Islands.

'What is it about people, when they know we are in the middle of the lockdown, that they think they can come here from the other side of the planet, in turn endangering local people from exposure to this infection that they could have picked up at any step of the way?' local MP Ian Blackford added, according to the Sunday Times. 'To descend on this island at this time, when we have a serious outbreak, which has resulted in such tragic circumstances — it pays scant respect to the families of the bereaved and the people who live here.'
What a solipsistic retard. Keep in mind, these are exactly the sort of people that SJWs revere. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that Gaiman and his wife were previously lecturing people on the vital importance of staying home and staying safe.

Quantum Mortis on Thursdays

Quantum Mortis fans will be pleased to know that Arkhaven Comics will be publishing weekly episodes on Webtoons. They will also note that we have touched up the illustrations and recolored the entire first issue. Episode 1, Military Assistance, is already live. If you're an Arkhaven backer, please don't hesitate to subscribe.

And Arkhaven now has your weekdays covered, with webtoons running every Monday through Friday. We'll be adding more soon, as Chicago Typewriter, Go, Monster, Go!, and Knights in Shadow are all in production now. With the traditional comics industry reeling, this is what William S. Lind would describe as the obvious schwerpunkt.
