Remember Rick S: the Defender of all things Dave Sim?

Watch as (under his normal internet handle of TalonTM) he demonstrates how to A: NOT go about creating positive publicity for his hero B: offend women, gays, dogs, Gail Simone, Colleen Doran and various other comics pros C: prove that he is truly a Troll Amongst Trolls on a lengthy thread at the CBR forums. You start out amused, then becomed sad, then get amused as numerous people pwn him, then get sad again with more than a little anger, then its amused at various thread drifts, then angry, then just happy to see it ended...

If you enjoy internet fanwank trainwrecks, its worth reading thru all 80+ pages. Plus there are some interesting anecdotes about the Indy comics scene in the 90s...

From a Washington Post article linked by [profile] fortysevenbteg:

“In legal documents in its federal case against Jeffrey Howell, a Scottsdale, Ariz., man who kept a collection of about 2,000 music recordings on his personal computer, the industry maintains that it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his computer.”

Finder: Sin-Eater, volume 1 by Carla Speed McNeil

Finder is a science fi..no wait. Its a post-apoc..hold on. Its a mystical jo..nope, not quiet that either. Ok, its a double awesome pie with ala mode hella cool ice cream. It deals with journeys of self-discovery. And violence. And the costs of loyalty. An exploration on the meaning of family perhaps? A far future story of human society evolved in barely recognizable directions with the addition of various near-humans and hints of deeper mysticism? Hell. Its all that and more. After delving deep into the madness of Dave Sim and his obsessive fandom its good to jump back into someone who is STILL pushing the boundaries and what independent comics can do...
