So, can someone tell me if I'm crazy...

So, can someone tell me if I'm crazy, or does it seem kind of bizzare that whichever hobbyist in their early 20s Graham is fucking this week just magically happens to get a book with image?

From what it looks like, him and Marian churchland (someone roughly his own age and status in the industry) broke up and this guy promptly starts pumping and dumping unknown comics wannabes, giving at least 2 of them deals with image, and bragging about it on social media.

And that's the crazy part - you don't have to dig for this stuff at all. It's all right there. I've never seen anyone make a peep.
I'm not trying to stir up a bunch of trolls - Brandon Graham is too level headed to troll, he also isnt doing anything illegal - but I'm wondering if i'm the first to notice?

...

A simple list of Graham's previous girls, by year would be sufficent enough of a start.

But this isn't that suprising if true, now, is it?

Literally nobody gives a shit about Image as a brand.

...

This one is creepy... is that actually his daughter or no?

Everyone in the entire industry seems to be cool with it. Shouldn't people get hired on merit instead of weird casting couch type stuff?

He prefers them with dicks, so I don't even know if he's boffing these girls or what.

good for him, fucking hot Sup Forumsgirls.

good of them, getting their foot into the industry.

jealous much?

Wait wait slow down. What the fuck is going on here?

No, that's slimgiltsoul. In a mind boggling coincedence, they've got a book coming out through image

Actually yeah a little. He might have fucked Natalie Mars too.

>people get hired on merit
that ever being the case was a lie spread by bank managers

if marvel's not going to hire on merit. and only hire because they are women, like the milkshake selfie proved.

then image shouldn't hire on merit either, and if this guy gets their pussy on the side, great for him, and great for her.

Ew. Her dick is gross

Image is creator owned so the conditions are probably different. It also might be financial for example if brandon's promising joint signings, or is willing to front publishing costs out of his back end deal,

But I have no idea who these women are, and if they had a good enough book for Image before they signed.

Good for him. if the products are bad don't buy it.

Wow, really good point. If it's in an ethical grey area it's really smart

By your assumption OP, Brandon Graham fucked the author of Kill Six Billion Demons. Because BG got that guy his deal at image.

Brandon hangs out with fellow Image creators and for as long as he has been around he's looked for indie talent to bring into the scene. That's what Island was. When he fucks, he fucks trans porn stars who don't make comics.

Get it right.

>'m not trying to stir up a bunch of trolls
You are, and it is hilarious that you imagine you fuck every single woman you take a photo with.

>By your assumption OP, Brandon Graham fucked the author of Kill Six Billion Demons

Not OP, but you do realize graham is openly gay, right? The """"""""""""""""females"""""""""""""""" in the thread are actually trannies.

Do you even know how Image works or are you automatically assuming they function the same way as Marvel?

>Not OP, but you do realize graham is openly gay, right?
Openly bisexual maybe. But, you understand this doesn't change my point in any way?

Brandon Graham hanging out with some people =/= Brandon Graham fucking them for Image books. Brandon has always looked to foster talent into new books and deals and his idea of talent =/= yours or mine's (I remember him posting some dickgirl googirl artist years ago, or look at Onta's strip in Island).

Why are you assuming this is some kinda sex for comics, or sex for cash for comics deal as opposed to him with other artists? Do you even know how you pitch a book to Image, how Image publishes? Brandon Graham isn't employed by Image.

What would you even call it when you're 40 and you take road trips and selfies with 23 year old girls who want to get into
the industry you are in, while joking about fucking on social media and then spending the whole time not fucking?
It seems like a stretch to me.

why would you break up with marian churchland she a cute

who gives a fuck if they're adults? i don't ever plan on getting married, if i date girls in their 20s if i'm in my 40s am i a sicko?

I wouldn't say a sicko, I'd say you've got a case of the Peter pans and you probably enjoy being the smartest guy in the room. Nobody said it was illegal, it just seems fucking weird.

It seems like you're super triggered some comic guy has taken photos of himself with younger "girls" user NGL.

I wouldn't be surprised if you're one of the people taking shots at him on twitter recently, trying to start some stupid internet drama from Sup Forums this time. Fuck off.

if a man wants to fuck trans porn stars, and his wife is okay with it, let em do it.

Are those his daughters?

I am very, very sorry that you actually believe "merit" factors into hiring processes still.

Start networking immediately.

brandon got fat

Brandon is always trying to get people he likes into Image, that's what most of Island was. Hell, I was at a con he and Stephenson were at, and he'd literally drag Eric around showing and introducing him to artists whose stuff he liked. One of them told me that he straight up got an Image gig that day

He is slowly becoming an IRL Elephantman to win Marion back.

Nah, they just roleplay it.

>girls

>OP doesn't realize that Image is basically self-funded
Unless he's given them money to pay for the printer, you're retarded and have no leg to stand on.

>Shouldn't people get hired on merit

Graham didn't get work on merit, his friends like Becky Cloonan already had an in at Image and got Eric Stephenson to notice his work. That's the industry. Not the comics industry, any industry

I doubt this is legit, but all you neckbeards would do the same thing he is allegedly doing. Hell people suck dick for a good game review, of course some whores will fuck to get a comic published.

Oh fuck this is Prophet Brandon Graham?

I talked to him on Sup Forums like a year ago.

>ITT: a lot of people who don't read comics commenting on how Image works and how Image is in anyway related to the way Marvel create writing teams

He used to come here every now and then, he would answer questions and chat. Last time I saw him in a thread it was just Sup Forums at it's worst with people calling him a cuck and asking if Marian was trans and I don't think he's come back.

I think all the comics people who would visit have abandoned us because of how awful the shitposting gets.

Could it be any clearer that the current problems with Marvel - which is indeed very shit - are only spammed on Sup Forums by idiots who don't read comics to try and politicize the board so they can bitch about racism, women and SJWs all day long? And that they'll try and adapt any (((controversy))) at all to fit that agenda?

He still visits occasionally

>tfw still haven't read King City

>this was the thread

desuarchive.org/co/thread/93727553/#93727553

anyone can get a book at image if you got the money to cover your side of the costs
also at least post her art, as far as brandon graham wannabes go shes decent

>mfw I posted in that thread and Brandon probably read my comments

There's a lot of people who DO read comics and still don't understand how Image works. The Chaykin controversy made it all too apparent

'Decent'
Should we start pointing out how insane the anatomy is in this or is it evident enough with the shape of the head?

Read Empowered. Read some Brandon Graham shit. Come back when you understand what a cartoon is.

She's not even the one with an Image book, she just doodles.

She has the Image book, I'm pretty sure it's just a collection of her work form Island and maybe some other stuff.

One person, that's what got OP in a tiff.

>Shouldn't people get hired on merit
What kind of Aeosop's fables world do you live in?

If it's not a big deal, then it's not a big deal.
I remember growing up and a guy doing this type of thing was frowned upon.

>tfw brandon graham promises to get you a sweet Image $$$ deal and lots of good press but only if you wear a dress and he gets to fuck you
who will stop this monster

I saw him and simon roy in a comic book store in portland once just throwing cash and art supplies at fat greasy nerds, forcing them to go on a months-long treatment of hormones and spiro until they became feminine enough for brandon's dick to get hard (roy just likes to watch)

>thinking pinpoint accuracy in anatomy is even remotely important in comics

Never gonna make it

>Never gonna make it

Nah that's how you become a house style artist and just do work for hire your whole career

Oh the furry chick, im more surprised op isn't harping on that aspect then again he didn't even fucking post her in the OP

merit based awards haven´t been a thing for at least 50 years in the entertainment industry.
you either have to fuck the boss or be friends with somebody to get a shot. and you better have the same insane far left wing ideology or your ass is grass

Damn, my main man Brandon is a playa. Also, I don't think you know Image's buisniess model

So, how DOES image decide what to sign or not?

Eric Stephenson reviews the pitch, it's up to his personal discretion. He has very high standards in terms of presentation.

You have a much higher chance of being approved if you've already made your mark in WFH, or if someone else can vouch and personally recommend you.

>He has very high standards in terms of presentation.

Be a big name or exclusively pitch sci fi and fantasy.

What's WFH? World financial headquarters?

Brandy got tons of people Image gigs. It's kind of the only part of Image that's worthwhile.

Work-For-Hire, as in gigs where you're contracted and paid a rate per page, as opposed to creator-owned where the money is usually earned on the backend through issue/trade sales and royalties

Yeah I prefer his corner to all the ex Marvel writer titles

He can't keep getting away with this.

Is Brandon into black twinks?
SJWs think he's closet racist so maybe I'm safe.

is he still pals with the stokoe?

so what you're saying is, when i'm in my late 30s and still covered in tattoos... 20somethings will call me daddy and want to fuck me?

why are people upset again?

>your wife will never divorce you only for you to bounce back by banging transgender porn stars while she lives a lonely existence

What did the milkshake thing prove?

Black, white, it doesn't matter. He's an insatiable postracial feminizing rapist.

I'm an artist and a trap do you think he'll give me a deal if i let him hit it and quit it

Because the girls are young and hot, and he's old and fat.

Why would you think the comics industry would be any different than the rest of the world?

That three troll posts on twitter are enough evidence for the mass media to declare all fandom a bunch of sexists.

>he's old and fat
yeah but in an attractive dad sort of way that a LOT of women are into. why do you think "dadbod" has become such a wildfire phrase lately? women are finally coming out of the woodwork with their uh...creepy weirdo fetishes

Post @ him on Twitter, just try and interact all the time, also post pictures of yourself and your art, he'll probably check you out at some point and if he thinks you're hot he will try and fuck you

Are you better looking than the trap in the OP? That's the standard you've got to be for those sweet, sweet comic book deals.

I hear he likes to lift 'em up over a stack of Before Watchmen comics and make his bitch hands-free orgasm all over them.

triple dubs confirm

fucking fujoshis, no wonder there's so much porn of TF2 and Overwatch

What can you expect from a place like. People in Sup Forums is socially distorted.
