Alt-Hero

What ever happened to this? Wasn't the first issue supposed to be out at the end of last year? Anyone have any updates?

the dude took the money and run

hardly surprising

I mean, the last update was in November, which wasn't that long ago. And Chuck Dixon is also working on it. Does he have a blog?

The update is that everyone got scammed and it's never being finished, and if it is being worked on it will look and read like shit and won't deliver on the promises of the campaign

wasn't the update that the art had been sent out to be "inked and colored" despite that literally just being a filter in Poser

>Even Sup Forums doesn’t give a shit.

What were the promises?

Vox is too egotistical to late it die

Anyways
>Beale is a proponent of the philosophy of racial realism, which states that one’s race directly correlates with their ability to think and create. At the top of the proverbial pyramid are white persons, with black persons at the bottom, with Hispanics, aboriginals and Asians forming strata in between.[3]
>Additionally, he holds that, second to women’s suffrage[1], atheism and autism are the greatest causes of moral degradation in the Western world. He asserts that the two are one and the same, controversially stating “the anti-religious socially autistic crusaders[…] simply cannot understand that your religious beliefs, whatever they might be, are no legitimate concern of theirs. High Church atheism may be little more than a mental disorder taking the form of literal autism.”[2]
>Beale served as a lifetime member of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, and ran for president of the organization in 2013. After failing to secure the popular vote, he was defeated by incumbent John Scalzi. In response, Beale hijacked the organization’s Twitter account and expressed his desire to expel African-American and women members, calling particular attention to fellow member N. K. Jemisin, whom he called “an educated, but ignorant half-savage”[10]. He was promptly expelled from the guild[6].

Why should I give 2 shits about some clown who trash talks Jack Kirby?

B-BUT user IT'S TOTALLY GONNA TRIGGER SJWS AND SAVE COMICS
DON'T YOU WANT THE LEFT TO BE TRIGGERED?
>Not even D&C wants to be near this faggot
Seriously, Vox Day's a joke

*let it die
Also
>We all underestimated how bad the convergence in comics had become; we had to actually see it in order to believe it. I suspect we may be similarly underestimating the degree to which the SJWs in comics are going to be triggered by the mere existence of Alt?Hero, let alone if it proves to be even remotely popular. This has the potential to make the response of the SF-SJWs to the Rabid Puppies look calm and measured by comparison.
>UPDATE: Judging by the initial response of SJWs on Twitter, which is about as calm as measured as a vampire's reaction to garlic-infused holy water, this is going to be even more triggering than I'd imagined.
>UPDATE: I have been reliably informed that they are not at all triggered. Not even a little bit. No, you see, they're all laughing. That's a new one....
>Meanwhile, SJWs on Twitter are shrieking in amygdala-stress about how no one will read Alt?Hero, no one cares about it, how they are Laughing Out Loud about it, and how it is utterly doomed to failure. This is a rather remarkable response considering that not only has it not been released yet, but we have not even launched the Freestartr campaign for it yet or released the video for the campaign.
>I promised you REEEEEEEES. Have I not delivered? Am I not kind?

>In 2014, Beale’s short story Opera Vita Aeterna was Hugo Award nominated for Best Novelette. The novelette came in sixth place out of five stories, losing 855-1232 to a placeholder entry.

this is hilarious

>Sup Forums doesn't give a shit
>Tumblr thinks he's comedy gold
>Lost to a placeholder entry

Wow. this is amazing.

...

>tumblr
It was twitter and Sup Forums
Mainly people who actually read comics

He's not wrong. Soyboys on Sup Forumsmblr have already declared it "the worst comic of all time" without a single issue being released.

We saw the preview retard
Shit art
Shit writing

There was a preview, it was hilariously bad. The webcomic-tier art, the poor writing, the lack of any real panel composition.

Abysmal lettering.

The paneling looks alright. The only problem is that it looks like porn drawn by somebody who read a "HOW TO DRAW SUPERHEROES" book.

We know nothing about the story, which could range anywhere from so bad that's it's good, so bad that it's still shit, or self aware enough that it becomes good again.

A good story can save bad art, but good art can't save a bad story. The art in America, for example, is usually decent, their colorist is okay, but the godawful story, character design, and dialogue make it the worst comic I've ever read.

And with Dixon working on it, it might turn out okay.

>blatant scam turns out to be a scam
Whoa! Who would have thought.

Sup Forums was absolutely on board with this, but after this moron made a complete fool of himself they're desperately trying to backpedal.

That's hilarious but I don't understand why they had a placeholder entry.

That it would basically single-handedly drive all SJWs out of the comics industry by triggering them so hard that they self-destruct.

>Just a little taste of what we're working on for the Alt-Hero project. This is going to be a graphic novel project of bigger scope than most people are probably anticipating; the story infrastructure has to be large enough to support a wide range and variety of storylines and I have no interest in simply retelling lame versions of Marvel and DC stories. Alt-Hero is going to be as influenced by The Incredibles and, to a lesser extent, Sandman, as it is by Batman and the Justice League of America.
>The most important mainstream superhero organization is the Global Justice Initiative, which is divided into EU and US divisions. Capitán Europa is the leader of the Initiative, which reports directly to the European Commission, while the US division is led by Dr. Ladarius Nano, PhD, a brilliant African-American scientist. Dynamique is a French member of the Initiative, who is a Parisian fashion model by day, and who is frequently getting in trouble for being caught smoking cigarettes by the paparazzi.
>Besides fighting crime, racism, smoking, and nationalism, the main job of the Global Justice Initiative is to hunt down rogue superheroes who refuse to use their powers for the common good, at least as it is defined by the European Commission and the United Nations. One of the Initiative's ongoing concerns is to put an end to the Vigilant Front, a ragtag collection of politically problematic vigilantes linked to the suspiciously long-lived Prophet.

The wierd thing is this guy seems to think dc is sjw.

>And yes, Alt?Hero is going to trigger SJWs like you will not believe. The reeeeeeeees are going to be audible in orbit. Here are two of the superheroes of the European Union's Global Justice Initiative, Rainbow and Redshift.

...

I think the terrible artwork and dumb concept will pretty much kill it. Pathetic alt stank types will support it until they realize they're being exploited.

And from what we've seen, the story at best is nothing to write home about, and probably will be pretty garbage.

Like fuck, look at this page here Even with the webcomic art dragging it down, you still have a dozen people with SNIPER RIFLES moving into close range to shoot someone with tranq darts. I'm not even a /k/ommando and this just strikes me as fucking retarded. The other pages in the preview had some terrible exposition with more wordswordswords saying basically nothing than a dozen of B^Uckley's worst.

...

>that lettering

>until they realize they're being exploited.
so they'll support it forever

>REEEEE about terrible SJW costumes at Marvel and DC
>lap up a series with terrible costumes

What did altrighties mean by this?

why does she look like she has fetal alcohol syndrome?

>Sup Forums is a person
Fuck off reddit.

That sounds awesome. I'm not expecting it to deliver, but if it does, that would be awesome.

Hope you like poser art

...

Sup Forums may not be one person, but they are a hivemind.

the communists here claim they aren’t mad but these threads always get over one hundred posts and the threads are always full of posts fuming saying it’s shit over and over

ok Teddy

>that fucking page layout
>that fucking lettering

>>Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
>>Sure I do. He [Kirby] was a midget, a bullshitter, and he couldn't draw hands or ears. I see we've gone from Stage One to Stage Three.

>>Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
>>Jack Kirby was a midget and a bullshitter. He wasn't kicking anyone's ass, except maybe a little girl's.


>>Supreme Dark Lord @voxday
>>That's antisemitic. Jews are not all thieves. And Kirby wasn't big enough to pick me up, let alone give me a swirly.

>>Whatever happened to all the laughing? Well, they're clearly not triggered or anything. By the way, I performed a little science at the gym today, testing out hypotheses. It turns out I could curl the little midget four times cleanly, six if I cheated. Figure eight at peak.

man, it somehow looks even more like a porn parody

>dude, I'll bet you can't lose almost your entire audience at once
>"hold my beer"

Hey Vox, you mad we're laughing at you?

So is Captain European Union helping antifa here, or is he just trying to seperate the two sides? I mean, I would expect a work this subtle to have him openly helping antifa to beat up nationalists.

Actually, although there's multiple types, tranq guns tend to have longer barrels. Darts work by shooting compressed air, which are highly inaccurate compared to normal firing mechanisms with shorter barrels, due to their low velocity.

But this is a minor issue compared to the fact that it looks like web comic porn.

The funniest part about this is that Vox is a manlet and literally wrote a manletwank article about how badass short guys are
voxday.blogspot.com/2005/05/bane-on-dangers-of-height.html

Because he wants his audience to empathise with the protagonist.

Post a picture of this guy.

So why surround the bimbo like that instead of, you know, just firing from the poorly drawn bushes in the third panel?

He's helping them
it's clear that the European Union Heroes are the villains.
For fuck sakes, Midnighter and Apollo would call Redshift and Rainbow faggot

Sure

What the fuck is wrong with her shoulders

>if you think this autistic bullshit is autistic you're a communist
Hi Vox!

He said on his blog I have no idea why I read it that something's due late next month, whether it materializes or not is another matter. It might be a novel though, so no storytime there.

They're a pretty diverse group of white supremacists, especially when you compare them to the all white, all female staff of progressive organizations like the Huffington Post.

Suspended. What a knob.

Typical libtard idiocy. Go back to your safe space snowflake

His audience doesn't read comics
He thinks Kamala has bad anatomy compared to Rebel.
He doesn't know she's a shapeshifter
He said on twitter numerous times she needs to be deported despite she was born in New Jersey

Haha! If that's him, he looks very much the way I'd imagined.

So on one end we have Gabby, and on the other end we have this faggot. Both equally cancer, both self centered assholes, but on different political sides. Anyone else just want to see them locked into a room together or create a comic featuring both living in a shared apartment?

...

If you want a legitimate answer: inaccuracy.

Of you want a comic answer: to draw the scene out longer.

>That voice
youtube.com/watch?v=ONc8KCfgRLQ

>we are going to trigger the SJWs
>BTW, here's an obviously gay character because we've got to have one

They're clearly gonna be strawmen
>inb4 people make gay porn of them and post it to Vox

You sound like the guy who called Lego Robot "SJW."

But to fix it you just need to remove a single panel and not draw in the dozen morons crowding around the bimbo. It's not like this is a long fight scene we're talking about, it gets the point across the same way, just makes the people involved look less retarded.

I'm honestly so disappointed in Vox Day. He has a lot of resources and pull do to a lot of good for up-and-coming talent that doesn't want to deal with the SJW cool kids club. But time and time again he squanders those resources, preferring to use them for his petty grudge against Scalzi and everyone else. His last pet project, Castilia House, is succeeding in spite of him, not because of him. And I almost guarantee that if he hasn't driven Alt-Hero into the ground yet, he'll do it eventually.

Vox should have shut up and just bankrolled the project, while deferring to people who understand comics. Now he's killed what could have been a great way for young guys to make a name for themselves just for a few twitter (you)s.

>Race Realist
>Thinks hispanic is a race

wat

What we really need is a comic where th hero is a moderate and there are both SJW and Alt villains at the same time.

So we're just waiting around for porn of this, right? No one really cares about this

Yeah, America x Rebel raunchy hatesex.

Doom Patrol?

>took the money and run

At least he's thematically committed.

The name is ironic.

That's actually a genuinelly good idea. In times like this, I think that concept would appeal to a lot of people, if it was done well.

Can this be another failed Sup Forums project? I'd settle for just art of America and Rebel bickering

...

If it's ever actually made, it stands a good chance of being A-grade storytime of pain material.

That's fucking South Park, Family Guy, and American Dad. The fringes on both sides serve as common, safe punching bags.

Which is why Sup Forumsmblr is flipping out about it.

There's a 2/3 chance of it being good, whether ironically or unironically.

Sup Forumsmblr, particularly nuMarvel sees comics as only a way to push agendas, and anything that runs contrary to their narrative is poison, no matter how good or bad it is.

Mate, people are just seeing it as right wing America Chavez

responding to your own post doesn't help

It will not be unironically good though. Unless Vox shitcans the entire art staff and gets people who don't trace poser or do bad fetish webcomics

>American Dad
Nah, only Steve is really "in the middle". Stan is a hardcore conservative, Haley is a card carrying SJW, Francine and Roger are basically just hedonists.

Or if Vox just replaces himself
Literally lost to a placeholder

The comic will no be good in any sense if the art remains on this level, regardless of Vox's involvement.

This. Its the same heavy handed, poorly written crap we get from Marvel, only now right instead of left. Go fuck yourself, Vox. Why don't you make yourself look like more of an ass by shitting on Kirby

Wow what an asshole.

SJW villains: want forced extreme equality by making everyone color blind

Alt-right villains: wants an equally white nation by deporting non-whites

Right wingers are literal retards and got ripped off

The main character finally got the dose of the BBC and now that's all she cares about. Far as people knows she usually just asks 'how can whites even compete?' these days.

How are whites at the top when both Jews and Asians are smarter?

I can NOT think of a better waste of one's life than dedicating yourself to 'triggering' people and arguing about what memes belong to whom.

Like, I know I'm on this website, so I can't talk much, but holy fuck Vox, treat yourself to some kind of life man.

Also, dat nasally voice is grating, how can anyone watch these streams?

Which is one third of the fact that it might be entertaining, for all the wrong reasons.

America is the most storytimes comic here this year.

So you're triggered. Vox is the gift that keeps on giving, and I didn't have to pay a penny.

See above. The art is objectively shit from what we've seen, but an entertaining story (ironically or unironically) doesn't depend on art.

Why would anyone care about porn of this?

Unless you're talking specifically about interracial just to see Vox whine about it, in which case, I doubt he'd write anything satisfactory anyway.

Because everyone who recognizes race realism agrees with you.

It's only SJWs who know nothing about the subject start rioting when a white male acknowledges race realism.

I mean, when's the last time an Arab won a nobel prize?

Dude couldn't resist having the artist make the foreground of the cover be a black dude about to punch a white woman, could he? Seriously just change her eye and hair color and you got some Neo Nazi's setup for their 'save the day' wet dream.

>So you're triggered. Vox is the gift that keeps on giving, and I didn't have to pay a penny.
So when's the comic coming out, Vox?
