Arkhaven’s Jon Del Arroz BANNED on Kickstarter and Indiegogo

Arkhaven writer Jon Del Arroz's new parody comic has been banned on Kickstarter and (apparently) shadow-banned on Indiegogo.Why you may ask? Well, you may ask all you like but they sure as hell aren't going to tell you.During the lockdown, Kickstarter was so strapped for cash that it did the unthinkable and parted with people like Camilla Zhang.“Kickstarter actually reached out to the SJWs at DC Comics to help them gatekeep wrong think and boy did DC deliver in the...

Bob Iger’s White Knight

Meet G. Mason Morfit. The head of ValueAct Capital. ValueAct has not publically declared itself in opposition to Nelson Peltz Trian group and I'm not sure they ever will publically declare. But I'd honestly be shocked if he wasn't in Bob Iger's camp. ValueAct Capital has been frantically buying up Disney stock for a while now and is probably responsible for it not slipping any lower than it already has gone.Garrion Mason Morfit is the grandson of fifties...

ComiXology RIP

Do. Not. Try. For. 30-Days!Or any amount of time because Amazon has finally and officially pulled the plug on the Comixology app.ComiXology used to be something halfway decent back when the Big Two were halfway decent. It started life as an online community that would spot interesting upcoming releases and build pull lists for the brick-and-mortar comic book shops back when they existed. It also had some tools for the aforementioned brick-and-mortar comic book shops to help raise their...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend Loki 

I have never had this much trouble reviewing anything.  This show has proven to be a unique struggle for me. It’s truthfully a bad show but it’s challenging for me to say exactly why because Loki has been so difficult for me to remember.  I’m getting what few thoughts I’m capable of having about this show down now before I run the risk of having to watch it a second time and I’m not doing that! One of my problems with Loki...

Wile E Coyote Makes It Back to the Cliff

Coyote Vs. ACME has been released from the Iron Chamber of Tax Writeoffs. The producers have been cleared to shop the movie around.There were a bunch of questions about why this one had been killed. The audience testing was in the 90% approval territory. The plot was that Wile was suing Acme over a history of consistent and prolonged product failures that frequently injured him severely. There is now enough controversy going for it that...

Marvel Can’t Learn

"Who else could join? " Are you serious Marvel?They've handed themselves another sillyass problem here because the only others that can join are Shuri, America Chavez, and Iron Heart. This is pathetic, there are no other teen heroes available.The only mystery here is, are they going to be able to put a boy in this hen party? Marvel has provided these girls with no one they can correct, sneer at, or look down on.Also, not to state the...

The Death of Captain Marvel Sue

The movies were successful, and it was apparent fairly soon after the acquisition that unless we made some egregious unforced errors or were blindsided by some unforeseen outside event, Marvel was going to be worth far more than we’d anticipated.  -Robert Iger, The Ride of a Lifetime  Yeah Bob, so about that...  The Marvels did not beat out Five Nights at Freddy’s opening weekend.  They knew that going in but now Disney has to cope with the fact that they didn’t beat...

The Dark Herald Does Not Recommend: The Marvels 

 I survived this movie. I have to give it that. Okay, I’ve survived worse but Antman and the Wasp Quantomania wasn’t deliberately trying to kill me. I’m not sure I can say the same about The Marvels.  I’ve made so many Frankenstein jokes about Disney/Marvel/Star Wars movie scrapbooking. I indeed and truly am out of material when it comes to this new one. That said The Marvels is only utterly incomprehensible if you try to pay attention to it. Let the...

The Marvels – First Impressions

Yeah, it sucks. This was a failure that was fifteen years in the making and started the day Bob Iger walked into Ike Perlmutter's office to discuss a possible merger.The problem was that Perlmutter appears to have been fundamentally incapable of not seeking mega buyout ultra riches at the expense of long-term achievement. It was basically the story of his business life or at least it was until he and Ari Arad bought out Marvel in the mid-nineties. Sure that deal...
