bigbardafree:

How Comic Book Men portrays women, treats women, women in comics, men who like comics, women who like comics, and a woman’s role in both comic books and the comic book community that are completely sexist (the “earlier that episode” part was added by me, by the way, this show isn’t self-aware enough to see when it’s being contradictory)

Here guys, have 6+ mins of a bunch of sexist douche bags that believe they are the sole godly representation of comicbook fans…

Apparently this shit won an award?

i tweeted it @thatkevinsmith, i suggest others demand answers for it too. maybe if enough people do he’ll actually look at it. kev i think makes an effort to try and not be sexist and does some good charity liberal work. i listen to his podcast a lot and don’t find very many problematic things, he’s really pro-gay too. but the stash guys are really ignorant sexist assholes and I don’t think he gets how fucking horrible it is and how bad that show is.

glowingraptor:

If you follow us on twitter, you probably heard that Alexis was working on a prequel mini comic to Elysion Age about the origins of the Mancers. We got our proof copy from the printers and are very excited with how it came out!

We have ordered our inventory of it and it will be debuting at the San Jose Super Toy Show on March 9th and 10th. We will also have it available at Wondercon! Once we finish those shows, it will become available in our shop for purchase.

Awesome!

365 Days of Horror: Playing Hide and Seek by Yourself (Hitori Kakurenbo):

365daysofhorror:

So, there was an anon who asked what I thought of Hitori Kakurenbo earlier today. While I’m still waiting to find out if they meant the movie or the game, I realized some people might not even know what the game is. It is, hands down, the creepiest shit I’ve ever heard of.

Did you ever play the…

God damn this freaks me out.
