I know what I would do if I came across each of those artifacts: “Whoa! I’m Santa Claus! COOL!” “Hey, a beat-up flag mask! Just what I needed to wipe my ass after that burrito!”

Even if you're a terrorist who shoots him, you have to put on the mask and become the new Civilian Justice. It overrides all terrorist instincts.

At that point I doubt he's even say anything to the kid. He'd probably just pull the Bane backbreaker on him without warning.

Diamond_Dynamo I mean, in the same way that a Christian is so into the tenets of his philosophy that he disregards the pointless sins of eating seafood or whatnot. Flag code is vital for officials but would be tyrannous micromanaging if enforced, and isn't ever really brought up in arguments except to defend flag burners or discredit people's freedom of expression.

No one reads the flag code. It's a long and tedious document that seems to be written for people holding events to host diplomats or important government figures at formal events. It doesn't make much sense outside of formal events or in very ritual oriented groups. Most people don't even know that the US Flag Code explicitly allows flag burning. It doesn't account at all for use of a flag in combat as a battle standard.

@@Treblaine thats a fair point, im pretty sure they never forsaw anyone using a flagpole as a weapon, so we got a loophole.

@@notjimpickens7928 No, its not a loophole its irrelevant. They DEFINITELY foresaw a flag as a weapon as a flag can be used on the battlefield as a battle standard, its carried in combat so its clear which nation that group of soldiers belongs to from a distance. Using whatever is to hand as a weapon in combat is forseeable. The Flag Code limits itself to a narrow set of circumstances like formal events.

The same people who are self proclaimed experts of it typically like to burn the flag unceremoniously.

​@@roryscott2941Like that Wrestlemania(? Could've been Summerslam or something) billboard that had all the male wrestlers' nipples erased. I'll never be able to look at Big Show the same way again

@Parker Brown I'm pretty sure the code is talking about using pieces of an actual flag in the creation of those sorts of things, like Civilian Justice making a mask out of the flag he found, rather than a depiction or motif of one like what you're describing.

Not only were arrests like that found to be unconstitutional but the Flag Code (which is entirely voluntary to follow and isn't a real law for the average American) would classify a "stars and stripes shirt" the same as bunting, it is not a flag that was turned into a shirt, it was something made from original raw materials into something the style of the US flag. The flag code means a flag can't be turned INTO a costume like a real flag worn as a cape or cutting out the stars and handing them out as trophies to wear on a uniform. This is obvious if you've ever been to an event that does voluntarily adhere to the Flag Code (again, it's 100% voluntary, it's not a law) you'll see things like bunting and ribbons and flower arrangements and badges and billboards in the style of the US Flag and the Flag Code makes clear that it doesn't cover things like that because none of these things were ever a flag. The flag code is specifically for the US Flag and especially it's relation to the flags of other nations in matters of diplomacy because contrary to what many people think the US is a real country in the world and is going to have relations with other countries in the world, not exist as a continent by itself in between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans where it doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone else. Most of the Flag code is as much things like "when should a flag be lowered to half mast" and "wait, how exactly should the US flag be positioned relative to flags of other nations" it's literally about real flags, not about things reminiscent of the style of a US flag. It also doesn't cover the use of actual flags in combat. Flags are theoretically used in combat as a battle standard to lead troops. Anachronistic these days with radio communication and emphasis on camouflage, but he is using a real flag in combat. But Flag Code doesn't cover things like how US Army soldiers have a flag patch on their shoulder that's of both muted colors and "reversed" that's because of a convention unique to the US Army, that institution of the US army have their own rules and as this "superhero" is his own force he can make up whatever rules he likes for flag depiction on his uniform. Last tidbit: the Flag Code literally says you can burn the US Flag and that this is a dignified way to destroy a flag. Now this does say that this is for a flag that is "unfit for display" because it's faded or worn. It seems to be the symbolism of flag burning is very much open to interpretation, is burning of a flag a symbol of the destructive rejection of the concept of the united states... or is it a statement that the status quo is "worn out and unfit" and it's time to burn the old worn out flag and replace it with a new better one. For example when the US flag would officially change due to a new state becoming part of the union (so a new star), all the old flags would be ritually burned.

John Porteous ,That's not saying much.

Indeed, that's a very low bar.

Holy Terror has some legit style though.

What always bothered me is, if it had gone through as a Batman comic, that would've made TWO comics with that title and the original one was actually pretty good so it's rep would've been ruined by the other once.

Badre Bally It's been a bit since I've seen the video but it really seems a lot of the issues (as I recall) was just inexperiance. If the creator had consulted others, maybe people better skilled at art, someone to study his script and point out issues, etc... it could actually have been pretty good. It seems a lot of the issues (no pun intended) with indie comics boil down to people who don't know what they're doing and don't have any sort of feedback or oversight. Even showing your script to friends or family (who are going to be honest) can help, a lot of it feels like first drafts.

Yeah bro....I thought it was a chick too 🤦‍♂️

Civilian justice is a closeted trans girl

That's my thought exactly... The artist here does seem to have a mind for quality, but lacks the skill and experience for creating the desired product. This seems like Artist's first comic book project published to his church's youth group audience but on publication steroids. Its commendable that the comic was made... not all armature artists can claim they've finished a comic book... but you would hope the artist knew he would receive harsh criticism at his high school level of art skills. Here's hoping he took criticisms to heart and he's now producing far better quality pieces with his talent.

RobotsPajamas Civilian Justice can do it with just one hand. He doesn't need leverage at all.

Well extreme ironing exists in real life so why not extreme sewing?

Kind of sounds, to me, like one of those weird niche channels desperate attempt at having an 'edgey' reality/competition show.

I will take some fabric ... A SEW IT!

I like to think that's what has to happen behind the scenes of Kill La Kill to make it work.

Damn, I just said that. You beat me by a whole year. :)

Some Guy the artwork looks like a five finger death punch album, its so bad

His fighting skills were (badly) established along with the detective/interrogation skills and the body armor material. All right in the first two speech bubbles.

@@morganmcpherson4332 You make a great point! The album covers are much better, though. Higher quality.

Very true. I lived in Queens before, during, and after 9/11 and the feeling of malice on the streets wiped away that fleeting sense of unity and mutual support fostered by the attacks. I remember reports of Sikhs getting killed in reprisals - who aren't even Muslim - I'm not incredibly tan or anything but I have darker features and I could swear I was being eyed up every now and again, which felt so fucking bizarre. There was just a feeling of vague distrust and uneasiness, because this was also during a big demographic switch in my neighborhood, the Beltway Snipers, the Anthrax attack, it's incredible to think all of that happened in such a small time-frame. I had a couple West-Asian friends who were as American as you and I but they felt such anxiety (real or imagined, idk) that they took to wearing a cross necklaces or Italian flag t-shirts as a kind-of security blanket. It was so strange how quickly things seemed to change. A lot of us left the city not long afterwards, myself included. It was mostly born of ignorance. Even people who were well-meaning couldn't wrap their heads around the opaque enemy we were fighting - or rather that was fighting us - despite the fact that it'd been doing so since the fucking early 80's, at least. Even today a lot of people can't tell a South-Asian person (India, Pakistan, etc) from a person of Middle-Eastern descent. There was no distinction because for the majority of Americans it was black and white - USSR vs. USA, Communism vs. Capitalism. The 90's were supposed to be fucking Valhalla. We won. We fell asleep. A lot of us are still snoring.

Yes and I agree with you, but in the grand scheme of things, this is basically saying 'I hate surgery without anesthesia more than I hate getting kicked in the balls'. I mean. YES, obviously, one is considerably worse, but this is pretty bad too. Ideally neither of those things should have happened in our lifetime.

Fuzzy Dunlop I think you guys have been snoring the whole time, it was your own government who did the attack!

@@Alciato3 If you don't have a brain, don't use your mouth

@@Liliputian07 I didn't know typing was the same as speech. Thank you for educating me. Now educate yourself on how many times the US government has false flag attacked it's own people and how the news is just a government run psy op.

Don't equate the creator of Civilian Justice to Tommy Wiseau... Mr. Wiseau's comic would at least involve saying hi to doggies, football and spoons.

Magnus McCloud I was gonna say tommy wiseau would make a better comic then this

At least his would be entertaining and endearing in his disastrous way.

Did you hear about his attempt to add a “vampire car” to The Room? 😂 If not you should watch Fact Fiends video on it

Tommy Wiseau having a baby with Ed Wood, and then that baby fell down. a flight of stairs.

All thems other states is those liberal states and thems commies and aren't to be considered merican

Ha! That's a great attitude. It probably fits in the "so bad it's good" category.

I think he stole that idea from the Black Hood, a Golden Age character originally from Pep Comics which DC acquired in 1991. The Black Hood identity is adopted by a number of people, one after another, all of whom eventually die from the hood's curse. Each time the Black Hood dies, the next person to find and wear the mask becomes the next Black Hood.

No Capes!

Just learn good storytelling techniques, particularly as they apply to the comics medium. And take life drawing classes and study up on anatomy.

Don't give up on it! Just don't let Civilian Justice happen to you lol

Just write a few drafts before you spend the time illustrating it. Maybe have some people critique them. Also what Polite Q said.

I’m writing scripts for a comic of my own- problem is I can’t draw, so I need to find an artist.

Okay but what about the art

@@Nocturne22 I've seen worse. Have you ever read an early Cerebus comic?

Yeah, but he graduated from SVA. He was in Klaus Janson's class, for crying out loud. He graduated in 1996, for crying out loud. What had he learned UP UNTIL then?

It's not that much worse than the worst of the comics of that time (90's and early 2000's).

fair though i must say, sub-sandwich thighs were mostly the domain of women and spiderman in the mainstream so it is at least novel here XD

What can I say, art is hard and finding a really good artist who won't charge you an arm and a leg is nearly impossible. I've been looking for one good artist for ages now. The ones that are affordable, generally are terrible and the really good ones want a fortune, even if they've never done anything professional in their lives.

...that is kind of a nasty entitled thing to say. either you have a VERY skewed idea of what is "affordable" or a very sketchy idea of what constitutes as "professional"

I would say when you're a struggling artist, who has never been published in you life that maybe demanding the same wages a full on professional artist, even if you also happen to be really good, is a bit conceeded. It always reminded me of that bit in Seinfeild when George kept wanting to be paid the same as Ted Danson. I know as someone trying to get into the business, if the sitution was reversed and an artist came to me and offered expenses plus a precentage to put words to their art I would freaking take it and not demand professional level wages because it's a way into the industy and that's how it's supposed to work. Like with actors who take any job they can get to break into acting.

I had the same moment of realization. But, I admit that constructive criticism is necessary to keep improving.

If it makes you feel better, my work is very likely much, much worse than yours.
