you seem to care since you decided to make a video about how much you don't care.

All these comments kinda prove the cultist take correct.

They ain’t fucking cultists dude, they are consumers 🙄

Clearly alot of people care because its almost hit 1 million in sales in less then 12 hours and on pace right now to potential being his best selling comic

Dude this campaign is about to hit a million bucks in a day. I think a lot of people care including myself.

I watched the yaira trailer and still don’t have a clue what it’s about. Bought the first book (isom). Didn’t like it. Haven’t bought anything else. Character development is poor. Hope for his fans sake it gets better. If their paying that money, they deserve to get they’re moneys worth.

It's funny. because if you had any money from your "writing". you wouldnt have to grift of other peoples succes

I think it's awesome that you are so concerned

Eric is famous because his KZfaq channel and podcast helped him build a large fandom. Because they like his speeches, they want to buy his books, even if his stories are not great. It's all part of marketing. "If you hate Marvel and DC, buy my books instead."

I already know at least 1 million reasons why you're wrong

What is your track record ?

What’s the problem here there’s finally a new superhero and not a rehash of a classic hero or any bullshit attached to she’s a new character and she seems cool and people like her like what’s your problem?

I like that you’re out here speaking your mind. We need more of it. It’s not totally about amazing story for me. I love the FNT crew. Once chuck dixon was on board that is when I bought ISOM 1 2 and alphacore. So now I’m on board. It’s fun to have stuff to look forward to again

I think it's less a "deep-seeded need" to read the book as it is enthusiasm for an alternative to what we've been getting for the past 10 years or so. And I would argue that "Yaira was in Isom#1", "She has some kind of ice powers", and "She can fly" are far better reasons to try out a new book than "buy this so that we can own the haters". There are mainstream comic creators who have given way less when it comes to reasons for reading a new book. I did buy Isom #1 when the main campaign sort of settled down. It was ok. Not fantastic. Not terrible. However, most of my favorites from the Big Two are just sort of shells of what they used to be. This - at the very least - has made me curious about alternatives. I don't know if July's followers are cultists. Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. I'll say this though; when companies stop giving some of their customers what they want, they'll find it some place else. There's obviously enough of a draw to the rippaverse to make it self-sustaining. Any fool can look up a business to see if it's cash-flow positive. Rippaverse is cash-flow positive. As for the draw "not being the writers" and "not being the art", you may be right. But I'm not sure how fair it is to use the same rubric of what's "good" for a fledgling company as we would for well-established companies. I guess we'll all just have to see what this turns into, if anything.

$1.1 Million raised. Interesting points, love Rip tho, he got alot of fans

I don’t think rippaverse is the best comic in the world or anything but he doesn’t need to spoil the story. Enough people are on board. The big draw for me is Eric. It’s not a cult. It’s a group of fans

Why should anyone care about yaira? Because your opinions don’t matter!

I have 900 thousand reasons to the contrary

This is a weird video for someone out of the loop. Is he a bad person, or did he do something bad?

Honestly Eric should have focused on Isom for awhile then do spinoffs instead of trying to make a shared univese in a one book and pop out all these spinoffs lol. He could at least teased their existence honestly yaira and alphacore felt like filler

The simple answer is we're intrigued with what's being built. It doesn't even need to catch the world on fire. Even if it's just the average of the greatness comics had in the past, it's better than the best of what's currently being pushed by Marvel/DC. Promotion and output of character based stories with conflicts. People aren't that complicated. Which is a thing comicsgate is struggling to understand. All they need to do is promote and deliver instead of wasting time dumping on others. Doesn't matter if EVERYONE loves it, or hates it. None of it will be perfect, but someone like it. All you can do is count on those people who do like it and get better over time.

You need to watch the Yaira trailer they just released. My God is it a mess. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not sure why you’re criticizing Eric July’s work before it comes out. Also, there are at least a couple of important things we know about Yaira that you didn’t mention. When she was introduced, law enforcement showed up to either take her in or run her out of town. But she escaped them after hospitalizing Isom. So that creates some suspense and expectations about her backstory and what her comic will be about. Maybe stick to going after Disney.

Making 1 million dollars is considered a failur in this day and age, lol wtf.

... you... Realize the rippaverse comics are outselling mainstream comics? So... Could you say that no one really cares about even batman and superman anymore? Which could be true with the sales numbers. And the amount of supporters and non supporters of the rippaverse being interested in yaira... Which eclipsed the reception for alphacore by the industry veteran chuck Dixon? ... Or do you really want to say that you don't like seeing them succeed? Which is fine. You are entitled to your opinion. Edit: for the record, I am biased in favor of the rippaverse and the creative talent there. However, I do realize the part of the fun is tearing into something that you don't particularly like for whatever reason. Ideally, people are complaining because they want a better product and experience. Sometimes... Often times... People will argue in bad faith. I see it from the KZfaqrs I enjoy watching everyday. I am looking forward to taking a magnifying glass to yaira. I went easy on alphacore, much to my own regret. I let my bias go easy on them (even if it may help my concern be heard more willingly). Yaira? I am looking forward to it. I want to see if it can stand in he arena and make its presence felt. ... What... Other comics can you say that about? No one cares? I get it. I do. You are trying to tell us that you don't care. Don't speak for the rest of us. Edit again: watch your own video. You seem to know that there IS hype and excited fans but you just don't agree. Which makes your title disingenuous, and the arguments you take rooted in bad faith, even if points are valid. The rippaverse story telling is garbage. I make no secret about it. I realize people don't like hearing that or accepting it. That's fine. The ego is there to protect you too. I get it. Yaira better be a coherent and compelling story or I will raise a storm to Jen and sylv soska. I don't give af. I don't need to take cowardly positions. I can just be honest about what I don't like or do like. Because I am not afraid of trying to spin a narrative to satisfy my own ego. [Wrong wording. "Not afraid of not tryin to spin" would make sense.] Think about what you're saying. It's fine not to like something. But are you hiding how you really feel to twist your argument into something else? If you think the rippaverse stories suck... I whole heartedly agree. But, again, please, don't try to speak for the rest of us. Thank you.

I care about Yaira

I see a lot of the comics side of KZfaq eating itself for no good reason. Like, man you're not helping. That being said, I don't see anything gripping about Lyra, or whatever this is. Still though. Don't eat your own. I'm actually baffled I have to type it out.

Yaira is selling like hot bread. It is near 1M on 2nd day. Eric doesn't have to tell you anything because he makes good comics.

Cope and seeth

My god how do you guys expect new cool to happen if you can’t even be patient or give things a chance I get things with marvel and dc are lame right now but damn

I think there's a Yaira Music video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o9xim9Vmlpqxdnk.html

Calling fans of something cultists is a whole new level of low. I've seen comics with way worse art sell, but that doesn't make the customer base cultish. Apparently its elusive to some individuals that people have different tastes and preferences, and will therefore believe in the vision of the creators even though they might be subpar in some regards. you guys need to grow up. By the way most of these guys are buying the book because yaira was more or less introduced a little bit more in the previous comics the rippaverse had released, now if you had done your research as opposed to flaunting your intelligence over others then maybe you would have understood that.

Look, if all the clowns who keep talking bad about rippa worked harder on their own projects, maybe they would achieve their goals, instead of gossiping, shouting hysterically at X like 13-year-old girls. Go to work!

1:05 Yaira was in isom 2 as well.. She made an appearance at projexusHQ. From what we’ve seen in Isom 1 & 2, it's shown that she has history with Alphacore also.. Stop being disingenuous.

Gasp you actually made a good point. Eric really needs to tell more about the book. But again you complain people want money. Again if you don't want money give me yours.

Are you even making money off of your own stuff ?

Because she’s exactly what Wonder Woman is and was supposed to be but better

youre not impressed with the yaira trailer?

The worst part is adding the character in the first story for no reason, the only reason why its huge is because one half is desperate for anything independent even though the story suck and Eric Julys fans. Hell no because Eric July is a horrible writer

I wanted him to succeed but now that I see who he is and how easy he is to get offended and not listen. I agree with you Brother.

GuyRa

Thouist protest too much. I mean we know this is just clickbait because you said why do people care yet everybody been asking about the character. And what would it makes all those sales were you going to do You're going to say Oh it's a cult or it's just fake fans okay Faith fans who spent their money to get the character. Like grow up in matter of fact how about you work on your own character and sell it instead of trying to Griff on someone else's success and then try to tear them down

Rippaverse is the new Image, all hype, no substance, and diminishing sales.

So you start off the video by saying what you "have to do" to hype up your product, but then you complain that it's getting hype without doing those things? It sounds like you are coming from a place of jealousy. Also the complaints about the artwork have no bearing considering that what you used as an example is not what the finished product looks like.

Just a hater...

I've never understood the hype nor the success for the Rippaverse. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with anything doing better than crap out of DC/Marvel, but I still question why. ... needless to say, something doesn't add up.

A lot of people here white knighting for this nonsense of a 'verse'. The writing has been bad throughout every book released. The art has had serious issues (3D clip art or bad coloring) and the characters themselves look and act uninspiring. The Rippaverse sucks.

Wow another weirdo accusing people of being in a cult I guess I'm unsubbin to your channel sir n I really enjoyed your channel I'm not even mad but so far you called fans of a comic book idiots and a cult soo I'm checking out I wish you well

Cope and seethe more dude. This reeks of salt. "I wish it was meeee." Publish your stories and see how they do. Embarrassing.
