I've posted some community polls asking respondents to predict who is my favorite Rippaverse character. Did they finally guess correctly? Find out in this livestream! Also, let's talk about ISOM #2 and Eric July's interview today with Blue Marvel creator Kevin Grevioux!

We have come to the end of ISOM #2 at last! What gleanings of intelligent criticism might we find lurking in these pages where Avery Silman meets Sidney Bloodruth and engages in the book's climactic battle? 00:00 Introduction 00:40 Unnecessary Words 01:50 Unclear Text 05:35 Bad Art Sequencing 08:37 "Youngblood" Ending 09:56 Crappy "After-Credits" Scene 11:58 Better Ending 12:37 Unhelpful Teaser Text 15:26 Final Thought: Motive 18:53 Conclusion Buy my books at: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mike-Partyka/e/B08T7VKN44 Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MikePartyka Gumroad: https://michaeljpartyka.gumroad.com/ Follow me on: Gab: https://gab.com/MichaelJPartyka (Twitter PERMABANNED me!

Before you bother trying to convince me that in the overall Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel is either the real enemy or at least equally culpable in all the conflict over the past few decades, I'm going to need some assurance that you and I occupy the same moral universe. #Israel #Palestine #MiddleEast #Gaza

It's one of the most intriguing and sought-after sequences in the ISOM books, but somehow Eric July and crew have managed to make even *this* a confusing read for some. Who's talking in this now-famous scene? 00:00 Introduction/My Assumption 00:37 A Challenge Arises 01:21 Justification No. 1 02:13 Justification No. 2 02:55 Justification No. 3 03:43 Justification No. 4 04:40 Justification No. 5 06:02 The Verdict 06:17 Possible Oops No. 1 07:55 Possible Oops No. 2 08:44 Possible Oops No. 3 09:04 Fix No. 1 09:40 Fix No. 2 09:59 Conclusion Buy my books at: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mike-Partyka/e/B08T7VKN44 Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MikePartyka Gumroad: https://michaeljpartyka.gumroad.com/ Follow me on: Gab: https://gab.com/MichaelJPartyka (Twitter PERMABANNED me!

There are a lot of pages in ISOM #2 that rub me the wrong way. But there is one page -- one stinking page in particular -- that I loathe with such a mixture of fury and disgust I wish I could tear it out of the book.

To all the people asking, "Who are the real terrorists?" I nominate the callous souls who pretend to have compassion for small animals so that their side can keep killing small children. #Politics #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Missile #Terror

In the last 24 hours a mini-feud has popped up between Rippaverse founder Eric July and Comicsgate legend Ethan Van Sciver. It's an interesting case demonstrating what misunderstandings can ensue when two people with different value structures come into conflict.

In my review videos for the first third of ISOM #2, I encountered many reasons to complain, but I still held out hope that later pages might redeem the book. After the second third of ISOM #2, that hope is gone. Game over, man. Game over. 00:00 Introduction 03:37 Dialogue: Vague and Weak 08:15 Bonus: How the Scene Should Have Gone 09:23 WTF Are We Even Doing Here? 16:59 One-Off Mistakes 20:06 Art Slack 23:28 Wasted Space 25:44 Stuff That Makes No Sense 31:21 Ruining Goodyng 34:08 The Three Things That Impressed Me 36:26 Conclusion Buy my books at: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mike-Partyka/e/B08T7VKN44 Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MikePartyka Gumroad: https://michaeljpartyka.gumroad.com/ Follow me on: Gab: https://gab.com/MichaelJPartyka (Twitter PERMABANNED me!

Keith Giffen was perhaps the first comic book writer/artist whom I truly regarded a legend -- and that was *while* he was writing and drawing some of the works for which he would attain legendary status. And now this giant has passed on. Will modern creators learn from his brilliance?

It's finally time to explore the question that's been haunting readers of ISOM since issue #1: WHY DID ISOM QUIT??? What terrible, traumatic event occurred in Avery Silman's past that caused him to exit the superhero life? 00:00 - Introduction/Years Ago... 07:10 - Talk Therapy 11:57 - Is Cedric Making Sense? 17:47 - What Did Avery Agree To? 19:08 - What Is Avery Hiding? 22:39 - Editorial Revisions 29:23 - Conclusion Buy my books at: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Mike-Partyka/e/B08T7VKN44 Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/MikePartyka Gumroad: https://michaeljpartyka.gumroad.com/ Follow me on: Gab: https://gab.com/MichaelJPartyka (Twitter PERMABANNED me!

ISOM #2 proudly introduces GOODYNG: THE POLYMATH to the Rippaverse! And does it in a rather clunky way, given all the problems with his intro's logistics, storytelling, dialogue, structure, and wasted space. So let's fix it! (NOTE: Any descriptions I've included of Goodyng's technology, personality, or origins that go beyond the text and depiction presented in ISOM #2, and especially any which contradict any material given in later pages of ISOM #2, are of my own design and are not derived from any external sources such as conversations streamed or recorded by Eric July and/or Mike Baron about the character. However, the Rippaverse is welcome to adopt any ideas about Goodyng I've introduced in this video, free of charge or attribution.)

Despite this video's negative-sounding title, I'd like to take this opportunity to sing the praises of ISOM artist Cliff Richards, who delivers to Eric July a sequence of panels in ISOM #2 that is just masterful.

One of the major challenges of writing a #2 issue is making sure a reader who hasn't read your #1 issue can still follow along with your story. Do the opening pages of ISOM #2 rise to that challenge?

We're moving into the interior of ISOM #2, and before we even come to any story pages, I've got a few things to say. Above all else, realize that there is *no* place in a comic book where you can let quality slide -- *especially* at the beginning.

Scott Adams might be correct in his assertion that the more absurd the media reporting, the less it's likely to be true. But Canada just showed us an exception to the rule. #News #Canada #Skepticism

The sad thing about hearing "65% of Americans don't like the Electoral College" is knowing it's because most of those people think the Electoral College is too pricey and their kids will never have the test scores to get in. #UnitedStates #Politics #Government

How did we get to the point where people think a 17YO girl is old enough to cut her tits off and call herself "Jim-Bob" but not old enough to start financial planning off the corpse of her sugar-daddy husband (which is only ten thousand times more normal)? #DaneCook #Marriage #Grooming

ISOM #2 has finally arrived in my hot little hands, and it's time to dig in with the critiquing!
