Radio that makes you think this is Brian kill me, show flash, you probably deserve just because you scrape that is from the 2002 movie Spider-Man famous line in Spider-Man war.
It's all part. I think the hottest thing in movies right now. The Marvel comics and they come to life is bottom in the Batman to Capt. America on down but there's something happening there going way woke and got to the point where a guy like Eric July were the most successful comic writers in the country said I'm done with it. I'm doing my own thing that's exactly what is happened. Eric July joins us right now. Eric welcome back to normal temperature. Jim had no problem I should say welcome back as adjunct TV yesterday and I'm just really struck by what got you to the point where you said to yourself I'm in a go do my own thing and form the rip of a Ripper verse comics would brought you to the point to even a stat and established a career to go try it on your own will. For me it was like you know I'd been in a commentary space with comics for for a while now and you know I talked about and complained publicly.
You know you two. Everything about the direction at the companies were going for me was like you know what I got to be a part of the solution.
I feel like my calling is to be a creator. Yes, the commentary be political or I am a comic book space was elected at the skill set. However, when it comes to the music and all the other stuff… In the creative sets that were my call what I believe God put me on this earth to certainly do so. I wanted to shift away from just simply complaining about Knoxville will pointed out that something is is bad or whatever, but I need to be a part of the solution. So something that I thought was going to be able to happen until I you know was well into my 40s and add all this no money stored up in all that and a lot of success over the last few years and it just accelerated everything so as they kill screwing up.
I was put them in the demand obsolete kept growing and it just felt like the right time to do it is not something I was necessarily done, you know, to spite these weirdos. It was more. This is a great time to do it and obviously I've been reassured. Considering that the the campaign is that $3 million. So you tell me that Isom number one first before we tell that your new thing would brought you to this point because the comic book industry.
Like so many others is gone. Woke and we've noticed it almost embarrassed to be American and we stated over and over again.
Here's an example of Superman. This is the first one 1978 Christopher Reeve any changes to real see what it is now cut 30, why are you here the reason for this trip just politics as he still all that stuff started noticing people awake breaking away from tradition and going woke yeah like with that obsolete Gabriel tables cool course is the colorist for you and I some issue number one. And you know that's that's what did it for him. You know they even it out it was nothing wrong with saying with Superman being understood as part of this American hero, not sort of. That's what he was nobody that was from another country had any problem certainly with that but that was more, signifying the changes that were happening, culturally within the also culturally within comics and that there were allied a lot of spiteful individuals that were starting to become creative in this space.
They didn't like the place that they were happy.
They like people a bit be at various rates or whatever if they had certain ideas and they were riding those comics to depict their social political views and his wife comes off the way that it does right now and that is so obnoxious and so bad a creative stuff is really gone out the window with more about being naughty until the head with your specific politics enough love might look. I want to do that. I want to give people some good good story.
The other on the universal truth that I want to certainly acknowledge what is right what is wrong what is good or bad. What is just and almost taught the concepts but you know what you're trying to do here.
First and foremost is give the audience what it is they want with a good story and that point has been completely lost, seemingly on the mainstream industry to tell me that Isom number one why is of course the first book to reverse publisher we had a man it was a task to not only just have it be this characters book but also this is watching the entire universe here forces were telling the six page comic book right 96 pages I need.
I couldn't keep it like 20 pages like what a lot of the books are now with five pages of and I just had to do it my way in the way that it is a 96 pages was what, what, came out of that and it's about. I some character by the name of Avery Sillman used to be a hero of sorts, and then he kind of stopped due to this event and this story picks up where the hill maybe Avery Sillman gets a call from his sister, trying to find the whereabouts of this character of the so the character was a family friend and because of that he has to go into the city that he no longer lives than he lives outside of it to, talk to his old friend to figure out what's going on where the whereabouts of this old family friends. They had so that, where the store pops off and it is again. It is not just about launching ice on the character itself is an entire universe of this point of different characters that people are going to be introduced to and I think we had a great balance of different people that familiarity of never lived here in the comics but also giving them some subtle form of uniqueness and freshness about it was great. Exports of America's entertainment so people got to know what America was not only the wars we fight, but we produce. We begin this idea this land of the free the home of the brave. The chance for there is an opportunity the Statue of Liberty and part of it was comic books. The industry you're in the movies that we put out the theme parks that we produce.
And that was one of the great things about America just free enterprise go do it. People will come and I thank disheartened by the way that you're fighting to keep that going. We don't want to get don't propagandize but you, like the German-American you understanding.
We get a lot of what we were born here. Yeah, like you know about you, and I value liberty like first and foremost is not a secret like something that I'll probably wear on my sleeve and I absolutely understand and acknowledge that being in this geographical area have been born here. I have a lot more adventure then let's say if I was born elsewhere and I'm not oblivious certainly to that and you bring up a great point with America being used to be like a net export in terms of what was considered the good entertainment we set the sea comics are our industry. For example, we set the scene for the entire world would understand to be a a comic book one now and comics for those that don't know. It's not like that anymore.
The airports are the what, what's dominating the American market right now Japanese comics, also known as Mongo destroying America and not just in Japan, destroying them in and in America North America so instead of having to self-awareness. The creative would say we cannot tell skip right now by the Japanese in our own industry in our own country. They still put out this sort of nonsense and you know I make this joke about all the time about account. Try to make American, fly competitive again in this so that they start yet again wanting our entertainment as opposed to us having to import it and really it's not that the Japanese, for example, are doing anything new to do the same thing they been doing for decades is just that, because the American comics have gotten so bad just by sheer default something exists that is because that is just simply not be.
Nobody is aware of this random social, political, not that the people of Fox News contributor transom.com daily newsletter inviting you to join a conversation every week is been Dominic's podcast listen no Fox News contests.com and also would you say comics have been racing gender sapping characters we could just read and I think black, white, Hispanic, or any type of pronoun selecting culture open a sure matter when we moved in the direction where that's the obsession now in automated not to say that you can have a character be black, obviously with our character. You cabinet you have. Could be a woman or whatever the problem is is that nowadays it's the hyper emphasis of it and because they think the creative over there think that they are everybody else of the shallowest them. They feel like what happened, black character beat everybody over the head with the fact that he is black and then back is going to represent the black population of the wall, just monolithic at the same exact upbringing same value system and all and all that which is to simply not the case but again they think everybody is that shallowest them know I say this all the time like this idea that the only way that I could literally relate to a character is if there black is nonsensical, but it's also insulting you have a black character be embraced by white people or white character be embraced by black people. If you're not shallow that takes decent writing that takes this idea to be able to resonate with other individuals and outthink these people not only not be don't have the experience to do that, but they're just so obsessed with identity that that get in a way, of any kind of story that they could feel that even halfway decent virtualize your founder or the reverse comics and you can go indeed and now they're not out yet right having more dates of the route, so we are going to set up your campaign. So going in September.
You guys will start receiving shipments we half ironically enough, he was expected of $3 million back, but still 64 days left in the campaign.
However, because this was in a crowd fun. I just took the transparency of it. You guys are going to like most of the product. We already got here. We did have a couple about the print of the actual book that we need to get in there will start shipping those out of going to September even though the campaign still will be close you will be able to get your behaviors right now were going to mill about. You get Movember.com. Of course we have different bundles where you can save money and you can go ahead and grab whatever it is that you want. I haven't reached out to a lot of comic book retailers but the safest bet is to always go to reverse.com placing your order when you order you get your login, you can keep up with the know the actual order itself when it ships at all that would keep it right there for you. Lastly, I want you to hear this with Eric's life center rep reverse comics why you went out in is doing his own thing I want to hear Brandon. Brandon, Ruth, I think that's a save name try to explain to us why he gets rid of the American way from Superman cut 31 the American way is kind of change in his and his people can take that to mean many different things. So the fact that it's not in the film. I think as is powerful because really cements transcended America and although it was founded on those basic values that we create in this country. That's not as important maybe as as just the fact that he so special to to everyone and that he can be an icon to somebody halfway across the world is he talking about camping. I come to somebody because worldview say American way. Yet that's bizarre that such a weird thing, if anything, you know they can especially have something to aspire for an aspire to be. In the event that they know where that character is so he's kinda being hypocritical and this is a rather contradicting himself. Yeah, he had existing, despite having that true justice in American way transcended just America and he's been away of an inspiration to people that are outside of this country.
So what why did you need to change it in the first place seem like that it already happened. How this is a God, but more so ashamed to be you know in this geographical area.
We know that there's a lot of counter movements that are unfortunately completing government with country mill, all with that we process a morsel value that you think of Americanism and these folks are trying to run away from it and it just simply not work. I lastly here's I want you to evaluate this X-Men clip it's excellent dark Phoenix club when they change the name to X woman cut 32.
It's funny I can actually remember the last time you with when risking something and by the way the women are always saving and then around Terry might want to think that changing the name in okay me to such a goofy government seeing that and I was like oh my God is basically when I was all about out of marble in DC and doing everything with with anything that they had to do with his board buying the products, but I'm seeing it so crazy but a lot of people don't know Victoria Alonso I believe is a name she's somehow keep going upward with marble and she's echoed that same sentiment multiple times and different like interviews and whatnot will she Sam will bear call the X-Men.
I don't understand why they're called that because they have a bunch of well women that are part of their team again. Self-awareness does not exist with these folks and I used to be one of those goggles like man is sucking on seeing his beloved characters be ran to the ground. But now, like you know what, keep it up. Keep it up as all God was going away as it is good for the rep reverse better the country but good for Eric to lie, especially Eric congratulations on taking the risk ensuring that the neural spirit and using your creativity to help restore the American way. Much love, and I appreciate your work with have all right go out to the reverse.com and in support Eric. He took great risks for you so we could do was support his is quest year and he didn't phone it in.
This is 90+ pages. Thanks much.
