Comics artist John Dillard and YouTuber Yellow Flash's comic book "The Mighty Golden Patriot" is up for pre-order today! This is a book that knows what it wants to be. It's a tale set during WW2 featuring an American soldier who gets bizarre abilities from an Egyptian artifact. If you are a fan of Power Rangers and Raiders Of The Lost Ark, this is intended for you. https://rippasend.com/campaign/golden-patriot/

Looks pretty good. I may check it out.
Pricing not as ridiculous as I would have thought. $17 can get you a copy of the book. Some of the indie launches are way up there.

It looks really good, but I tend to only buy stuff from people who post here because of the international postage costs and so on.

Rippasend isn't so much crowd funding as it is crowd SELLING. The books have most likely already been printed and are sitting in Eric July's warehouse waiting to be sold. The other things, like t-shirts, posters and merch, not so much.

I've put off reading Goodyng for this reason. I will be getting TMGP because I'm a fan of Dillard and Dillard's art (assuming it makes goal). This will be the last time I buy anything from Eric July's machine.

You can just look at the original poster and then say "hard pass".

Eric July is not a creator on the book. His company is just the publisher. Still fine to boycott over his politics, but it's not hos work.
I bought ISOM, which was his work But stopped there because I've found his promotional and business talent to exceed his creative talent.
I wish him well, though. He's shown a willingness to stand up to fanboy mobs and courage in finding new ways for creators to publish their creator-owned work.
Some of the boycotting of him is Trotsky-ite intra-group backlash for defying Ethan Van Sciver
