Bad art. All that needs to be said.

 

[sibarraz]

How could Russia be a military superpower if the nazis actually destroyed the soviet union in 1956?

 

[Loxley]

Putting aside the general WTFness of this whole thing, the art is laughably terrible.

 

[DrArchon]

When did marvel and DC become “SJW”?!

People have been calling Marvel SJW for a while because of their push for more diverse heroes. Just imagine all of the alt-right fuckwads getting mad at Jane-Thor, Kamala Khan Ms. Marvel, America Chavez, Gay Iceman, Iron Heart, etc.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Chuck Dixon wrote the official comic book adaptation of Clinton Cash

Holy shit, this is a real thing. Conservative entertainment is something else.

 

[TurnipFritters]

When did marvel and DC become “SJW”?!

A lot of awful nerds got mad because Marvel spent like a year diversifying their legacy characters (Sam Wilson got promoted to Captain America, Riri Williams took over for Tony Stark, Jane Foster took on the mantle of Thor). Several of the comics also started toning down how overtly swxualized female characters are, so they have like, actual costumes and not swimsuits. Awful nerds didn't like that one bit, let me tell you.

Comics like Ms. America and Ms. Marvel also occasionally dealt with how white people are sometimes racist, and that was bad because we should keep politics out of comics!! Now let me tell you about the XMEN, one of the most popular Marvel franchises, wo have always been 100% apolitical.

Putting aside the general WTFness of this whole thing, the art is laughably terrible.

It looks like garbage from circa 1998 Image.

Reminder about Vox Day through a few choice quotes:

whew

 

[Dandy Lyin]

A new alternative comic series intended to challenge and eventually replace the SJW-converged comics of DC and Marvel. Alt★Hero is a world not too terribly different than our own. It is a world where the Wehrmacht generals overthrew Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1939, and where the first atomic bomb was dropped on the order of Reichskanzler Jodl on Soviet territory in 1944, leading to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1956. It is a world where Japan attacked Australia instead of Pearl Harbor and China occupies the Korean Peninsula. It is a world of four superpowers, where the European Union rivals the United States of America for wealth and influence, and where China and Russia possess the two most formidable militaries on the planet.

And Alt★Hero is a world of newly discovered superhumans.

Sorry, I can't breathe. Put that shit on your vision board, you delusional fucking nazis.

 

[Busaiku]

I never read anything from Chuck Dixon, and it looks like I'll continue ignoring that moron.

 

[Secret Character]

There are a lot of people that are looking forward to this in some of the comic collecting groups I'm in on Facebook. The moderation team there doesn't let things get too heated when it comes to politics, but when people are excited for something like this, it starts getting worrying.

Also, Chuck Dixon isn't awesome. The fact that he signed on for this proves that he's a big piece of shit.

 

[Pau]

goddammit chuck dixon please stop i still want to be able to enjoy reading your old robin comics

Yeahhhh. Haven't got to the point where I can't enjoy going back to them but still.

1938. Action Comics #1. But these idiots don't know shit about the history of the medium that has "betrayed" them somehow.

[Earthbound64]

Okay well



hold on

Yeah, I was going to say.
"Not too terribly different"...

 

[Pau]

Chuck Dixon is the guy who created Stephanie Brown and complained about her treatment by DC (the whole torture, death, and according to him, rape, but I don't remember that last bit?). Yet he hates "SWJs". Smh.

 

[Kinyou]

So bassicaly it will be toned down Uber?

On the off-chance that you weren't joking, Uber is a actually pretty good alternate history take and anything but alt-right wankery.

fucking lol at the stupid "clean wehrmact" myth right in the synopsis. way to tip your hand on the "actually most of the nazis were good, it was just hitler was rude" shit from the getgo

That's laughably transparent.

There wasn't rape , there was some phallic imagery involved (power drills) but the readings of rape are of the Killing Joke variety, where it was read in by the audience later , I believe someone issued an explicit denial at some point. The whole thing was still an incredibly bad "trick' on the readers, I still don't know how anyone at DC thought tit was a good idea, let alone enough for it to become the Batman Crossover Event for the year.

And it's possible for people to agree with people they generally dislike on certain topics.

 

[Beartruck]

Genuinely surprised the protagonist isn't blonde haired and blue eyed.

 

[Kenstar]

My bet of plot:

"- after the fall of URSS, comunists hided in secret in organizations like BLM, democrats, cnn etc. The shadow organization league of comunists leaded by the evil bearded man Mark. Their plan IS working with the rise of SJW, antifa and fake news, now only the alt-heroes can save America from the red menace!"

Mark:

Can't forget the evil Illuminaty mastermind

 

[hotcyder]

Let me guess... the villains will all be negative stereotypes of minorities.

She'll be fighting memorable rouges Crazy Commie, the Feminazi, BLMonster and any form of compassion for others.

 

[TurnipFritters]

I hope they try to put Pepe in it and Matt sues the shit out of them.

Her hair and eye color are bases on the gamer gate mascot.

 

[Aske]

Oh, she's wearing the confederate flag.

But thankfully this comic does away with all the preaching that has infected comic books. It'd be really dangerous if authors started expressing blatant political beliefs through fictional works.

Reminds me of all the "small government" hypocrites who start imposing draconian laws that remove various people's rights as soon as they take power.

You know, Republicans.

 

[adj_noun]

As a bonus feature they can do Ayn Rand's A Christmas Carol.

 

[Slayven]

Marvel had 10 out of 20 top books last month and 38% Market share.

Trump has really bizarroed the meaning of "failing"

It's funny that comics didn't really become right wing until the 80s, and even that was never a consensus movement, just large parts of the industry projecting reactionary ultramasculine fantasies.

Superman and Captain America over the years have affirmed, if not leftist views, at least anti-racism, along with X-Men being an allegory for civil rights and gay rights across their history.

Of course you had stuff on the edges like Steve Ditko's work, but it wasn't until the Dark Age that you saw the more insidious elements creep in. All the current movement is about trying to stamp them out.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

Do the white supremacist babies need a safe space from those mean comic books?

Vox Day sounds like the name of a cult.

Yeah, no shit dude.

Gee thanks, it's always nice when someone says something rude when they quote me.

I hate politics in comics!

The irony is these people are being "SJW" by their definition, just their own twisted view of social justice. They're doing what they attack others for doing.

Eventually this target audience is gonna run out of money, considering they seem to spend it all on failed Kickstarters and dumb projects.

 

[Joey Ravn]

I'm also blown away by the fact that "FreeStartr" is, and I quote:

FreeStartr is a comprehensive fundraising platform with an absolute free speech guarantee.

100% of the projects of the platform are from right-wing "creators". I wonder how many non-right-wing projects we'll see on the platform.

Spoiler

Hint: none.

It's almost like it was never about politics and was twisted into being a recruitment tool used by nazis.

Bane: Conquest hasn't been amazing but I've enjoyed it enough to grab it as it releases digitally but I can't do that anymore. I knew Dixon was conservative but this is too much.

Let me guess, this came about when the normal sites refused to host that crowdfund to stop immigrants?

I feel like every social media platform now has some bizarre alt-right equivalent. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an alt-right GameFaqs at this point.
