Just finished reading it. Like you guys said, it was mediocre and derivative. The art ranged from "OK" to "please try again with more effort", but the colors are headache inducing in some parts. It's not even bad in good way, like Gabby's "America" - it's just.....blah.

I suppose it's fitting. Much like the writer herself, this comic is a pile of ideas from other, better sources, assembled into a flavorless, meaningless pile of meh.

Can't wait to see Kotaku and Polygon's slew of articles promoting this as the next Maus or Watchmen.

It begins on /co/. Better grab it before it goes 404.

Her twitter is lit up with retweets of every outlet kissing her ass for the past week, it's very reminiscent of the 14 "Gamers are over" articles but instead of bashing their customers it's just typical corporate shilling. I guess it's handy she's compiled all her paid-off reviews in one place for us.

It's a more complete work than anything else she's ever contributed to. It's not anything I would want, but it at least looks like a passable comic book. You can see her influence on the dialog... the banal, juvenile dialog.

Of all the projects she's managed to involve herself in, this one is probably the best. I have no idea who would buy it consistently, though. It's targeted at a demographic that doesn't exist for comic sales, proven over and over by Marvel's various attempts at the same idea.

How long do new comics usually get before a publisher makes a call on them?

The fact that it's not a total trainwreck leads me to suspect that this was ghostwritten (like her book) and Chelsea's only contribution was the character design, the LOLKEWLCYBERPUNKGIRLZ concept and some parts of the dialogue. My congrats to the actual writer of the comic - you tried your best with the garbage you were given (and had to work with) - you earned that knobslobbering that Chelsea rewarded you.
 
LOL, Chelsay actually wrote this, it got through editing and someone actually inked it on a page.

God damn this is awful. This is what happens when you hire people who are sucking your cock rather than people who are actually capable of doing the work.
 
That artist really doesn't know how to do paneling. The whole thing is an eyesore.

I've not read it, but given the lukewarm reactions I suspected the same thing.

Another thing I noticed is that despite the cover and previews being made of brightly coloured neon vomit, most of the actual pages look muted. I don't know if that's an artifact of scanning or just inconsistency.

Could you elaborate? It looks pretty consistent with the earlier Spider-Gwen run & the preview pages from 556 earlier in thread. I think there's a discord between the darker pages and the lighter office ones, palette-wise.

These hardly look like they're from the same book:

Here come the comicsgate spergs...


edit: Oh, boy. She's using pseudo-masonic, faux-Egyptian twaddle imagery of the sort that has a pedigree back to (at least) the fraudsters of 19th Century Britain. And can likely be viewed on the Waite Tarot deck. But, nope. Not to these sillies. It is totes stolen from some tabletop game. Wow. :story:

I think it needs a few more issues before you can decide if it's really bad or not they didn't really introduce any of the characters except the one who I presume is the main dude. It was alright but I probably wouldn't have read it if it wasn't written by an internet curiosity.

Mostly agree here, in the sense that nothing happens for a #1 issue. "Here's a crazy colored, mixed race hacker grrl that's scraping together creds for her sick dad. She's been caught hacking, but instead of punishment, PROMOTIONS! Now meet a bad girl that wants to kill you for no reason. A virus robot dog! Sailor Scouts save you with banter and color smears! END OF ISSUE." I came away with nothing but childish, Tingle-y® Whatapumpkin LLC dialogue disguised as banter.
