Oh boy, just got a press release from none other than Mike S. Miller
"What would drive the artist of the #1 digital comic book in the world, a constant NYTimes top selling graphic novel, and the cover artist for the A Game of Thrones series to risk all and launch an Indiegogo campaign for his own comic book?"
Wingnut welfare?
"Hope."
"CYBERFROG and JAWBREAKERS sell their comics at a premium, $25. That may seem like a lot for a comic book to the uninitiated, but Mike assures us it’s not unusual. “Graphic novels routinely sell for $20-30 to even $50 just at the book store."
"But I’m doing what I can to keep it as low as possible, and still predict that I’ll be able to match my DC rate by having a low tier digital copy at only $15 flat, and a $19.95 unsigned physical copy for those who just want to read it.”
To be clear, Cyberfrog is a plain ass single issue comic book not a 'graphic novel' and Jawbreakers is 112 pages, neither of which are generally sold for $25 or even $20
If anyone is not familiar with Mike S. Miller, he was a rising penciler on some X-Books and JLA at the turn of the century whose work dried up when he started comparing sinful gays to child molesters, murderers, and dog rapists on DC's official message boards.
After noticing his work dried up, he attributed this to 'pinklisting' and a double standard that allowed DC editors to be openly gay, but did NOT allow him to call their lifestyle abhorrent and disgusting even though that's what he's pretty sure what the Bible says somewhere.
Miller under the name "Hapajap" then delved into webcomics with Electronic Tigers and Left Center Right, two webcomics that sometimes turned into ads for pyramid schemes like Evolv Fitness Water and some other blatantly obvious scam I forget.
When not shilling "neutraceutical water" Hapajap's comics debunked evolution using Yu Gi Oh cards, made a whole lot of gay jokes, and fantasized about Obama being fatally shot but NOT because he's a gay Marxist abortionist terrorist elitist, just because.
In a remarkable turn of events, Mike S. Miller successfully scrubbed pretty much all of his webcomic/pyramid scheme work off of the Internet and started getting gigs at DC again, primarily for the Injustice video game tie-in comic series.
But now Mike S. Miller is throwing his lot in with the "Comicsgate Alliance" and is quick to point out that (as his bucktoothed kung fu self portrait suggests) he is in fact half-Japanese, therefore Comicsgate cannot be racist.
While stretching all meaning of words, here's the "best remembered" anti-Evolution superslam from Electronic Tigers/Hapajap/Mike S. Miller
Eventually ET, which began like "The New Girl but shittier" shifted to "everyone owns the fat liberal and calls him gay" and found its perfected form in ADS FOR MAGIC WATER
Here's an early example of Hapajap's Cassandra-like ability to predict the future
OH! Also right as all of these strips were coming out Grant Morrison revealed ~THE HUMAN FLAME~'s full name as Mike Miller, then had his hatred help doom humanity in Final Crisis.
