A Rainbow Of Fun Comics!

TO REBOOT OR NOT TO REBOOT?

Diaperman by Derek Mah
Diaperman by Derek Mah
Hey Folks!! Had an interesting conversation about “Reboots” in the comic industry. Now, personally, I’m against them when they happen EVERY FREAKIN’ YEAR. But what about a comic that was started 20 years ago and has gone through tons of changes? Is it valid at that point, or do you forget about the past and concentrate on the future? Those of us who are comics fans know all about “retconning” and “rebooting”: Specifically, starting a comic series over for a fresh take on the characters.  There’s always argument over whether or not it’s necessary.  In the case of Two Gargoyles Comics’ DIAPERMAN, the comic was started over 20 years ago and has gone through many changes since.  So the question is:  Do we reboot the story and start fresh, or continue the storyline as it’s been? TELL US YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHETHER OR NOT DIAPERMAN SHOULD REBOOT! https://poll.fbapp.io/diaperman-reboot-or-no-reboot

CHICK TRACT

VicewriterHey, do you Gargs know what a Chick Tract is?  They’re little paper pamphlets made (in)famous by Jack T. Chick, an evangelical, fundamentalist Christian publisher, writer, and comic book artist.  They are “equal parts hate literature and fire-and-brimstone sermonizing,” according to Robert Ito. Which means they are AWESOME. Chick Tracts are so infamously bad– so one-sided and crazy in their dialogue, and so unabashedly simple in their artwork– “good” people are handsome and well-kept, “evil” or “misled” people are ugly and disheveled, for instance– that one can’t help but enjoy them as utter, unabashed propaganda pieces. Naturally, as an Indie Comics guy, it’s only natural that I would want to subvert this format for the joy and pleasure of promoting independent comics!  Namely, the Two Gargoyles line! Thanks to Mike Rieger’s art and technical expertise, Two Gargoyles has now produced its very own “Garg Tract”– A Litany of Vice.  I’m preparing to mass-produce them for promotional purposes.  Want one?  Watch this space, and I’ll tell you how to get one of your very own!

Excitedly yours,

Michael
