Fuuuck. I forgot about the time limits.
Yeah, shame on you, slacker! (Looks around shifty-eyed, hoping nobody catches onto the fact that I forgot to enforce the time limits.)
I'm gonna say y'all have til Friday on both counts.

Technically yes. However, I was out of action for more than a week and since I wasn't around to stoke activity, I'm going to give folks some extra time to make up for it.
I dig it. Daredevil is APPROVED.
Is that what you call tumblr bloggers?
No, I usually call them irreparably insane.
I think getting into the industry was also a lot easier back then.
At this point, screw "the industry." Marvel's too busy hiring YA novel authors, Image has become "Here's my failed pitch for a screenplay that I'm passing off as a comic" the company, and DC decided to squander all their goodwill by hiring Brian Michael "Let's take Mary Jane away from Spider-Man and put her in Iron Man's book where she'll do absolutely nothing for three years" Bendis on Superman. If there's any hope at all for American comic books as a medium, it's going to be from independent creators sidestepping the big publishing houses and finding other ways to get their works to the public.
Maybe I should go find a time machine and sign up for Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog in the 90s. Compete for Penders spot. It'd be a riot.
I'd be down for it. Maybe then the book wouldn't have clogged with OC's that don't make any sense, and Sega wouldn't hiss and spit at the mention of the Freedom Fighters like a vampire at a cross. #makesallycanondammit
I mean, shit, the entire superhero genre was created by being derivative. Superman started off as a knockoff of Doc Savage and Philip Wyle's Gladiator, Batman was pretty openly plagiarized from The Shadow, Green Lantern borrowed heavily from Lensman, and both Marvel and DC are chock-full of characters that are just ersatzes of a character from the other company.
One of the guys from the Hype way back in the day has actually written and published several indie books.
One of the guys from the Hype way back in the day has actually written and published several comics of his own at this point. So far he's the only one who's taken the plunge, though.

If I'm honest with myself, I'm pretty sure we all have the technical skill to piss out some sick indie comics. It really is tragic that we all haven't. Or at least I haven't. Have any of you guys actually published anything?

Yeah. It's freaky. I've known you guys in this capacity for five years now and this is perfectly consistent. What we really need to do is start a Patreon so we can quit our jobs and role-play all the time (living in poverty because the Big Two's lawyers would "catch [copyright-infringers] just like flies".
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: we need to take our RP ideas, file the serial numbers off of them, and start making our own comics.
Looks good to me. Thor is APPROVED.
