Update to last nights rant, clearer heads prevail.

Bleedingcool.com updated the GD-gate story from last night. A story that pushed my buttons and I ranted at length about it in the same retarded manner that the owner of that comic shop did.

While I'm not sorry about the outrage, it was a knee jerk anger response to comments I think go way further than the original issue about Action Comics #1, which I've now read and enjoyed.

What I am sorry for was the personal poking at the guy. I think I went a tad too far. It's not like anyone really read all of the rant anyways. This is gathered from the large volume of hate mail based off the first 3 paragraphs and nothing more. And most misquoted. Haven't seen an uptick in visitors so I'm assuming word of mouth.

All in all I felt I had to stand up for comic writers, I am one, not a successful one to be sure but one none the less. Saying it's some giant liberal agenda to force feed on someone. All creators put forth their vision of what they are working on. Rarely is it "gotta tow the MSNBC line" or quoting Rachel Maddow, whom I adore, because she's awesome. I'm a liberal in some respects, though I align myself with anyone who's not a soulless asshole and more for personal freedom, all while helping out the less fortunate. Which to me is what the Superman character was all about to me. The iconic version I never related to until the Byrne revamp, I got bored quickly and became a Batman kid. The reprints of older material revealed at an early age a character that stood for people, not a nation. Which struck that perfect chord and set me on the path to being a creator. Mixed results and often broke. I never got into things for the money.

So I don't take kindly to my chosen line of work, though I do things outside of it more often as of late, being shit on in any way. We come in all stripes. Just trying to male a living in a shrinking marketplace.

The update to the story defused any anger I had at it. He apologized over his ranting and even got a response my Grant Morrison himself which pretty much made my point but in far less words. So I'm going to respect that and say the same. I went a bit too off. I'm as passionate with my profession and the rights of basic human beings that I get a little more discontent than most.

So as far as I'm concerned. It's done. We can be cool. I respect your opinions even when I don't agree with them.

You can stop sending me death threats now. Not worth it. I draw dumb shit and write dick jokes, no one would miss me.

Jokes.
