I finally figured out how to become a supporter. It took me forever, I finally watched a YouTube clip that gave me the info. I know I got in late, but is there anyway I can get copy of the first few issues. Thank, and hang in there.

2019-01-17 03:32:14 +0000 UTCI agree with some of what you all said and even liked some of the comments, and the selfish side of me says fuck yeah turn it into an empire, but that's exactly what he doesn't want. At least that's what I gathered from everything that I heard Brian say. The point of doing Rags for them was for fun, not to make it a career. He's training for his career right now, and I'm sure he gets far less stress doing the green suit then dealing with as much as he fuckin has with Rags. I'm sure he didn't know exactly what all he was getting into when he started Rags, but I'm assuming what he's learned about it along the way he doesn't enjoy it as much as he thought he would anymore. The having a 9 to 5 job, and now being in school for the career he actually wanted to pursue (Not being a comic book writer. Even though I love him for doing it), then the heavy load of work it's taking to put into the comic on top of it, the non profit from comic sales and merch sales, the wanting to make his Patrons happy, the rudeness in messages he gets from some Patrons making demands, the e*** shit, comic Tom interview and them ganging up and giving him hell for doing what he wants to do with his comic (I was like rude lay off, his comic, his choice!), and I didn't know there was Twitter bullshit ( I don't get on Twitter or Facebook much), RUN BRIAN! FUCKIN RUN FROM THIS COMIC! I DON'T BLAME YOU! NOT ONE BIT! I know you probably didn't want to read those reminders of the drama you've dealt with and are still dealing with, and I most likely didn't even list all of the stresses, but we your fans including myself need to realize and actually take the pressure and demands off of you to do another Season of Rags. I'll admit to sending you a message in hopes of another season, but I'm glad you posted this video and explained your feelings. Some of us heard you and some of us didn't. ( no offense but I'm a bit of a bitch at times) You do whatever you want to and need to do. You're going to finish up 7 issues for us, and I'm fuckin stoked about it! So thank you!

2019-01-15 01:57:06 +0000 UTCDon’t give up Brian. No matter what the trolls say on social media you have succeeded in creating a well written and sought after book. Every new comic book Wednesday shows how many turds there are versus great books. I have to pre order my copies online because my LCS sells out every week after many attempts to get it in my pull list.

2019-01-14 15:27:03 +0000 UTCAs a small business owner, I can back you up on this. Everyone gets paid before you AND, the tiny amount that may be left for you is nothing to get excited about. In my business, I tell people all the time that I could stock shelves at WalMart and make SLIGHTLY less money but I would be rich in peace of mind.

2019-01-13 14:27:08 +0000 UTCIts not the internet, its me. I have this flaw where i HAVE to respond to certain things. Been working on that for years... The crossover may have to happen and act like a character handoff. Still thinking of the right way to do it.

2019-01-13 12:13:49 +0000 UTCTo bad I’m sorry to here. To bad You knuckled under the hater bull shit. My son started his business at a young age. 22. He had basically the same bull shit with a few haters. He wares his heart on his sleeve so it really bothered him. Even with me talking about my experiences when I started out helped some but it didn’t heal the haters cuts. It’s hard to be talented at something and then have the social media haters turn up. People you don’t know. They crawl out from under their sad rock to smear shit on the walls your trying to build. I know how Trump feels, just think. His haters have a national pulpit to voice their hate. Granted he’s done or said things he probably shouldn’t have but like me, my son and you, were all human and we have a personal mission to accomplish. Do we make mistakes. Hell yeah. Your not bulletproof yet it takes time. Eventually the bullets start bouncing off and you start ignoring their bull shit. Some say fuck it and quit, some get tuffer and become bulletproof. The haters will always be out there waiting to pounce on someone or something. Enough of my fatherly advice. Good luck I hope you change your mind. You still have time. But if not, I had the pleasure of enjoying this minute in time with you and the other’s. Take care man and if so, head up , chest out, slap the bitch on the ass and go down fighting. Flame out. Looking forward to the concluding issues. Thanks. Tom. 🖖 🍺

2019-01-13 05:29:24 +0000 UTCI get what you are talking about but I think you may have to blame yourselves for how you feel. It is easy to get caught up in social networking and people trolling to piss you off or taint your name; so the easiest way to handle it is just not to get involved in it. Twitter, IG, FB; it is all toxic. Here it is: you guys built an incredible product. You can’t even find the stuff because it sells out immediately. This quality could easily turn into 50 issues to 100 issues. I myself am hooked. I commend you for creating something that grabbed my attention. But if you could just stay away from the drama and hire people to mitigate the flames and backlash online you would have less stress and may feel good about continuing. This could turn into a mini empire with action figures, posters and other items which could provide stability for both of your families and future generations. I just don’t get wrapping up after you created something so brilliant. To me its like a lottery ticket you just don’t want to turn in. Love the book and hope it continues. Meant no disrespect but I only wish I had your creativity and story telling.

2019-01-13 02:52:02 +0000 UTCI can't remember if I asked this, is there a way for us foreigners to get a uncensored copy of issue one? Boy is it going to be embarrassing for me if I have a set missing the first issue
