Let's first start with this. Brian Pulido was able to buy back his rights to Lady Death. She is back, alive, kicking, and not woke. So there is that. Next. Let's hope Rippa can snag the Soska Sisters who did such an amazing job with Black Widow!
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 He is exaggerating but it is true that Eric is one of the few individuals that is trying to make superhero comics great again and i support it i can see this becoming what Valiant was supposed to be.
@@shadowofthenamelessking right, but there are no indie companies that have multiple legends under one brand that have multi million pre-order campaigns
Finally hearing confirmation that chuck is writing a book for the rippaverse after months of thinking that one of the writers would be him makes me so hyped
I've never heard of Chuck yet apparently he is some kind of "legend" OK I'm not really that big a comic book nerd so I'll take Eric's word for it. What I'd like to know is why he was allegedly "blacklisted" from the industry as July claims in this video.
@@melchior2678 He doesn’t seem that controversial so he most likely “aged out”. As for what he’s most known for, he’s “The” Tim Drake writer. When ppl refer to Tim Drake comic books 9 times outta 10 they’re referring to the Dixon run with the character. He’s also well known for his Nightwing run, creating Bane, his Detective run with Knightfall and Knightend. And I think he’s “The” Connor Hawke writer as well. He was huge in the 90’s if that helps u.
@@therandom58 thanks for your informative reply. I haven't really collected many comics since the 90s which was when I was most into comics and I still never heard of him or any of the comics you mentioned despite being a regular reader of Wizard magazine. He must have worked mainly in very underground publications and nothing mainstream. Have there even been any video games based on the comics he worked on?
@@melchior2678 Everything I named was DC comics. That’s the direct opposite of underground. And The Dark Knight Rises movie is based on Knightfall. Bane breaking Batman’s back and all that. And any time u see Bane on anything that’s him and Graham Nolan’s character. Honestly idk how u could read comics in the 90s and never hear of him. Unless u didn’t read DC comics at all I guess?
@@melchior2678 Chuck is a conservative, which was enough for fragile leftists to not want to work with him. Chuck created Bane and wrote some of the best comics/graphic novels that DC published in the 90s/2000s.
@@melchior2678 Politics and biases aside, you need to read up on Dixon's history in the business. He's up there with guys like Steve Ditko and Bill Finger. He's written or contributed to a lot of the most iconic stories across multiple IPs from the 90s onward.
When the character was first conceived, she was initially planned to be Asian, but was named after an African-American woman that Eastman had once known. Eastman has since claimed that April is supposed to be mixed-race, while Laird retains that April is Caucasian.
If the Rippaverse ever branches out into fantasy/sword-and-sorcery type stories, y'all should let Chuck run with it. His old Conan material is top-notch.
Chuck is getting work at an insane rate lately, damn good to see it! One by one, former "mainstream" creators who were boxed in, left out, and stepped on are coming over to the Indie side of life and finding great success. Another Rippaverse comic I'll be buying.
When Eric July said he wasn't fucking around before his first release of Isom he truly meant it. Can't wait for Isom 2 and seeing what the future holds for the Rippaverse 💪🏼. Congrats on getting Chuck Dixon on the team 😎👍🏼
And this is how you reinvest into your company. You get more talent, and adding Chuck Dixon to the roster is massive. After seeing his run with Batman and the whole Bat Family, I cant wait to see how AlphaCore shapes up. Also i now have more questions about the world and where Isom fits in and that is the type of excitement missing from comics, and stories in general. Damn what a great addition.
This man is responsible for A LOT in the comic book industry. From co-creating Bane for amazing stories such as "Knightfall" and "No Man's Land" and being the most prolific Batman writer of the 1990s, to working on the Punisher, Simpsons, Transformers: Evolutions, and so much more! To have someone like Dixon attached to any of your projects is a real privilege. Eric just pulled what I would call a total battlefield flank on his detractors with this move. Gotta respect that. 🙂
Well done, Eric. Another great accomplishment. Don't let the hate get to you. You're doing it. You're a tidal wave of inspiration to rising artists. Keep winning, my friend. Godspeed!
@@AngelOfDæth_4 Hah! A quality observation. He seems to feed on it. A fine magical ability in the face of such foolishness. "What can men do against such wreckless hate?!" "Ride out with me."
HOLY SHIT! I grew up on Chucks work too. This is amazing! Omg keep going Eric! Keep embarrasing/exposing the mainstream comics even more than you already are! I was already sold before this annoucement now Im triple sold!
This is such awesome news. Man I love Chuck's work. Rippaverse just keeps getting better and better. By the way, his "Hunter Ninja Bear" that he did with Fenom Comics was a blast, and the artwork by Mel Rubi was freaking GORGEOUS.
AWESOME!!! Man, I am STOKED! The addition of a second line and the growth of your stable of talent is actually exciting to witness. Keep this up and Marvel is in trouble.
Dude!! Even a know-nothing like me who was "only anime" growing up has heard of Chuck Dixon!! This is Legendary status and BIG moves right here! This is going to be Great!
I think as someone who's not into comics its actually much more approachable to start with a whole new universe like Rippaverse instead of trying to understand the vastness of the old ones. Looks like I'm about to start reading!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been anticipating an Alphacore book since that first panel with them was revealed. I'm even more excited now that the LEGENDARY Chuck Dixon is writing it. I haven't been this excited about comics in a long time. Thank you Eric!!!!
I run a local educational center that caters to students of all ages for math and reading. I bought ISOM #1 to include in my library for students to look at and it immediately garnered interest. I can't wait to get ISOM #2 up there, and now Alphacore. I love what you're doing! Keep it up!
This is awesome the Alphacore are getting their own series, I figured Isom would be the marquis character of the Rippaverse, but it's cool that other characters are getting their own books too.
Wow! This goes to prove that when you put your nose to the grindstone and just DO THE WORK, you can succeed. Clown Comics Companies like DC, Image, Marvel, etc. are not the only people who can do it. Big ups to the Rippaverse!

Rippaverse haters and goalpost movers are going to be working overtime clutching pearls.
this man slowly but surely is singlehanded saving western comics. hopefully more legends follow suit.
There are also plenty of other good Indie comics though.

Keep shutting the haters up. Congrats Eric and The Rippaverse. 💯
This is a good move. Support this and stop giving money to the companies that hate you.
This is like Magic Johnson joining the 92 Dream Team.. young vets and old vets uniting for one cause 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rippa did some of the most baller shit I have ever seen here. When you hire your heroes. Gotta love it.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Eric really got legends on his team 😢 Congratulations
The detractors are gonna have to move those goal posts into another Galaxy to make this look like a loss
This is actually insane, the great Chuck Dixon joined the rippaverse 😮😮. How incredible 🎉 congrats!!

What did Chuck do to get blacklisted and is that alone what makes him "great" ?

Getting Chuck Dixon on board gives you a whole new sense of legitimacy, not that you needed it.
It’s all coming together now. This train cannot be stopped.
What Eric is accomplishing is simply incredible. Mad respect for this man.
If the Rippaverse ever branches out into fantasy/sword-and-sorcery type stories, y'all should let Chuck run with it. His old Conan material is top-notch.
I'd love to write a story like that for Eric.
His new Conan novel is quite good too.
Fantastic news, Eric! Hail Chuck Dixon and the Rippaverse!
Dayum! The legend himself joining the Rippaverse!
Congratulations Eric, and Chuck is gonna mutually benefit from this, more than just income.
YES SIR!!! Rippaverse seems VERY promising with getting great storytellers that is focus on the actual story! Can't Wait!
This is a major move, and it's only the start. I also like how you chose Alphacore and not the obvious one everyone expected as a second book.
