Sure. And you know next to nothing about what I do. Your point?

All right, I’m putting on my super-serious hat for a hot minute.

This little blurb was one of the first things written on the blog. Since it was written, things have changed. We’ve delved into the world of the indies extensively. Not only has my opinion of the Marvel vs. DC debate made a complete 180, but my opinions on certain aspects of the industry as a whole have as well.

The bloggers associated with High Five have since made friendships and partnerships with companies such as BOOM, Th3rd World, and IDW. I have also been inviting authors of homemade comics to submit issues for review. Because of this, I’d been considering removing this post in its entirety.

Because of your comment (and the conclusion that you’d most likely consider its deletion an act of cowardice), I am going to leave this post as is on top of the page (at least for now).

I will admit our responses to you have so far leaned towards childish, and for that I apologize. But remember, as this is the Internet, no one is forcing you to read our blog. If you don’t approve of what we say, move along.

Can I go back to wearing my smart-ass hat now?

True, but it could be worse. We could spend our time antagonizing strangers on the internet.

I can understand sarcasm just fine. But it obviously requires more verbal prowess to convey in writing than any of the lackeys hacking away on this blog possess.

Whoa, guys. Wheeler’s back! I think we’ve got our first regular troll. I’m gonna go drink the most popular, machine-feeding beer I can find to celebrate this milestone.

Incidentally, Mr. Hall! As the resident expert on our lives how do you explain your apparent daftness in matters of sarcasm?

Faithfully & eternally yours,

It’s not what you say; it’s what you do.

Yeah. We absolutely love it when large companies screw over their creative talent. That’s exactly what we said.

Your remark “you’re trying to [sic] hard to be cool and no one’s impressed” is not really a valid criticism of those who prefer independent art and publishing. If anything, it’s a throw-away, wanna-be hipster line.

If you’re honestly fine with how DC swindled Moore and Gibbons; Siegel and Shuster; et al. and if you’re OK with the way Marvel treated Jack Kirby et al., then far be it from me to try to convince you to stop feeding the corporate beast.
