So here's my spoiler-heavy review. It doesn't particularly sound like anyone here will be buying the book, so feel free to go nuts.

So Isom # 2 is near completion, sounds like they're inking the last few pages. Sounds like he wants to make 3-4 books this year. From what I gather it's gonna be Isom # 2 and 3-4 separate books from the other characters. I'm assuming Yaira is gonna be getting her own book.
She appeared mostly in the middle of her own drama as an extended cameo and bumped into Isom. Naturally it leaves the door open to her book to find out why she was attacking a police station.

Isom 2 pre-order campaign hit this Monday and they're already close to 900K.
Chuck Dixon is working on AlphaCore #1, a team introduced in Isom 1. The Soska Sisters are working on Yaira #1 also introduced in Isom 1. Come payday I'm grabbing issue 2 and some of the leftover shirts from the last campaign that are currently on sale.

I just bought Isom # 2 and a Yaira shirt (those are on sale since they were part of the first campaign).

I have to thank you Coola_Yagami for introducing me to this and having finally gotten an opportunity to go through Isom #1 in person when visiting a while back, I ordered the Catch Up bundle set. I can’t wait to read both of them as they’ll be my copies.

Honestly though, if it was my series and I was doing some playful trolling, I would have drawn a random van in the background in one one of the panels with a label reading 'Trucks and Stairs Inc' or something.

Either that or have some people painting some of the trucks and one of them is slightly off and we see some random fat dude running up to them saying 'hold up, that truck is the wrong color!!'

Currently close to hitting 1.7 Mil. He will be adding a comic shortbox and Isom # 2 Cover D when that happens.
You can also purchase the books at half price to donate them.

Finally got my shipping notification this past Friday. I can't wait for Thursday or maybe I'll get it sooner. Jups got hers a day earlier than what the tracking info said.

My spoiler-heavy review on Isom 2. I doubt anyone here cares too much about spoilers. Now that the Fall is coming in, July will be announcing the Alphacore campaign soon.

Well, I had the opportunity of finally reading through Isom 2. There's just so much going on at this point and I'm super curious about what will happen next. It's like this issue is setting up other plot points to be seen in later issues. I can't help but wonder how many issues this series will have with all these threads being placed that will have to be eventually tied up.

The AlphaCore campaign started a few weeks ago, I intend to get my copies next payday.
It took about 2 weeks but it finally hit its first Million. It seems to be moving slower than the previous campaigns, but since it ends in January, I'm positive it will at least hit 2 Mil.

The Yaira comic got a live-action promotional trailer and some people, fans included, have been giving it a hard time.
I can see where their critiques are coming from, the pace and the editing is pretty bad, and the lines are pretty wooden (or at the very least belong to an old-fashioned sense of comics writing, think early 60s to mid 70s) Eric also announced a Rippaverse magazine |

I know Eric fans probably dislike any and all criticism levelled at him, but I've found the "RippoffVerse" content Scyther's been sharing pretty entertaining of late.
Their Nerdrotic videos are spot on. I'm open minded, I've never read any Rippaverse books so I can't tell if they're bad or not, at best I've heard they're "so ok, they're average", but I enjoy watching the back and forth as his name grows bigger in the industry. You're going to attract critics as well as fans. If only the critics could all be this entertaining.

His critics are wackos though.
One dude wants to get in enough shape to be able to grab Eric and shave his shoulders. Another guy showed up at one of his warehouses and left stickers on it as if saying ' Another guy took pics of Eric's grandfather's grave. Another one pretended to be a 'confused fan' telling a church with the acronym I.S.O.M that they thought the character Isom came from them, which kickstarted a small legal battle over the name, which was their intention. Some of them scanned in the entire isom comic abd posted it for free on a site, and when July had it shut down they accused him of false flagging. But I mean. It wasn't parody or anything, they were literally pirating his work. Despite the actual owner of a charity openly being happy to work with July, these same detractors are trying to say that July working with the charity is silent sort of scam. It never stops with them.
