Singaporean Chinese immigrant living in the USA; proud Pterodactyl mum; cats own my soul. Believes in love, music and legends. Wife to comic artist Shane Davis.
DC does not pay royalties to cover artists.
If you want to support Jae Lee, don’t buy his Rorschach cover because it is mainly the writer and penciller who gets paid royalties.
Instead, buy a book where Jae Lee drew the pages.
Please share this info to support him.
If you talk to non-Westernised Muslims, who are the majority, you’ll quickly realise that they are very anti-LGBTQ+. So a Muslim-approved Kamala Khan will be anti-LGBTQ+ as well.
But you’re not ready for that conversation.
Feminists say they need more strong, take-no-prisoners type role models in the world. Yet when
@ginacarano
steps up, they immediately disavow her because she has “wrongthink”. Ladies, strong women will have their own values and speak their minds. You can’t have it both ways.
I’m so glad to see Asian people finally exist on the big screen now that Hollywood has deemed us worthy!
I guess decades of Asian cinema with way more genres than martial arts don’t count.
Mr King, will you denounce me as well for working with CG for being part of a “hate group”, knowing full well that I am a Chinese female immigrant? Would a group so truly opposed to diversity have welcomed me?
Allow me to shed a non-American perspective on things, since I still read the Singapore papers and lived outside of the USA for over 30 years.
Superman is an AMERICAN ICON. Everyone outside of USA sees him as an AMERICAN whether you like it or not.
Someone called my husband a racist for mentioning his wife is Asian.
You know what is really racist? Discounting my existence to fit your racist, bigoted narrative about CG.
No, Mark, this says a lot more about you.
You are the petulant child who would kick down a sandcastle if they don’t play with it the way you want. You want to destroy everything in hopes to remaking comics in your own image.
You’re welcomed to do that with your own IP, though.
Dear SJWs, there is actually a way to stop Shane, Ethan and Graham from getting royalty checks from DC Comics. And this method is perfectly legal:
Make characters that are so awesome that DC will use them instead of the characters the CGers above made.
The end.
I have bad news for the terminally online.
Before the internet, most of us just consumed entertainment without even knowing what a creator looks like, let alone their politics.
Normies, I assure you, do not care if a writer has the same politics as them.
@DankyFranky1
@ComicBookRobert
That’s great, but I’m pretty sure your own politics inform your choices towards which creators/work you find value in, and they more likely align with certain creators and not others.
Cat's out of the bag. I got an infection after my C-section, was operated on and put on a lot of pain meds since I had 2 major surgeries in 2 weeks. That led to my current situation of GI bleeding from too much pain meds, so I'm back in hospital.
Notice the number of former fans out saying that Rocafort’s art is “ugly” after they found out he‘s CG. There was no such talk before that. Same for my husband.
Sour grapes from these “fans”, indeed. Can’t wait to see more of such “fans” when the next creator joins CG.
I am calling myself a terf the same way you guys called JK Rowling a terf. Trans rights cannot infringe on the hard fought-for women’s rights. Is that bigotry in the eyes of the law, or only in your narrow world view?
All this argument about race-swapping Ariel when everyone should instead be lamenting the soulless-ness of Disney live action films. Nothing will beat the animated versions. Disney needs to make new stuff like they did in the 90s and early 2000s instead.
The definition of Cancel Pig is someone who takes away your ability to earn a living, generally by de-platforming you. Someone choosing not to promote you does not remove your ability to continue earning money, nor does promotion guarantee you more money.
Here's a bit of truth for you:
No one in CG called publishers to cancel those books. We just didn't open our wallets to books that no longer interest us.
The mainstream is always saying CG is a minority. If we just didn't buy those books, we shouldn't have hurt them right?
You think comicsgate ever would have picked up an issue of Squirrel Girl? They just didn’t want that comic to even exist or admit there’s plenty of fans who read and loved it. You think they hated Jon Kent being gay bc they love Superman so much? They just hate gays
I’m his wife. Chinese. Immigrant. A woman. All the supposed characteristics CG hates.
We abhor characters being created to fit those checkboxes, or if they are race/gender-swapped to create false diversity. Diversity should be organic, never forced.
Someone talking about women in the context of baking pies and handjobs, and another calling me an “Asian fresh off the boat”, but tell me again about how CG is misogynistic and racist. 🤷♀️
Weird people saying CG is a misogynistic, racist hate group and here my husband has 2 women of colour working on his project, including me co-writing and inking. But hey, whatever fits their narrative, right?🤷♀️
So weird. Didn’t know Comicsgate is a company that employs people 🤔
I co-write and ink our own books with my husband. That makes me a self-employed creator.
Some of these people try to own you with words, and it turns out, they need a dictionary first.
I will keep everyone posted about Shane's surgery. (Chances are he'll post it himself)
Unfortunately, it was one he could not put off as it would risk permanent damage to his drawing arm, so it had to be done before finishing Rex 2. We will strive to keep the delay to a minimal.
SJWs hate-watching our videos and not understanding the sandwich thing is a bit we do in all our videos think that is proof that Shane is a misogynist 😂😂😂 Bruh, he buys me sandwiches whenever I ask and even when I don’t ask because he knows how much I like them.
Everyone has different morals. Don't push yours on others, and don't let others push theirs onto you.
Support who you want. You control your wallet. Choosing to close your wallet is not cancel culture, because it is only YOUR wallet.
That's all I have to say.
Thank you,
#comicsgate
for getting Inglorious Rex to $303k! None of this is possible without your support. Last few pages of pencils left, and then we’re off to letters, pre-press, and finally, PRINT!

Hello there! May I introduce you to myself, a Chinese comic inker and writer in NC and part of
#comicsgate
? And another Asian American comic creator in CG who creates her own fantasy series
@RenieDraws
?
Feel free to represent yourself here where we have a diversity of genres!
As long as
#comicsgate
keepers exist, Asian American comic book artists will never be safe to tell their stories about their experiences in America. We must break down those gates and be free to represent ourselves!
Tom King is a freelancer, just like Jae Lee. They were both hired to work on a DC property. DC does not owe either of them a consultation on who else can or cannot work on their property.
Some people think I am a sock puppet account even after I appeared in 2 videos with my husband (more to come). Others think I am an ‘Auntie Chan’ for being among CGers.
Shows you who the real racists are.
Re-watched Robocop 2 and there’re people of all races amongst both the good and bad guys. Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics. Women in roles of power. Why does Hollywood act like diversity is a new thing?
Funny thing is the diversity was so organic that I didn’t even recall it 🤷♀️
@ChrissieMayr
She wanted to be the first in line to wish for your child to stay eternally youthful. That’s the reason why we give red packets to children during Chinese New Year’s.
All this talk about kids being left to fend for themselves by certain people, and all I can think is - “damn, if you came to Asia, you’d think we’re all being mistreated.”
Japanese kids walk to kindergarten alone. Chinese and Indian kids are implicitly responsible for siblings.
Are some writers acting out because they know they can’t make a crowdfunded comic without artists? So they feel the need to put down successful artists? Make them think they need a writer’s blessings to work?
Remember: artists can make comic books; writers can only make books.
Hey asshole, maybe go back to the actual source material before you try to claim our culture?
Mulan is a poetry about filial piety. A woman who didn’t want her elderly father to be drafted, so she dressed as a man to go in his stead. None of this Disney song and dance.
This is a fact!
She never felt like a woman and the most touching song in that movie was her describing/trying to understand why she does not fit in/how she would hurt her family.
The movie confirmed/never went forward with that part of the story in the end due to the times.
“Squid Game” proved that shows don’t have to feature a diverse cast to be successful.
That should be the correct title. But I don’t think people are ready for that conversation.
“Squid Game” proved that shows don’t have to feature an all-white cast to be successful.
The South Korean drama series, which cost Netflix a mere $21 million to produce, is now worth nearly $900 million in impact value.
Back at work on Inglorious Rex 2 pages. Have a couple of pages left to go. I opted out of the nerve blocker so I can still draw.
Not gonna lie. Hurts like hell.
We heard running in the bedroom last night when the baby was supposed to be sleeping.
Shane opened the door to check, and our daughter ran clear across the room shouting, "OH!"
She dove head-first into her bed and flattened herself out, pretending to be asleep.
Nice try.
Remember that the people who call CG misogynistic racists are the exact same people who call me a "token" and a "shield". They reduce me, a Chinese woman, to a mere object. So when they call us CGers misogynistic or racist, they need to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
I see the fake narrative being spread that we got into C2E2 under a fake name. We went to C2E2 as 9 Lives Comics from the very start. Jon wanted to go on the booth registration under his Secret Door company, but we were told only 1 company can be listed, so we went with 9 Lives.
Shane: There’s a lot of weird back room stuff lately.
Me: You’re telling me. I’m in a back room talking about Naruto and sh*t and how hot Gaara is. I hope I don’t get cancelled over this.
Shane: …
Guilt by association? Ok, let's turn this around, then. Associating with YOUR side means:
- threatening a bat to the teeth
- actually vandalising a comic shop for inviting EVS
- wishing cancer upon the entire other side
Do you practice all the above, Guilt-by-Association Nelson?
@mrmarkmillar
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. You can claim "no labels" now but you are sounding and acting like them, they're all going gaga over you parroting their shtick, and you gave EVS (the head CG creep) props when he praised you. Guilt by association, Mark
The amount of bizarre attacks on Shane and I have increased since people have read Rex 2 and love it.
Make of it what you will 🤷♀️
The readers are happy, can't wait for Rex 3, and that's what we care about. We will strive to meet and exceed your expectations of 9 Lives Comics!
The most upsetting thing about the Ed Piskor situation is the family he has left behind, all of whom are no doubt bewildered and confused by the speed at which everything went to hell in a handbasket in under a week.
Yep, I'm CG and proud that I stand for quality comics and customer service. If that's trash, I'm happy to be called that rather than be lumped in with mainstream sex predators 🤷♀️
SJW always call logical arguments "bad takes". Can they try something new?
That's how they try to shame you into buying comics you're not interested in, folks. And we've seen how well that tactic works.
Sorry I buy superhero comics for superheroics and not slice or life, romance, etc.
I have a minor in business, all our previous campaigns shipped on time, there are zero complaints on the quality of our comics, and we have an accountant who handles our llc stuff.
What goalpost next, please?
@linyanzi
@denrod79
How’s your distribution and publication, any financial advisors to make sure the selling on your product is done properly and on time, you have an llc, ever did business classes?
A solemn request from us here at 9 Lives Comics:
We’d like if readers can hold off on talking or showing specifics from the last 10 pages of the story when you get it, so it does not get spoilt for other backers for the next 2 weeks at least.
Thank you!
You mean any female creators in
#comicsgate
that are not white and Christian? Sure. I am a Singaporean Chinese who co-writes and inks with my husband, there’s
@RenieDraws
who is Chinese &
@Charlies_London
who is Jewish.
Funny thing is, people in CG don’t call us tokens. You do.
Moving from a smaller house (that we are currently renovating to sell) to a bigger house is called an upgrade, which your personality desperately needs to find meaning in life.
Tell you what, Preston. If ANYONE, not just Capcom, can successfully sue us for copyright infringement on Annatomic’s design, we’ll crown you king of CG like you always wanted. How about that?

Animegate is going to be the next thing. Where SJWs judge another culture’s creations by their Western standards.
Why not just come out and say that SJWs are racist against Asians? We have seen evidence of that in CG already, so it will definitely happen for AG.
I can't be on Twitter all day responding, y'all. I'm going to finish up another Axcend page inks, and put together a statue I just got in the mail.
Enjoy the Friday and weekend!
We stopped work last evening because Shane thought the mailman would hate us more than ever if we loaded anymore onto the front porch.
Back on the saddle again!

So you:
1) Deny having said that 99% of creatives have no business sense?
The failure rate of new businesses is 50% over 5 years. That means 50% have enough business sense to succeed .
(Cont)
Here's what was actually said. As you can see:
1. That wasn't what was said.
2. The actual statement is true; most of the creatives in comics are not publishers.
3. This part isn't even about crowdfunding. It's about the old, archaic model (like the direct market). I even mention
This is one of the best, most informative videos I’ve ever done.
I’m sorry you took this as an attack on “99% of creatives.” This is completely incorrect.
Be blessed.
Thank you everyone for all the well wishes! I’m still recovering, mostly on bed rest because I was in the hospital 4 times in a month, and I was an inpatient for 3 of those visits.
Working on Inglorious Rex inks on a portable easel in bed. Hope to be back on camera soon!
The box that my Gaara statue came in. 2 of me will fit comfortably inside with the box sealed.
Should have sent me a life-sized Gaara in there instead.
