The End Times was NOT an overnight success. Looks are deceiving

I've been attempting to drawing comics since I was 7 years old, in elementary school, if not even earlier.

I wrote a Journal devoted to almost nothing but documenting my admiration for, and desire to draw comic books and manga from 2000 – 2017 and beyond, a 5,000 page manifesto of my creative process, and how I was devoting all of my resources and power to drawing and writing my own comics 80% of that 5,000 pages was devoted to comic book planning and contemplation, planning how I was making and effort to get artwork done, repeatedly, for almost 2 decades. Even though my art was a bit crude from time to time, I still moved forward with drawing comics. Then, in 2013, when I finally got published and DID in fact make it onto the Kindle Manga bestseller list, I got reviews from people who thought I was as thoughtless in my approach as the teenagers and little kids posting shitty webcomics who were also underestimating my abilities. Instead of hearing any praise of my labor intensive and almost 2 decade long approach to my comics production process, the opposite thing happened. People assumed I didn't put any time or effort into my comics production process, and not only did rip-off get-rich-quick-online artist toss out a bunch of thoughtlessly rushed pail imitations of end times, I got 1-star comic reviews from people who don't even READ comic books, know-it-all dickheads with comments like this:

 but this just seems like someone was bored at lunch, quickly drew some stuff and thought, hey, I wonder if I can make this into a book. With the caveat that I don't read a lot of magna and some who are more immersed in that genre may find some redeeming qualities, this just simply looks like lazy work.”

Kind of like you're LAZY ASSED MOTHERFUCKING REVIEW! RIGHT YOU PRETENTIOUS LITTLE DOUCHEBAG PRICK! Maybe you should learn to SPELL "Magna" correctly before you fucking review it, ASSHOLE

THIS HORSE..SHIT is the thanks I get for devoting 18 years of my life to creating innovative comics.
