Trivia

Documenting over 6 years of the controversial Comicsgate movement.

The first 3 parts of this documentary were released on the Alazmat Films YouTube channel. The 4th part was added to the combined 3 parts, with new material inserted throughout (including a new opening segment) and some scenes trimmed or removed for time and content.

The documentary premiered on Youtube on March 31st, 2025, on the eve of the one year anniversary of comic book artist Ed Piskor's suicide. The documentary dedicated a segment to the Piskor suicide, and showed some of the tweets by comicsgaters calling for a brigade on Piskor's social media, and also included video of Ethan van Sciver calling Piskor a pedophile since the days of his passing, despite his accuser, Molly Dwyer, saying he wasn't a pedophile.

On December 31st, 2019, Bleeding Cool named their top 100 Power list of comics. Ethan Van Sciver's fan group, Warcampaign, was number 88 on that list. The article states:

"WarCampaign (New Entry) Comicsgate still remains a cause celebre online, a still impressive exercise in virtue signalling to fund comic books outside of the comics industry, but this virtue was put to the test as cracks grew, prominent figures turned against each other, as purity tests from the Warcampaign account, hashtag and ironic hashtag #blamewarcampaign as to whether members were or anti-progressive enough. And saw abuse previously directed at mainstream creators, many of whom have restricted their social media as a result, turned inwards."
