So unfortunately our plans for Project Defy and MW Xtra have essentially fallen through for a number of reasons, but we're looking to publish all of the stories from them on a daily basis on our various platforms such as DA, Comic Versus, Wattpad, and WritersCafe.
Some thoughts on the Maus, Kynseed controversies
(TW: Sexual assault, the Holocaust) Thumbnail image from Maus, by Art Spiegelman Hello, everyone. It's been a while since we've done a journal here on DA. That's due to a lot of things going on behind the scenes, as well as, y'know--every awful thing going on in the world at large. Today, I wanted to talk about some things lately that have been causes of concern personally, and among the team at our studio. You've probably already heard about how the seminal independent comic and biography/semi-autobiography Maus by Art Spiegelman was banned from Tennessee public schools in McCinn county due to its "crude language" and like two or three panels of nudity. If you are familiar with Maus--as you should be if you're a fan of comics, or art in general--this should be EXTREMELY TERRIFYING, because Maus is one of the most important works depicting the horrors of the Holocaust. Maus showed how even those who'd "survived" the Holocaust (like Art's father, Vladek Spiegelman, who is the primary
Idiot threatens to sue us cuz they wouldn't read.
Hello, all. It's been a while. A lot of things have been going on--such is the way of the twin hellyears that are 2020 and 2021--but we're still plugging away in the background. We've got some cool things to share soon enough, but first, there's something we need to address. Remember how a good while ago, we had to cut some guy off because they were a parasitic loser who ignored everything that we are as a studio for literal years before deciding to aggressively harass me about it? Yeah, so they decided to wait NINE MONTHS to send us a cease & desist email threatening to sue us. For what? Well, that's a fun story. See, back when I booted this nerd (December of last year, for those keeping tabs), I told this clout-chaser to read through the wiki for anything they wanted removed. After all, I cannot tell what they do and do not want to be publicly available there. They decided NOT TO (because they're a lazy, inattentive git who leeched off free work from our artists for nothing), and
What Is, and Is Not, MW?
Alright, so, let me say this to anyone reading: MW is not a DeviantArt page compiling a bunch of art, it is a creator-centric publisher of comics from various labels (such as We Are Legion and Jettison Zone). For whatever reason, some folks do not seem to understand this by seeing the whole spiel about us being a studio in our bio, so I'll try to be as crystal clear as possible. We publish comics, prose, and other works of art. If we have an agreement with someone to post their works here, the understanding is that we also will be publishing the comics featuring the characters or worlds involved at some point, or will be partnered with those creators (and likely publishing previews of their comics in our own). We are not a social media page that you go to to share your characters--though there is nothing wrong with that inherently, it is not what we do, and has never been. I know that this reads, so far, as passive aggressive at best and genuinely hostile or acrimonious at worst. We
We Are Legion.
It's been a while since we gave one of our biweekly updates. Lots of good stuff to share. Our big announcement at the start of this month was the official launch of our premier superhero line, We Are Legion. Previously known as MW Central, we felt the need for something new, something unique instead. With our official launch has come an explosion of art, and there is a flurry of announcements we'll be running over the next month. We've also launched a blog, dramatically overhauled our wiki, and have generally been improving things where we can. Once again, we are returning to our biweekly schedule for posts, Wednesdays and Fridays. Any new journal entries will be reposted to our blog and Discord server, so you don't have to ferret around for info on the goings on of our studio. We'll be posting about three pieces of art/short stories here on DeviantArt per week for a few weeks. That should keep things around here nice and fresh. Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy what we're
