<p>Non-woke comic book creator Eric July announced that he has raised more than $3.3 million to put out his new comic book, something he called an &#8220;alternative to the mainstream&#8221; and to the social/political push in the genre.</p>
<p>The comic creator tweeted, &#8220;We&#8217;re about to be LIVE over on YouTube! Rippaverse is at $3.3 million plus. August plans and more,&#8221; as he thanked fans for <a href="https://rippaverse.com/product/isom-1-campaign/">their support</a> of his company. The first book comes out this month through his comic company Rippaverse. He said on his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsItuK7Wn1E">YouTube</a> Tuesday that the book is called &#8220;Isom #1&#8221; as he explained that &#8220;Isom&#8221; will be the launching pad for the entire &#8220;universe&#8221; coming out of his company.</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSmFBOLFCLI&amp;t=6s">recent show</a>, July talked about &#8220;creating something alternative to the mainstream,&#8221; as he referenced things like &#8220;race swap,&#8221; and &#8220;gender swap&#8221; issues in comics these days, noting a recent comic book with &#8220;they/them&#8221; characters. It starts at the 1:33 minute mark <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSmFBOLFCLI&amp;t=6s">here</a>.</p>
<p>July said he wrote the 96-page book with &#8220;pencil and ink&#8221; work from comic book artist Cliff Richards. The color work came from colorists <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/superman-colorist-quitting-over-dc-comics-woke-makeover-of-hero-its-a-bunch-of-fing-nonsense">Gabe Eltaeb</a>, who previously worked on the Superman series for DC Comics because he had no interest in woke comics.</p>
<p>&#8220;Working on Isom with Eric has been amazing,&#8221; Eltaeb <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/non-woke-comic-book-hit-readers-rakes-2-million-afraid">said</a>. &#8220;Eric shares my ideals that we don&#8217;t want to be anti-woke and attack people. We want to be non-woke. We just want to give people classic superhero action.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gabe previously <a href="https://boundingintocomics.com/2021/10/19/superman-son-of-kal-el-colorist-gabe-eltaeb-to-exit-dc-comics-over-superman-motto-change-im-tired-of-them-ruining-these-characters/">shared</a> that he was finishing out his contract with DC and leaving because he was &#8220;tired of this s***. I&#8217;m tired of them ruining these characters; they don&#8217;t have a right to do this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What really pissed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world,&#8221; Eltaeb added. &#8220;F*** that it was Truth, Justice, and the American way. My Grandpa almost died in World War II; we don&#8217;t have a right to destroy s*** that people died for to give us. It&#8217;s a bunch of f***ing nonsense.&#8221;</p>

<p>The comic creator previously <a href="https://twitter.com/EricDJuly/status/1547752049231572992?s=20&amp;t=MXHlOgEDr5lQ_D4DImtbwQ">tweeted</a> about the &#8220;meltdown&#8221; happening on Reddit over the money he had raised for his non social-political issues. The picture he used showed a character reacting to a comic book that was &#8220;Not Political!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Leftist comic book &#8216;fans&#8217; on reddit are in full-blown meltdown mode over the success of the Rippaverse,&#8221; July tweeted after he raised more than $1.5 million for his new comic book company. &#8220;These people reveal who they are by making every disingenuous excuse they can come up with, and they STILL won&#8217;t stop us. #rippaverse #isom #WeWillWin #comicbooks.&#8221;</p>
<p>In July, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/non-woke-comic-book-hit-readers-rakes-2-million-afraid">Eric said</a> that what his goal was to &#8220;be a part of the solution instead of griping about the problem, so I had the idea, it made sense financially, and it was the perfect time to do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This American comic book market is still kind of thirsty for this type of material,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They&#8217;ve just been not getting it from the big two,&#8221; (presumably referring to DC and Marvel comics).</p>
