This is a thing. A bunch of alt righters got together and crowd sourced a comic that appeals to their tastes since the original comics now have brown people and women who dare not just be sex objects in them.

Alt★Hero is a world not too terribly different than our own. It is a world where the Wehrmacht generals overthrew Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1939, and where the first atomic bomb was dropped on the order of Reichskanzler Jodl on Soviet territory in 1944, leading to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1956. It is a world where Japan attacked Australia instead of Pearl Harbor and China occupies the Korean Peninsula. It is a world of four superpowers, where the European Union rivals the United States of America for wealth and influence, and where China and Russia possess the two most formidable militaries on the planet.

So a world not too different except history went wildly whacky. Oddly the Alt Right decided not to set their story in this world, the one that is supposedly so ruined by SJW's, but instead one with this hugely different timeline. It is almost as if they needed a new reality to set their idols up against the strawmen adversaries of their fever dreams!

So, near as I can tell the premise is that there are superhumans called Homo Sequens who get registered with the UN. And then are used by the UN to bully those that cherish FREEDOM (insert Braveheart GIF here) and no one is more upset than the American military who, I think, end up supporting rebel Homo Sequens to stop crimes the police wont because of PC tyranny.

Here is the launch trailer.



So if you ever wanted a comic book where superheros battle illegal immigrants and ANTIFA instead of villains well....this is for you.

I went to their fundraiser page and was gloriously amused with their donation level descriptions. For example, if you are a $10 donor then this is your level:

This is for those who could not care less about comics, but enjoy tormenting SJWs and would enjoy the privilege of triggering them by being able to say “yeah, I did that.”
We will send you a special digital portrait of Rebel, in her Alt★Hero outfit, blowing a kiss and saying “You’re welcome!” that you can send to people crying about it on social media.

Note: Rebel is a female character who wears daisy dukes and a Confederate flag....blouse? that shows how much boob? ALL THE BOOB KATIE!

Not really all the boob.

I'm not sure this will trigger anyone. Except to think of someone that donates money to the creation of a comicbook just to trigger liberals as pretty sad.

A journey though the comments is kind of funny. Or pitiful. Take your pick.

OK, I'm in! Looking forward to some great stories with some great art, and none of the SJW crap that has made so much of our lives unbearable!
Oh, BTW- you don't really have to put a whole lot of costume on the super-babes... just sayin'. (I remember Modesty Blaise did "the nailer," where she'd flash her boobies, just long enough to immobilize the bad guys & get the drop on them! I'm sure Modesty wouldn't mind some others using that trick!)

Come on Travis, just be triggered. That's the point of this after all.

WHY WON'T YOU BE TRIGGERED?

Also, cartoon boobies.
 
Awww... their own conservative crowd source fund raising site too. Precious. :p


Only about 16 "projects" though. :(
I hope that means they're just very, very new. :confused:
 
If I donate $10.01, will they create me a gun-based superhero, who's catch line is "You just got Triggered"? Winky face italics and all, so you know it's clever.

Yes, a big hello from Darwin, Australia. Quite a number of ships at the bottom of the harbour here a victim of the same carrier group that did the job on Pearl. This little town was subjected to 64 different raids.

These alt right mob are a bunch of arrogant ignoramuses.

What's their attitude toward homosexuals?

Years ago, there was a story in Incredible Hulk (during a period when he was intelligent) in which his former sidekick Jim Wilson was revealed to have AIDS, and eventually died. The reader response was overwhelmingly positive, except for one letter, which Marvel decided to publish, while stating that it was their only negative letter.
It had comments such as:
"I can understand wanting to do a story about AIDS, but you should have featured an innocent victim who caught it from a blood transfusion, not one of the scum who started the disease."
"It's ridiculous that the Comics Code prohibits nudity and the occasional swear word, but is fine with the sympathetic portrayal of homosexuals."
"I can't believe you would ruin a macho hero like the Hulk by having him be sympathetic to homosexuals."
"I hope the next time you choose to have homosexuals appear in one of your comics, the hero hates them for the scum they are, and hopefully kills them by the end of the issue."

Maybe this guy will finally have a comic he can enjoy.

I don't want to give them my money, but I do kinda want to read this just for laughs. It's like looking through Conservapedia (is that still around?) or something - on the one hand it's terrible, but it's also strangely fascinating.

It certainly does to me. Could be sort of like a regional dialect of the internet? I hear and use that kind of language all the time. Generally speaking, it means something like "this is an actual non-fake thing, can you believe it?" although like most language it can carry some different meanings depending on context and exact wording.

"This is some real object or occurrence which is possibly worthy of your attention, which some other people care deeply about, but I am either neutral, derisive, or wryly dismissive of, depending on context."

I enjoy Jack Chick comics, so I'll probably enjoy this. It reminds me of a libertarian space comic from a few years ago about an anarchocapitalist colony on an asteroid. I forget the name, but the story was like The Moon is a Harsh Mistress without the subtlety and well-rounded characters. Everyone who wasn't an anarchist (or didn't immediately become one and join them) was a snarling moron, without exception.

[ETA] Escape from Terra, I think it was called.

That was it. The storyline was done so ham-handedly that anyone who wasn't already sympathetic to the libertarian POV wouldn't be when they were done (if indeed they could finish). The same people had done a pro-atheist view of the Odyssey - where essentially Odysseus calls out the gods because reasons.

Somehow I see "Alt Hero" as probably being more poorly handled. About the only thing I expect to be semi well done is Rebel's most common superpower, because, hey, it's not going to be bound by any kind of SJW- comic book stuff here...
