Also worth noting "here" is... EVS posting he's received a copy, not the backers.

Also I took a photo with the nearest standard-size comic book I had on hand (an old Rock N Roll Comics Ice-T bio comic, which I assure you is standard comic book size).

Maybe EVS has enormous hands? Or this is ashcan sized.

(Also for reference sake, I am relatively tall and have relatively large hands, so if EVS's mitts are clutching a full size comic there he's in Andre the Giant territory)

I'm leaning towards "a little of both" - pretty big hands compared to a smaller-than-average comic.

Could this mean it was... it was... IGG money he held back to have ten pound lobster dinners!? Surely he did not skimp on the Cyberhoney Bloodfrog and used all of the money on it!

According to EVS part of the delay was getting - wait for it - chromium covers! Clearly what was needed to save comics was a 90's gimmick.

A big part of Comicsgate, before EVS started with all his Cyberfrog grifts, was how much they hated "gimmicks" and late books. Lo and behold, those concerns seemed to have disappeared.

Rob got tired of himself and Todd McFarlane being collectively referred to as "The Idiot and The rear end in a top hat" so he decided to become singularly known as The Idiot and The rear end in a top hat

Some speculation I've seen is since Major X was considered a success Rob's back to thinking he's a big deal again and ready to do another Levi's ad.

the one thing I remember about McFarlane is the Comics Journal Image Retrospective article where they asked him point blank if he thought Spawn was any good and he flatly replied, after a moment of thought, “no”

edit: just looked this up and he is actually asked if his comics are well written, and he says a lot more after the “no” but I like my inaccurate version better http://www.tcj.com/thats-the-spice-of-life-bud-the-todd-mcfarlane-interview/

I saw him at Emerald City about 2 years back and he likes to talk. A lot. He comes across as a bit of a salesman who always has a "great story" to tell. That being said, seeing him do an interview with Stan Lee was definitely a highlight.

I always got the impression that McFarlane was basically a twelve-year-old boy in a man’s body. Not necessarily malicious, but with a complete lack of self-awareness. He just unabashedly likes things that are “badass” and “edgy”.

Was there a specific thing they were attacking him for, or is it just that his name is Ahmed and not like Jones or Smith.
