(Chuck Dixon, the creator of Bane and Frank Fosco, a talented artist who has worked for DC and Marvel).\u00a0 The effort will involve several separate imprints.\u00a0 One imprint is called Alt-Hero and is explicitly aimed at combatting the politically correct conventions of modern SJW converged Marvel Comics with in-your-face right-wing heroes.\u00a0 In addition, there is an imprint called Avalon which will be an entirely original work of Chuck Dixon chronicling the super heroes in his imagined city Avalon.\u00a0 Dixon has said that Vox has given him free rein to create the Avalon universe according to his own creative vision.\u00a0 And that is why I am very excited about this venture.<\/p>\n<p>As I have stated previously, I\u2019m in no way, shape or form a comic book enthusiast.\u00a0 But I recognize how employing talented creators to work without the disabling effects of politically motivated orthodoxies has the potential of attracting the customers who have walked away from comics because of these very problems.\u00a0 That is exactly what needs to be tried.\u00a0 If it succeeds even on a limited basis it can act as a template for other areas of the culture that are currently strangulating under leftist control.\u00a0 Vox\u2019s Castalia House publishing business produces fiction and non-fiction that is unaffected by politically correct ideology.\u00a0 I\u2019ve enjoyed a number of these books.\u00a0 And even though I don\u2019t follow comics I did enjoy the Bane character in the third Batman movie (Dark Knight Rising).\u00a0 He was wonderfully evil and an amazing agent of chaos.\u00a0 I have to assume that Mr. Dixon has some amusing things to share in this Avalon story line so I intend to try it out when it becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>My larger point is that Vox is demonstrating what needs to be done.\u00a0 Look at the niches the converged industries provide for a right-wing alternative and give it a try.\u00a0 The internet is the great leveler of all things entrepreneurial.\u00a0 If you can imagine a thing that has a market you can market it there.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll add Alt-Hero and Avalon to my list of <a href=\"https:\/\/orionscoldfire.com\/index.php\/2017\/11\/15\/update-on-who-we-are-and-a-listing-of-right-wing-businesses\/\">Right-Wing Businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vox is an enormously polarizing figure.\u00a0 But he is a trailblazer for anyone on the right who wants to be part of the solution to the vacuum that is all that\u2019s left of right-wing cultural institutions.\u00a0 Don\u2019t like left wing news, then blog.\u00a0 Don\u2019t like the left-wing NYT Best Seller\u2019s List, then patronize right wing publishers and authors.\u00a0 Don\u2019t want your kids to have to read about or go see a movie about gay Spiderman or transsexual Thor, then maybe buy a few of Vox\u2019s comics for them instead.\u00a0 To be consistent, I guess I\u2019ll have to put my money where my mouth is.\u00a0 Comic books?\u00a0 Who woulda thunk it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vox Day is an intriguing figure.\u00a0 He is literally putting his money where his mouth is.\u00a0 His right-wing entrepreneurial activities include (among other things) commercial<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[241,5,237,4,242,1],"tags":[503,45,504,550,607,107,14],"class_list":["post-2073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","category-current-events","category-reviews","category-sff","category-sff-book-reviews","category-uncategorized","tag-alt-hero","tag-comic-book","tag-comics","tag-directory-of-right-wing-businesses","tag-right-wing-business","tag-sjws","tag-vox-day"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
