Almost exactly a year ago, Tapas Media – host of Tapastic, a platform for up and coming webcomics – attempted to add the ‘right of first refusal’ clause to their terms of service. Now a year later, there’s more controversy about a new project of theirs; the Tapas Creator Incubator Program.
More correctly, The Tapas Creator Incubator Program started its first round last year, opening for submissions in August 2017. This is just the second round, but after last year’s issues, it’s worth taking a closer look at the Incubator Program, and what it means for young creators.
What Is The Tapas Creator Incubator Program?
Essentially, the Creator Incubator Program is a chance to make stories for Tapas while getting paid by them.
From the official FAQ – “Being selected for this program means entering a co-production agreement with us and working closely with our editorial team to create new and exciting original stories. During the program, creators will be compensated for their work. Not only are we providing creators with full editorial resources, but we will also work closely with you to develop your project for opportunities like print publishing or TV/online series deals if you so desire.”
Translated, this means that comic creators would get their ideas funded, edited and pointed in the right direction. They would also be given a path towards adapting ideas that might otherwise stay webcomics for TV, print collections, and other forms of media.
In many ways, this sounds like a dream come true. Who doesn’t want the types of resources a company like Tapas can offer?
Why is the Incubator Program Bad News?
However, Melanie Gillman on Twitter is raising the alarm.
THIS is the real boogeyman of the agreement, though. In practice, “joint ownership” means “really, they own it” — you won’t be able to do anything with your own stories without their permission and involvement. This is NOT a normal or fair publishing practice. pic.twitter.com/MG558CvXBi
The issue they’re pointing out is that 50/50 or joint ownership, in practice, usually favors the corporation with the money to enforce their claim – not the small-time, often penniless creators attracted to these types of programs.
Gillman’s assertion is backed up by this article that discusses the rise and fall of TokyoPop. Once a major name in manga, Tokyopop lured young artists into 50/50 shared rights agreements. Rikki Simons, co-creator of TokyoPop series ShutterBox, said:
With that historical legacy, it certainly feels like Tapas is pulling a fast one on creators who won’t know any better.
Simons also mentions that he and artist Tavisha Wolfgarth-Simons received harassment for speaking out against the practice. This puts the next part of the story into a decidedly worse light…
The Creator Incubator Program: The Flip Side
Several people are unimpressed with Gillman’s take, including creator Ratique, who wrote a reply on their Patreon critiquing and dispelling each of what they regard as ‘misinformation’.
Ratique’s input is definitely an important perspective to keep when critiquing Tapas’s program. However, it’s equally important to take note of what doesn’t get said.
Gillman’s original thread takes the FAQ apart bit by bit, and apart from the 50/50 IP sharing, also critiques the amount of work required:
First off, they’re looking for 600+ panel full color comics to be completed in 6-9 months. Script to final art. That’s about a 120+ page graphic novel, for comparison. (Also, the fact that they use the word “season” is a red flag — they’re looking for tv series, not comics.) pic.twitter.com/nfPaqQf4cx
Last one, and they tried to bury this information: they’re gonna give you no time to negotiate this contract. They want you to start working the same month you get accepted. This isn’t time to hire a lawyer/agent to read over it and help you fight for better terms. pic.twitter.com/fYuvdohgC0
Ratique’s reply, on the other hand, focuses almost exclusively on the 50/50 intellectual property issue. Much of the pushback to the criticism of Tapas boils down to ‘just negotiate better.’
no, we got a premium comic offer from them, negotiated a sweetheart contract for the author… and they are super supportive of the artists, this person is just a moron that doesn't understand how to negotiate a contract or how publishing for money/budget works
There’s nothing wrong, inherently, with expecting artists to negotiate for their own rights. But when programs aimed at inexperienced artists ask for things that they should not be asking for, they’re preying on a straightforward fact.
Negotiation is not an inherent skill. High schools barely teach students how to balance checkbooks, let alone how to ask for a higher salary. If you’re a lawyer or a banker or a computer scientist, you’ll pick up the skills along the way.
However, artists always have to deal with assertions that their art is too expensive. That they’re overcharging. That they should work for ‘exposure.’ Webcomics portals like Tapas understand this better than most people, or they should. It’s ridiculous to expect inexperienced artists to ‘already know’ that they should be negotiating out of bad terms.
So as much as creators like Ratique and others want to defend a company that treats them well, unfortunately not every artist gets equal treatment. The other important detail is that no other artists under contract with Tapas in the Incubator Program have spoken up concerning unfair treatment… but a year into the program, it’s hard to say. It’s hard to imagine that any artist will risk their employment over what everybody else says are “minor gripes.” But in the eventuality of Tapas going under – then the bubble will burst.
If you’re willing to take the risk on programs like Tapas, then all the more power to you. But I don’t blame the creators who aren’t.
In true The Expanse style, this week’s episode featured several different subplots. Although it wasn’t always clear where each story-line was going leading up to this episode, by the end of “It Reaches Out” just about everything folded together. The only item left on the back burner was Amos’s secret identity as a former Baltimore mob boss. Last week’s introduction of Melba and the annoyingly sexy documentary film crew paid off, and viewers also got another look at the dear departed Detective Miller. And even though Holden doesn’t, I like Miller’s hat.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – Melba, Skull Crusher
Melba awakes on the floor of the Seung Un next to the battered corpse of Ren. She shows some remorse at having brutally murdered a man who was nothing but kind to her, and then she gets to the grisly work of hiding his body. A suitable compartment is found, but Melba can’t manage the job of moving the large man inside. Taking another hit of whatever it is she took last episode, she easily shoves him most of the way in. Then, she crushes his skull with her bare hand.
The skull crushing was a bit offside for me. I guess the claim is that his head wouldn’t fit in the compartment but, if so, that wasn’t made clear. Instead, it just looked like Melba performed her act of skull compression in a mad rage. Either way, the point is made: Melba is a mite unstable when she’s on whatever futuristic upper it is she’s on. After cleaning up the bloody aftermath of her crime, she finishes connecting the bomb and heads back to her transport.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – “Watch your doors and corners.”
Holden isn’t looking so good. He appears exhausted, and his recurring visions of the late Detective Miller aren’t helping matters. On a trip to the coffee machine, which is again operational, the dead detective appears again. Unfortunately, though Miller has a lot to say, none of it makes much sense. In an effort to understand what’s going on, Holden asks Miller if he’s trying to talk to him, but instead of a response from Miller he hears the calming voice of the Rocinante’s documentary filmmaker Monica.
She demands that Holden not keep anything from her and somewhat ham-handedly declares that she is an expert in cognitive psychology. Holden agrees to be honest and slowly backs away from the rather intense filmmaker.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – Old-time Religion
Back aboard the UNN Thomas Prince, we see Pastor Anna Volovodov sitting at a table with other religious luminaries. A middle-aged man waxes philosophical about the ring, and a woman to Volovodov’s right mentions that her family funds the man’s megachurches that now pepper the African continent. Leaving this bit of clumsy exposition, though, Anna gets up when she notices that Melba, also aboard, seems sad. In truth, Melba is plagued by guilt over the murder and subsequent skull-crushing she did.
The pastor/doctor meets Melba in the hall and asks her if there’s anything she needs. Melba considers for a moment but puts on a tough face, says no, and walks away.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – Aboard the War Church
Manéo’s actions in last week’s episode have planetary governments scrambling. Because Manéo was a belter, the governments of Earth and Mars are both concerned that Manéo was acting under orders from the OPA. This is of particular concern because Manéo’s wild ride apparently activated the ring.
Aboard the OPAS Behemoth, Ashford, Drummer, and Naomi discuss the optics of a rockhopper activating the ring. They predict that if anything bad happens then Earth and Mars will blame the belt. If anything good happens, though, Earth and Mars will be there to take credit and start a war over it. And, in the spirit of ratcheting things up, Anderson Dawes and Fred Johnson have apparently informed Secretary-General Avasarala that any attempt to turn the Behemoth back from the ring would result in retaliation.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – Eye in the sky, hands on the pry…bar
Amos finds Cohen, the blind cameraman, snooping around the command deck. Amos reprimands him, but Cohen deflects by saying that he takes walks when he can’t sleep. As Amos escorts the flirtatious cameraman off the deck, we see that he has hidden a pry bar in the collar of his shirt.
Holden has retired to the med-bay and is repeatedly scanning himself for signs of a stroke and any traces of the protomolecule. After several negative scans, Miller reappears, but a sleep-deprived Holden can’t figure out what the Miller is talking about. Miller keeps mentioning his days as a detective on Eros. He is specifically concerned with an unlicensed brothel and how a rookie didn’t understand how to clear rooms.
Holden lashes out, screaming at the dead detective to make sense, and Amos shows up just in time to witness the outburst. A concerned Amos asks if Holden is alright, and Holden ensures him that he will let Amos know if anything is wrong. After Amos leaves, Holden views footage of his “conversation” with Miller but finds that the footage shows that he was apparently talking to himself.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – “Man! I’m handsome when declaring war!”
Holden meets with Monica and realizes that the first time he saw Miller coincides with the moment Manéo crashed into the ring. We also see Cohen putting his recently acquired pry bar to use. He removes a silicon chip and replaces it with one he has on him. He then replaces the compartment cover and continues being a weasel.
We also see Melba aboard the Thomas Prince activating the device she stowed away aboard the Seung Un. The Seung Un explodes and, much to Holden’s surprise, a transmission bearing his likeness appears and claims responsibility for the explosion. The transmission states that the ring belongs to the belters and demands that Earth and Mars withdraw or suffer the consequences.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – “Hey, I used to date that guy!”
Back aboard the Behemoth, Ashford pressures Drummer to fire on the Rocinante while Naomi refuses to believe that Holden is to blame. She warns Drummer that she’s falling into a political trap, but Diogo and another guard restrain her. Drummer eventually decides to fire, but the Mormon ship malfunctions as the torpedo leaves its bay.
Things are tense on the Rocinante. Holden denies that he’s responsible for the transmission, but Amos wonders. After all, Holden’s mental health is in pretty serious doubt because of all the yelling at no one stuff. Holden demands time alone to think, and a reluctant Amos allows it.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – “Go into a room too fast, kid, the room eats you.”
Sequestered in the airlock, Holden tries to reach Miller. Luckily, Miller appears at the last possible second, looking damn good in that hat. In a previous appearance to Holden, Miller described himself as a tool that investigates and called Holden a tool that moves. In that vein, Holden pleads with Miller saying that he can’t take him anywhere without a ship. Miller mumbles his typically obscure phrase, “Go into a room too fast, kid, the room eats you.”
Holden realizes that this must be in reference to the speed of his ship. He orders Alex to outrun the Belter torpedo until they get closer to the ring, at which point they should slow almost to a stop. The Martian pilot acquiesces, and after withstanding some very heavy G-force, Holden regains consciousness and finds his ship intact. A shot showing the exterior of the Rocinante shows that the torpedo and ship are frozen in place.
It’s hard to say whether time has slowed or some force from the ring has stopped the torpedo’s impact, but either way the ship and crew are safe…for now.
The Expanse Season 3, Episode 8: “It Reaches Out” – Final Thoughts
This was an exciting episode with lots going on. Serious kudos to the writers who manage to weave so many seemingly different story-lines together so that they actually pay off. One wonders who is in league with whom, but one thing seems clear: Melba and Cohen are working for the same faction.
Based on the awkward exposition aboard the Thomas Prince, though, I’m led to believe that the same concern funding these megachurches in Africa is also funding Melba and the sneaky film crew’s efforts.
It was great to see Tom Jane acting his hat off in this episode. I’ve been missing him this past season, and the ultra-seriousness of Steven Strait’s character worked well with Tom Jane’s existential flippancy. You know a show is good when you can’t wait for the next episode, and The Expanse continually leaves you wanting more.
Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale followed up their cliffhanger episode last week with an exceptionally sad one this week. “After” started off with a funeral that turned out to be for 31 handmaids, victims of Ofglen’s suicide bombing. And although the bombing also killed 25 commanders, including top dog Commander Pryce, Cmdr. Waterford survived the attack, and is on his way to recovery. Unfortunately, the security of the nation can’t wait for Fred to get better, so Cmdr. Cushing takes over Pryce’s job.
In Canada, Moira sits in a government archive room searching through countless photos for evidence that her fiancée Odette is indeed dead. And after getting a good look at the colonies, Emily and Janine are back among their fellow handmaids.
This was a great episode for building the relationship between June and Serena, especially the final scene which shows not only that the pen is mightier than the bomb but also that Serena is the real Waterford to look out for.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2, Episode 7: “After” – Collateral Damage
Although Ofglen undoubtedly meant for things to turn out differently, her attack killed six more handmaids than it did commanders. After the funeral, survivors discuss the attack on their way home, and June realizes she never knew Ofglen’s real name.
Security is in full swing after the attack. Eyes have been rooting out traitors and hanging their corpses outside of their homes — jeez, the Sons of Jacob really have a flair for the dramatic! Cmdr. Waterford is slowly recovering from his ordeal, but with him on the bench and Pryce dead everything falls to Cmdr. Cushing. Cushing tightens security heavily. Security checkpoints are increased, and random shootings of civilians are on the rise.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2, Episode 7: “After” – Bad News for Nick
Paying a visit to June at the Waterfords’ house, Cushing demands to know who helped June try to escape to Canada. She sticks with her story, she was taken against her will and never saw her captors. Cushing doesn’t believe her, though, and one gets the sense that June will break before he does.
A candid discussion between Serena and June, though, shows that Serena is willing to help. She has no love for Cushing, and wants to protect her family from exposure. Calling Serena by her first name, June suggests that Cushing would have everyone in the Waterford house killed rather than allow a baby to be raised in a house with a traitor.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2, Episode 7: “After” – Lots of Paperwork
Using her husband’s position, with Nick’s help, Serena is able to manufacture evidence against Cmdr. Cushing. When he attempts to pay a second visit to the Waterfords, he gets greeted with an arrest warrant, and a black van drives him away. As he gets loaded in, June watches from a second-story window with a grin on her face.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2, Episode 7: “After” – Odette’s Demise
This episode provided a lot of fleshing out of Moira’s character, who up until now seemed more like an extension of June. Wanting to know one way or the other if her fiancée is dead, Moira gains access to government archives pertaining to unknown victims of the war with Gilead. Scanning hundreds of books of photos of unidentified victims, Moira eventually comes across a picture of her fiancée.
Flashbacks show Moira carrying a baby to term and giving it up for adoption. On top of getting more opportunities to see how close June and Moira are, viewers also meet Odette, the doctor who helped Moira bring the baby to term and eventually fell in love with her.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2, Episode 7: “After” – “My name is whaaat? My name is who? My name is June, not Offred.”
One of my favourite scenes in this episode was the one that showed June, Janine, and Emily’s reunion at the market. This reunion is only possible because of Ofglen’s attack. Because 31 handmaids died, Emily and Janine were taken from the colonies to fill in for their unfortunate sisters.
Emily is visibly shaken after her ordeal that saw her lose one of her favourite parts of her anatomy and then get sent to the colonies to shovel irradiated dirt. After Cushing’s arrest, though, June is all confidence. She tells Emily her name, apologizing for not doing so sooner. June then stops another handmaid and tells her her name. Before long, each handmaid in the market is telling the other handmaids her name. The only indication that this could backfire is a worried look from Nick’s teen wife Eden.
The Handmaid’s Tale Season 2, Episode 7: “After” – “What? No Scrabble?”
My favourite scene, though, occurs later that night. Serena calls June into Fred’s office and presents her with a stack of documents. In a surprise move, rather than slapping or strangling June, Serena asks her to edit the documents, and with June’s click of a pen, reminiscent of Ofglen’s detonator at the end of “First Blood,” one wonders what Serena may have brought down upon herself.
In Royal City #11 from Image Comics, creator Jeff Lemire begins the concluding arc to his masterful series as all buried truths begin to emerge for the Pike family.
Royal City #11
“We All Float On” Part 1
Written and Drawn by Jeff Lemire
Published by: Image Comics
A brand-new storyline of Jeff Lemire’s acclaimed series kicks off as the Pike family rallies around their newest surprise member, but Richie sets off on a dark path that can only end in tragedy.
Writing
With just four issues left, Royal City#11 begins what is the last arc of the titles run. Lemire has crafted a story where the characters just seem very vivid and real. The are some very real moments in this issue that carry a lot of emotional weight but we know the Pike family so well by now that even the quiet between them speaks volumes.
A lot of dominoes are set up too, like an excellent new reveal about the past that also serves as an introduction to a new family member and Richie’s rash decision at the end is a hell of a fucking cliffhanger.
Art
The art here is sublime. Lemire has this ability to use delicate line work to deliver hard-hitting emotion. He also does these subtle tricks, like a borderless image amidst panels to convey a quick flashback or memory or having the pages look like notebook paper, that have a very cinematic and fluid effect on the reader.
There is also a great amount of atmosphere created by the colors and backgrounds. Lemire is without a doubt one of the mediums best artists and this title has been a great outlet for it since its inception.
The letterings by Steve Wands is as good as anything else in the book. Narration box and word balloon placement are perfect, and everything reads clean and crisp.
Conclusion
Royal City is beautiful. It’s a perfect example of powerful sequential art and you should really be fucking reading it.
No matter what happens, Star Wars will live on. While Solo: A Star Wars Story may mark the low point for the Disney-owned era of the franchise (and, arguably, one of the saga’s least inspired entries), Lucasfilm is showing no signs of slowing down development on its “Star Wars stories.” Of course, news recently broke that Logan filmmaker James Mangold will write and direct the upcoming Boba Fett spinoff film, and rumors persist that fellow fan favorite Obi-Wan Kenobi is making a return, hopefully with Ewan McGregor back in the role. Naturally, with a universe as vast as the “galaxy far, far away,” the possibilities are endless. After all, everything from a Lando Calrissian prequel to a crime epic centering on Jabba the Hutt has been in the cards, but here are a few other ideas that Lucasfilm needs to consider.
For all its flaws, one of the best aspects of the prequel trilogy is seeing the Jedi operate as the peace-keeping force they were intended to be. This mission statement is never better captured in George Lucas’ films than by Master Yoda himself. So the idea of seeing a younger Yoda lead a team of elite Jedi on a dangerous secret mission — perhaps paying off those Seven Samurai-style rumors from a few years back — has us intrigued. Lucas always intended for the Jedi to be his space opera take on the Japanese warriors, and the concept would give the saga the space to explore a heretofore untapped time period.
5. Ahsoka Tano: A Star Wars Story
Thanks to Solo, it’s become clear that the “Star Wars stories” are slowly warming up to the idea of more closely integrating the films with the ancillary canon, namely the animated series, novels and comics. Ahsoka Tano is by far one of the most popular characters from those projects, especially the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, who has yet to be brought to life on the big screen. Rosario Dawson — who is already a fixture on the Marvel Netflix series — has even expressed interest in playing the role. Perhaps Lucasfilm will one day soon give Anakin Skywalker’s former apprentice her due.
4. Darth Vader and the Empire’s early years
We know what you’re thinking. “Didn’t we already get an entire trilogy of films delving into Vader’s backstory?” Fair enough. But we’re not talking about bringing Jake Lloyd and/or Hayden Christensen back for the role. Instead, we want more of the Vader that viewers only caught a brief glimpse of at the end of Rogue One. In between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Vader spends nearly two decades helping Emperor Palpatine eliminate those who might oppose the Empire and strengthening its hold on the galaxy. While some of his exploits are being explored in comics, surely there’s a tale fit for the big screen.
3. Maul: A Star Wars Story
Darth Maul and his double-bladed lightsaber have easily remained the highlights of The Phantom Menace. However, the Zabrak warrior’s story has been greatly expanded on in both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, both of which are canon with the films. In the nearly two decades since he first appeared onscreen, the character’s popularity has only grown, and for a multitude of reasons, the time may finally have arrived for him to headline his own anthology film, one which recontextualizes the other films and acknowledges just how far he’s come since his initial defeat by a young Kenobi.
2. The rise of Darth Sidious
In the original trilogy, Emperor Palpatine is shrouded in mystery, but the prequels shed a lot of light on how he rose to the leader of the Galactic Empire. That being said, a film which further develops his past and his presumed Sith apprenticeship under Darth Plagueis would bring the dark side to the big screen like never before. Consider how the Harry Potter stories have explored Voldemort’s past, and you’ll have an idea of how a Palpatine film could work. Bonus points if the project is able to bring Ian McDiarmid back as the original trilogy-era Palpatine for a framing device.
1. Knights of the Old Republic
Fans have been saying it for years, but allow us to keep beating the drum for why a Knights of the Old Republic film, inspired by the beloved video game, should happen. Many critics of the recent spinoff films to date have lamented their necessity to constantly refer back to previous films rather than confidently mining new material. Set thousands of years before the Empire’s inception, such a film would be able to introduce legions of new Jedi and Sith while exploring the evolution of both groups of Force users. There’s even enough material here for a whole new trilogy, one which may or may not already be in the works.
