About the author
Ethan Van Sciver
424 books69 followersVan Sciver first caught the comic world's eye with his irreverent indie title CYBERFROG and stints on NEW X-MEN and THE FLASH: IRON HEIGHTS, but it was the landmark GREEN LANTERN: REBIRTH mini-series with writer Geoff Johns that put him permanently at the top of fans' list.
No longer working for DC, in 2018 Van Sciver announced that he would instead produce his own comics, beginning with a crowdfunded comic entitled CYBERFROG: BLOODHONEY featuring his early character CyberFrog, for which he raised over $1,000,000 on the crowdfunding site Indiegogo.

So, you've just recaptured your original property and held a massively successful Indiegogo campaign for your character, and you realize there's a market for your crappy 25-year-old comics. Can you say "cash grab"? Apart from actually calling it "Cash Grab" (which is taken), what's a guy to do?
Well, you offer two books for a cheap (for crowdfunded) price. Get Eric Weathers to clean up the lettering (without removing the errors). And you have chromium covers and the best paper stock for the pages. Throw in some collateral like stickers, paper-craft frogs and trading cards. And then you have Kyle Ritter work his magic to turn your highly competent (but not your current master-level) artwork into a joy to behold.
Then you leave everything else the same: The grammatical errors, the charmingly obnoxious 19-year-old take-over-the-world-attitude, the weird mix of hipster irony with utter sincerity, breaking-the-fourth-wall, and the resulting mélange makes your average off-the-spinner-rack comic book look like the half-hearted crap it is.
I'm reminded of the amazing things can happen when talented people actually care as I look over the wreckage of the comic industry, currently full of people who don't care at all and wouldn't have the talent to do anything if they did.
It's not "great," I guess. It is very brash, very cocky, and occasionally cringeworthy. Like, if you ever saw the HBO "Spawn" series with Todd MacFarlane's introductions or Stephen King's commercials for his own disaster-piece "Maximum Overdrive", there's a little of that kind of confusing-your-own-considerable-talent-with-your-personal-presence.
But, man, it's fun. And man, EVS could draw even 25 years ago. And man, Kyle Ritter's a damned genius. Check it out.

A nice glimpse backwards at the early days of Cyber Frog, and how EVS wrote him in the 90s.

It was just really boring, cyberfrog is just the same thing over and over. You’ve read one once you’ve read them all
