They know the difference between free speech and hate speech, and use the latter while claiming to defend the former.
The amount of their followers who are so quickly whipped up to violence means that stuff like this can be so easily diminished by shouting Freezepeach is how they gain a foothold.

When in doubt, look at Mignola's work.
Often the pages have perfect dynamics; they open in the first panel, come closest to the reader/intensify in the middle, and close-out in the last panel.
He controls the page, it doesn't control him.

As a comic luddite, I'm yet to see a comic that looks as good digital as it does on paper. With the vibrancy that jumps off the page to smack you in the face, this is pretty damn close.
To celebrate the launch of Killtopia: Phantoms next month, digital editions of our first story arc are now just £1 each on our store.
Print editions are also discounted for a limited time. It's the best time to dive into our world of Neo Tokyo. Don't miss out!

Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court!
A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest.
A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.
