John Haynes Series Update & Checklist
Readers have been wanting more John Haynes, and he’s gonna featured
in THREE Stories this year!
First, John will be featured in May’s upcoming Isis: EscapeFrom Transylvania! And this vampire story is action packed! Reading like a
movie, Escape From Transylvania builds on the Vampire story arc from Bride ofDracula and Night of the Vampires, and it puts a fresh take on vampire lore!
This is one YOU CANNOT MISS!
And the first John Haynes solo story is coming in June!
John Haynes: A Conversation with Death is going to be the
teaser story that sets up the John Haynes series. Designed to be like a #0
issue of a comic, it reintroduces readers to John Haynes dark world and
establishes his character transformation arc for the first storyline.
And to get readers to give the John Haynes series a try, A
Conversation With Death will be 99 cents for the summer on e-readers!
In addition to Escape From Translyvania, and A Conversation
With Death, John will also be appearing in E’steem: The Sands of Time. This
Fantasy Flashback set in Ancient Egypt not only takes us back to E’steem’s
past, but it also shows us part of John’s past in High school!
Right now I’m working on the next John Haynes story, Dark
Succubus. And I’m hoping to have it finished by the end of the summer. If you
want to get caught up on John’s story you can pick up The Man Who Rules theWorld or the book that started it all, The Temptation of John Haynes! And pick up John's first appearance in the Isis series Isis: Wrath of the Cybergoddess!

John Haynes: E’steem: The Sands of Time Color Model
Good news! Thanks to Paypal donations from YouTube Viewers and
Patreon supporters, E’steem: The Sands of Time is coming to paperback and
e-reader!
With the first E’steem Fantasy flashback book headed on a
fast track for publication, I had to do a color model for John Haynes. John’s
look is taken from clothes I wore in the late 80s. The jean jacket, mock neck
and military surplus BDU-style Cargo pants and white sneakers are what I used
to wear to school back in the day.
Teen John’s colors are an inversion of the traditional John
Haynes outfit colors. So instead of the green shirt and black jeans, he’s
wearing green pants and a black shirt. I thought the color inversion would pop
playing off E’steem’s white and gold Egyptian garb. With teen John I wanted to
show that he was still trying to find his style and kind of foreshadow what was
to come regarding who he would become in the future.
I’m hoping to get E’steem: The Sands Of Time out sooner
rather than later, and readers are in for a TREAT! This one has action,
adventure, and romance in Ancient Egypt! If you like movies with Disney
Princesses, you’ll definitely love this one!

TITANS STARFIRE LOOKS LIKE A HOOKER…WTF?
I just saw a picture of Starfire on CW’s New Teen Titans
show. And I haven’t seen anything that looked this bad since Halle Berry’s
Catwoman Costume.
Damn. Just Damn.
What so sad about Teen Titans is Raven looks like Raven.
Beast Boy looks like Beast Boy. Robin looks like Robin. But Starfire? In
between that dollar store wig from the Halloween store and that 99-cent store
dress, she looks like the hooker version Barney the Purple Dinosaur turning
tricks on Times Square.
I don’t know who this is, but it’s NOT Starfire. Koriand’r
is supposed to be Cute. Sexy. Fun and vivacious. Model GOREGOUS. The girl who
can make a guy’s dick hard just by walking down the street.
When I look at this picture I don’t get an erection. All I
want to do is vomit.
Seriously, what’s the budget for this Teen Titans show? Food
Stamps? I’ve seen Cosplays that BLOW THE DOORS off this hot mess.
I don’t see anything resembling the character Marv Wolfman
and George Perez created back in the 1980s. This actress looks like she has
none of Kory’s sweetness, bubbliness, personality or heart. She doesn’t look
anything like the girl who could make Dick Grayson fall in love with her.
Yeah, DC and WB want to add diversity to The Teen Titans by
giving us a Black Starfire. But it’s clear they didn’t want to make her more
attractive than the White women on the show. So they trotted out the fattest,
darkest, ugliest woman they could find and found ways to make her look even
more hideous. And then say this is a positive step in the name of diversity.
FUCK YOU WARNER BROTHERS. FUCK YOU.
This Black Starfire is an INSULT TO BLACK PEOPLE. A passive
aggressive slap in the face to Black people by White Supremacists at WB. The
very image of her isn’t true to the source material, it just breathes brand new
life into old stereotypes about Black women. Instead of casting the sexiest
Black woman you could find to play one of DC’s sexiest women, WB cast a
mammysaurus. And the reason why the White Supremacists at DC and WB did this
was to make a Black woman not appear to be sexually attractive to the audience.
Because Heaven
forbid an iconic character like Dick Grayson can’t be shown being attracted to
a sexy Black woman. No, we can’t have the #3 Character at DC Comics getting a
boner at the sight of a beautiful sexy Black woman.
Because in WB’s attempt to promote so-called Diversity they
just practice old-fashioned racism. Just like Rose Tico in Star Wars, we have a
character of color in a fantasy series. But the studio does everything to make
her as unattractive as possible in comparison to her White counterparts.
What’s sad about this diversity hire is that it compromises
the New Teen Titans story. Dick and Kory’s relationship is one of the essential
parts of the New Teen Titans history. And there’s no way I can see Dick Grayson
wanting to have a relationship with a hungry hungry hippo like this. The whole
point of Dick and Kory’s relationship was that Kory appeared to be WAY out of
Dick’s league. But in spite of their differences, they found love for each
other And it was Kory’s love for Dick that helped him get through the tough
times as he was transitioning from Batman’s sidekick to leading The Titans and
becoming his own man, Nightwing.
If WB is making compromises with Starfire’s look, then it’s
clear to me they’re gonna make compromises with their love story. And if they
make a compromise with Dick and Kory’s story then I know I can’t expect much
from this Teen Titans show. After seeing this Starfire, I’m seeing another disastrous
DC Comics adaptation from Warner Brothers.

JOHN DIGGLE’S N***ER WAKE UP CALL
On a recent episode of Arrow John Diggle got his Nigger wake
up call.
After Diggle asked to take back the hood of Green Arrow,
Oliver told him that the hood was a part of him and he couldn’t let him be The
Green Arrow again. Because the Green Arrow allowed him to be the best version
of himself.
But John Diggle couldn’t be the best version of himself as
Green Arrow. He couldn’t be the equal of a White man like Oilver Queen.
Now after Oliver told him this, John was wondering what had
happened to make him feel so angry. To think that something was wrong. And as
he went to discuss this with his White wife, Shawn knew what was going wrong
with John Diggle.
John Diggle just had a Nigger Moment.
And after having his Nigger Moment, he was realizing how
little value he had to his Slave Master Oliver Queen.
Don’t you just love how Good White Liberal Oliver Queen has
been shown for the Paternalistic RACIST and HYPOCRITE he truly is?
Earlier in the sixth season of Arrow, John Diggle was
offered the hood of the Green Arrow by Oliver Queen. And being faithful butler
to Oliver Queen for so many years, John Diggle thought he was going to finally
be seen as the equal to Oliver. Be his own man. Be his own kind of hero. Lead
Team Arrow.
That’s not something a Black man can do wearing a White
man’s costume. Or on a Berlanti Productions show. Just as soon as John Diggle
put on the costume, he wound up with an arm injury. And having to take drugs to
deal with it. Then as he dealt with his injury, Oilver put the costume on and
went on missions again. After Diggle got better, and Oliver continued to deal
with his problems as Mayor of Star City and a father, Diggle thought he could
go back to being Green Arrow. And as he was buckdancing and bojangling begging
Boss Queen to put on his hand-me-down Green Arrow Costume again he got his
NIGGER wake up call.
Now I’ve said that Diggle wasn’t qualified to be Green
Arrow. And I stand by that. He doesn’t have the skills with arrows, nor does he
have the motivation to be Green Arrow.
But I can understand his anger. He thought that having that
mantel being passed on to him meant that he was going to be equal to Oliver. That
he would be a leader and not a follower.
But a White man is NEVER going to let a Black man be his
equal. In White Supremacist AmeriKKKa, The White man is Supreme. The Leader. The
Boss. And With Oliver being the leader, John Diggle had to be put back in his
place as Spartan the Butler.
Only John Diggle wasn’t having it this time.
John Diggle’s biggest mistake was believing that he could be
a man on Oliver Queen’s terms. Believing that he could be a hero if a White man
accepted him. Begging to put on a White man’s costume to be a hero on a team a
White man made.
Not seeing how WEAK he was by being a hero on Oliver Queen’s
terms. Diggle spent so many years being Oliver’s BOY he never became his own
MAN. He gave his BEST to someone who didn’t APPRECIATE IT and NEVER would
appreciate it. The best he could ever be on Team Arrow is Oliver’s butler, not
a man on his level.
On that episode of Arrow, John Diggle just finally realized
the emasculated position he was in. Diggle thought after years of being a
faithful servant Oliver Queen would finally let him be the shot caller on Team
Arrow. But a Black man can NEVER call the shots even if a White man gives him
his position of power.
Because he never owned anything
from day one. If a man isn’t putting money on the table for something he has no
say on anything.
A Black man can’t be a hero to his community wearing a White
man’s hand-me-down costume or fighting a White man’s mission. No, in order for
a Black man to be a hero, he has to establish his own mission and set his own
course. What makes a Black man a hero is him being the best version of himself
for himself. Standing up for what he believes in and fighting for the cause
he’s passionate about.
John Diggle got his Nigger wake up call. And I’m hoping many
Blerds and Black comic fans understand the lesson being taught in this episode.
Be the best version of a Black Man for YOU, not the attention and approval of a
White person.
