- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Yeah, Hansi left Demons & Wizards because Jon Schaffer was an insurrection loser. Good on him for leaving.
This is the one that hurts me the most. Iced Earth was one of my BIG jams during highschool. Demons and Wizards is probably why I got I to guitar. Hearing about his involvement on the 6th was rough.
I still listen to their stuff from time to time. Some of it has some actually good messages, and almost all of it is just good music. Really have to separate the art from the artist sometimes. I will never see them live, can't buy their merch, and typically find less-legitimate sources for the music, when I really want to listen, so at least I'm not supporting them.
Used to love Iced Earth's concept album retelling the early years of superhero Spawn, can't stand to listen to them now knowing that terrorist was a major part of it. Some people can separate the art and artist, or as a matter of degree able to look past some things but not others, but that's one I personally can't look past
It's hard to, for sure. I did love that album, and horror show lol. But yeah, it's impossible to support the Schaffer, for sure, but some of the music is just... Worth existing in the world still. /Shrug
