Galaxy Newsbrief 121313: I Want To Believe

* There are a lot of what I call "toxic cretins" within the culture of comics. There's a certain combination of entitlement, deflection, self-loathing, crazy-high self-esteem, an unwillingness to accept responsibility, and outright rage that seem to be common to these people; I've been targeted by a few of them over the years, and have come to realize the warning signs usually show themselves pretty early. Tony Isabella has written a fairly chilling document of his personal interaction with some of these people. Trust your instincts, folks.
