We've had some whoppers on here. :banana:

That's true, but I can't think of another one with as many layers as this onion has.  :cloud9:

And I doubt if we've had the last layer.

From beginning to end, this is the craziest comic industry story I can think of, ever.  

:banana:

Now if only Dad&Son would show up and steal this lady away from Crain! :headbang:

I think it will be more like Crain the slimeball, hooks up with another woman he meets at a con, gets caught, and the ball keeps rolling.

Well, the objective truth is that these two were married for nearly 20 years and she left him for a guy he thought was a very close friend. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Having gone through a divorce last year, I can say from experience that talking about it is a great first step.  I can't say I agree with Black Flag guy's approach so far - airing it all out to a bunch of strangers on the internet and also posting the bluster about wanting to fight Crain isn't indicative of a healthy mindset, but it's an understandable early reaction.  Hopefully the passage of time will help him pivot to seeking counsel with the right people and put him in a better place mentally.  Vengeance is never free.

Yeah, having gone through a divorce myself, I can say that when kids are involved, it's always hard even when both sides mutually agree to break up - which is obviously a much different situation than what happened here.

But man, I definitely do not think broadcasting live with a footlong snot rope hanging off his face was a good look.  

I just hope that the next layer of this onion does not involve BF dude shooting himself or someone else.  :eek:

I don't know the Black Flag owner from a stranger on the street or about his relationship with the people that were / are in his life.
I don't agree with his business practices.

What I do know is that video was a 'cry for help'.

Males account for 75% of total suicides.
In the US, one male commits suicide every 15 minutes.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/talking-about-men/202109/the-silent-crisis-male-suicide

This isn't something often discussed in this space, but I do think we should realize that it happens.
To say that what is happening to him is karma is one opinion, but it diminishes the overall conversation that he needs help.

P.S.
Check on your friends...

This 100%. It is a serious problem in our society. It's OK to cry. It's OK to be emotional. It's not being a p*ssy. It's being a human being. While I don't agree with this mans business practices I sure hope he has a support system to help him get through something like this. Very sad situation no matter how you look at it.

Considering that he admitted on video that he held a gun to Crain, I would not be at all surprised if this whole situation leads to someone dead or in jail.

I just went through this a year ago, it s@cks big time.  You go through many different levels of emotions.  You are hurt, sad, angry, mad and a thousand more emotions.  Then the money part adds a total different layer to it.  When you planned on retiring this year and now that may not ever happen.  I feel for him, but I sure as heck would never do a video of it.

Kind of reminds me of the story I heard going around the boards when I first joined. I never knew the specifics, but it had something to do with a board member stealing another board member's wife.

Dadandson was the board name I think

I’m thinking some kind of dust up at the next CGC Crain signing :insane:

We can only hope he sees Craine and claims Klingon Right of Vengeance.

 Challenges Crain to an official duel by slapping him across the face with his own remarked acetate book

He needs to draw 9.9 and 10.0 on each of his fists before the fight.
