J-Bolt News

[Gail Simone]

Jo is a nice person, she just, like a few others, got caught up in J-bolt's bullshit. But even back then, she was aware that a lot of his claims were utter horse tripe.

I am hoping for the best for her, whatever is actually going on.

And Shel, I doubt J-bolt could pay even if he wanted to. The guy is flat broke constantly by his own admission.

Gail

[sk716]

Okay, I've had about enough.

Julia, if you want to continue your flow of information, I'm going to have to ask that you do it yourself and not use YABSers as sock-puppets.

You are essentially make other people responsible for these claims being posted on the internet.

The whole idea seems very wrong to me and doesn't go very far at all to validate your claims.

Post it yourself.

That's true and if he hadn't thrown such a screaming tirade the last time he broke it, or been such as ass about my doing the site for free in the first place, I might be a little more sympathetic.

[Sally Sensational]

Okay.

Not going to post any more info from Julia. She'll just have to come back and take care of it herself. I still do believe that there's something to the story, but I agree that the way we're being spoon-fed it is off somehow.

Must say that I'm confused by what I read from J-bolt, himself. First blog post on his new 360 page talks about how Julia shut down his old page; second blog claims "J" (whom we read as Joann) did it.

So who is who?

Feeling a bit easily led right now.

SK716,

You are right. I should have not responded to any of the pm's I recieved and left things alone. I had only requested that the info that I had decided , as well as advised to stop posting publicly be posted. I haven't asked anyone to post anything else. I have passed along the links as I have found them . I will keep tabs on the person because my real name is being used. I have answered everyone who pm'd me question's. There really isn't much more I can say. I also have to respect Kassies privacy. I do understand how most of you feel as far as believing me. Honestly, I really don't expect anyone to. Eventually, alot of this will be public record. I will also add, thank you to everyone who did wish Kassie the best. She is a good person with a big heart. If anyone wants to talk beyond this board in the future you can email me.

Best wishes, Julia

I want to apoligize if you feel led on. I can't nor will I tell every little thing. First & formost I have to respect Kassie. Thanks for advice & concern.

Best wishes Julia

[TCJohnson]

...Especially after his last rant where he blamed you for not fixing it after you fixed it.

Fixed it for you...that will be 10 beers. And none of that American crap.

[Dreadstar]

Fixed it for you...that will be 10 beers. And none of that American crap.

Unless it's the good American crap, that is.

[Cam63]

Fixed it for you...that will be 10 beers. And none of that American crap.

That is quite correct.

*Moves giant squid off the counter and puts ten beers on*

[TomStillwell]

Except unlike Tom Stillwell or anyone who produces work on a steady basis in comics ...Jim Fisher has never done it. He produced one ashcan...and thats it. I mean...I'm just a comics fan who enjoys his monthly books and if I floated the line of bullshit that he does , I'd be ashamed of myself....being honest as possible...since I've produced much less an ashcan...

He really didn't even produce an ashcan. It was a couple pages of horrible story coupled with amateurish art and a fake interview done by a sockpuppet.

Here's a bit of perspective.

I'm an average guy of average ability and average resources. I have no delusions about being super awesome with untold wealth, minions, or corporations at my command. There's nothing I have that Jim Fisher doesn't have access to. In fact, Jim is a halfway decent artist and could be better if we worked at it, and that's not a talent I possess enough to aid me.

Yet in the roughly year and a half since I started posting here at YABS I've written, edited, marketed, and published four comics. Around 100 pages.

How many pages has Fisher made in that time with essentially the same resources? Or in all the time since Gail made the first post in this thread? Or since he first reared his head?

Zero. Nada. Zip.

If I had his skill to draw I'd have published a dozen or more since I started in 2005.

I hate to see wasted potential. But not as much as I hate lazy people who talk about what they are going to do instead of just doing it.

[Ben Morgan]

Okay, I don't feel like reading over 300 pages in this thread, so can someone sum it up for me? Who is this J-Bolt?

[Solaris]

Okay, I don't feel like reading over 300 pages in this thread, so can someone sum it up for me? Who is this J-Bolt?

I'm sorry, but...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Thank you.

Sorry, round these parts that's like asking "Who is Al Capone?" :D

*deep breath*

Okay. Long story incredibly short...

JBolt is a guy who's been promoting himself on the internet (and here) for years as a comic book creator, and movie creaitor, etc., who just *happens* to have all these HUGE projects on the brink of completion, and all these HUGE contacts in comics, Hollywood, etc. yada yada yada... which have all panned out as uber-shams he never admits to.

Basically, he's apparently delusional. Others can fill you in on that far better than I can. He has a Yahoo360 account where he has women calling him "My Lord" and crap like that... all the friends he had that I saw on there were women.

The latest "news" on him is that someone has posted that her friend tested HIV positive, and that JBolt was the source. I won't say more on that because that's under investigation... but in a memorial blog for his father (link's in here somewhere, he talks of moving furniture with a broken back, etc. in it) he mentioned that some woman gave him a "deadly viral disease" in an attempt to kill him, and now he's says he never had HIV.

That's the very short, and very latest, of what's up with JBolt. Others here can tell you far more than I.

[Crowley]

I think it's odd that Googling Julia Penix finds virtually nothing.

I think J-bolt is scum... but I've still yet to see any proof that Julia is a real person or that her claims can be validated.

[Solaris]

Well, maybe it's a faux name, like many of us here use. Like, do you think Jack's real last name is "Flash"?

If it's a faux name and she only uses it here... here's where you'd find it on Google, and that's about it. (If it is a faux name, I *do* wonder what "Penix" references...) :D

EDIT: I would just like to add that I found "Penix" is a real and valid last name, folks. I *knew* it rang some bells with me, but couldn't remember if I'd seen it as a fictional character's last name, or a real last name somewhere. So, yeah, likely that is Julia's surname, and not a made up last name like "Flash". Just wanted to say that. (And, that there's nothing wrong with having a made-up name or last name on here for your user name---I think they're fun! Which is why I have one. :D)

[Crowley]

She claimed it to be her real name... or did I misread it?

[Sabrinaset]

Well, maybe it's a faux name, like many of us here use. Like, do you think Jack's real last name is "Flash"?

Now she tells me! I was in Atlanta last year and couldn't find anyone in the phone book named "Solaris"! :mad:

[Solaris]

Now she tells me! I was in Atlanta last year and couldn't find anyone in the phone book named "Solaris"! :mad:


Next time let me know in advance, and we'll hook up! Silly girl.:p

[Spike-X]

Now she tells me! I was in Atlanta last year and couldn't find anyone in the phone book named "Solaris"! :mad:
Well, duh.

She has an unlisted number!

[Crowley]

I think Julia is really J-bolt.

[Spike-X]

I think now would be a good time for Gail to admit tha truth - that the whole J-Bolt thing is just an April Fool's prank that got way out of hand.

[sk716]

I think Julia is really J-bolt.

I don't. It doesn't fit his MO.

Fisher has had his little groupies on Yahoo 360 who from what I saw on the Group page have been worshiping him and his bad poetry. Which is exactly what he wants. Since he isn't bothering us and we aren't bothering him, everybody is happy.

Fisher wants hype and good "press" not stuff that makes him look even worse than he already is.

So no, I don't think Julia is Fisher's sock puppet. If Julia had come in here singing his praises and condemning all of us to the ninth circle of hell for picking on poor little Bolty, then I'd think it was a sock puppet.

Nope, I think Julia is somebody with a grudge. Her membership in Fishers Yahoo Group since July 2007 lends a little more weight to my suspicions.

And for the record, JuliaPenix's IP doesn't match up with any other IP on CBR.

You will all be pleased to hear he's been promising his groupies a romance novel to be published by Valentine's Day... you know the one we've already celebrated.

Unless J-Bolt has been leading us on for years, this is way to well written too be written by J-bolt. All the words are being properly used and most of the punctuation is correct.

[SUPERECWFAN1]

And its not a mile long paragraph as well. Usually when I see a J-Bolt post I get a mile long paragraph that really doesn;t answer anything.

[Gail Simone]

I share Shel's concerns. But I will say, the idea that J-bolt is some genius hoaxter is no longer a possibility. Everyone who has met him, and this includes some respected retailers and creators, thinks he's exactly what we see over and over, a deluded loonbug.

[Sarah Beach]

Loonbug! What a wonderful word! I'm sooooo going to use it ... somewhere.

[Wingnut]

Well it looks like the plug has been pulled again on J-Bolt's website. GoDaddy has the old "if you're the owner of this site, please call..." message up.

I'm wondering what his excuse will be this time. It was probably that as his business accountant was personally walking down to drop the check in mail at the post office, a UFO came down, scooped him up, and took him to their secret base where he was tortured by the aliens and their evil basher henchmen. Yeah...that's the ticket.

Maybe he's been too wrapped up in his ☼♥Łσr∂ Яє∂ Đrąğσŋ♥☼ personality to allow the J-bolt personality come out and take care of business. Or maybe it's the Jim Dragon personality that is in charge these days. I wonder if they even let the Jim Fisher personality out at all anymore.

I believe at this point Fisher has pretty much dropped the idea of being a big time Comics Publisher with a movie deal. After so many years he's let that delusion go finally.

Someone should buy it.

[Gail Simone]

Heh. If someone did buy it, it would just give him an excuse for his current failure.

"MY MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR WEBSITE WAS STOLEN!"

And yeah, I think the teeny amount of feedback he gets at ☼♥Łσr∂ Яє∂ Đrąğσŋ♥☼ has convinced him that really shitty free verse poetry is the way to go.

yA KNOW its really sad...I mean not many here are huge successful people. I'm not....and I don't see many claiming outragous shit to feel important. I think thats what is sad. J-Bolt felt he had to tell outragous things to try and make himself look successful.

[Gail Simone]

I wouldn't say that not many here are hugely successful at all...

All I'm saying is that in a perfect world, we'd all be watching BOMBSHELL II on blu-ray right now, and J-bolt would be making idiotic comments on the commentary track.

*Puts his hand on Gail's shoulder to comfort her.* There, there. Don't worry, J-Bolt will rise again. After all, why do you think my upcoming comic is called "Revolution of The Mask"?

*Starts singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow*

[MacQuarrie]

I kinda miss J-Bolt. He was a dolt, and as nutty as the floor of the Snickers factory, but he had a certain charm that the current incompetent scam-artist lacks.

For all his failings, he at least always tried to have some tiny shred of truth underlying his grand pronouncements. Like, he didn't announce Samantha Fox as starring in his movie until after he sent her agent an email. And I believe he always did genuinely want to produce a product; when he ripped somebody off, it was mostly through delusion or overreaching. He didn't hire people with full intent to screw them, it just sorta came out that way; he was way out of his depth and too oblivious to know it. And I don't remember him being particularly racist or hate-filled to the extent that our current project is.

Oh well, I hope he's happy in the world of crappy, creepy, neo-pagan-tinged sex poetry.

[Tobias March]

All I'm saying is that in a perfect world, we'd all be watching BOMBSHELL II on blu-ray right now, and J-bolt would be making idiotic comments on the commentary track.

Sigh.

Every time I see this thread title reappear I get a chill up my spine. Weird that.

[Corpsmed]

Boy. I have just spent the last hour reading these pages and I dont know if I should cry, laugh or just shake my head in confusion. I went to HighSchool with J-Bolt , was in the Art Guild with him, and have talked to him in passing over the years. I was looking up his info out of curiosity and stumbled across this site. Well it seem J-Bolt still has the mindset that he is/will be great and the rest of the world doesn't understand him. We went round and round for years on what I thought he should do and what he felt he should do. I told him to try and get hired by a company, get some face time for his art and then work on developing his ideas. He felt he could just start off as a huge company and the world would beat a path to his door. Personally, he is not that bad of a person. I just feel he has no concept of how to bring his dreams to fruition and he wont listen to anyones advice unless it is telling him he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Gad, it is sad to see he has come to this point. He could have done something dfecent with his artwork as he does have some talent ( even though I keep telling him his hands are drawn way to small compared to the rest of his figure..lol) Still I keep hopeing( sp? Its 2 am and I am on Loratab..whats you excuse?) beyond hope he will someday pull his head out of his butt and smell the real world. Till then ...well.....sigh................:confused:

Welcome, and nice to hear from you.

And he finally admitted his real name was Jim Fisher some time back., in case you hadn't read it.

Being self-deluded isn't a crime, but it's irritating, as a professional who takes pride in her job and misses a lot of sleep and funtimes because she's working on her craft and assignments, when these people thing boasting is the same as accomplishment. Jim wanted to be the next Stan Lee, but he didn't want to do a scrap of work to make it happen. Instead of making up fake achievements and lying about his dozens of employees and his many shifts and video surveillance cameras and his Bolt-mobile and all (while he couldn't even pay for groceries and was stuck living with a mother he loathes) , he could have just completed some comics, the way working pros do.

Working at DC or Marvel is not the only, or even the optimal, measure of success. But he had every opportunity to quit bragging about his own bullshit wonderfulness (while all the while showing a complete an appalling ignorance of how comics are actually made and lying NON-STOP), and in all those years he couldn't bother. That is genuinely offensive to the people here who work at this for a living in REALITY, and the people here who have been busting their rear end to make that happen for themselves, as well.

Still, most all of us still wanted to see him get off his ass and succeed. It was never and will never happen with his writing, as he simply lacks even the basic skills and talent in this arena. However, he has some potential as an artist, and many times we tried to help and encourage him, and just like with Rick Olney, he betrayed everyone who tried to help him. So it's hard to say he didn't deserve his fate.

Now he's writing horrid poetry for old women and transvestites and seems happier. Good for him. He kept absolutely none of his promises, none of his bullshit came true, but he was so stubborn and ridiculous that there was no other possible outcome.

I have several letters like yours, from people who tried to talk sense to him and simply were unable to. He's like those people on American Idol who audition even though they have no talent and are CONVINCED that they should be stars and the world owes them that distinction.

I say, do the work and THEN do the boasting.

[Corpsmed]

Thanks for the reply. My friends and I all hoped he would succede despite himself. We all had dreams of becoming famous artist in our own right back in those days...I know of one of us that makes a living doing art, out of 7 of us. I was hoping that he had gained notoriety for the quality of his work ...but alas it seems he is still going on as if he was still in High School. His story has been the same since then. Sorry he had to drag you guys into the Mired Mud Pit that was his dream to conquor the comic empire. But actually he never fancied himself as Stan Lee...he hated him... He fancies himself to be the next Walt Disney..he even told us he was related to him....sigh....oh well. To the guy that bought those posters from him...um I have a signed, hand drawn piece of art by Jim that I can send to him so he can actually get something for his purchase...Its floating around in my storage from our highschool days. I can honestly tell you he did have a employee, sort of, he promised me the job of vice president of his company to come and work for him..provided i gave all rights to my artwork that I developed while in his employ, to him and his company. I told him to call me when he had a office and could pay me the salary i desired...sigh... I coulda been vice-president!......:rolleyes:

[MacQuarrie]

To the guy that bought those posters from him...um I have a signed, hand drawn piece of art by Jim that I can send to him so he can actually get something for his purchase...
That would be me. That's a kind offer, but utterly unnecessary. I knew going into the deal that it was highly unlikely I'd ever see anything for my money. I did it to gain a little leverage with him, basically to put in him in the position of having to listen to me. It didn't work.

But anyway, OMAR took it upon himself to refund my money so I'd shut up about it. If you want to give a drawing to somebody, that's who you want to send it to.

Thanks!

[Corpsmed]

Well if he wants it it is his. Sorry I didnt bother to look back on who it was that bought the posters...A tad bit lazy on my behalf..Thx for the reply.:smile:

Not at all, it's a massive thread and you can't be expected to read all of it. Most of us have even forgotten a lot of the details.

So I'm curious...I do believe he got some sort of PR at a very early age by bullshitting his way around and CLAIMING to be a big publisher, and I think that early pr really ruined him, because he believed it would always be that easy to fool people into believing he had accomplished things.

Were you around when he did whatever PR it is he keeps talking about? I guess he would have been eighteen.

And we know he did attend at least one convention for the vaporware LBC thing. Were you at that?

And finally, he claims he couldn't go anywhere without being swamped by fans (which is so fricking ridiculous I can barely type it without laughing), but when we contacted the big stores in Vegas, one had never heard of him and the other hated his guts. Do you have any idea where he got this notion that he was a huge celebrity in a town that actually HAS huge celebrities?

Have those tragic HIV rumors ever been proven or disproven?

Every time I see this thread title reappear I get a chill up my spine. Weird that.

...or Steph is amusing herself by putting ice cubes down your back again.

I haven't heard anymore about it.
