Building a Comic

Here's the idea. I'm making a comic. It's going to be available online, maybe print if I manage to stumble into it, but so far it's solely going to be offered through digital distribution. I have a website for it, which is currently going through construction as I try and put some form of tangible preview up. You can view it here if you so desire, get the basic idea of the universe I want to make, but right now it's pretty bare. The quick and simple goes thus: A psychiatric hospital in a super hero universe actually manages to reform their wards. The universe expands from there.

Anyway, the point of this blog. I'm stumbling in the dark here, so I figured I'd bring you along for the ride. While I'm figuring things out and making my way forward with this project I'll keep updating this blog.

Right now the plan is to get some actual content on the website itself, namely characters and prologue stories that consist of semi-self contained stories, to help get a better view of the world and the characters you're going to be reading about.

The story is pretty much settled, I just need to write the script. I have a few prologue stories written, one that's half drawn (You can see a page at the website, under Preview). I recently finished a comic book class that filled in quite a few gaps in my knowledge, and moving forward I plan to start a Kickstarter to fill in the gaps in my funding. After a few prologue stories are out there, of course. Have to let people know what they're paying for.

So, as I stumble in the dark, enjoy. I'll laugh, I'll cry, I'll curse, presumably. At the end of it you'll have watched me drag something kicking and screaming into existence. Or fail miserably, whichever works.
