Comic book theory
I have decided to write my own comic book series so a little
research was needed to help me prepare for my journey, there are a lot of
similarities between the books and webpages I have looked at mainly death and
destruction in the origin story for example spidermans uncle ben was killed
supermans planet blew up and of course batmans parents were killed.
These deaths started their stories using powers and gadgets
to seek justice they have their own code of conduct which is basically do not
kill of course these vary between the hundreds of comic book characters such as
the punisher who has no problem with killing bad guys, his wife and son were
killed so you can see a theme coming along.
Of course every hero has a villain or several and comic book
legend stan lee has often said the villians can be more fun to write about than
the hero sometimes these characters have a dark history of abuse or they are
just plain power hungry this also varies between between villians sometimes
they just have an obsession with destroying the hero.
Sometimes the heroes from different books team up together
to beat a common foe for example secret wars a marvel story also you have the
more famous groups such as the avengers and justice league and also the xmen.
Although these are basic fundamentals of comic book lore I have
come up with a gameplan for my own comic which I thought I would share with you
all I would like your opinions
Step one
Introduce one hero at a time and a villain as well start my
world off slowly before adding new characters.
Step two
Come up with a bigger story involving new a bigger plot
Step three
A character that ties it all together I have two characters
that can do this one is a normal police detective who stumbles across this
secret world plus an android who watches and in some cases creates some heroes
These are simple steps which are basic my only problem is
which of my characters I should use first so again thanks for checking out my
blog and thanks for your support
I think you need a villain first to create the need for a hero.
ReplyDeletesounds interesting i may try that
ReplyDeleteI don't think you really need to worry about where to start, just start, you can always move things around during the rewrite and edits. Will you be eventually be using me for this.
