Beyond that, anything goes. <\/p>\n<p>I thought a bit about what story to tell with what characters. I decided that making something totally new would lower my chances of making a good comic: good stories take lots of time to work out the details. I settled on my favorite character at the moment: Keeley Walker and her superheroic storyline. The setting is a few issues beyond where I&#8217;m at right now. It&#8217;s kind of like fast forwarding the action a little to get to some cooler stuff I&#8217;ve had in mind. <\/p>\n<p>I had to think a lot about what specifically will occur in the comic. 8 pages isn&#8217;t a lot for introducing the character, having something interesting happen, and providing some type of closure. I wrote out the first draft of the script, and now it&#8217;s time to work on that some more and sketch out the thumbnails. Progress updates later, I hope. Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DC comics is having a comics contest through their new Zuda Comics label: the prizes are various amounts of cash. Sign me up!
