I don't really WANT to get recognized (or at leas it's not necessary.) I just want to write Ultimate Deadpool. I want to be known for other kinds of writing, really.

It's kind of an issue of them not turning over an established character to an unknown writer unfortunantlly. Maybe the rules for ultimate are different since they're non continuitty. I dunno.
Spectacular Sameth:
I didn't think Deadpool was all that well known, you know.
*Lady Disappearing Act *:
in answer to the "how to" some comic books have sample scripts in the back. the last trade paperback of Seven Soldiers of Victory is the most recent example i can think of. there's one in a trade paperback of Sandman too - maybe the one where Death gets introduced? it's generally like a movie script where they describe what's going on in every shot. don't get too detailed though - you don't want to cramp your artist, and you'll have a storyboard of thumbnails anyway.
eviladam:
There's an order too it though. descriptions goes first, then dialouge, then thought baloons and or caption boxes, then as I recall sound effects (SFX) and finally any other text that appears. ala words on a sign, a t shirt ect.
The scripts are broken down by page and pannel. There's no set number of pannels per page, and the best way I've found to detail the layout you want is to include a small numbered dialouge of each page with the panel numbers.
