I'm working on a comic!
A shonen high martial arts comic. It was originally planned to be a web comic, but my other author and arist sorta, poofed on me, so now I'm writing it, and going to be sending if off to various indy comic publishers.
For those who dont know what a shonen high mart arts comic, is, DBZ is probably the most prolific known example I can point to, and pull from.
The story is about Kyle, Zak and Rush primarily, and the affects of hero'ing has on them.
For Kyle, it defeats his own cynicism, and makes him take responsibility for not only his own action, and own to his potential.
For Rush, it embitters him towards everyone and makes him paranoid and spiteful toward the world.
They do this, while they fight off an alien invasion, a coup to take over the world, and a demon that nearly kills everyone.
It ends with one of the three main characters dying at the hands of another one.
-Overall, I'm outlining completely, before I start writing out the scripts.
Here is my overview outline,

Hey Wiggles, lovely post, but I think you should pull the website to your outline. Just a little too much intellectual content there? Mickey is really cautious about this and I tend to always lean on whatever side he takes. Better to be more cautious that feel like an a** later...
Best wishes on your writing. I love the image!

Very cute illustration! He looks kind of the way I always envision Nobby Nobbs of Discworld. :)

So Liz, love your cover.
How does it feel to know that when a reader goes to Amazon.com to books and types in "Crooks beh" and your book autofills? That's gotta be a thrill. But no reviews yet? Well early days. Everyone support a friend, buy it, and then fricking write up a review for her?!?!?
I am.
Hugs Liz. I would have blatantly cut and pasted the wonderful first paragraph but not sure it was really, uhm, legal? LOL. Meg

Not terribly no.
The Hero Saga outline, is 1839 words long, compared to 1889 overview outline linked above. The more detailed outlines, are page by page goals, and contain way more notes. Thats also where I am trying to leave issues an appropriate length in page number.
