Hi! I have a good amount of free time right now, so I’ve decided to waste it on something silly work on a sims comic book, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. But before I begin the task of laying out my pages, I’d like thoughts about some stuff:
1. The main character is Nova Bee, who will have a totally non-superhero reason to have an alter ego. Should her totally legit alter ego be Super-Nova or Supernova??
2. Re: paneling. I’m going to do full pages as opposed to different images, like so (pretend to be surprised by this if I ever post it again):
Would it make sense, then, to include the text and dialogue from the panels below for people on mobile or people who can’t view the full pages clearly for whatever reason? I only ask because I think it’d be annoying to have both, but idk.
3. Let’s say--hypothetically--the protagonist of this comic were to acquire super powers. It’s totes okay if it takes a few issues to show up, right? I’m asking for a friend, who’s working on a different comic. ;)
4. I haven’t finished taking pictures for the first issue, but I have the first five issues outlined, and first issue almost completely written. Once I’m done, it’ll probably be about 20-25 pages like the one above, plus a cover. How many pages should I queue a day? I don’t want to blow my wad prematurely.
Thanks for any feedback. I’m doing this 90% because I want to (I’ve been fiddling with making comics in GIMP and it’s fun), but I 10% want this to be readable for at least a handful of folks. (that math checks out, right?)
