Based on a true story
Solicitation material has started leaking out on the web, so I can finally tell folks that I've written an 8-pg story for the EC revival title CATACOMB OF TORMENT. The story is being illustrated by Lukas Ketner and will be in issue # 2 published in August by Oni Press. Lukas Ketner has also drawn a cover that will be released in two variants. The Archive Edition variant is by Patricia Martin (image above) and there's another swell Jay Stephens homage cover in the mix (a nod to Al Feldstein's Shock Suspenstories # 9 cover, for the story "Carrion Death" written by Feldstein and William Gaines and illustrated by Reed Crandall).
Below is the Oni solicitation info for the issue, with all the variant covers and rigamarole that comes with these things these days. I guess you can pre-order it now at shops? Either way, it would be great if folks could support the series in August. Thanks in advance.

Alright, I’m waiting to post the first issue of Miss Cosmic (waiting for final character designs for two characters and a cover maybe) and I’ve discovered the writing itch is too strong.
So here’s a couple ideas that y’all can vote on with a description/Synopsis for each:
Lex and Lara: Lex has come to accept that good days will become bad days eventually. Usually that happens when a PR scandal occurs or when Superman decides to break something belonging to LexCorp. Tonight though, it happened with a phone call from the Metropolis County Sheriff’s Office, telling him that an ex he hasn’t seen in 7 years got into an accident with her now 6 and a half year old daughter. With the mother dead and all signs pointing to Lex as the father, Lex has to either readjust his entire life for a child he didn’t know he had, or risk letting the only family he has left be put in the foster system.
Untitled Daisy Project 1: Daisy Dansen had always looked down on the idea of producing art for the one percent of society, but bills had to be paid. So against all sense she had, Daisy took one of her favorite pieces she’d done of Ariadne being abandoned on the island of Naxos to a gallery event, only to find an old childhood friend, Lex Luthor, had grown handsomely along with his bank account. Lex offers not only to buy the painting, but to ease some of Daisy’s burdens… for a price of course.
Untitled Daisy Project 2: A messy breakup, being disowned, losing both job and apartment, and now a positive pregnancy test. How could Daisy’s week get worse? Her ancient pickup breaking down in the middle of a storm in bumfuck Kansas of course! With nowhere to go, Daisy thought she might as well give up, but the farmers that lived in the farm Daisy broke down in front of had a habit of taking in strays.
Ivory: Who doesn’t love another batkid? When Batman responds to an explosion outside of Gotham and finds a terrified child that can only speak ancient Latin in the middle of the rubble, Batman does what he does best, take her in. This short side comic series sets up a future arch in Miss Cosmic while explaining where Ivory Wayne, Lara Luthor’s best friend and badass punk, came from.
What do I work on next?
Lex and Lara
Untitled Daisy Project 1
Untitled Daisy Project 2
Ivory
All of them!
None of them :/ just start working on the next issue of the main series.

Hi I'm a artist wanting to make a comic however I am not great at writing or story plotting and I was hoping if there was any tips you have for a very beginner in making comics. Only comic's I have are the IDW series of sonic the hedgehog witch is the first three and so far I've only read half of the first one
Hey there!
Before making your comic, having the full story and knowing how it's going to end is super important. You don't want to start your comic, be halfway through with the art, and realize you missed a crucial plot hole (while this can be fixed with dialogue, it may be crappy).
When plotting, this is what I like to do, so it may not be for everyone. When I have my story idea, it's important to develop your main character(s) first and know their wants and needs. Connect it to your story idea and make an outline. I like to use the three act story structure for this. The outline mostly consists of bullet points.
When planning my characters and outline, I highly recommend Sarra Cannon's YouTube Channel, Heart Breathings. She has a whole playlist on how to plot your novel and series. I'll link the playlists at the end.
After making an outline, I write out my entire story, novel style. I then layout the thumbnails of the pages as I organize the story into a script.
Pinterest also has a lot of nice pins for story prompts and tips. Also, check out your local library or bookstore and get some books on creative writing or making comics. I like creating writing books more because they focus on characters and plot more, while books abt making comics focuses more on the visual aspect.
Make sure to branch out and read other comics. There are graphic memoirs like Smile by Raina Telegemeier and El Deafo by Cece Bell; superhero comics like Marvel and DC, manga, and even indie comics.
That's all I have for now. If you ever need any help, feel free to message me or send another ask. Thank you!!
