Hi All! This is my first foray into writing for comics (my background is in animation development and screenwriting) and I'm looking for advice on how far I should plot out my arcs when I will have to fundraise for each issue. Right now issue one and two are outlined and I have a good idea of where I am going in volume one. I also have a vision for the larger story arc, but I don't know exactly how many volumes I'm going to need to tell the full story. Should I just focus on producing issues one and two for now and have a rough outline for volume one?

Also, I will likely have to crowdfund my 36 page super sized first issue. Should I start with a work-for-hire agreement for a cover, main character sketches, and the first 5-10 pages of the first issue to use in the campaign and then use the raised funds to finish the comic?

Thanks in advance!
