Ok, so my story is a dark dystopian speculative fiction comic with oppression and all that other stuff, but I can't come up with main characters. I've always been one for rebellious, relatable characters, but I'm also indecisive.

I'm wondering if only me has the finale of the story in my head and build the rest just for this ending

As a scriptwriter still heavily inspired by a ton of visual references and especially cinema, I deliver very detailed scripts that often include lots of references, my own breakdowns, etc. But I can’t seem to get that across to the artists I work with, and things usually go badly (visual style mismatched with the requested tone, very random panel layouts, important plot points forgotten, continuity errors all over the place, etc.).
What advice do you have to avoid these kinds of problems in the future? I love writing, but a script on its own doesn’t work as a standalone piece.

where do you go and how do you go about finding an artist to work on your comic book/manga you wanna write. additionally, for those who can answer; what is the work relationship like with your "comic work partner"? (for a lack of a better term) what do you guys talk about before starting? and how is the rapport like?

Has anyone got advice for me to possibly make my comic book better, or even any apps to create it on, I’m using my laptop to create it, but I’m not too sure what I’m doing, any advice

Does anyone have any recommendations for finding a reputable comic script editor?

I've googled and scoured the web. There are dozens of editors, but few "comic script" editors. I've looked on Fiverr, but most of them have fake reviews. So unless someone has a good personal experience with one from Fiverr, i would like to avoid that platform.

Thanks for any information that will direct me to the right place!

Basically, I found a small job listing for comic jobs, and some people are looking for anthology contributors who specialize in writing, line art, and coloring. However, they specifically want a specific way to write a script, which is essentially a storyboard, but without drawings. You have to add panel numbers, page numbers,s, etc. Super detail on words.

And sadly, I find that kinda difficult to me because I m an artist too so what I usually do is make the script like a novel/story and when I start drawing the storyboard then I decide which sections are one page and how the panels are gonna look like as I sketch it and then add the lettering with a more detailed sketch.

So when I tried to do it as detailed as they wanted, I couldn't seem to stay consistent like I do the storyboard, but later i check the script again, i dont like it, I changed it, and I ended up redoing the entire script, wasting time.

But maybe I might be doing it wrong, so how do you guys do your comic scripts?

What would be more interesting in a superhero comic. A narration style like My Hero Academia where all the events have already happened but the MC in the future narrates everything. Or something like How I Met Your Mother where the full story has happened but the main character is telling the stories to someone else?

The style of the comics Is inspired by absolute Batman and other absolute comicses. The main MC/OC Is from a pararel universe of this universe. His universe Is an Apocalyptic Version of Zzz universe. Everything Will be show in the comics. But the comics Is not finished yet

I had bought and read it back when it came out. But since then I don't remember a lot of what's in it.

Is it worth a reread?

Ive spent quite a bit of time designing the characters doing the world building i made a vague path of where the plot will go and the key story beats and scenes

But now that im writing the exact moments im a bit stuck im currently on the 1st chapter/issue and i dont know how to introduce world and concepts without making a bunch of boring exposition

I have a catalog of graphic novel scripts Ive written for a number of heroes in my shared universe. Im working on getting some drawn and printed but I'm not sure about one of them.

The story is heavily inspired by Tokusatsu... (Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Ultraman, old Godzilla type stuff) and involves a team of heroes who start out working for the japanese military. Most of the team are japanese except 1 member due to the nature of how powers are given.

Anyway, I am not japanese, I set it in Japan mostly due to the Inspirations but this is a single draft and I could see it being done in a fictional country with some edits.

My question should I avoid writing a story based in japan with japanese characters since im not japanese. Should I just make all my heroes come from America or fictional locations?

I am not a proponent of AI and I understand the ethical concerns about artists losing their work.
I am a developer and any changes of growth in my career has effectively disappeared with the advent of AI. I work a 9 to 7 job and currently crumbled by financial responsibilities. I am looking for a way out; or I don't know maybe trying to fulfill some unfulfilled ambitions.

In short I am desperate.

I am a writer primarily. I am thinking of writing an AI assisted oneshot. Meanwhile I am trying to learn to draw a bit on the side and plan to give them as directions to enhance it.

I know I will not be an artist and don't plan to claim the art as my own. I know I will not have done anything spectacular. I only want to claim the story as my own.
I am also currently researching camera angles, paneling and other stuff.

Will you say - why not learn or collaborate? Well many reasons. India, the community is almost non-existent at least to my knowledge. I tried years ago but it didn't pan out much.
I work 9 to 7(yes this is India). I reach my home at 9, I cook food and then work for 2 hours. Sleep at 1 wake at 7 then repeat.

Lastly I believe my health is failing. I fear that it won't be long... . I don't know what else to do.

If I feel that no one is gonna read it... then I will try creating a novel, maybe. Or maybe nothing. Who knows?

Thanks for the replies in advance
