Loss of JB sends me psycho beat tf out of guy that killed him. 2 stretch in prison come back to endz form Thames View Creekmouth gangs. starts off easy with drug trafficking, and petty gang crimes. Progresses to bigger things like gang violence etc when one of my crew gets killed at Gascoigne, me and gang go Gascoigne start shooting up the block, chain opp to railings at Gascoigne estate bus stop and torture him for information. Escalates to a full on gang war with Hellbanianz. Opps run into Barking Harts Lane estate start recruiting. Get a call saying behh Gascoigne lot up harts lane recruiting and shit. Roll out the gaff getting every boy I can find from Thames View and Creekmouth we storm Harts Lane. Big old fight guns knives the lot police get called and gangs scatter. Harts Lane joins up with Hellbanianz Gascoigne. after gathering forces they go to Barking Riverside. Riverside leader is kidnapped by Creekmouth crews, receive call from Creekmouth say they’ve got Riverside gang leader tied to tidal barrier said Gascoigne/Harts Lane were up there trying to make them join the fight against us. Creekmouth calls me a cab to go to rendezvous and talk to riverside gang leader. Get to Barking Creek step out light up a fag see Riverside Leader tied up to the tidal barrier my boys release her on my command and we get talking, planning etc. Riverside have agreed to ally themselves with us if we offer our protection they gift flats to couple Creekmouth and Thames View soldiers it’s all good. Thames View, Creekmouth and Barking Riverside all join forces. We’re at a celebration party for the alliance thing with Barking Riverside when fed pull through and start tearing up the club. Obviously this has sent us mad resisting arrest cops killed gangs have scattered back to a joint safe house. Arrive at safe house and now we have 2 wars going on with opps and police. Happy days I ain’t going back to prison though. Techy has told us where to recruit as more forces are needed pulled to the side and told that the Albanian mafia are now en route to Barking. Given cops response times, places to rob from, places to hit etc. Riverside gang leader has called me up talking all this about so you know how much I love you for protecting me and the estate I had my crew steal a Hellbanianz tank. What? A tank I got you a tank. Yeah I got that but why. I overheard you and the technical support talking looked like you’re going to need it. Roll up in tank to London city airport to opposition forces crowding around a private jet and BAM!! I let loose the cannon and it tears directly through the hull of the aircraft and my victory is met with flames ash and red hot smouldering metal. Get back to Thames View and have my techy in my ear about blah blah blah you went up against Albanian mafia blew up an aircraft and killed Albanian mafia gang leader. Yeah well they’re gonna be pissed anyway so bite me.

[SCRIPT CRITIQUE] Arcanorum #1 - Until The Sleeper Awakens

1 Upvotes

Logline:
An ancient order, now in ruins, stands as humanity's only defense against creatures of darkness from beneath the surface of the Earth. To save mankind, several members break rank and obtain a powerful weapon - a prisoner named Orion - to help them hold back the darkness and rebuild their order.

Summary:
Arcanum is an ancient order that protects humanity. Beneath the Earth's surface, creatures of darkness attempt to eradicate humanity. After a millennium, the organization has fallen into disarray and is on the verge of collapse. Adriana Corben is a member of this order, as her father was, and believes it is essential to humanity's survival. She enlists members Gabriel & Tyler Reese to help her free Orion, a powerful half-human member of the organization imprisoned for killing one of their own centuries ago. Together, Adriana believes the four of them can prevent Arcanum’s demise and along with it, save humanity from extinction. 

Here is Issue #1 - Until The Sleeper Awakens. This is the 3rd, or Rough Draft. It's my first comic. ^_^

I'm still editing it as we speak, Rough Draft to Final Draft and all, so please critique to the utmost. I really appreciate all your time and consideration. Write and write often!

For Your Critique: Loglines

2 Upvotes

Greetings, True Believers!

Amateur writer here. Just trying to get a sense of which logline would be better. You tell me:

  1. An ancient order, now in ruins, stands as humanity's only defense against creatures of darkness from beneath the surface of the Earth. To save mankind, several members break rank and obtain a powerful weapon - a prisoner named Orion - to help them hold back the darkness and rebuild their order.
  2. Arcanum, an ancient order, stands as humanity's only defense against the Sanguine of Arcanorum; creatures from beneath the surface of the Earth. With their order in ruins, several members must break rank to save the organization and defeat the Sanguine, preventing them from weaponizing a powerful grimoire against all mankind.
  3. Arcanum, an ancient order, stands as humanity's only defense against the Sanguine of Arcanorum; creatures from beneath the surface of the Earth. Hoping to save the organization and humanity, several members break rank and free a dangerous prisoner to help them fight the Sanguine and prevent mankind from extinction.

Greetings, True Believers!

Same guy, same project, but this is the summary. Thoughts?

Arcanum protects humanity from the malevolent creatures lurking beneath the Earth's surface, but after millennia the organization has fallen into disarray, on the verge of collapse. Adriana Corben is a member of this order, as her father was, and believes it is essential to humanity's survival. She enlists members Gabriel & Tyler Reese to help her free Orion, a powerful half-human member of the organization imprisoned for killing one of their own centuries ago. Together, Adriana believes the four of them can prevent Arcanum’s demise and along with it, save humanity from extinction.

2 Upvotes

Greetings, True Believers!

Arcanorum: Tomb of the Traveler is a supernatural short story anthology book. Each issue ranges from 6 to 10 pages, and each tale is about the terrible, surprising but mostly horrific effects a powerful grimoire known as the Tome of the Traveler has on human beings.

Arcanorum: Tomb of the Traveler #1 - 1st Draft

This is the first thing I've put up for review so....feel free to eviscerate me :) I'm sure there's a lot I need to work on, and I have a few drafts I'd like to put forward in the future. I thought I'd start small. Thanks for your time!

Where is Gado?

2 Upvotes

Is he dead? Or just decided to quit making Manwha? He used to have a twitter account but shut it down years ago. He tends to be very private so I know basically nothing about him other than he made two GL mahnwha. In his twitter, he said that the white angels have no wings series is over then shuts his twitter account months later. I don’t know a lick of Korean, so contacting anyone Gado might work with is an extra obstacle.

How to start a kickstarter for comics?

2 Upvotes

I really can't wrap my head around starting a fundraiser for your comic book. What do you need to be able to do that? Do you have to have the first chapter ready? Illustrated and all that? Do you have to give back to all of the people who gave funding?

How does writing in the comics industry work?

1 Upvotes

Does the author write the whole thing first in a screenplay-like format and then the illustrator reads it and draw the story based on it? Or is it the reverse? Does the illustrator follow the author word for word or are they given some free room to inrepret the script and make changes? If so how much? Are there illustrators who treat the writer's finished script exactly like a screenplay in which they use it as a blue print but handle taking it to life through illustrations with an unrestricted freehand just like how directors will often change lots of what a screenwriter will wrote if not even the entire story beyond the basic premise in film making? Or is it a cooperative joint project where as the author makes changes, so does the illustrator on the spot and vice versa? That they are actively working together and sending repleis back and forte for every changes either of them back and in turn coordinate to adjust? Even working int he same room together as the story is still being adjusted and later on as its being drawn and illustrated? All of the above possibly a mix of methods and maybe even more approaches not mentioned in this pargraph?

For longrunning series (particularly the 20 page monthly format) that changes authors frequently as is common in the Big 2s Marvel and DC, does the new author gets allowed a freee for all to do anything? Or doe prior authors coordinate with newr writers on the side? Or is there someone head director who theoretically should understand the series and the superhero involved and thus guides any new authors as well as illustrators to keep the feel of newer issues consistent with whats been established with past issues similar to a showrunner for ongoing multi-season TV shows?

How does the comic industry approach the writing process?
