I want to put together a comic-book. I would write it and pay somebody else to do the artwork. Self-publish? maybe. Seek a publisher? probably.
The idea is called (tentatively) SPOILER ALERT (no, really.)
My idea (in a nutshell) is: A twenty-something slacker comic-nerd gets transported to the comic-book universe where his encyclopedic knowledge of superhero/villians, comic history and insider info (internet, future solicitations, etc...) becomes almost a superpower. Problem is that there is someone else there from the real world and they know what he knows and have set themselves up as almost a "Dr. Doom" figure. This person realizes that he is a threat and becomes the big-bad of the first arc.
A little bit like "The Wizard of Oz with superheroes". I just don't think this Dorothy wants to go back to Kansas at all.
A superhero/action comic that plays with some genre stuff and real-world comic things. (I think one of his new friends in the comic universe gets "rebooted" and no one notices but him.) Something like that.
I've published some horror, sci-fi and superhero stories in the small press, written a couple of novels (unpublished) and have a small stack of original characters and commissioned artwork of those folks. I've also been selling off my stuff in hopes of financing it all. I CAN'T sell plasma (I checked) for six more months (because of my surgery)
So, what'dya think?
