This is a preview of the first issue of my upcoming comic. I know a lot of fans are absolutely starving for it, so I thought it best to feed your appetite for now.
The comic will be broken into issues, like traditional trade paper backs, aiming for 24ish pages. As of this writing, I have 13 pages inked and awaiting text/color.
Page 2 notes:
This page has pacing issues and will definitely be redone before release.
"The Black Idol" is just the title of the first story. The comic, as a whole, still has no title. Titling comics is hard, especially when you're going for something of a very specific feel and context. Needs to be marketable, but also fit the tone of the comic, and that's difficult when you're going for sci-fi and Lovecraftian horror.
Page 3 notes:
Alan Moore's "Watchmen" was an important influence for the visual style. His artist used color in a way I'm not, but he used a minimal sort of shading that I thought looked nice and would accelerate the drawing process.
More importantly, I was impressed with how much he managed to fit onto one page with his nine-panel layout, so I directly borrowed that which helped cut down on page length.
Page 4 notes:
I really want this comic released as soon as I can. I absolutely need it released before Anthrocon, but I think you can safely expect it somewhat before June. The comic will be released one issue at a time - meaning, once per month, I'll unload 24 pages on you guys all at once.
