The title is a play on a then-well known manganime named "Mai the Psychic Girl" which I'm told has no influence whatsoever on this book.

>Dedicate the whole first third of the story to explain the concept
>Make it extremely narrative driven so you don't have to worry much the "show" part, the only reason of this being a comic is to me to draw movie references in the background
>Be soo bland trying to mimic the "sarcastic self-aware" asshole that you end looking even dorkier than the character that you want to make look dorkly
>Give up the concept already in the middle, just make the story about "whatever"
>N-Not all stories have to be the same, tha-that was the moral.... I-I got you guys, i was being meta and self-aware all along!

>>91620472
Well, the backgrounds are repeated but there is at least new stuff on front of them, panels now are legit the same shit.

>Comic Book Cop-Outs And Cliches Vol II by ??? Conway

Is that supposed to be a G? Is it supposed to be G. Conway as in Gerry Conway? Cause I gotta say that at least Gerry Conway never wrote Civil War II.

>>91621319
I'm not sure what your point is.
