Project: Multiverse Comics

Just a bump and a name suggestion

Crisis of infinite Idea guys

>>93171170
Here goes.

I've got an ongoing superhero comic that's just completed and released its 5th issue.

I was also the co-editor of a comic anthology that involved over 2 dozen contributors. I successfully crowdfunded the project and reached a total of over 36K USD.

I've also been able to secure a book deal with a publishing house for a graphic novel to be released in fall 2019.

If we start a discord I'll get into specifics. Right now I'm just laying out my credentials.

Missed the last thread but I guess I can drop this here.

I had an idea about using public domain heroes to create a universe. Maybe have it centralized around Comet and Hangman. Comet being a scientist that's blessed with super powers however they make him go mad and he dies a villain. Hangman would be in the mafia and turns his life around in his brothers memory. I'd be about what makes someone a hero and all that. I also played with the idea that Stardust would play a role. Maybe he would be the reason for Comet to get his powers and an inspiration for the rise of super heroes. I thought about having Phantom Lady show up as well.

I also had the idea to use public domain sci-fi heroes for a raygun gothic style space opera.

>>93171528
Any tips for writing. I could drop a discord link for an old /co/ chat we had for another idea

>>93171170
It's so weird /co/ seems to move on from this sort of thing when I'm interested, and then gets into it when I've moved on.

I guess my one contribution is to take a page from Hypertime and Image comics, in that allow creators to decide how canon they want any of this crossing over to be. It makes things lofty of course, but allowing more flexibility should help people feel less apprehensive about getting involved in the event their ideas get misused, overshadowed or what not permanently.

Very nicely done. Post some of your work when you get the chance.

Aspiring writer to be here that's working on his series bible atm and hating every minute of it. I keep thinking I'm not doing actual work but I need to remind myself that every word I type is bringing me closer to a fully realized world filled with characters the audience can care about.

As soon as this thing gets done (and I mean done done with lettered pages and everything), you better believe I'm going to post that shit here. Because of /co/ I've had the oppurtunity to read treasure troves of comics and the least I can do is give back.

>>93171632
Make sure you have your actual story already written out with a beginning, ending, and everything inbetween. This may seem obvious but if you start working on something more focused like a script there's the chance your story won't work out and you'll either have to end the story prematurely or asspull your way to victory.

>>93171170
I have a superhero thing I'm working on but I can hang out with you guys until this project inevitably dies.

>>93171751

Such is the fate with all /co/ projects.

>>93171170
Ok, I know this is dumb as shit, I know it very well, but I'm posting it anyway.
Earlier the first thin it crossed my mind for a name for this was Ecoverse (e/co/verse), but that sounded like something ecological related.
So I thought writing it Echoverse was maybe better, as in a lot of voices and different ideas "echoing together".
And there's also this:
>Echo verse; a type of verse in which repetition of the end of a line or stanza imitates an echo. The repetition usually constitutes the entire following line and changes the meaning of the part being repeated.
I don't know, it somewhat has a metaphoric meaning; if we're going to dump different ideas into the same universe (we're doing that?) each new story kinda has to follow a cohesiveness with what the previous writers did, right?
As in avoid causing contradictions and such.

Please, don't be to harsh with this stupid idea, it's the first thing that came to my mind.

>>93171794
I get started on that right now.

>>93171632
>Any tips for writing

Nothing to it but to do it. For me getting started is the hardest part. But don't really concentrate on how you might (and probably will) fuck up. Just do it and fix it later.

And before you try looking for an artist you should put together the best script you can in the way only you can. You should write a few actually. Don't get attached to them either because they will not be sticking around.

These are now your portfolio. Now people know you're serious and ready to work. But depending on how you respond they'll also know the sort of person you are and if they can work with you. And the most important part is they'll know what you're capable of.

Start with short scripts. Don't throw a bunch of graphic novels or full-length superhero issues in people's faces. Nobody wants to work with those dudes.

Take criticism graciously even if you think it's garbage. It's better to move on and apply the crit you think works than to get in arguments with others and acquire a bad reputation.

There is no guarantee for getting work or making your dream project. In fact I fell into this stuff through a lot of luck and perseverance. But this will get you started and as I said before, getting started is the hardest part.

Is Bored-Drawfriend still here?

If so, I have another request.

Actually, can we post designs here and get input on them?

I'm not sure about the color scheme I'm working with.

Doing the same right now. Gonna put a cape film on the background and knock out enough words to put me at my count for the day. Stephen King said 2000 words a day and while that initially sounds daunting, as long as you keep plugging at it eventually it will get done.


>>93171849
>Don't throw a bunch of graphic novels or full-length superhero issues in people's faces. Nobody wants to work with those dudes.
Listen to this anon. I plan on making a superhero universe as my magnum opus, but I fully understand that starting with a grand project like that is probably a little too ambitious (but if the scripts are already done, I say fucking go for it). Instead, I'm going to try and pump out a couple four issue minis to show you can tell a story. Also by having the stories be in different style (one sci fi, the other horror), you can demonstrate that you can write for different artists.

>>93171849
>>Take criticism graciously even if you think it's garbage. It's better to move on and apply the crit you think works than to get in arguments with others and acquire a bad reputation.
Another line of gold. Never every piece of criticism is going to push you in the right direction. I had one of my friends read my comic and while she offered a few good points, she said one of my characters was poorly written (the character was suffering from depression) when in fact he was written perfectly fine and she was simply unable to empathasize/understand someone like that. Does that mean I should discount everyhting she says....absolutely not. Just take it with a grain of salt.

Unspecified Tips.
1. Count your words. Page space is limited so be wary of that.
2. Speak all of your dialog aloud.
3. Have a panel layout in mind when writing (just to help make sure everything fits).
4, Make sure your story has a definitive ending. It doesn't matter how you get there, as long as you know that's where it ends.
5. Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
6. It's your story, make it your own.

Goddamn. Fuck you Stephen King.

>>93172083
>Instead, I'm going to try and pump out a couple four issue minis to show you can tell a story.
Think even smaller, anon. 4-8 pages is the best spot for very early writers because artists are expensive and charge by the page.

>artists are expensive and charge by the page
Holy shit this is the truth. What happened to the age of collaboration? Have internet commissions killed this thought?

He recommends 2000 words for BEGINNERS.

>>93172188
>>93172188
>artists are expensive and charge by the page.
Don't I know it, but if I'm going to shell out for an artist I at least want a finished product of something I care about rather than a 4-8 page setup I use to get their attention.


>>93172292
>>93172292
>What happened to the age of collaboration?
Collaboration still totally exist. It's just that most artists such their own cock a bit too much and overestimate their importance. If worse comes to worse you can pencil it yourself and hire a letterer/inker (nowhere near what you'd pay for a penciler).

I'm banking on them finding the project intriguing enough that they'd want to form a partnership (giving them a significant degree of creative input). If not, I'll pay their fee but they can suck my cock if they think they're getting a single dime past that point.

>>93171170
If that annoying REEE NO PROSE ONLY SCRIPTS guy stays in then this project will die. His autism is too powerful for anything resembling a group dynamic.

>>93172292
To quote lyricist Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr.
>Now this types of shit, happens all the time
You got to get yours but fool I gotta get mine

>>93172292
Nope. There's still a lot of artists who'd love to collab. They've just become much harder to find. Not even a few years ago you could find them hanging out in random forums, or on dA, tumblr and even reddit. But it's really hard to advertise that on twitter or some portfolio. You've gotta do some detective work and track people down these days.

>>93172410
>I'll pay their fee but they can suck my cock if they think they're getting a single dime past that point.
I feel like you definitely need to make sure you get a lawyer to draft up a contract if you go that route. It just sucks because I'm such ass at drawing and I work as an American wage-serf, barely living paycheck to paycheck. No way could I afford to pay an artist the rate I see them asking.

I've been having a realization that my writing was being influenced by RHatO. And as the preview thread mentioned, he does too much narration. Hence I've noticed my writing is crammed with narration. Gonna try and see if it can be edited down but chances are I need to rework the whole thing.

>>93172188
I have a hard time imagining an 8 page story. I suppose the big 2 have spoiled me. What are some 8 page stories you recommend to get an idea of length?

>>93172460
That's why you get a second job and start saving up.
If you really want to create, you will find a way.

Echoverse Wasn't bad but it doesn't quite drive home the point that what we would need is a Multiverse. Badly.
>Actually we'd probably need an omniverse because many of us may already have multiverse projects in the works (I have at least 3 different universes in my own work) so combining my multiverse and someone else's probably wouldn't be what's necessary.

>>93172595
As an artist, if you had to guestimate how much you would charge to pencil eight separate 24 page stories? And let's forget lettering (I might be able to pull that off if necessary) and inking (i'll worry about that once I see fully penciled pages).

???

>>93173319
Being a leaf probably opens them up to getting a grant or some sort of shortcut to a Canadian publisher. Canadian aublishers are more willing to work with non-Leaf artists than they are writers because of the country's culture of keeping Canadian things distinct from the US.

Also a lot of people from outside the US find US writers to be obnoxious to work with for a lot of reasons.

As an American writer I both get it and also find it sorta silly. But it's not anything I have to worry about personally, so it's no big deal.

Best not to dwell on it and just get back to building this multiverse anthology.

Anyone currently in the discord?

>>93173319
>>Has to actually be good at writing and not just an ideas guy. The most important one, also post sample of work.
I could do that. I wouldn't even want to contact an artist until I had a finished project to show them.

>This is... weird, but somewhat understandable.
Huge fan of cape comics (all cape comics), but still a fan of sci-fi, horror, mystery/crime, and slice of life comics (as long as it's leading somehwere -- i hate stories that meander into nothing like QUestionable Content).

Not him, but this project has a whole lot riding against it.
First, people will probably force this into a "4chan /co/" thing, so your work will be indirectly associated with alt-right crypto-Nazi Cambodian shadow puppet usenet group.
Second, people on 4chan are notoriously non-committal and prone to topic drift; I've been involved in both /tg/ and /toy/ groups that disintegrated within days. One started out as a discussion group for a toyline and devolved into the resident stoners talking about how great weed was.
Third, you're a nobody namecalling people and generally being overly aggressive. If I were getting paid I'd ignore you but if I'm doing this for free I don't want to associate with a pretentious twat such as yourself.

>>93173527
At some level he's right though. This site is a breeding ground for hateful selfish people to try and take advantage of anything and everything presented in front of them, which in this case my include a /co/mrades story in progress. Say what you will, but thieves can and will take everything they can, even story premises that may just be in the infancy stage because they thought it was better than the shit they come up.

>>93173473
How would they be "wasted"? Obviously every creative team would retain ownership of their characters and stories, this is a given.

>>93173719
>First, people will probably force this into a "4chan /co/" thing, so your work will be indirectly associated with alt-right crypto-Nazi Cambodian shadow puppet usenet group.
This is a given. However, the whole point of the project is to get people's stories out there, and have people like them. Despite the "by /co/mrades for /co/mrades" part of the OP, I doubt these stories would be exclusively aimed at your average 4chan user but at all readers.

>Second, people on 4chan are notoriously non-committal and prone to topic drift; I've been involved in both /tg/ and /toy/ groups that disintegrated within days. One started out as a discussion group for a toyline and devolved into the resident stoners talking about how great weed was.
Yes, this is true, but you forget that people in 4chan HAVE managed to make stuff. /co/ DID manage to make Premier Pulp. /tg/ DID manage to make a board game. And so on and so forth. That's what the discord is there for, so people can't hide behind the veil of anonymity and actually deliver.

>Third, you're a nobody namecalling people and generally being overly aggressive.

How am I being overly aggressive? For all you know, that was my first post in this entrie thread.

If I were getting paid I'd ignore you but if I'm doing this for free I don't want to associate with a pretentious twat such as yourself.
Yikes.

>>93173731
Obviously everyone would have to sort out their legal shit first, every character and story would belong to their creators.

>>93173731
It's really not a bad idea in general. Every story I finish I think back on all of the best parts of it, and think how I could do something similar or better. Everything at this stage is so vague and raw that it doesn't take much derivation to come up with your own unique ideas. Most of these ideas will stay on the cutting room floor or never materialize anyways, so it at least is a fun exercise for yourself

If you start working on a series bible, that is worth a damn. It's a single compendium of everything you (or someone else) would need to understand your work and pick up if necessary. Just start compiling everything in there. Story ideas, themes, character descriptions, fantastic inventions like portal guns or black hole grenades, everything.

Every little thing that pertains to your story, no matter how broad or detailed should bei ncluded in your bible in some way shape or form (so the character descriptions you've already churned out are fair game to include). Then once you have your characters out of the way, make a section for locales that you're going to frequent (base of operations, meeting rooms, character's homes, etc). Even if it may not seem like it, if you are actively working towards making your comic a cohesive universe and doing that via text form, you're doing exactly what you need to do.

>>93174580
I ain't spurring shit. You guys are doing that all on your own and it's intoxicating.

>>93174620
That's not a zine or anthology or whatever, it's just a bunch of /co/mrades creating characters that share a universe. This is more of a chance to showcase different original superhero universes/stories, they don't have to share the same universe.

>>93174620
As I understood it from someone there some time ago, those things are tied to the board, there's a whole series of unspoken rules to the type and direction of collaboration and how it's tied to others. At least that's been said when someone outside the circle showed up.

Things like this are usually just done through the board. They're not necessarily tied to /co/.

You do realize that it's 2017 and not 1997, right? Anyone who wants to get their writing out there will have better luck on their blog rather a no-name zine out of 4chan. Especially if they're just scripts. Hell, there's only one person interested in drawing and even then he isn't doing it for free. Who wants a zine of nothing but donut steel capeshit scripts?

>>93174735
Not him, and while it's true that a 4chan zine doesn't mean jackshit in a resume, it's a fun exercise and a chance to give back to the community.

I'd like to ask everyone to chill out and see this as more of a trial run of what you'll have to go through in the real comic book industry. You'll have to deal with partnerships, trusting other people, editing, and yes, some unpleasant people. But at the end, I think this could be a real worthwhile experience.

No one. Which we why we need to focus more on pushing /co/mrades to actually finish their stories and pitch them to artists rather than relegate themselves to "what ifs" and hopefully wishes that their story will get them found.

If a writer wants to be discovered, he's got three options. Option 1, find a publisher that's cool with just script submissions and do it that way. Option 2, draw it yourself,. Option 3, find an artist and work out a deal. Because most peeps on this board are still in the planning phase phase. ANd I need to reiterate, this statement isn't me being mean, it's

>>93174812
I understand your point of view but respectfully disregard it. I learned the hard way that if you start writing a story without a bible in hand (especially if your story involves a very specific chronology), you're gonna eventually write yourself into a corner because the story didn't work out the way you wanted it to. It may not happen to everyone (and if you avoided it kudos), but one needs to have an idea of who their characters are and what the fuck happens in their story before they start churning scripts out.
>Doing both at the same time is an effective tool. Setting up pages as you're adding them to the story is super useful but I find myself always going back and tweaking and once I have the story finalized I should stop doing that.

Depends on the goals of the work I guess.
With a branching story universe, I would want all the who-what-when-where-whys of it to be sorted in relation to each other before trying to make a story out of it.
I've got character bios, broad story arc outlines and an extensive timeline all worked up for mine. All I've got to do is plug in dialog and I've got story after story already written.

But that's because I'm juggling several "series" that happen across different eras of the same setting. A bible was a must. I guess if you're going for something smaller in scale, then a bible wouldn't be so important.

>>93177867
Post examples of your work.

>>93172150
>>93172408
2000 words really isn't THAT much for novels and other similar genres. Not saying that my lazy ass doesn't sometimes have problems with even that, but that's a fact. Comics obviously have a lot less words.
>>93171170
Anyway, I would be very interested in writing something for this project, I've been wanting to do some comics for years, but I have a manual disability so no drawing for me. Should I just post ideas, is there any list of already established things?

>He's an ideas guy

>>93178631
No, I do write stuff. I just don't know if anything have already been established about the "shared universe" and what sorts of stories and characters are we exactly looking for.

>>93178669
It's cool, I'm just being a cunt

The shared universe idea, so far as I understood it, was more of a shared multiverse, so anything goes, your cosmology can be completely contrary to my own because they are separate universes in the same multiverse. That way your ideas about, say, reincarnation won't get in the way of my ideas about some sort of cosmic purgatory.

>>93178729
So it's pretty much just "writers looking for artists and wanting to show off their ideas with maybe some crossovers if anything comes out of it"? I don't want to be a pessimist since I'm all for any kind of creative initiative, but I kind of doubt whether anything will come out of it. I'll try to write something up by evening though.

>>93171609
Me and my brother had the same idea, but I would have to dig into my notes to find out who we were focusing on. As for Stardust, we were going to have him mostly stick to the background as a figure that inspired dread in just about everyone, more of a force of nature who was too busy giving fates worse than death to random criminals to actually get involved with anyone else (usually).

Also have Ted Kord show up in minor rolls sometimes because Blue Beetle is in the public domain.

>>93180144
I like that idea a lot. In my story I wanted him to show up and everyone and help the Allies during WWII and everyone praised him as a hero but over time people started to see how morally bankrupt he actually was. That along side Comet's psychotic break where he killed a person would be what made people question the idea of heroes. Any chance you could find your notes? I'd be interested in bouncing thoughts back and forth

>>93180201
I remember them being fairly barebones, but I'll find them after getting some sleep. I am sick and tired, but also have insomnia. They are currently on my otber computer that has a broken wifi antenna so I will need to transfer them first. I also need to translate it from the bastard shorthand I use for this stuff. I am in the Discord, so if this thread goes down I will post it there.


From what I remember I also have a basic cosmology thing that connects some of the old horror comics to it.

Alias: Brimstone
Name: Jack Reynolds
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 195lbs
Build: Mesomorph (rhomboid)
Territory: Silver City
Abilities: Skilled acrobat & martial artist. Investigative detective with seemingly preternatural insight / Kirby is unusually intelligent for a dog & may possess other unusual characteristics
Background: Shot & left for dead by minions of the crime-lord Mister Silk, Jack Reynolds’ life was saved by an enormous black dog he would later name Kirby. Allowing his enemies to believe him deceased, Jack took up residence with Kirby in the miles of abandoned subway & sewer tunnels beneath the city streets. They now work tirelessly to dispense evil unto evil as Brimstone & Hellhound.

On the name: I can’t decide whether to call the two ‘Brimestone & Hellhound’ or ‘Ghost & Ghoul.’
On the costume: I’m also unsure of the color scheme I’ve chosen. Advice & input are appreciated.

>>93171170
Just a reminder, you don't need talent, writers, or artist to make a project successful, you need organizers and good business sense.

>>93180360
Alright, I can't wait to see.

please dont make this like that pokemon fangame /vp/ said their were gonna make in 2012.

>>93180680
I don't know anything about that. What happened?

>>93180804
It was a fangame that was called pokemon Sage, people could create their own pokemon and stuff, but the game was never finished

It'd be cool to have a bunch of people do their own stuff but still be in a shared universe, with the creators choosing how shared they want their work to be, but still in the universe
Like, you can have a book where a bunch of heroes appear all the time(if the hero ~creator~allows it or if he helps or something) and you can have one where you never have a crossover with a established character from the universe, but events in the universe still affect its world
It'd be cool, but i don't know how it'd work with the beard being anonymous and all
I'm an artist btw, but i work a lot and would have little time for a project like that

>>93180943
We need something to tie them all together, have you guys heard of jenny everywhere? We could use her

>>93171170
I already have an entire multiverse for my writing but I wonder how this could factor in seeing as one universe is capeshit

>>93180981
Nah, i don't think it'd be necessary, think something like a dude has a book where the dude is an investigator, pretty non-cape stuff happening and all, but then in newspaper the headline is a big cape thing that happened in another book

I also think that a briefing every week of so with the creator to establish what will happen in their books and discuss how that could affect the universe and what COULD affect the universe would be cool

>>93171170
Can someone re-link the discord?

>>93180597
I started looking and so far gave had no luck. I am starting to think it might be on my brother's computer. I guess I will have to rewrite it. It should not take me long to piece it together at least.

>>93181298

>>93180144
The Blue Beetle in the public domain is Dan Garrett.

>>93180943
The original idea was to have a shared multiverse, not universe. I still think that idea is better since it's less messy and the crossovers can be more natural to each story.

>>93181068
Creating a shared universe is way too much work for /co/, and this is coming from someone who is optimistic about this. Better to have each story take place within its own continuity.

>>93180447
Does anyone have any thoughts on this character?

>>93183176
It needs an emotional motivation.

Vengeance? Justice? What about his family? etc

>>93183176
Design's a little bland. I get what you were going for but it could be a little more spiffy. I'm also not sure about his origin, how exactly did a dog save him from a bullet wound?

I feel like you would be better off making a street level Spectre expy.

>>93181847
Ted Kord and the rest of the Charleton gang are public domain.

>>93183176
Give us some more info. Who does he fight? What's his supporting cast? Is the dog his spirit animal like in The Crow?

>>93184246
Huh, I guess he IS public domain.
http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Beetle_(Charlton_II)

I feel like WB would give you way too much grief about using him, Dan or any of the Charlton characters though.

>>93184325
Does WB even care about Ted?

>>93184444
Well, they certainly care about the Blue Beetle brand enough to shill it once in a while.

What should I do guys?

>>93184630
you could do both

>>93184630
I think you should join since this gives you the chance of not only working with other people, but also showcasing your own universe. That's what the anthology should be all about imo, little snippets of something bigger. From then on you can "graduate" to working on your own if you want to.

>>93181909
A shared multiverse is nice, but i still think a universe could be done if the creators have full control over their stories and if we can be organized and have talks about the world and the universe of the comics, a shared universe allows for easter eggs about other books and some nods and stuff that a multiverse can't, and having a prime universe doesn't exclude the possibility of other universes

>>93184630
You could do both as people are saying, it's just gonna be a part of the /co/ multiverse

>>93184695
True, but it's just too much work for too little payoff. I mean, who's going to care about easter eggs if all the characters are literally who OCs? That's what the /co/llective is for anyway, if you really want to do a shared universe.

>>93184693
>>93184668

Okay then. I'll join you.

Have none of you considered that you're all fucking terrible at creative writing?

Every single /co/ project that pops up usually ends with some faggots making mary sue characters they shove into everything as they try to control the group.

Looking at you, WoS and Covengers faggots.

>>93171818
I like this idea.

>>93183403
This is good input, thank you.

I guess "They shot me!" isn't enough to put on a costume and fight crime; I'll add something else.

>>93184197
Could you suggest changes?

>>93184246
He'd fight street-level crooks, with an undercurrent of the bizarre and supernatural.

>>93185216
So I just we should all give up on everything fun we would ever want to do simply for the fear that it might be bad, huh?

I wouldn't mind writing or being an editor.
But I have no idea how to go about doing either for a comic.

>>93185325
Yes because it will be bad 100% of the time.

>>93185216
I agree about the WoS part. I was in the project and it was pure cancer 90% of the time. And maybe Covengers was like that when it first started, but they've gotten much better.

WoS died in less then a year and Covengers is still active, so that should tell you something.

>>93185387
>Covengers is still active
I haven't seen a single thread in a fuck long time

>>93185216
True, there are a lot of faggotty spazes around. I blame Homestuck.

But the issue is they enjoy doing what they are doing more than the responsible people (usually 1 person) are enjoying keeping the project together.

>>93185459
Mods here kept banning them so they migrated to other boards and chans.

>>93185459
Mainly discord nowadays

>>93185479
Tell that to the (numerous) projects they destroyed with their own stupidity and deviantart tier tendencies.

Purge. Jero. Lion.

Faggots.

>>93185459
I never said they were active on /co/. Probably the only reason it does still live.

>>93185640
They won't listen because it's not 'fun.'

>>93185674
>>93185572
>>93185541
Are you the same person and are you part of Covengers or something?

>>93171170
do people here actually make comics? how would canon be determined, if at all?

>>93185216
All the mary sues left when they couldn't strangle the life out of covengers anymore.

Anyone who says otherwise at this point are the mary sues who got ran out for being drama starting little bitches.

>>93185739
We're still figuring that out.

>>93185640

Well now I know you're full of shit. He was literally one of the few there who wanted the project to actually be something good

Hi Lion.

>>93186564
Were you actually in WoS? Who was your character? Or did you just view the threads and decided you didn't like him cause memes

>>93186578
>>93186564
Actually this poster is sounding like hes actually Emit

>>93186604
Close but no cigar

>>93186604
Well thats what happens in projects like that. Some people aren't fond of other people and they air their greivances in private, and its often towards the people "in charge" or generally members given more attention. Everyone eventually becomes guilty of it, especially with the amount of people in that project. Interpersonal bullshit always rises to the top and near everyone becomes guilty of it.

>>93186693
Which member fellated Lion the most?

'cause that'll tell you who this poster is.

Pick one and only one. I'm pretty sure if the project becomes a company or some kind of legal entity it isn't play pretend.
Go back to ERPing with the other autists.

as some one who actually went there, it isn't even asking you for your real name.

>>93186934
You're never going to be a legitimate company. Drop your expectations now. You're a pathetic little shit with no ideas playing pretend as if you could run anything. The fact you're pushing legal documents so quick proves it.


Fuck off you insecure baby.

You have Discord. Stop bitching and talk there, probably a better area for it either way. This is 4chan, you can't derail something when the rails were never there.
Also, are you going to charge people money next? Get them to copyright shit? Cause that will probably make your project last about 3 months.

This question is directed to everyone in the thread. When you inevitably finish your grand project and have it fully penciled, inked, lettered, and bound, are you gonna post it to /co/?
You better fucking believe I will. I plan on posing the cbr/cbz the second it hits shelves.

>>93187002
Of course they did, sweetheart. That's why WoS is still an active, strong community with lasting relationships, right?

You're literally brown nosing a faceless entity, get the dick out of your mouth.

>>93186987
We're not planning to be a "legitimate" company, the legal stuff is pretty much just telling people to secure their shit so it doesn't get stolen, standard stuff that anyone in the entertainment business does nowadays.

Unless you're planning to create an open source character that is.

>>93187002
>Hes making a bunch of Anons on a random board sign it, anyone doing that is a dumbass

feel free to provide proof.

>>93187002
>Also, are you going to charge people money next?
Nope, it's a non-profit zine.
>Get them to copyright shit?
That should be a given. Seriously, who doesn't copyright their shit nowadays?
>Cause that will probably make your project last about 3 months.
Then we'll make the most out of those three months.

>>93187040
You just said it could turn into a company. Now you're saying it won't.

You're playing pretend so shut the fuck up.

>>93187062
You just have to join the discord. Other posters are confirmed this too.

Are you just retarded or something?

That was another anon.
>prove it

>>93187127
Screencap if you were there. Thats what he means

>>93187127
post the "legal documents" people are being made to sign

because so far its something just being planned and optional for people who may want to retain ownership of their OC's. if you dont give a damn about it you can ignore it

>>93187152
So you're proving his point wrong then and your project intends to become a company? Please refer to my last post about being a pathetic nobody that will go nowhere just like every /co/ project.

>>93187034
Actually like 85% of the people from WoS are still in contact with each other. The project is dead but the friendships aren't.

>>93187062
I don't need too. Its just dumb. I'm not saying the whole idea of this project is bad, but making people have to sign something is kinda stupid.

>>93187067
I do legitimately wish you and your project luck, but I doubt it will make it far.
If you prove me wrong, great. Make something of yourself.

What gave you the impression that I was ever in the project to begin with? I took interest in this thread up until some anon brought up Covengers and ever since then it just brought the thread to a standstill with some bullshit drama as usual.

I don't care if the project is "legally binding" or is "trying to be a company." At least it doesn't disrupt entire threads like Covengers or this WoS shit does, bringing with it the usual obnoxious autistic vibe it's commonly known for.
Covengers is pure fucking cancer and no matter what thread they're brought up in, it always usually leads to drama or some shit. Not that it isn't obvious that this would happen, It's to be expected of a project notorious for autists wanting to be noticed from how much unimportant significance they can garner from their play pretend OCs.

I'm still going to say that Covengers is an ERP project because I'm getting a rise out of you.

Nope. This all started because Covengers was brought up and that somehow diverged into drama between some spergs, as usual.
This thread probably would've followed along usually without you guys.

>>93187949
You're probably not Breakdown. I see his art a lot here and he's usually pretty chill.

Can I assume the 3 names I posted already are not you? If so I'd guess next that you're actually Kaiju or Heap.

Okay so here's an idea for a core multiversal title we could have to help establish the universe.

I think it should be set at this kind of multiversal hub. Some guy mentioned having a lead host and I liked that. I think the Host should be in charge of basically this multiversal bureaucracy. In that , everything is very tediously ordered and hierarchical in terms of authority. I.e. There's like a DPS for people renewing their multiversal travel licenses or something. These are pretty much exclusive to those permitted to travel the universe by the Host or some higher suit in the chain. These guys, I'll just call them Hoppers for now, are like multiversal police, sent out to deal with any discrepancies that may lead people to believe in the existence of other universes or creating something threatening to the universe.

So there's this pair of hoppers who get sent out on a mission to this other Earth where artificial intelligence has exterminated humanity with its own utopian civilization. The problem here is that the Host is figuring that since they exponentially learn, they're can't be far off from realizing there's other universes. Maybe they're even creating their own simulated worlds. So these two hoppers come by, I'm thinking one grizzled veteran, a woman, probably some kind of alien around mid-to-late thirties, and a younger new guy, probably human, someone for the reader to identify with and to get exposition going.

So they come to this Earth and the whole ethical dilemma is whether or not to order this planet extinguished, something I like to think would be done through some multiversal call center or maybe a multiversal court, or somehow able to convince them away from interfering in the multiverse should they learn about it. Maybe possibly through empathisizing with one of their created worlds and talking to them about the obligation of creating harmony for those whom you're responsible for. Use it to present philosophy to the reader.

>>93188154
But you didn't say anything about Kaiju or should I say DROP? is my assertion correct?

>>93188168
And obviously, this afford us the chance to showcase the various multiverses, heroes, and villains to the reader as well by traveling to different worlds and universes every issue. Like the old Strange Tales or Amazing Fantasy.

>>93188168

We should focus on telling good stories first, cosmology shit second.

Good idea, but as others said it might be a bit ambitious. Let's wait until we get a few stories established before we start bridging them altogether.

I do love the idea of a hopper team that go from multiverse to multiverse.

And I think this title should be an Omniverse rather than a multiverse. Some of us may already have an idea for the "god" of their worlds and it eliminats teh chance of it interrupting someone else's story.

Omniverse - Collection of multiverses which contain the previously mentioned universe.

Call them "The Investors" and I'm in.
I am intrigued by otherworldly characters being a consistent theme throughout all these universes and even if I don't get involved in the discord, I'd love to include them in some way/shape/form in my own work.

>>93188408
If you're interested in making a cosmic/"pantheon" type thing across all universes that unifies without getting in the way, create it within a space that no one looks, not even inside their own works.

For instance, create a Kafkaesque omni-microverse.

Every decision creates a shitton of redtape. But once it gets cleared, big things happen.

>>93189210
Lol that is exactly what I've done. Maybe not with the specificity you described (adore teh idea of a pantheon), but I made my "gods" be in their own separate universe that while they can't leave their home (much to their dismay), they can influence universes to scary degrees, Examples include like altering the very physics of a universe in progress or create new universes entirerly.. The only thing is that they can't outright erase a person from existence but that can create all goddamn day.

Can anyone tell me what Covengers and WoS were? I wasn't aware there were any efforts to create anything outside those fetish threads with the milfs with the anime boobs.

>>93191353
They were meant to be fun little groups to make a shared superhero universe in. Collab projects with stories n shit.

Covengers is still alive and I can say with certainty none of the posters talking about it are from it or left the project early and just shitpost now.

WoS was similar but it's dead now from dramatic autists I won't name.

Are any of you aware of Enter Void?

All the organizational stuff is being handled and its the same kind of loose continuity thing you guys are wanting to be a part of.

>>93192842
Tell us more friend.

>>93192149
What did they produce?

>>93193850
The site is entervoid,com

It's all framed around creating characters and comics for your characters. There's a multiverse story in place to accommodate everybody's creations.
One draw is that other people can challenge you to a battle and pit their character(s) against yours.They've got a guide that explains it

>>93192149
Covengers came literally years before WoS. A crossover never happened and shared universe was never established.
>>93193850
They were just for roleplaying, but WoS died because the autists treated it like an official project instead of a group of friends playing Superhero DnD

I won't say anymore. This is meant to be fore the Multiverse project and Covengers and WoS topics should be moved to a new thread or just dropped.

Shouldn't you people be working on your stuff instead of hanging around in this thread?

>>93194153
talking about doing a thing is more fun than doing it though

Multiverse theory is fucking cancer

start simple with a protagonist focus instead.

>>93194654
its only cancer when people play idea guy without writing down a fucking story that is at least coherent

>>93194738
Agreed, but good luck with that. Your chances at success are slim to none IMHO.

>>93188168
First, at a stab, this wouldn't gel with at least some cosmologies. I know it wouldn't gel with either of mine.

Second
>sent out to deal with any discrepancies that may lead people to believe in the existence of other universes
Eventually learning that you're part of a multiverse is part and parcel of a superhero universe. If I were to participate, I have plans for stories in both my universes where they learn they're part of a larger multiverse.

Proposed solution: It's not a celestial Host, or a multiversal hub, BUT they want others to believe that. What they are is a single universe where the tech/magic/metahumans grew so powerful they can easily control multiversal travel (at least in their part of the infinite) and have people or tech or magic that does allow them to policy stuff like that, and fight multiversal threats and destroy entire universes along with all their alternate timelines and misthical dimensions.

Kinda like how the Time Lords invented time travel and started policing their universe so against threats to time and space, except in a much higher scale.

>>93188408
>>93188432
If there was a real multiversal or omniversal being I would suggest it was simply The Voice, The Light, The Creative Force, or whatever other name. The one that Marvel calls The One Above All and DC calls the The Source. The being that creates everything, but doesn't seem active. All mysterious. May or may not be the abrahamic god, may or may not be in command of the angels.

>If there was a real multiversal or omniversal being I would suggest it was simply The Voice, The Light, The Creative Force, or whatever other name.
I'm okay with "The Voice" but I feel like collectively we could do better.
>Those Behind the Scenes
>The Editors
>The Unversed (pretty sure this is already used somewhere).
>"God"
>Unseen Hand
>"Senior Partners" (I've been watching too much Angel).
>De Scriptoribus
>Alii Deorum

I did like "The Creative Force" as a way of referencing the writers themselves but I feel like we could do something less on the nose.

Another question, what's your ultimate goal? Not the goal necessarily for right now, but your ultimate goal assuming everything goes right.

i wanna put out a 100+ comic series in a cape universe that I created with a definitive beginning and ending. I plan for it to be my thesis on the cape genre as a whole wherein I plan to tackle all major comic tropes and provide my own unique take on them. Every aspect of the genre will be fair game. I want to emphasize that this is not going to be a deconstruction, merely a repacking of common concepts in interesting ways..

It's a neat concept. But its hard to swallow that their motivation would alight with the protagonist's, since they are fundamentally different kind of beings.
