Hey, guys?
Please don't email me, PM me, or approach me at a con to ask me if I think your Really Neat Comic Idea is any good. Because the truth of the matter is, I have no idea. Nobody does. And nobody will ever know if your comic is any good until you actually DO IT. If you have five or ten pages of the comic finished and want an opinion on some work that's ready to be seen, GREAT. I'd be happy to take a look. But I can't judge anything based on a pitch. I don't really believe anyone can. Not reliably, anyway.
Nearly any plot or concept can be executed poorly, no matter how original or well-pitched it is. And plenty of plots and set-ups that sound exceptionally trite in theory can make for great stories.
Your plot is important, but how you plan to tell it is what will ultimately make it worth reading. And I have no idea how you plan to tell anything if all you've got for me is "It's about (x)."
Okay. It's about (x).
So?
Oh dear, it's happening to you too now is it? My sympathies.
Ummm...I have an idea for a comic about a pirate who is in love with a ninja. See, the pirate wears his heart on his sleeve, but he never really knows what the ninja is thinking...
nevermind.
