so, I've decided to send in a comic submission to Image Comics. I haven't decided between Catboy or Kninjai Infinity but it will definitely be one of them. and I don't think it'll be a surprise to anyone who's been keeping track of my activities (*cough*Tenzil Kem *coughcough*) that I'm going to make a crossover super-team like The Avengers or The Justice League. I currently have three members for this comic and I'm thinking i'll add two more. At first I had some problems with because of all of the super heroes I've created over the years, I couldn't pick who I thought would be really cool for the comic. Then I realized that I'd been setting up the team all wrong. I was choosing members based on who had the coolest powers as opposed to who would have the most to contribute to the team, which is what I'm doing now. You see, My mother used to be in the army, and I decided she'd be the best person to ask what kind of people would make the best team, here's the list we made together
Leader: "This should be self explanatory" FILLED- KAGURA (The Legend of Kagura)
'Power house': "This mostly my idea, I thought that the team would need a 'weapon' character who could take out a good dozen guys without breaking a sweat. X-Men has Wolverine, The Justice League has Superman. FILLED- ANONYMOUS (This character's comic hasn't even been revealed yet, so I'll tell you guys who when I make their pitch public)
'Speed'/"Obligatory Energy Caster": "Again, my idea. I thought a character who could get in and out of places quickly. Useful for anything really, from recon, to delivery (like dropping a bomb into the bad guys doomsday device without being caught, to taking a hostage to safety). FILLED- RUSH (Blu Rush)
Medic: kinda obvious really. OPEN
Strategist: again, another no-brainer, I assumed that the leader would have to be the strategist, but according to my mom the leader doesnt always have to be. OPEN
Now that I know what kind of hero I want on the team, I need to come up with a name, anyone have some advice on naming superhero teams? When I first came up with this idea a few years ago, I wanted to name the team 'The Incredibles' but that's been taken by Disney now (TT_TT)
And in other news, I registered my self at Portland Community College yesterday! (you have no idea how good it felt to fill out 'high school diploma' on the form where they ask for your education) and I saw Hancock yesterday, and it...was...AWESOME! I need them to make a sequel! so until next time, bai-bai!
P.S. This blog entry, along with my entry 'Random Musings...' will be updated, so feel free to RSS this if you'd like to be updated on the crossover comic, and any of the comic Ideas that i use for new pitches.
P.S.S. I hate giving bad news, but unfortunately Catboy is inelligable to join this team, do to the fact that his comic takes place in a different universe than this one, as opposed to Kninjai Infinity, which takes place in the same universe.

That could be the powerhouse or the medic depending on the energy they are casting

Great news! Keep us posted with it, and don't be afraid to ask for advice. Congrats on entering PCC too! I think you'll really enjoy College! Oh, and don't forget that once you are a big star you can always do a Universe cross over thingy and bring your team together against Catboy!
