We've all been told how in story telling, showing is a lot better than telling.
Showing gets hard if your main character is a loner that interacts with nobody. Even harder if he/she is a stoic that emotes very little. The audience will have no way of knowing ...

The Duo
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 6, 2021Top five romance tropes
Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 5, 2021
It’s not surprising that drama and romance are two popular genres when it comes to media. From TV to novels to comics, they draw the audience in with the simple question: “Who is going to end up with who?” Ships set sail, twists get turns and hearts get broken ...
Star Trek Economics

I just finished a rewatch of The Mandalorian series and one of the things I thought about was the vicious profiteering and scramble for money (or ‘credits’, or valuable metals or what have you) that indicates what kind of economy is at work in that show.
Granted, so far we ...
One is a Tragedy, A Thousand's A Statistic

An outline for a story, whether it be a one-shot or a serialised epic, needs a strong foundation. The building blocks that will become your comic must be able to stand firm on the themes, concepts, story beats and character moments explored in your outline. “I need an outline?” you ...
Protagonist, Antagonist and Villain
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 14, 2021
Over the past couple weeks I watched and loved Cobra Kai. There are multiple articles that I could write about this show.
