This all started with a mix cd via UPS. You can thank Widget Walls over at http://www.needcoffee.com for this. It has a song on it that made me want to do some high concept shit I'm clearly not capable of.
It's a webcomic written and set to the song I was listening to. I figure it would be in black and white but done I flash so that the pages change to fit the verses. The story follows a soldier through a figurative week in his life up until the point he considers suicide. Which is depressing as the refrain of the song is "Tomorrow never comes until it's too late."
Why is this shit in my head?

And I gave it all up for this?!!!!!
So I couldn't sleep the other night. This was the result of me not drinking Coke from tuesday through Saturday and I caved on Sunday. OK, I binged on Sunday and it felt like I had sniffed coke instead of drinking a few 32oz big gulps. I never got to rem sleep but the idea of a mini comic intro came into my head.
I'm still fleshing out the idea of doing a "reluctant bad guy" story I started when this intro story does the humpty dance in my head. It's based on one of the supporting characters. It doesn't help that when it comes to comics I still don't know what the hell I'm doing but here is the premise anyway.
Sadi Stick (Sadistic, yeah I know very fucking clever. Insert joke here.)
Sadinia Stikolovitch is a Dominatrix, fetish model, fashion designer, nightclub owner, and oh yeah,a Russian mob princess who just wants to run a legit business and enjoy her life as a socialite. Too bad her family just won't let that happen. Especially when she needs money.
This is how it all begins as Sadi's accounts get ripped off just as she about to open Club M.
Club M is a fictional club set here in Atlanta that is almost a homebase to every damn character I'm using for another project. The Sadi project is almost a prologue and I'm trying to get it written to be as short as possible. A minicomic if you will to get the ball rolling. Now if I could just get an artist. Oh yeah and money. I guess I'm not headed to San Diego so I no longer have the dealine of something done to pass out by then. Worst case scenario is that I'll put it out as a webcomic.

So today begins a new foray for me into the world of comics. Thank God there are some people that a far more knowledgeable on this than I am and are willing to answer questions.
Here's the skinny. I've decided,unlike most people, to make my first project a stand alone book. My goal is to start it out as a web comic versus print mainly due to the cost issue. AND, did I mention I don't know what I'm doing?
Fortunately for me the scripts have been written and now it's up to my artist. We still need to nail down a time to meet and work some of this out. I don't care when; I'm just happy he's willing to do the work. Besides it'll be good to have someone to blame this on if the work turns out to be crap. A good story can be turned to crap by a bad artist and a good artist can liven up a crap story .
This first oneshot deals with karma. Ever had that asshole boss? This is actually based on a true story here in Atlanta. Sometimes having money and power in the office means crap once that elevator lets you out onto the street. That's the story I'm gonna tell.
I'll add updates and pictures as we progress. Hopefully, we should have a seperate functioning website soon.
And we still don't have a name...
