Mythica Production Blog- Issue 4 Gantlet
Okay, as we convene here for this blog Mythica Issue 2 is in the 3/4 done stage over at Mythica Free Web Comic but behind the scenes Matt and I continue to finish work on the first arc. The first arc is being titled "Awakenings" as its theme if the awakening of the Descendants to their true nature.
Issue 3 Rude Awakenings is in the can as much as the scripts ever are. I was sort of dubious bout getting off of the standard script format but once I just let myself write a scene and tell the story I found a groove. Now, issue 3 is a pace shifting game changer. It starts out tense and shortly thereafter explodes.
Issue 4- Gantlet has an outline. Matt and I haven't gotten together on it yes but no matter the outcome of that meeting it will be action and twists front to back.
The first two issues were not devoid of action but obviously were required to establish character and what normal life is for Kim, Magnus and Riley. We get to see Kimberly as a happy young girl with a may/late July/relationship living a very normal life and thinking about becoming a woman in this era. Magnus was a military commander having a strange revelation on the battelfield. Riley is a spy getting by on her wits, pulchritude and deadly fighting skills at the side of her distinguished partner.
Once we have these paradigms established so you understand the status quo and what it is they're losing, its time to take it away or (to paraphrase Thomas Covenant) to return it them broken. And once the story allows for the pains to really run, that's what's going to happen. Like...now.
From this point on we're going to keep the pace at full throttle and see from how many frying pans into how many fires we can leap.
