1st EXCITING ISSUE!

Guys Writing Comics is a blog project that’s exactly what it sounds like - two guys writing comics and posting them online.  The key word here being writing.  We’re not artists, so while some scripts may come with rough panel outline, don’t expect a full color extravangaza. Except through the power.. of IMAGINATION.  Of course you’re welcome to submit art/treatments/sketches of anything we’ve posted.  That’s awesome.  But the focus will always be on the writing.

The goals of the Guys Writing Comics blog are simple;

  • To post a new script for a full-sized comic book (around 22-24 pages) every Monday.  Sometimes these will be completely original works, sometimes we’ll be playing in other people’s sandboxes.  Some scripts will be stand alone, others may be part of a larger arc.  Whatever the case we will attempt to tell engaging and enjoyable stories.  Even if, for whatever reason, we can’t post a full script on Monday, SOMETHING will be posted.  Most likely a shorter length piece, or a one-pager with art.
  • To improve our writing skills through sticking to this regular schedule.  We’re not professional authors (not yet anyway), but there’s only one way to become a better writer - write, write, and write some more.  Constructive, intelligent critique is both welcomed and encouraged.  If you feel our writing sucks, that’s fine - provided you can break down exactly WHY this is the case.  We’re big boys, we can handle criticism.

That’s it, nice and simple.  The first script will be posted next Monday.  I’m looking forward to it.
