Electroclash looked grumpy.
Water was also still wet.
She held up a comic book. "Comic books," she drawled, "are yet another thing you might want to get your face on if you're a hero. Or a slightly altered but still sort of recognizable version of your face, in case your mug is that ugly. This particular comic book was self-published ––" Her dad had paid for it, yeah. Hence the 'Rampart Independent Publishing' logo on the cover. "–– but if you're gaining popularity or just are handsome or lucky as fuck, someone might offer you a contract for one. I hear there's a decent enough amount of money to be made there. But if you're that lucky, you probably already have money coming in from other stuff."
Cereal boxes and all that.
"But if it's someone else's product, you'll probably have fuck all to say about what the content ends up being. So today, we're pretending you're going to self-publish a comic book. I've got pen and papers for all of you. Outline what your first issue would be about: origin story, a random great heroic act, whatever. I don't care. You can work alone or in pairs, if you want to do a team-up story. Just remember it should be entertaining. You can lie. Let's face it, most of you have done absolutely nothing heroic in your life yet, and no one wants to read about your daring attempts at making campground breakfast this morning. Figure out something that might sell."
She almost went back to her random brooding before she remembered one last thing.
"Oh, and ask around if you're one of those lucky bastards from somewhere that doesn't have comics. Someone else is bound to be able to explain them to you."
[ocd up!]

But he had totally rocked that fight against Swarm. He decided to start with that and then do a flashback to a heavily censored version of meeting his team to fill out the issue. Idea in place, he began to sketch.

Re: Talk to the TA [Fame 06/13]
had totally been here, sigh, selfwas here, and was more than ready to talk to anyone who wanted to know about comics. It was nice to feel like he actually had a grasp on the class topic for once.
