Aha! I found someone else who shares my exact views on why you shouldn't arbitrarily and inconsistently violate things like physics, logic and causality:

"So What If I Broke Twelve Laws Of Physics? It's Only Science FICTION"

This silly opinion ...

Well, I know I would be interested in seeing a pic of this...

It would involve a lot of transitional handwaving; since you can't see cosmic strings (they're one dimensional). Though you could theoretically (and easily) detect them due to the massive effects they would have on ...

Are you an artist?

Not much of one, but I'm competent enough to do a bit of back and forth with a person who is.

Very cool stuff, IMJ. I like the idea of one or more of the players being able to 'skip' over space, shifting to diverse regions at the same time. Now I just have to figure out something on how it would look!

One thing I was thinking, also, is that the one using cosmic strings might be able to let ...

Sorry, what I meant was C60 Fullerenes.

I was wondering if anyone here with a combination of common sense and physics knowledge would be interested in helping me develop a blow-by-blow realistic battle. Precise distances, magnitudes and colors are appreciated, as that will make it much easier for me to create scenes progressions based on ...

Superhumans wouldn't fight like ordinary people. That's something I'd like to get across if I ever make comics. It would look weird. There would be lots of weights, and lots of getting knocked waaaay back.

I can go with that train of thought, but why is one boot chosen over wearing a pair?
Because you only need one center of mass, and if that's necroplasm or holy fire (which can be as heavy as it needs to be, within limits) then you're not going to need more than one point of serial contact. One ...

My inclination is to say that Super Grover and Mighty Mouse could beat the ever loving crap out of Superman.

To be captain Buzzkill, a bucket boot actually does make sense if you're superhumanly strong. It gives you a broader weight distribution and better ground leverage.

It makes good sense for tanks (Fuji, to take an Image example) and it may make even more sense for plasma-in-a-shell beings, like ...

No, he is a genuine superhero—along with arch enemy, Evil Greg. However, not sure if the pair is more analogous to Superman and Lex or Superman and Bizzaro. :P
I actually used to work in a shake shop next to a gym where there was a guy named Rocco, who wore a suit and tie (habit from being a ...

I liked his costume design until Todd started doing the whole bucket boot thing.
Dude, I am 110% with you on that. I don't get Todd's fascination with bucket-boots. Bucket-boot Angela was even worse.

It's cool if one or two characters are like that, but at a certain point it becomes like how ...

Just so everyone is clear, properties I have developed are far from ready for launching off. I am just wondering about your opinions of various publishers.

Image seems the most open to new talent, of "major" publisher. If this had been ten years ago, I would have also listed Dark Horse. Otherwise ...

I assume you're making a facetious reference to the poster?

Well, I wish I had better reasons but Spawn was the only one that I read for more than the initial mini or story arc. With me I kinda wins by default.
I think Spawn was the best character in Image to be an anti-hero without being a generic anti-hero. His powers were cool, his design was the best ...

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I am a huge fan of Superman and all ripping him off, as I think he has the coolest powerset ever. A little auto-bio, although I had seen comic book shows and individual books I really got into comics as a side effect of my interest in pulp fiction and hard science ...

If you are going to try Image, you'll need an artist. They don't match people up. You can't just sumbit a script.

You really should submit everywhere. You'll probably get rejected everywhere and the experience will help.
This is more a hypothetical on if you had a sellable property. But you're ...

At the beginning? Spawn because it was the only one that I read through issue 10 or so.

Savage Dragon gets the most respect from me though even though it's not up my alley. One writer and artist for all those issues? Impressive.
That should have been my vote.
Yes, though SD is by far not my ...

No love for the Bat?
As I've said before, I don't dislike Batman. I think he's a cool character. I just don't like him in the DCU. But get a well written story, taking place in the Gotham Knights-local verse and illustrated by someone like Olivetti I will buy it up and enjoy it. I think Batman is ...

Let's say you have a title that is so great you know you can get any given publisher to take it...what company, publisher and/or imprint would you go with?

I am something of a comic writer (though nothing professional) and, given my taste for realistic but non-gritty, I would say I would fit in ...

I feel surprised, didn't know a second issue came out. And didn't buy any of either. I'll happily pick of some variants once they bottom out.

Im not even sure i will want them at £1, maybe 50p, lol

I feel you underrate Image. Though the writing (usually) is nothing to compare to early ...

Well, yeah, he has a full-time job there; I just mean that 100% of his output isn't for DC.

Any examples? I'm not aware of any.
Some album work for Daughtry and Image United covers in 2009.
Todd McFarlane says although only 2 (of 6) issues of Image United have been published so far, he has a ...

Ah, I hadn't read that DC had closed the Wildstorm imprint. That's too bad, their Mr. Majestic series was better than Superman for a couple years.
However, Lee has said that there still will be (former) Wildstorm properties published - under the DC imprint.

WS= R.I.P
Actually, DC owns Wildstorm and plans on putting out some titles with the characters from it. And Jim Lee works for DC most of the time these days.

Jim Lee is co-Publisher of DC, so I'd say he pretty much always works there :P
