Comic book pages

So my comic has been pretty much slow lately well the updates and i've plan to one day get a new artist and talk through discord of the pages and outline the pages. But anyways here's the pages of timmy returning back from the trip and coming back home eating with his family before having the affects of the radioactive spider and getting tired even so he would enter the dreams too. 

Hailey talking with denise about how timmy talk to her like that and feeling upset too these are not the final artwork yet only progress being made. Hailey and denise would talk about stuff like boys who they like and denise asking if she has feelings for timmy or not which. Also the thid panel where timm likely is hanging from the ceiling after he wakes up and said the line whoa cool the line from ultimate spider man and i felt why not add that in where he gets the excitment right before that his dreams would become reality. 

Looking forward for more to come i hope. 

 

(UPDATE) The pages are here almost

It came and looks to be good smoothly you could say the pages of spider ghost is here and here it is. 

As i was going through with my artist he ask me about the girl beside olivia which there was a lot of confusion and i had to check and see the script and managed to fixed it and tell him that at the kitchen it's only Teresa and Olivia so surely it was a mistake and tell him it's only teresa olivia aiden and danielle.

The girl beside hailey is unknown i haven't yet name her either and didn't plan to as things got pretty much busy for me maybe sometime later i'll name her. Althought these aren't not yet done but it's likely that more time is gonna need to be needed just in case as i couldn't be more happier with my artist and make sure that everything is going well and always need to check as well so than things don't get confusing before giving the details to the artist. 

Progress on my comic book series

It's been quite two or three months of writing this down of timmy cunningham spider ghost so far but my artist has been busy so far and been trying his best to keep me update on the pages that need little or more polishing or final product or might a little more time too before it's out and i don't have the time to say when it'll be out. 

On top is the final product of timmy chloe bentley shawn and kyle in a musuem as they are working on a school assignment science chemistry accorded to the story that i have written. Down below is timmy getting his camera out and in the science and technology section. 

Much like the part where the radioactive spider bites peter parker in the comics and movies alone this one too on timmy where it bites on his right or left arm maybe no idea i'll have to check and see for myself. The comic sketeh detail down below the same thing like on top and things are slow which i hated but i hope to eventually get the comic out next year or so time will tell. 

At last the cover of Timmy Cunningham Spider Ghost is here.

 

I never thought i say this but the cover of Timmy Cunningham Spider Ghost is here and things are gonna get started. This is a wonderful work from Lixteen who's done a fantastic work and means soon the series will start and maybe we will see in the coming months. I don't know when the first issue will be out i don't want to random pick a day where it'll come out we shall see when next week starts. 

So i readed Image Comics' Transformers and it's Pretty Good

So i made a post talking that i will not read any more comic books and focusly on my own comic book series or other subjects than there was my local comic book store that i decided to check in and talk with the owner(s) and spotted transformers and i wanted to buy it until i said no thanks i'm good but i brought it and heard it's pretty good accorded to one of the employes. i won't give out the spoillers but after hearing everyone saying it's good i couldn't resist and decided to buy it and read for myself obsivous since Transformers went from Marvel Comics Marvel Uk Dreamwave comics and IDW comics only for a reboot that fail to later skybound comics from image to go buy it was something i did not want to buy but i decided to read it and maybe could get in the others one day. 

Progress on TC: SG

 

Okay so Spider Ghost is being work on and lix show me progress being made he show me the white sketch of what it's gonna be like and the pigeons around which reminds me of Infamous Second Son and having Spider Ghost's web swinging around New York City. 

This image without his webs is while the sky behind him is mostly afternoon closer to orange skies and he took this photo back than before adding the webs too. 

It's Being work on when i saw the image i couldn't help but feel excited to see the cover of Spider Ghost being work on and Lix has done a good job with it and seeing how progress is being on is making Timmy Cunningham Spider Ghost to one day become a reality something i want to try something i have work on in high school with old ideas and some made it into TC: SG some did not and were thrown out. With the cover done, we can start doing the pages fingers crossed. Plus one day i could show my drawings and how lix does it better. 

The Rise and Fall of Ultimate Marvel

It's been interesting but very much looking back at the early 2000s whenever it's the movies shows places we remember as kids video games and books you name it but there's one universe that Marvel reimagined before that was a realistic take on the characters which was Spider-Man Iron Man X men Fantastic Four Avengers you name it before it went downhill. 

The Universe was written by different writers so let's begin this topic shall we. 

Background 

In the late 1990s, the US comic book industry had declining sales. Annual combined sales from all publishers, which had been close to a billion dollars in 1993, had declined to 270 million. The bubble that held comic books as valuable collectible items burst. In addition, the poor reception of the Batman & Robin film cast doubts on the prospects of any other comic book cinematic adaption. Marvel Comics went through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, many notable artists left the company, and their rival, DC Comics, topped them in sales.Marvel Comics realized that they need to do something and decided to do heroes reborn and spider man chapter one as a fresh start for a potential universe but they didn't work out instead they had to figure out another idea Brain Michael Benids was approach to write and decided to do his work on Spider Man after Quesada hired him from his indie comic books he thought of teenager heroes, most of the characters were often adults or teenagers the younger adult audience had changed when the release of the matrix. Although X men and Spider-Man are teenagers cause most the heroes were adults and begin discussing the idea with the writers on board. 

Ultimate Marvel Beginnings 

While the imprint of the story of being made Bill James and discussing it with Wizard Magazine and discussing what could be the problem that the readers over the fact it was gonna be seen as a reboot and they know who the characters are instead they decided to try on Ultimate Spider Man and how he start his career as a teenager. They would later try the other characters too. It was than that Brian Michael Bendis was hired by Quesada who did a modern setting for Spider Man and did a narration style he thought of a rewrite on Amazing Fantasy #15 comic (the debut of Spider-Man), in a modern setting. Bendis preferred to avoid that writing style completely. Instead, he changed the narration style, so that it resembled a TV series more than a classic superhero comic book. There were no thought bubbles or long expositions, and the first issue did not feature any superhero costume. The art was created by Mark Bagley, known for his work on Spider-Man and Venom stories in the 1990s. The Bendis/Bagley partnership of 111 consecutive issues made their partnership one of the longest in American comic book history, and the longest run by a Marvel creative team, beating out Stan Lee and Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four

Golden Age 

With the success of Ultimate Spider-Man comics this allow marvel to do their take on Avengers X Men Fantastic four between 2001 and 2004 Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar would write Ultimate X men Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimates. They were really at the peak of the ultmate universe didn't need to worry about earth 616 this was the take that would re-imagine the characters and tell their own stories. But Mark had some issues with x men lore mainly he wasn't familiar with it which i don't blame him. Fantastic Four were re-imagined as teenagers and the avengers were call the ultimates. Iron man was a alcholic Captain America has a rash soldierly personality, Hulk was written as a murderous and cannibalistic monster that kills hundreds of civilians, and Thor was ambiguously introduced as either an actual Norse god (as in the main comics) or a man with stolen weapons and a psychiatric disorder. Nick Fury, originally a caucasian character in the Marvel-616 Universe, was modeled after the actor Samuel L. Jackson, and the new design eventually overshadowed the original one, being incorporated into the mainstream Marvel-616 universe and all new media adaptions of the characters. Brian would fixed the clone saga with issue 107 after fans backlash towards the 90s clone saga wasn't received he would write the symbiote arc that took inspirations from earth 616 symbiote storyline and have eddie brock and peter parker know each other when their dads work together before the plane crash. Daredevil Dr Strange and other characters were brought in and their backstories were different than before. It seems that between 2002-2007 was the golden age of ultimate marvel imagine that today not just that ultimate spider man was enjoying a success in comic book sales and this is where things took it's fate. 

Fall 

Unfortuntely things don't lasted longer behind the scenes at Marvel things weren't too good as Jeph Loep was hired after Bill Jemas was fired and ultimate iron man was received but wasn't really received and instead retcon and this is where the universe was changed ultimates 3 and ultimatum were published between 2008 and 2009 where the event took the worse and killed off the characters oh it also have scarlet witch and quicksilver in a relationship creepy. Now if you don't want to read this feel free to do so but if you want to stay and here more than by oh means. But if ultimates 3 got any weirder and badder scarlet witch is killed by a ultron andriod and the sex scandal between iron man and black widow that was distracting the ultimates. Magneto enraged by his daughter's death leaves to savage land and gets confronted by the utlimates. Hank pym under house areest however hank and his wife would discover the truth on ultron robot that has carried on the idenitiy of yellowjacket and use their teammates dna that duplicates use, hawkeye kills quicksilver and the plot was created none other than Doctor Doom. Yeah this plot was so bad that even the readers wonder why this was neccesary well if you happen to hear this or not, bill jemes was fired in 2004 millar and hitch left ultimate marvel and they decided to create a event that would be a final blow to the universe. If that's not bad enough ultimatum was where everything fall apart and if your favorite character survived or not than prepare for what's coming next, ultimatum kill off it's characters that was angel nightcrawler cyclops polaris emma frost wolverine magneto blob dr strange toad daredevil moon knight beast you name it all of those characters that the ultimate universe were all gone and the mutant gene wasn't born that the mutants would have instead a super soldier project that didn't work and quicksilver happens to be alive. 

This was a disaster for Ultimate Marvel and ultimate spider man managed to do well in sales but sadly the universe wasn't really same after 2009 the universe was relaunched in to Ultimate Comics but never really capture the golden age of ultimate marvel line as Spider man in this universe would be killed off and replace by miles morales and the universe was rarely around before it's end in 2015 call secret wars. 

Legacy 

To be honest when looking back at Ultimate Marvel it really seem like that they had some much potential and creating their own storytelling and didn't need to worry about retcons nor how earth 616 contiunity. I recall reading their comics around 2008-2009 this was around Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum but never got to read it after hearing how bad it is even ign highlight it that you heard before, i readed ultimate spider man comics they were part of my childhood and would readed them during my second year at high school it was after ultimatum and death of spider man comic. After secret wars in 2015 show the universe was over but still existed i thought that was the end of it both comics were mention in a top 10 worst marvel comics list which i recall watching back in september 2015, it would have been in that in 2018 i watch owen likes comics videos on the universe how it's rise and fall. They live through the golden age and seeing it gotten worse and ultimate spider man trying to live on and reaching 150 and peter parker dying until he was reveal to be alive. But they would be a inspiration towards the marvel cinematic universe their characters and storyline would be in marvel's shows and movies with their recent comic out maybe it could come back to it's golden age. 

Here are Timmy's Friends

All Star and Earth One (DC)

DC Comics hasn't had a good time when it comes to telling alternative universe stories with Marvel Comics telling their stories with Ultimate Marvel that had success like Ultimate Spider-Man Ultimate Fantastic Four Ultimates X-Men and Ultimates. Dc saw this and want to do something with their characters with ones like Batman Superman Wonder Woman Etc. 

DC Want to give a try however with so many delays leadership creative control and issues being unmade they were at a difficult crossroads. Now i would have loved to see DC try to make an AU Take like Marvel did before, but they try with two tries but never got to where marvel did with ultimate marvel. 

All Star (2005-2008) 

All-StarAll-Star line first start with All-Star Superman written by Grant Morrison and Artwork done by Frank Quitely the series received positive feedback. That was the first attempt to tell a different take on the character itself and widely praised by fans and critics alike. 

However the series would never have a sequel following the disasterous all star batman and robin written by frank miller and art by jim lee. 

They were gonna do Jon Stewart Green Lantern Batgirl and Wonder Woman however never got off the ground only for them to be cancelled as Geoff Johns J. G Johns Adam Hughes Brian Azzarello Cliff Chiang were unable to work on them and busy on different series at the time. Leading for the series to be canceled and replace by another. 

Earth One (2010-2020) 

Just after The failure of all star line DC announced Earth One and the graphic novels that would be release in 2010 such as Superman Earth One Batman Earth one and released between October 2010 and July 2012 for the release date of the dark knight rises. The series featuring re-imagined and modernized versions of the company's superhero characters from the DC Universe. Those characters include Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Teen Titans, as well as others whose characteristics and origin stories are revised and altered to suit the 21st-century audience. Unlike the original DC Universe in comic books, the shared universe has yet to cross over its common plot elements, settings, and characters. The reality of Earth One is designated as Earth-1 as part of the DC Multiverse. Around that period Volume two of Superman Earth one was confirmed along with batman earth one's additional volumes back in October. Wonder Woman Earth One Volume One was in developed in the next couple of years between 2013-2016 Teen Titans Earth one was released back in November 2014 Superman earth one V3 was out in February 2015. While dc was trying to release them the creators behind the scenes took longer with making the series with delays like Batman Earth One v2 that was being postponed. Graphic Novels for Flash and Aquaman were yet to come out and being developed and written by Francis Manapul and J. Michael Straczynski who happened to write Superman Earth One series. 

Teen Titans Earth One V2 was released between in April and August 2016 at that time Wonder Woman Earth One was released the too in 2016. Just as the series was thought to be done only to get revived in July 2017 that was Green Lantern Hal Jordan received his graphic novel that was released the next year in March 2018 before Wonder Woman Earth One Volume 2. Oddly enough Teen Titans Earth One felt like the reimagined of the x men or runaways. But Volume 3 was expected to be announced and later debut and get pushback because of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's work on DC Rebirth and Doomsday Clock. Yet Volume 2 of Green Lantern Earth One was supposed to be release but got a delayed release for August 2020 while that Volume 3 of Batman and Wonder Woman Earth One were released between March 2021 and June 2021, in a pre-recording video from DCfandome, Jim lee dc current publisher and CCO told that more graphic novels are in development however with so many delays in January 2021 DC to cancelled Aquaman Earth One and Manapul left the company and the project was abandoned. So after Dc Earth one was having a hard time with it's Schedule that Jim Lee told that Dc are still publishing Earth One series being not a super regular schedule and because the creators were given enough time to tell their stories and when they finish the project they can expect to take them package the comics and deliver them. This was reason why they were trying to do original graphic novels and taking enough time to have them ready wanting to be selective that dc as producing and reach the widest audience. 

Legacy 

All Star and Dc Earth One had a lot of potential when they were telling stories and i did readed all star superman from grant morrison and out of continuity story where it takes inspiration from classic superman stories in the past and saying that it could be part of fran miller's all star batman and robin series which felt pretty odd and with jim lee busy on wildstorm series and other writers and publishers busy due to schedule conflicts that led the series to be replaced. As for DC Earth one series, i think that when looking back at DC Earth One series they were to be like Marvel's Ultimate Series that they miss the point that was due to the creators writers and artists who know how to tell a story write the characters and craft it together and given enough time to make them and have brought on creators who didn't know about the lore like Ultimate X men that Mark Millar had admit to it before and never reading a x men comic. Dc Earth One had trouble with their schedule and not getting other well known creators who know about the source materials and wouldn't have written themselves and getting it together. The series want to update and revised the stories in a modern story telling after Dc All Star line try to revamp the characters that they show Bruce Wayne being a inexperience in his first year as Batman. The Teen titans are no longer sidekick superheroes instead are subject experiments by S.T.A.R Labs and Lex Luthor is reimagined as a married couple rather than being just one man. With it's fair share of trying revamp and re-imagining of the characters it's ashame that their first attempt had it's ups and downs let's hope they can try again. Perhaps i'll read their stories and give out my thoughts on it.
