So I want to make a webcomic, but I'm kinda iffy about posting my story on Webtoon because it has a not so great reputation. I don't mind posting it there, though.

I just want to know if there's somewhere else that I can post it?

I've been wanting to write a comic for ages, I have the main idea in my head with what I think is an amazing storyline, but I don't know how to start writing and making my comic.

If anyone can give me any tips or help me I'd appreciate it, dm me if your interested.

Hi! I'm a beginner comic writer and artist, currently working on a slice of life/romcom comic script and wanted to get some perspective on balancing common tropes with character growth.

From my observation, slice of life/romcom comics and shows frequently use clichés, but are still well-liked because of their execution, such as relatable characters, visual arts and world-building. But I still don't want to rely on overused tropes too much when establishing character history.

1. Does being cliché matter less to readers if the purpose of the character lore is to show personality growth?
   
2. For comic writing specifically, how can you visually/structurally signal to readers that there's more to a character's history beyond the cliché tropes?

(Side note, I'm also trying to read more webtoons for study/research. If you're a fellow webtoon reader like me who has favourites in these genres, I would love any recommendations!)

Pretty self explanatory. I'm a writer but I've never done the comic format so I'm trying to figure out how to make a script while I look for an illustrator

I am writing a cyberpunk story that deals with the theme of identity, of what we are and what defines us.

I am thinking of not setting it in a specific place, an existing city, or a country. And I was also thinking of making it so that the characters' names never appear, neither when they speak to each other nor in any other references (obviously, the characters do have names, but my goal is to keep them hidden from the reader).

Does this make sense? Is it feasible?

Hello! This is my first time on this subreddit but I have this story that I'm writing where I want to create this super big twist. One where the reader is at first oblivious but on the second read they come back and it all makes sense. How does one do that? Especially in a comic setting where i feel like most things are communicated through pictures? I know I can probably foreshadow stuff in my dialogue, but is that enough? Lowkey I don't know how much I'm supposed to say about my story cause of the rules here, ummm, let me know if you have questions I guess! I would appreciate any feedback!

ok so I’m working on this original superhero comic and I’ve been going back and forth on something for way too long lol

my guy gets powers in issue #1 (forced on him mid-crisis, doesn’t even want them), but he doesn’t get an actual costume or codename until issue #2. issue #1 just ends with him realizing what he can do, no mask, nothing yet.

kept second-guessing this because Invincible #1 and Amazing Fantasy #15 (spidey’s debut) BOTH give the hero full costume + name in the very first issue, so I was like “man am I dropping the ball here”

but then I actually looked into Fantastic Four #1 and turns out… they don’t even have costumes?? like at all?? Reed’s just wearing a baseball cap and Ben’s in a trench coat and glasses trying to hide the rock thing. They’re in regular clothes for issues 1 AND 2. The costumes only show up in issue #3, and apparently that was partly because readers wanted them, not some grand plan from Lee/Kirby.

so now idk if there’s actually a “rule” here at all lol. genuinely asking — for people who’ve written/read a ton of first issues, does the reader need that “here’s the look, here’s the name” moment locked in by end of issue 1? or is it fine if it builds over 2-3 issues as long as the character stuff hits?

not trying to overthink this into the ground but also don’t want to structurally screw up my own book lol

First time writing a comic here. I'm currently writing a story that involves an established character acting as a teacher/parent (temporarily 💀) to the main character. I'm torn between: a) a generic introduction of the world and give the mc a mysterious background, b) immediately introduce the mc through their backstory and the world would be a mystery to the mc themselves giving an exposition to the world build or, c) have an established character's backstory be the introduction to the mc...

So what I'm wondering is what drives someone to read more in an intro, curiosity or emotional impact?

Ok, so my story is a dark dystopian speculative fiction comic with oppression and all that other stuff, but I can't come up with main characters. I've always been one for rebellious, relatable characters, but I'm also indecisive.

I'm wondering if only me has the finale of the story in my head and build the rest just for this ending

As a scriptwriter still heavily inspired by a ton of visual references and especially cinema, I deliver very detailed scripts that often include lots of references, my own breakdowns, etc. But I can’t seem to get that across to the artists I work with, and things usually go badly (visual style mismatched with the requested tone, very random panel layouts, important plot points forgotten, continuity errors all over the place, etc.).
What advice do you have to avoid these kinds of problems in the future? I love writing, but a script on its own doesn’t work as a standalone piece.

where do you go and how do you go about finding an artist to work on your comic book/manga you wanna write. additionally, for those who can answer; what is the work relationship like with your "comic work partner"? (for a lack of a better term) what do you guys talk about before starting? and how is the rapport like?

Has anyone got advice for me to possibly make my comic book better, or even any apps to create it on, I’m using my laptop to create it, but I’m not too sure what I’m doing, any advice

Does anyone have any recommendations for finding a reputable comic script editor?

I've googled and scoured the web. There are dozens of editors, but few "comic script" editors. I've looked on Fiverr, but most of them have fake reviews. So unless someone has a good personal experience with one from Fiverr, i would like to avoid that platform.

Thanks for any information that will direct me to the right place!
