I'm writing a comic book script; Has anyone else ever done this? Any tips or suggestions?

It's based on a series of movie trailers that me and some friends made over the past year about this group of friends who encounter a mob boss who has the power to bring the dead back to life and have to battle him and his demon necromancer sons. Sort of.

I liked that story when it was called cliche.

i've never seen the goon or casablanca.

never seen GOONIES?

oh i thought the goon was goonies WAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAH

check me out. the anti nerd.

Many of the "Powers" trade paperbacks have the original scripts printed with linernotes and "commentary" so you can see how they got from the writer's ideas and pacing to the finished product.

There's basically two ways you can go with this:

Full Script -- a panel-by-panel description, with dialogue, of your story.

Plot First (also known as "Marvel Style") -- You generate the plot and page breakdown, the artist draws it according to what you've fed him/her, and you add the dialogue later.

A more in-depth discussion of scripting, and other issues you may want to consider in this project, can be found here:

it is a f ull script, it's just very very detailed in many respects, and there are of course panel specifications. it's just a bit more tech-heavy, but actually has been formatted more or less like a movie screenplay

Didn't I give you the first Powers collection when I made all my comics disappear?

Right. I might need those back. Times are hard, you know.

Also, if you play up more of the silliness of the necromancer story I think it would make for a better book. The first dates one was the most enjoyable of all the videos you guys did by far.
