Seeking comic reviewers.  I am the comics editor at hollywoodjesus.com. Presently, I get comics from Image/Top Cow, Red 5, TopShelf, and occasionally Boom Studios.  You also have free reign to submit reviews of any comics not on the list.  The reviews is looking at the mainstream with a spiritual point of view.

 

If you love comics, and would like to review, you can contact me at domininaldo1981@gmail.com

That goes both ways bro, if you ever need help with something let me know.

No prob! I'm glad it was helpful. Hopefully by year's out I'll be able to send out a script of a mini-comic and get some feedback myself. If I can help support in any other way, let me know.

Hey Josue,

 

Thanks for sharing your work! I'll preface this by saying that I'm new to scripting as well, and trying to learn the ropes as I work on my first comic. Here's a few general thoughts on the script:

 

(1) Overall I think you're off to a good start. I think your scripting format works well, and you give good information in your panel descriptions.I'm interested in what's going on, and where you're taking the characters.

 

(2) In terms of the dialogue, I would suggest maybe breaking up some of the characters' speaking parts. I think some places you may want to consider doing this is with the kid's words in panel 2 of the first page, and some of Derek and Bret's speaking parts.

 

(3) Make sure to edit the scripts for spelling and grammatical errors. Aside from the few spelling and punctuation issues, It seems like the word "not" may be missing from the panel 5 description on page 1 (i.e., should it read "trying not to get dragged by the monster?").

 

Just a few thoughts. God's blessings on your comic, and I hope this helps.

 

P.S. I find this very helpful when working on my scripts. I'm sure you will as well:

Right now i am trying to get all of my stories in a "Treatment" type of organization.  That includes gathering all my notes out of my various writing journals, and all the stuff I have on my laptop, and get my stories together.  I like to cross genre's in my stories.  Usually, I like to have a secondary character be a Christian and have him/her lead by example and lead the main character to Christ or conversion--or even towards serious contemplation on why become a Christian.  They find out that the prayer, or life example of their friend, convinces them to either convert or not.  That is usually the secondary story line.  God is always the solution, but not everybody comes to the same conclusion.

Hello Paul, it's nice to meet you! What are you working on?
Paul Allan Frederick Comment by Paul Allan Frederick on July 14, 2011 at 4:11pm

Hello to you all, I have joined the writers group hoping to share and commune with other Christian writers.  That sounds a little stiff.  It is not meaning to be.

CCAS at Comic-Con

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011

In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.

Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
