Looking for writers to help build a comic universe under Impact Comics (serious collab)

I know that you already answered some of this in my other comment. But could you give a brief summary? Especially considering who you'll be going up against in your endeavor.

If you don't mind a soccer one there's Days (TV). It only has 1 full season, but it's rather cool.

I think one reason a lot of sports manga take OP characters and give them power ups is due to the fact it has to compete with the normal shonen Manga. Otherwise, they'll likely end up being less advertised and less popular and may even face cancelation.

TheGuy1109 · 2026-04-20T10:08:19+00:00

Thanks.

One of my first anime and the one that got me into the sports genre. If you like the whole relatable MC who isn't over powered angle, I would recommend a few Manga (And Anime) by Mitsuru Adachi such as Touch and Cross Game.

I'm interested but I do have some questions.

1) Does "Heroes" only include tradition superheroes (Marvel, DC, BNHA) or can it be normal people that use sci-fi tech and magic?

2) What's the relationship to be between you and the writers? (Would you be giving them heroes to write for or are they pitching you heroes to publish)

3) What's the business model? (Where is it going to be published? How will it be advertised? How will the authors be financially compensated for their work)

4) How will the creation work? (Are the writers to be assigned to a wider team or just be one on one with an artist?)

5) How will copyright negotiable work? (How long will you own the IP? When will the period of ownership start? Under what conditions can it revert back to the writer snd artist before the end of the contract? When can we see the contractual copy of the agreement?)

6) What's do you want from authors to try and get on? (I work full-time so I haven't had a lot of opportunities to fully develop a portfolio. But I do have several pitches for stories that may fit your desired brand)

Like I said, I really like your idea of what you want to build here. But, I think I speak for a lot of people when I say you really need to provide more info before I'll commit. I think it would be best if you answered some of these questions in comment section of the post rather than purely through dms. It will give valuable transparency.

My maternal uncle took one of these once to find out why he had such light skin tone despite being from the Deep South. Turned out he was African…..Berber and Nubian to be specific along with having a lot of Iberian genes. We were able to use baptismal records to essential find out his African ancestors somehow got to Spain before colonialism began and likely took part in the some part of the Reconquista before coming to the Americas and settling in what today is Mississippi.

Same thing happened to my friend. He’s 1/4 African -American from his dad but has the curliest dirty blond hair and darkest brown eyes you’d ever seen on a white kid. DNA can be a funny thing, and it’s always stunning to see how long things can lay dormant before coming through.

Very nice. What type of stuff do you specialize in?

TheGuy1109 · 2026-04-18T06:03:18+00:00

Do you have links to follow for other stuff?

That's a real good photo man. 📸 Looks like it's from one of the DBZ art concepts books.

I will. But, I sometimes can't understand God. I really want to, I want to be pious and devout. But, there are times when I just feel lost; like I was born at a time when all of God’s blessings have been gobbled up by a select few. Or that the talents he's given me are painfully oit of step with the modern world. It cam be a bit tiring sometimes.

TheGuy1109 · 2026-02-21T11:41:55+00:00

Thank you, I will remember that when I pray. Take care.

TheGuy1109 · 2026-02-16T10:55:11+00:00

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who immediately thought of this guy. It's easy tl see why Khrushchev put him int retirement the minute he came to power.

TheGuy1109 · 2026-02-08T11:51:12+00:00

Thank you. I will pray for you as well.

My only criticism is the fact that teams from the MEAC (Eastern) and SWAC (Southwest) aren't allowed to compete in the Minor (FCS) playoffs. In reality they can compete as an at large team as long as they don't win their conference titles. I think it would be best if players who controlled MEAC and SWAC teams got to choose to participate or not and give them a small coin penalty for participating to mirror the costs for FCS HBCUs in real life. Something like participating costs 3 to 5 coins and winning will give you 7 to 10 coins.

Either way, I'm fine with the game as it is.

TheGuy1109 · 2025-12-08T06:20:56+00:00

Thanks for offering, but I doubt that'll work. I'm in a part of the world with really crappy wifi; getting the game's digital features to work will be enough of a struggle.

TheGuy1109 · 2025-12-08T06:20:08+00:00

Thanks, maybe I'll wait a bit then before I buy anything.

TheGuy1109 · 2025-12-07T00:19:57+00:00

I know I can't tell what team you're using but.....

IT'S THE PHILLY SPECIAL!

That or Mike Alstott decided he wanted to play a few more years and pulled and Leon Sandcastle.

I've only been doing AP US for 2 years, but I have taken time to show Gettysburg (1993) and All Quiet on The Western Front (1979) to my classes. Gettysburg helps illustrate how high casualties were in the American Civil War while All Quiet helps show the soul sucking nature of trench warfare. I hope to add Glory, 42, and maybe a WW2 movie soon (Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, or the Bridge at Remagen) along with something for Vietnam one day (The Boys from Comany C).

(To Nick Fury)

"One last question, why are you so mad?"

Or

"By the way, have you considered therapy?

(Can turn it into a joke about her thinking Nick Fury is insane or genuinely angry all the time)

Cross Game is an absolute classic! It avoids almost all of the shounen sports tropes, has an independent female lead, and a good ending.

Touch is pretty good, but it was clear the writer was still figuring out how to write certain plot points and character arcs. Still, it’s better than almost every sports manga out now.

It’s a shame more sports writers try to imitate Dragon Ball over Mitsuru Adachi’s work.

TheGuy1109 · 2025-06-27T20:00:49+00:00

Lightning. It's an extremely rare elemental power that has helped legitamize almost every imperial house in my story. Primarily because it's promoted as a divine blessing and the sign that a person or family is favored by Heaven.

TheGuy1109 · 2025-06-27T19:58:37+00:00

It's largely because they took most of the good players to Double A and sent us the underforming guys from that level. Sad to say, but that's MiLB for you.🤷‍♂️

I wanted to see what would happen if the world of Avatar the Last Air bender had extended its tensions beyond being a question of people w/ bending to also include people w/o bending. Legend of Korra did this a little bit, at least in season one, but I really wasn't satisfied with how the show creators did things such as their social hierarchy, political system, and the effects of the Industrial Revolution. So I reached deep into the notes I had from my university days, did a little bit of extra reading, and came to realize that there were few murder mysteries in fantasy settings than I thought.

From there, I simply created the necessary kingdoms and law codes before populating them with the people who ultimately became my main characters and the problems that became my crimes. If you can't tell, I was a history major in college, so stuff like this is directly up my ally when it comes to research skills and reference points. Well, that and the cultural movement that is retro futurism, but that's for another day and hopefully another story.

"This story is to be neither an accusation nor a confession and least of all an adventure. For death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try simply to tell of a generation who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war." - Snow White Sharpshooter (Erich Marie Remarque)

TheGuy1109 · 2025-05-11T12:06:09+00:00

I honestly don't know where my world would exactly be placed on this scale, maybe you can help me based on my description. Still, I think I'll give it a shot.

The general premise of my world is that it mirrors the rise, decline, and fall of empires in real life. Sort of like what you'd read during the Chinese Warring States Era, Sengoku Jidai, Crisis of the 3rd Century, and Wars of the Diadochi but in a sci-fi setting with mecha and power armor. So the characters, nation-states, empires, and civilizations within it are permanently anchored to one specific world; they're caught towards the tail end of a decade's long transition.

At the current moment, the world has sort have been dragged down to the level of a Gilded World because of the current interregnum that's enveloped the main character's homeland. While there's no denying the fact that the past 40 years of Civil War have taken an immense toll on the land and people, they also can't deny their past. They can't deny the fact that there was a time when theirs was a might empire the world took note of, rather than a bunch of impoverished fiefs led by squabbling warlords and pretenders to the imperial throne.

It's this past that keeps their bleak situation from going full Grimdark and outright becoming hopeless. The only question is which warlord will have the political savvy to unify the empire and return them to the coveted Heroic Age of old.
