If a tree falls in an abandoned spaceship, does it make a sound?
Gone tells the story of a spaceship where all of the crew have disappeared. Waking up after many years of hibernation, the AssistA robot must piece together the mystery of the missing people, and try to get the ship away from the phenomenon just outside the window. But all is not as it seems, and AssistA is not as alone as it thinks it is…
Welcome to Gone.
Today is not a good day for Hope Martinez.
Waking in a strange bed, with a not so strange body laying lifeless in the corridor, she panics. Disorientated and confused about the previous night’s events, Hope runs, but only so far as the black Limo waiting for her outside, and its mysterious driver who offers her a job she may not be able to refuse… gather the sinners.
Well, being a writer (or just having it as your hobby) is great fun. The last few days I’ve had the arduous task of reading graphic novels in order to come up with an in-universe short comic. This is for the Millarworld Challenge which is asking writers to come up with a short story (around 4 or 5 pages) within the Mark Millar universe.
The options are:
So, having bought the Kick-Ass trades at the weekend (how much??!!) and also the Kingsman book, I’ve been working my way through them.
I’m part way through Kick-Ass 3 at the moment, and whilst it’s as violent as I thought it was, I’m enjoying the series. I’m leaning towards doing a Hit-Girl story, so need to buy the Hit-Girl trade (they didn’t have it!) so I can be sure I have the character down right, and am not duplicating any ideas.
Really, there can’t be any easier things to have to study for a competition than comics!
I’d encourage you all to enter – such chances in the writing industry are few, more so in the comics one!
Good luck and Kick-Ass!
