Almost had a heart attack opening this substack wondering if the results were going to be posted. I haven’t felt that kind of “did I make it” burst of energy since high school

They gave us just enough knowledge to be dangerous. I can't wait to see what everyone came up with. Far-out, galaxy-shifting concepts or intimate slice of life stories? High-tech heists? Magical murders? Game of Thrones intrigue? What kind of stories will we get?

Man alive, this gets the heart pumping, huh? Before I opened the link to read this my mind vacillated at lightning speed between “holy shit this is it my comics career will finally happen after all the scripts and almosts and false starts ahhh” and “well, time to read a rejection letter, be sad for a sec, then get back to the drawing board, oh well!”

What an exciting thing to be a part of, and what a lovely community to share it with!

Cheers, everyone!

So exciting! Looking forward to seeing who made the cuts. Also, and this might be repeating myself, but you think for those of us not very familiar with the script writing process, might get another example from you about what we should be looking to do for our outlines? The Ex you gave for the pitch was very insightful, and I feel this will help others as well.

Looking forward to seeing what the next few months bring us all.

Best of luck to everyone!

So excited to see all this play out even if I’m not selected. Watching something go from a pitch to a complete comic all while being constantly revised based on notes will be so cool!
