DECOMPRESSED 025: THE YOUNG AVENGERS AFTERPARTY PODCAST

kierongillen:

Finally edited up the panel from last year’s Thought Bubble where almost all the creators in the afterparty issues all gathered together to talk about the process. 

You can download the podcast from over here, which includes the shownotes and slides and similar.

Looking forward to listening to this ! Hopefully they include my question about the teens “ getting off with each other ” !

The Noh-Varr Story I Could Never Tell

kierongillen:

I’m often asked about what limits Marvel put on doing Young Avengers. Basically, very little, because I had a pretty good idea of what would fly and what wouldn’t. If it wouldn’t, I wouldn’t try and it. 

So, I would never do this story idea, for reasons that will become immediately obvious. But I’ve alluded to it a few times, and said I’d let it into the wild when the run was over… so here it is.

NSFW or anyone who doesn’t like bleaching their brain.

drwdsv asked: How do your write comic scripts?

mattfractionblog:

It depends on the book and the artist. And even then the tone, content, flow, and choice of stuff I write varies wildly. If it’s Chaykin, and it’s SATELLITE SAM, it looks like this:

EDIT: this is because Howard wants what’s called a FULL SCRIPT. He wants me to guide him and offer visual notes and to see where my cutter’s instinct finds edits and beats. Then he either executes or improves upon those ideas. Allred and Bags were the same way; i was SURE Doc would want Plot/Marvel Style (as it was the King’s fashion) but no. 

If it’s David, and it’s HAWKGUY, it looks like this, EDIT because it’s PLOT STYLE and i learned on IRON FIST to SHUT UP and GET OUT OF DAVID’S WAY:

if it’s an action scene in the middle of an issue, anyway. 

All of that is predicated on knowing what happens in a given issue, and what the issue is about, which are two different things, obvious as that may sound. and that starts with a lot of thinking and thinking and thinking. and that thinking becomes a vague list. there’s more thinking and the list gets added to and rearranged and taken apart and rebuilt and slowly starts to resemble an outline. Those look like lists numbered 1-20, with varying degrees specific data written after each, indicating the rough beat that must be served on the page and ideas of how to do it. Once i get to a place where that all seems to make linear sense i turn it into the above.
