More splutterings at Dreams of creativity along with a resolution

"The truth is, that it is not the Jewish banking conspiracy or the grey aliens or the 12 foot reptiloids from another dimension that are in control. The truth is more frightening, nobody is in control. The world is rudderless."

Alan Moore - being his brilliant self

I'd love to write a superhero comic book, obviously my utter ineptitude with a pencil would make me drawing anything literally impossible. I would love to examine several themes including LGBTQ heroes, religious characters (i.e. Lucifer and God), alternate realities - both fictional (e.g. What if MJ had been bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter?) and non-fictional (e.g. What if Britain had kept it's empire?), the inherent fascist nature of superheroes, less muscles.
I could combine the ideas of this with my previous post about being creative and create a dystopian world of superheroes, ("Happiness is a prison, Evey. Happiness is the most insidious prison of all." -V in V for Vendetta) scenes could be portrayed entirely in CCTV. My instinct is to have the state hunting down those with superpowers but that seems so obvious I almost want to avoid it. Perhaps someone telling the fascist Superman that "Only the weak succumb to brutality", oooh how dreadfully clever. That was sarcasm, still maybe the state propaganda could involve many quotes from superheroes that seems cruel and oppressive when in this new context.
Of course, if I had a comic about superheroes, I would be duty bound to have characters called Bruce Brown and Mary Rose. I think a character called Emma Reeves would be good, it's a good name with no-one too significant attached to it (Reeves of course coming from the old protagonist Christopher). Maybe Christopher Cameron, perfect for inherently fascistic heroes.


I really wish I could draw. Still, wishing wont make it so; doing will. I will practice with the aim of becoming vaguely capable using this list (which has been sitting around on my computer for a long time):

The worst that can happen is that I do some better diagrams in exams!
