Now, who doesn't like comics? You got words, pictures, some slamming action and a good story if it's done right.
Now when it comes to MAKING comics, however, you got yourself one hell of a battlefield, depending oh how you're going about it. I'm only new and still researching the works of how to go about doing these "Pictorial Wonderlands", so there's still plenty of things I don't know yet.
If your in a group, and let's say your the Penciller... You gotta talk to the Writer, Editor, play back and forth, and when the comic moves down the congo line of production, you got some square dancing that happens until the Writer and Editor are satisfied with how the dance came out and stop the music to go and publish it.
If you're working alone, like how I am with my personal project, then (to me) it seems a bit easier in terms of progress and straightforward, except a whole lot of work on one or two people.
But it's nice to know the system. As I read in this one book I found "Comics: from Start to Finish," the author mentions a popular symbology from The Matrix movie, Red Pill or Blue Pill. You take the pill to know more, you ruin the magic. But there's always something beyond that.
Yes you might ruin the illusion, but then you know the truth and can push those limitations.
At least that's how I see it anyway.
