Arachnae Comic Series

Hello fellow Champions, I'd like to take the time to introduce a upcoming comic series I'm making called, Arachnae. Now its not with real artwork or anything of the sort its just me taking screenshots of my in-game character, Arachnae and forming a story with her. The synopsis of the series is main character Ashlee Evans going down the path to being a hero and learn that there is actually way more to wearing just a colorful costume, mask, and cool namesake. The series will also dive into Ashlee's mysterious origins of her parents after learning a dark secret shrouded from her for a very long time and what she finds out may surprise her and where her powers come from.

Ashlee is also quite young, being only sixteen and still has a lot to learn before finally adding the 'super' to 'hero' and dropping the 'vigilante' status as she is still being called a vigilante who is reckless and possesses no kinds of responsibility. Below you will find the 1st issue, though I did screw up a bit when making it but it holds nothing special besides introducing you to the character and who she is. If you do take the time to read it I apologize for the horrible way it looks and I will try to fix it next issue. Lastly, again this first issue is to just introduce you to the character so that will explain why the issue is so short. Thank you and I hope you will enjoy the series.

    Nice work. Some funny exposition, reminds me of Boris the Bear and Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters.

    You can probably use more large panels, so your text doesn't over power the images.
    Type /renderscale 2 in the chat before taking screenshots for higher resolution files.
    Set it back to 1 if you don't want to lag while doing other things.

    The green text boxes were a little weird. Stick to black on white unless there's some reason for a colored text box like "this is computer text", or "I"m raging with green energy!" or "i'm a ghost, not a man in a mask" or something like that.

    What do you make the comics in?

    Some of the text reflows outside of the boxes. Is that a side effect some kind of PDF export?
    Text reflow used to thwart most of my pdf exports.
    Might be a button to press to make sure the fonts get embedded?
    Or maybe it can rasterize everything?

    Keep at it.

    I make the comics in Microsoft PowerPoint and the green text boxes were to just indicate that these were unfriendly ARGENT scientists talking. I try to color code characters text boxes with either their color scheme or will revert to the standard white and black if more then one character shares the same color scheme. While making the comics in PowerPoint it looks ENTIRELY different from the final thing, everything looks cleaner and a lot more neater compared to final upload, the font even looks readable unlike the final thing here. I need to get back to my friend @Novarockz and get some more insight on how to make this a bit spiffy so that not everything is a strain on the reader's eyes.

    Going to do things a little different this time and kick off Volume 2 of Arachnae with a #0 issue which will give you a better character introduction then issue 1 did.

    Arachnae #11: Calamity Tie-In

    The Long-awaited Arachnae issue #11. Due to the timing and how long it took for this issue to come out, It sets place before Infinite Enforcers #4/Calamity Part 2. Basically showing some of Arachnae's side of the story while also picking up where issue 10 left off.
