I posted this at Proj's Ideastorm site, but I haven't gotten any responses. I figure it'll get a bit more exposure here.
I want to finally try my hand at writing and drawing a comic. I'm doing an Authority one-shot, roughly 30-40 pages. When it's finally finished (God knows how long it will end up taking), I'll post it. For now, I'm going to be posting my progress on developing a story, script-writing, plotting and art, and possibly inking this thing. Hopefully I can get some good feedback and finetune it enough so that it doesn't turn out too ****ty.
I'll start off with a rough plot description. If you aren't caught up on The Authority or if you'd rather wait and read the finished product, go no further.
"Homecoming" (that's a working title, by the way) takes place about a week after the end of "Revolution". Everyone is settling back in and adjusting to everything being pretty much back to normal after 3 years of being apart.
Jenny Quantum is making a move on the new Doctor, but he's not into it. He comes from a very religious and moral background and he's both scared and embarassed by Jenny's forward advances. After Jenny asks him if "he's still going to **** her", Habib walks out.
Unsurprisingly, Jack has already slept with Rose Tattoo. He talks with Swift about the Engineer. She's been missing for 2 or 3 days and they're beginning to get worried. It turns out she was in the core, trying to train the new Carrier. She calls a team meeting to explain what's wrong. The Carrier is acting strangely and reluctantly, like an abused spouse. Angie thinks that Bendix did something to her, but The Carrier would only say that they need to find her "soul". Jenny is the first one to realize that The Carrier's soul is the baby universe that powers it.
Jenny examines the universe from the outside and does indeed believe that Bendix did something to it. She explains that every universe has a soul. A sort of personality created by the energies of the living things that reside within it. The soul of this baby universe seems to be scared and intimidated.
Jenny decides that she, Habib, and Angie will shrink to nano-size and venture into the baby universe.
Inside they encounter the sole planet within the universe and it's sentient inhabitants. They also meet the opressing thing that is keeping the universe scared. The details of what the universe, it's inhabitants and the oppressor are one of the things I still need to work out. While exploring, Angie notices that Jenny and Habib are uncomfortable around each other. Jenny tells Angie what happened and Angie gives her some advice about taking things slowly for once.
They manage to fight the oppressing force and exorcise it from the baby universe, but this means that they unleash it into The Carrier. Jenny, Angie, and Habib still have business inside the universe and Apollo, Midnighter, Jack, Swift and Rose are left to take care of what they let out. None of them can stop it's rampage and it becomes clear that it's trying to get out, when they suddenly receive some unexpected help.
The Carrier births a humanoid embodiment of itself that can turn into anything it wants. Think The Engineer but with shapeshifting abilities, telepathy, and no soft squishy human inside.
While this is going on, the rest of the team escapes but finds a whole new problem to deal with. Bendix put in a fail-safe so that when the thing he put in the baby universe is removed, the universe will start growing at an accelerated pace. Jenny and Habib must join their powers and fix this before it breaks free of it's cage and destroys everything. They soon find that-like how The Carrier is anchored to Earth but can go anywhere-Bendix anchored the baby universe to an alternate universe where time moves faster. Jenny and Habib manage to disanchor it, while The Carrier's new form destroys the thing they let loose.
After they're done, Habib kisses Jenny and all the adults do the pre-requisate "Aw isn't that sweet?" reaction.
Right now, I'm trying to decide what The Carrier's new body should be like. It's cool that it can create this avatar of itself, but the team already has a robot chick. I'm thinking that when it's not shapeshifting, it can take the form of a sort of robot dog. The Authority finally gets a pet.
I'll have to work this all out tonight.
What do you guys think?
