Syzygy1 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 So I've been thinking about this since yesterday... I kinda wanna create a Hanna-Barbera esque animated series based on Atari 2600 games. It'll be partially based on the Atari Force, but with new characters, each hailing from a world based on a game. All the worlds are in a shared universe, and the main characters form a team to fight evil. I'm looking for writers to help me flesh out this series. Those of you who are good writers, help! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithbk Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I'll try to lend a hand. I wrote a comic series, "The Peregrin Chronicles," currently available on Comixology and in physical form here: http://www.whona.com/PEREGRIN-CHRONICLES_c_234.html Edited January 6, 2020 by keithbk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I GET THAT OMG So I kinda created the main team. Jake Jupiter is an expert pilot and the leader of the team. Fa Liu is a Chinese girl who grew up in a military family. She's the smartest in the team. Brandon Mercury is an African-American man who trained himself to peak physical condition. He's the strongest in the team. Camila Lopez is a Latino girl who's the newcomer to the team. She has Jake show her the ropes on various things. Zell is an alien hailing from L-5 (as you may know from the game Encounter at L-5.) He disguises as a human named Zack. And their team pet Irata, an alien kind of dog they found on a distant planet. So far, I intend to adapt Gravitar (introducing the villain Gravitar), Fantastic Voyage, Yar's Revenge, and more. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christo930 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Can we get some good looking characters like Dominique and Rebel from Alt*Hero? Comics have absolutely nosedived in the last few years and the industry is collapsing. The art is terrible and the characters are ugly, unlike Rebel, shown below. Edited January 26, 2020 by christo930 It said the opposite of what I wanted it to say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Van Sciver is Comicsgate. Comicsgate is promising to keep politics out of comics while Alt*Hero is unashamedly right wing. The guy who publishes Alt*Hero is an intellivision guy.
