:::CRACKS KNUCKLES:::
Alright, it's time to make the donuts; I have a basic concept down with this that I am nailing out. Sometimes I allow the comic to be a bit loose in the beginning and find everything else in telling the story. It’s kind of like Ikea furniture; you put it together loose and, in the end, tighten it all up. So here, from a pitch template I’ll have available on my Patreon soon, is the basics:
TITLE: MANSLAUGHTER: MANS RUIN
HIGH CONCEPT:
Pinocchio meets a sex doll meets Terminator!
Outlaw Bad Girl comics are done well, with a message and feeling, either in your heart or your loins!
THE STORY:
As part of the MAGIC CITY run, we open with new super synthetic companion dolls coming into the market being bought for crazy money but can walk and talk and such. One such "doll" is purchased by one lonely fat slob of a hacker named Charlie Decker, who treats her well, almost like a real girlfriend taking her on dates and such. Wishing she was honest, give him hope. He is also dealing in many Black market deals, Black Ops and Occultists, behind the scenes. In one of those, he finds a way through certain magic to bring her to life via the Golem and "God's Breath." At the same time, her data banks are being used as a backup to more of his heinous dealings. To be used to blackmail anybody who comes his way.
One night, he is caught up with the wrong people.
In his world, the wrong people is another word for saying a seedy cabal of end of the world cultist made up of everything from Escaped Nazi War Criminals to Satanic Bankers (Redundant, I know), Hippie Commune Sorcerers, and more.
Knowing the end is coming, Decker decides to enchant her with the spell to bring her to life. After filling her databanks with as much info as possible. Drunk and suicidal, he performs the ritual, knowing they will come for him; this is when she first gets a bit of consciousness.
The door explodes, and a small shock troop of soldiers comes in, and after a small back and forth with the Leader, MANEFISTO, Decker is killed. As they trash the place, they throw the doll to the side, and with his DYing breath, Decker gives her one last kiss, as a single teardrop on her face. There she becomes fully realized and come to full power, ripping through the guards. It is only MANIFISTO's own power that stops her from killing him, hitting her as she falls into the nearby river, and is washed away.
She is now out to avenge the one person who showed her love. Seeing a world of cruelty and death in the shadows or powers left unchecked, she decides to go on a crusade to kill as many of the people causing.
Mans Ruin? MANSLAUGHTER
THE TWIST:
MANSLAUGHTER was made from love, but it's her hate, her uttermost bitter hate, that keeps her living on. She might end the world before saving it!
VISUALS:
Black and White, heavy inks and grays, notebook-style (I know what this means)
GENRE:
B&W Eighties comics Outlaw books in the vein of Faust, Razor, early Lady Death, or Mirage TMNT
RELEVANCE:
I don't know; I think people will get pissed at me for this, but fuck it. I want some
FAN BASE:
Anybody into black and white violence, sexy girls (and boys?), black humor, Illuminati theories, and general ridiculousness.
BONUS:
May intertwine with other titles?
COLLATERAL:
Thinking of cover/poster images for it going forward, blue print-like photos, fake fashion magazine spreads, and more!
So the ending here isn’t written out, because, well, I have to keep something for myself! I also have ideas on the villains and antagonists, and I'm working out even for her going forward. Those will come later, as I keep writing, but I need to get the outline down and spots I want to really hit.
