DeadBabies

[azrael]

I am currently working on my own comic, written, drawn, and inked by me.

Just curious on what others think on it.

The book is called DeadBaby.

Its dark-humor-superhero book about a baby that dies from sids, comes back to life, and fight the good fight.

I did this as a promo/play on the Joker's TKJ scene.

Please be honest, is all I ask.

[Mr.Turtle]

[azrael]

There are 3 in the comic

Good Guy: Sid Spengler

Bad guy: Abortion

and Mrs. Carriage

[Mr.Turtle]

uhmmm...thats ok too but i mean brothers...

Just a question, do you have kids? I personally have no problem with what you're doing, but it is in bad taste. Just my opinion. Really, couldn't you have been more creative?

[Mr.Turtle]

^ i think thats a ok taste, relax bro, we dont kno the content yet...if the contents good then it's alright...dont let the name fooled u...

How do you go from "in bad taste" to "not creative"? Fear of offending should never stand in the way of creativity.

Grow up.



...Also: Mrs. Carriage! Ha!

We don't know the content? Um, I think it's pretty clear what the ''book'' is about.

Let me just say this. As a new parent, This is something we all worry about, and a lot of families have been affected by this sort of thing. So the whole concept just seems messed up.

Hmm, a baby dies, comes back to life, and fights crime. So original. :roll:On top of that so original concept you just have to a Sids in the mix, which is messed up.

[Mr.Turtle]

^ how do u kno the book is focused on kids???? we dont even kno the rating yet!

It's supposed to be a satire of the well-established superhero origin story. Duh. TMNT did the same. It even went so far as directly referencing other works, like Daredevil and Ronin.

So you're a parent. Who cares? He's not insinuating your baby should die, or be caused to suffer -- or encourage anyone to take steps to that effect -- in order for it to potentially become a superhero.



...Also: Mrs. Carriage. It's still funny! (Should be Ms., though, right?)

[azrael]

you are right it is "Ms."

I have 1 child and I know 1 family personally affected by SIDS. I know its making light of very serious topics of babies. Its honestly sounds worse than how it goes. Its a really dark humor, I have TMNT and Batman refs through it. Im writing it as a 1 shot. I would love for it to reach cult status like JTHM, Emily, or the living dead girl dolls.

I know the concept coming back to life and do justice, is very cliche. Its proper execution I am leaving enough room to be able to move on from the first issue/1shot.

When I get more done will put up a preview.

Its sounds like a more humorous version of Spawn at least from the general description. A bit too dark for my personal taste but I admire the idea and understand the premise clearly. It also appears to be something diffciult to pull off but if animorphic turtles trained in ninjitsu can work why not Deadbaby?
Btw,MetropolisKid41 and you would make a good team if you needed any artistic help.

[azrael]

the only thing I know from spawn is the movie. I want it to be light heart-funny in a dark humor way. Its hard to balance but I feel its coming along. I want people (if it makes it that far) to pick it up with a "WTF!?" feeling and close it with a "OMFG! that sh!t was funny."
