Another brilliant idea!

I want to make a comic series. Web comic? Need to learn how to Art I guess :/

As you may or may not know, Doctor Doom is the ruler of a European country called Latveria. Despite being ruled with an iron fist by one of the most evil villains in the Universe, it's really quite charming! Kind of like a communist version of Belgium, with lederhosen and beer and sausage and oppression and poverty.

MY idea is to follow the lives of those brave men and women who serve on the Latverian Bureau of Tourism. Amongst the normal office folk, I figure there are plenty of second-string and third-string villains that Doom has helped "go straight" over the years in order to just get them out of the way, maybe even a few brainwashed super heroes who don't remember their heroic past. SO while our overall plot will be something like drumming up interest in Septemberfest, we'll allow for B and C plotlines as well that focus on Carl from accounting having to keep blasting Mike Heroman from the Graphics Department with the mind-wipe ray every time he starts becoming heroic, or Sally from Human Resources having to confront The Killer Tiger about his inappropriate "native attire" on Casual Friday. And of course, Doom comes in and murders the department head once a month or so replacing them with a new guy.

Honestly, the panel blocking and arranging panel vs. script would be too time consuming for me. That's always been the big barrier to my making a comic. I just haven't figured out a good way to efficiently block out panels and figure out how much to put where. If I can get the most basic of storyboard and panel arranging done for me, I can pick up the ball and run with it after that.
