Something that could be possible and being able to relate to at least one character makes the comic more popular. Batman has always been an inspiration of mine. In the book, The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics (O'Neil, Dennis. The DC Comics Guide to Writing Comics. New York: Watson-Guptill, 2001. Print.), I’ve learned so much in this book. From layouts, to simple characterizations. Something that struck me was on page 53, one of my favorite Batman stories. The hero fails to save a girl, and he must accept it. It’s simple, but relatable. I wanted to value that essence. My hero may have powers with his suit, but outside, he’s nothing more than a man. Somehow, I had to think of everyone else as well. Not everyone is the same as me, everyone relates differently. To get to that place, I had to toss ideas in my head. Everything always ended up being something too dark. I knew that story was something that had to be enjoyable, and it had to be good. Dark, light, comedic, it all had to fit into one slot. I spent months on the story. Looking through comics, and figuring out the story methods. Over this time, I’ve grown to respect the process. Although, writing and drawing takes time, it’s all worth it in the end.

At times I had to erase a huge section of a page because it wasn’t worthy enough to be seen in my comic. The trickiest part of drawing, was having to draw on 11x17 paper. Each person had to change in size every little panel, the buildings I designed had to be proportional with the characters. The environments would change with the character, such as a chair, or a door. The environments had to fit in with the world I created. The city had to be realistic, because the more relatable, the better.(Moorhouse, Ed. "Why Audiences Identify with Movie Superheroes." Why Audiences Identify with Movie Superheroes. Rutgers, 10 June 2011. Web. 29 Feb. 2016.) I went into so much detail, just trying to prove the technology behind the suit alone. Trying to relate that world to ours. Sure, the comics world may be a bit more advanced, but I went with technology that we have invented today and upgraded it to higher potential that fit the need. That was a goal for me, to make everything connect to my
