32 IC posts in and I finally get Frank on the board. I think that's a new fastest post for me in these things.

Boring establishing post but I a) want to use Frank to react to what's going on elsewhere in the 'verse, and b) want a slower build-up to Frank coming out of 'retirement'. I think I set the scene for both of those things with this intro post, and I'll work on a follow up tonight and over the weekend.

I'm postponing Quicksilver for now, but I'll probably write up his concept next week.

Seconded. Always love in-character reactions to events in other parts of the world, and Castle's a grad-A grump about it

I think I'm gonna try something unorthodox for Mr. Freeze. It might work or it might be too early for him to play nice.

@Kale19 Just one thing. The Magneto of this world is different. @DocTachyon, @Bounce, and I are treating him as if he never had a career as a supervillain. He's just an old mutant dude who co-headmasters at the Xavier Institute and has a pretty vocal view of mutant rights.

By the way, if anyone is looking for someone to collab with, I'm sure that Wonder Woman could help out at this moment.

Also, I'm gonna post Agent Venom soon.

finally got it all out. I probably should start planning Mr. Freeze's arc but this is fine.

First Blade post made that sets up the character along with the setting of New Orleans. This is technically a prologue post that lays the foundation for what lies ahead.

Collab post with @Rapid Reader should be arriving shortly.

Does anyone have any advice for writing fight scenes? I found myself really struggling and needing to rewrite and rethink a few times but still in the end feeling rather unsatisfied. Feel like it is rather hard to make it flow naturally and had difficulty in thinking of what should go where or if there should be dialogue in some places or none and so on and so on...

@Kyoka In my mind comics (and therefore comic battles) are a lot like pro wrestling. The basic technical stuff, strikes, jabs, blocks, etc, you can gloss over. What you should be expounding on are the "spots" of the fight, things that shift the momentum of the fight one way or the other, or are important to the story/characterization. To get the latter, understand first why you're writing the fight, and things should be clearer for you.

I feel like do it in a way that seems more natural, you can gloss over as DeadCruiser suggested. I tend to describe it, I never found I was particularly good at writing fight scenes but someone told me I'm okay.

Honestly take a look at what your favourite writers here do, you get some that go more poetic and some that go more descriptive. The most important thing is this: Find your own style.

I've not read your post yet but I will, and if I see anything I'll throw you some pointers in your PM, but we're all pretty friendly here and quite happy to give feedback/advice.
