Granted, this would not technically be my first comic book. I assembled some small ones when I was little. But what separates this project from the others is that I'm going to approach it in a more professional manner.
It's currently titled Seraph and will revolve around a woman chosen to be the last defender of mankind against evil itself. There's more to it than that, but that is the gist of it. At this point in time it will be seven total issues, one of which will be a prologue issue (or Issue #0).
Much of the content that will be in Issue #0 would normally have been revealed through exposition and flashbacks if it were written as a novel as originally planned. Since comic books by their nature need to be concise with storytelling, the prologue issue will serve to set up most of the key points prior to the main storyline beginning.
One thing I've learned about writing a comic book script is that there isn't really one single way to do it. The format I'm using for the time being is going to be a simple Page/Panel/Narration/Dialogue layout. I'm sure as time goes by I'll adjust it as needed.
I'm still very much early on with it, but I think I will enjoy the process...
