Ok, so I have finally found a name for my comic or series of graphic novels I would like to do: Modern Christians. I looked it up on yahoo and found no books, shows or anything under that name. And I hope no one else is using that name on here. Read my last blog to get an idea of how I want this comic to be kind of like.So recently I got the book "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud and it helped me get a better idea of how to express my ideas and how to connect with readers and much more. It's a great book and I highly recommend it.I want this comic to be the kind of comic readers will think about and remember and hopefully apply to their lives. Maybe one of the most stand out Christian comics around?Though sometimes I am even questioning if some of the things I want to show are Christian like. Like showing how much some Christians can be hypocrites. Basing it on my experiences and those of others. Like wondering why does it seem like many people seem to consider you important only when you're at church or a church related event and you don't seem to exist any other time. Or a Christian friend ignoring you on purpose. Ending friendships out of nowhere without any real good reason. Begging for forgiveness from a Christian brother or sister and not seeming to get any. Catching someone using profanity. Catch a respected Christian or even a pastor looking at porno. Things like that. And then solutions are found. Sometimes funny ones or that ones that make the reader think deeply or maybe push it to the point that could be controvesral? Not that I am bitter, but to show theres like that are what people can expect out of the Christian life.Maybe some characters doubt God's existance through the trials they go through and question their experiences based on what characters from the Bible have went through.But yet I still want to show that being a Christian is amazing when its done right. That having a relationship with Jesus is still worth it all, even through all the trials one has to go through.
