More superhero project rambling

With the absence of an artist (or the artistic talent I need/want) I've been throwing myself into the writing much more.  Starting the fourth major story arc already which seems crazy based on the fact page one of story arc one is still lacking art but what the hell, might as well write it down while I'm thinking about it.  

Oh yea, I'm also already planning the first major spin-off series.  Can you say illusions of grandeur?  Sure you can.  

So beyond the fact that I've been ranting about this project for quite a while now I haven't really said much about it and that's both to protect the story hook that IMO makes it unique and also because I hate discussing story ideas until I have them solidified.  But I do want to talk a little about the project in broad strokes.

I've wanted to do a webcomic for a long time but never have because of time constraints.  Before that I wanted to get into print comics and nearly broke into the indie publishing scene but missed it by THAT much, then packed up the dream and went to college to get a "real" job.  So this project would scratch a few itches for me.  The intention is to obviously do a superhero comic, but the plan is to have it on the web with the format hopefully being more like a print comic.  Meaning 24 pages in each issue, each issue having a "cover" and each major story arc basically being a "mini-series."  One of the reasons I've never really taken the plunge into web comics is because I know the work load to do regular updates would probably kill me in conjunction with my real job.  This format would allow me to have minor down time between "issues" and slightly longer downtime between "mini-series."  This format would also make it easier to transition to printed books if there was ever a demand for such.  That's the theory anyway.

I really wish I was putting this story out for people to read already because I'm proud of it and it's a comic that I know I would like to read.  And I even gave serious thought to turning into a novel but it wouldn't be the same without the visual element.  So I'm holding out for the art worthy to go with the story, when that happens, I'll see you in the funny papers!
