11/15/24 Absolute Comic Writing 101 (Reinventing Superheroes feat. Kelly Thompson) Archive

The recording of our FREE special class on reinventing and reimagining superheroes with special guest Kelly Thompson!

Hey guys, it’s Scott.

And it was such a blast doing this again! Getting to see some familiar names in the chat alongside a bunch of new ones is what keeps this whole thing going. Thank you all for stopping by! The class went longer than I thought it would, but that’s only because it was so much fun talking comic writing with Kelly Thompson. Her work with Hayden on Absolute Wonder Woman was sensational, and it was great getting a glimpse at the first issue and what inspired it!

The other examples we looked at for superhero reinventions seemed to be a hit too. For anyone who wants to watch the Batman Beyond intro WITH sound, here’s the full clip:

And to anyone who joined us here for the first time, welcome! We do these classes every month with an occasional Q&A livestream in the meantime. To get access to the full playlist of 30+ previous sessions we’ve done, all you need to do is sign up for the class! It’s just $7/month or $75/year and in my opinion you’re getting a ton of value there. Plus, students get their own private line at all conventions I go to. It’s kind of like a FastPass, but for my signings!

To all my students (the old AND new ones), keep chiming in on our Discord server (another perk of signing up), and stay tuned for more Absolute Batman announcements. The covers for issue #5 just got revealed, so here’s all of them in one handy graphic with the pre-order codes:

I’ll try to do one or two more sessions before 2025, and as always, all students are still eligible to submit their work so long as they sign this submission waiver and send it along with their work to ourbestjackettwriting@gmail.com. Until then, we’ll talk soon. Thanks again guys!
