Short Scripts and Portfolios
Jul 4th
For the past few days, I’ve been writing up a storm in an effort to build up my portfolio with more comic-based writing that didn’t feature ideas and characters I’m wholly attached to. While doing so, I also decided I should flex my character building, theme, and dialogue muscles to see how well I could infuse a short story with thematic values while also dramatically changing tone, backgrounds, and even my style of writing. After the jump is ONE of FIVE scripts I’ve written that I don’t mind showing off in an attempt to get feedback, critiques, and of course, exposure. Check it out, won’t ya?
Ultimate Trio #3
Apr 21st
Meet the cast of Ultimate Trio
A month down the line and I’ve finally finished Ultimate Trio #3. I’m actually very happy about this despite how long it took me to get into issue 2. I just decided to rough it out and complete all the initial drafts before I jumped into doing all the detailed editing (which means I put Issue #12 and the Annual of my original comic idea on hold so that I could cross this off my list.). Anyway, this is the conclusion of the storyline, and as I’ve said before, this has wandered as far as it possibly could away from the mod outline/script, so if that’s one of the reasons preventing you from reading, then let me affirm you that beyond issue 1, the similarities die down dramatically. Speaking of issue 1, that’s also been updated significantly in the dialogue dept. and some of the scene positions have been altered. If you wouldn’t mind reading that again and giving me some thoughts on its current draft (4), I’d be very appreciative. Anyway, script 3 is below, and I’d really love any type of feedback you may have (even if you don’t finish reading… though obviously I’d like fully informed thoughts). Specifically, I’m iffy about the ending, so commentary on how to improve it would be ideal. Enjoy the read, folks! Heh, if I’m lucky, maybe Marvel will love it too and use Arcade more often. 
Ultimate Trio: Issue #2
Apr 1st
Arcade and Console by Murs47
I don’t know if you guys remember, but sometime last year, July to be more exact, I wrote a comic script based on the Ultimate Trio mod featuring the villainous Arcade trapping and torturing three of Marvel’s most prolific characters. Well, after I finished issue #1, I had immediate plans to start on the second script and put it out there for prying eyes to read, comment on, and/or rip apart. Unfortunately, the current state of all the main characters involved kind of destroyed my enthusiasm for the project despite how out of continuity it may be. So, after I knocked some other projects out the way, I decided to force myself to finish issue #2 to see how well it’d come out. Honestly, I think the script is as good as it could be despite the fact that I dropped my initial outlines for the next two entries and remade it all with my original goals in mind. If you were a fan of Deadpool in issue 1, I’m sorry to say his role was dropped dramatically in order to boost up the REAL trio I had in mind for the mod. Anyway, why don’t you guys give it a read and tell me how well I did. Especially inform me if any of my disdain has shone through at all.
Ultimate Trio: The Script
Jul 27th
Some of you might remember a little mod I made last year that goes by the name of Ultimate Trio. If you don’t know what it is or didn’t get a chance to play, it was a mod that focused on three heroes–Iceman, Human Torch, and Deadpool–lost in the cracks of time thanks to Crisis. Who was behind this little scheme? Well, of course, a little, red-headed mastermind. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
Anyway, I was chatting with one of my FR buds, and he suggested that maybe that mod should be turned into a script. Initially, I thought he was crazy, as I typically would, but over time, the itch got to me and I figured I had better scratch it. This brings us up-to-date. Today, I finished the second draft of the script, and I figured I’d post it here for anyone interested to read or give feedback on it. If you’ve played the mod, still give the script a try. The script diverges wildly from the mod concept… so much that I should probably give it a whole new name. Decisions, decisions.
