sorry, been away for the weekend, and back late after cartooning with Ty Templeton. Well, I will write on that a bit later. But I want you all to check this out:

Everyone now has a hero, from whatever country your from. I saw this little company at the Comic Com in Toronto. What do you think?
Good idea? bad Idea? After learning about character development, your character is much more then a visual, it is a person, with goals, dreams, personality and of course challenges and conflicts. This is all what makes a character interesting. Just look at the Joker from batman, his goals, personality and his own conflicts. Its not just the visual its so much more.

I think the challenge is that there will soon be to many characters but no personality behind them for the world of heroes.....what do you think? I guess wolverine, maybe an example of a cool looking character...but he does have alot of personality, conflicts etc....I guess you learn that is alot more to cartooning then just the picture!

I think that you can have too many characters --- DC ran into that problem with JSA recently. Better to have a core and flesh them out instead of rush them out.

There was a neat book called UN Force that dealt with each country having heroes and the political clashes as a hero of one country might not be considered a hero of another.

I remember that book!

Not only do I remember that UN Force comic, I still have it.  Did it go beyond #1?  I'm a bit sad that way but if there are masked men in it, I keep it.  Meaning there's a lot of bad comics in my collection.

There were several issues. I enjoyed it quite a bit when it came out, I thought it was a pretty neat idea and there were some cool heroes in it.
