I still have a whole thing I want to write about regarding the creation process of a comic book, but I’m waiting until I’ve got colors and letters for the whole first 5 pages before I do that, so I can make this whole thing with showing the step by step process I’ve gone through. But this I have to say now: every time I open up my email to get another set of rough pages or a colored page or pencils or a logo idea or *whatever*, the whole…
