lol! scrambling to get out! I've never had that feeling but it doesn't sound very comfortable. The comic books, how do you get those published? I assume you have to go through Marvel or one of the big publishers and get approved by them or something?

Actually, at the risk of sounding crazy, it can get quite loud in there. :) It hasn't happened for a while now, but there have been times where three or four stories would all want to vie for my attention at once. Unfortunately, I've not been fast enough to get them all out, so some of them have been fading while others have sprung up to take their place.
Well, there's a few ways, like books, to get a comic book published. I'm mostly thinking about them in digital format, rather than actually being printed, because that tacks on another expense (along with shipping). I'm going to need an artist/inker, colorist and probably a letterer (though I could try to do that myself) so, I've got enough expenses already. Most people who go into comics have an affinity for drawing and learn the writing part later. My art isn't horrible, but it's not that good, either, and it's time consuming to do.
Going through Marvel or DC, or even some of the larger second tier companies is not ideal for me because I would end up giving up rights to other things like movies and merchandising as the characters i created were folded into their respective universes. I don't know if it's different now, but in the past, creators of characters haven't really received a whole lot, especially in comparison to what the character might make.
Also, mine will have a maximum of seven to eight year runs—though one of them might be able to keep going for longer. The rest as currently formatted in my head have definite endpoints.
