RE: The Stellar Wild - Chapter 2

in #fiction8 years ago

This is a great follow-up! The pacing was mostly kept, and the dynamic between Cole and Ed is very fascinating. I like how, even though the series has a sci-fi setting, the issues they face are really grounded in real-life problems. It gives the reader a sense that no matter where they are in the universe, they would feel right at home. Sci-fi stories have a tendency to alienate (pun intended) readers especially when it comes to high science concepts, so I'm glad this series doesn't seem to fall into that trap.

Sort:  

When me and my friend Anthony came up with these characters, we had it in mind to turn this into a scifi epic of a graphic novel, but one thing I wanted to focus on was the characters. I like to joke about how people get into this belief about government bureaucrats being benevolent superhumans, but the same is true for protagonists in a story. People have to make a living, and they live. They're not always saving the galaxy or something else every single day.

There is going to be some crazy science-fictiony stuff down the road, though lol
