Modern family: Addition

Transformers

Days passed by and time receded like sand in the palm. I eventually finished with some of my preliminary preparations for Autobots vs. Decepticons or transformers. I haven't actually outlined anything as of yet but just listed out the major names and events I could think of.

I'm even considering ditching that cheesy placeholder title with something fresh, new and more specific but decided to go with Transformers.

Unlike the version of everyone dying and rebooting to the next generation that Hasbro in previous life has employed, I want my version to be more cohesive in the grand succession of things.

Of course, remakes are an option but that is when new and cooler toys are made possible by toymaking advancements.

I don't want to introduce a character just because I want a new toy line. Instead, I want the new toylines to follow the flow of the story.

As someone who greatly dislikes obvious advertisement characters in my past life, I don't want the new transforming robot fandom to bear the same grudge.

Of course, I'm still following my capitalist heart so whose to say that I would follow that glorious morality in doing things.

Essentially, Transformers itself or any story is an advertisement of itself. How could it be a franchise if it wasn't?

After eating something as brunch, I get to do my next routine survey with regards to the five comic booking groups.

While group 5 was assigned with coloring and inking my completed pencil works, the rest were experimenting on their assigned issues.

As the moste of them worked on the much simpler Dragonball and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I still kept the much grandiose Thundercats to myself.

As I passed by them and gave out my criticisms, I'm now considering whether I could outsource Lion-o to them as well.

I have three new works to focus on and the looming presence of supposedly flagship toyline of our Dunphy Comics needs me to run ahead to the start this race.

In any case, the progress that the second floor has is satisfactory enough. It could even be said to be over the top with them working on issues that would only be published a year ahead from now.

The nerd market didn't even need to worry about release delays as Dunphy Comics got their worries covered.

Unlike other traditional comic book companies that adapt to the reaction of the market and the society, Dunphy titles are just stories themselves that would be told with whatever turmoil that society has encountered.

The biggest advantage of stockpiled issues is not worrying about the market with missed releases. Even the Big Two wanted to know Dunphy Comics' secret to their never-ending weekly releases.

The big disadvantage is that the stockpile issues may not resonate on 'that' level with the audience as I have hoped or hoping for. A feedback and adaptation loop is needed to make things much more conducive.

Previously, Ms. Marker pointed out a slight decline in sales and pinpointed that fan disregard is the reason for it.

Dunphy Comics' market detachment will be worrying in the long run and for that some appropriate countermeasures need to be made in short term.

Fortunately, my recent interaction with my family and some friends gave me the positive quirks of listening to audience perception and there was no need to continue to deny the inclusiveness that the fans want.

I want a renewed comic book community and renewed comic book community is what I would be working towards during my time at company.
