Write a Superhero Screenplay – Meltdown University Shows You How! @meltdowncomics

Meltdown University, News No Responses »

Oct 112010

The interest and demand for superhero stories in movies and TV is only increasing. As I write this, the show No Ordinary Family is on ABC which is about a family of superheroes, Stan Lee is putting together a super-web series that they plan to bring to TV, and people are buzzing in anticipation about the Green Lantern, Thor, and Avengers movies. Not to mention, the recent Spider-man, Brave and the Bold, Iron Man, Avengers, and Marvel Superheroes cartoons. Superheroes are all the rage.

Come to this special one-day Meltdown University workshop, Screenwriting and Superheroes, and learn how to write your own original script with super people, or know what to do when you get that job writing for an existing character. For budding scriptwriters and pros alike!

This workshop is being taught by Jim Higgins, formerly of DC Comics editorial, who has 17 years in the comic book business and years of teaching experience at places like CalArts, Otis College of Art and Design, and The School of Visual Arts Cartooning program.

Sep 302010

We start and end with the Royal One of the Undersea as Chris shows off some Namor artwork, then we delve into crime as Sam talks up CRIMINAL, compares to STRAY BULLETS and SIN CITY, and talk up potential dream directors for Brubaker and Phillip’s masterpiece.

We then yammer about some books with ALMIGHTY’s Ed LaRoche, including recent X-FACTOR, ASTONISHING SPIDER-MAN/WOLVERINE #3, THUNDERBOLTS, SHADOWLAND: POWER MAN, Kieron Gillen’s THOR run, we go back to last week and grill Chris on his NEMISIS #3 throwdown, and talk up scripting for artists compared to the artist doing it all. Last, we touch on the GI:JOE – COBRA SPECIAL, X-MEN LEGACY #240, WONDER WOMAN #603, THE TECHNOPRIESTS, NAMOR #2, PRISON PIT by Johnny Ryan, and we ask Chris a hard question – should Namor and Sue ever be together?

Music: Iron Maiden – The Wicker Man (Live in Rio)
Intro: Notorious B.I.G. – Who Shot Ya? (Remix)/Project 86 – The Butcher
