So I'm sitting in the computer lab her at Columbus State cause my math prof is a no-show and I have another class in two hours when all of a sudden an idea hits me. An idea for a storyline for the comic book I want so desperately to write.
I think about comic books and how they all put their focus on either a hero, villain, or anti-hero and follow him throughout a particular set of events featuring recurring characters, enemies and allies until a conclusion at which point the process begins again.

My idea is similar but with a twist.
Meet Expendable Lad, sidekick extrordinaire. Gifted with the power of near invulnerability he is the perfect human shield, he can take a punch, a bullet, even a blast from a death ray. He has worked with and been trained by all the great heroes, yet due to many factors including his age, experience, abilities, and whatever else he is still just a sidekick who never stays with one hero for too long before finding another in an attempt to complete his training and become a full fledged hero.

The comic will be a superhero/comedy in theme with each storyline pairing Expendable Lad with a different mentor figure who big surprise doesn't respect him as an equal. Not only will we see the hectic hero side of Expendable Lad but also his struggles as a young adult in either a high school or college setting.

So far this is just a rough idea but I think it could be great fun to try, I'll need a co-writer as well as an artist or two to pull it off but that's something I'll get to probably this summer.
