Stuff We Talked About

1. My novel seems to take place in the common era. It seems this way due to the fact that everyone is dressed like we do today and all of the buildings seem like they could exist today and look normal. Most of the novel takes place at night, due to the darkness that seems to always be present. Passing of time is presented by the changing of scenery, not so much by the day changing to night.

2. Well, Ash is kind of upset by the zombies, and I guess by the fact that he would like to rid the world of them he is standing up for what he believes in. Those are good ideals, but I think this is relevant in all eras, not just present day. Although technically Jesus Christ was sort of a zombie and people seemed OK with him two thousand years ago, so I guess by the fact that Ash is not worshipping the evil dead zombies and proposing that they are the son of god, he is acting appropriately for the time period.

3. Honestly, this time period has little effect on the overall plot. In fact, its practically irrelevant. The book takes place in some big city with a bunch of super heroes: Timeless.

4. Real fictional, like I think its supposedly based on something like New York city. It has big buildings and stuff, but I don't think any of them are like real... The author never uses direct references to any specific buildings or streets so its hard to tell, but the setting is definitely not fictional.

Characters

Characters are cool and important. I love characters. The protagonist is my graphic novel is a young man named Ashley (Ash). He is super cool and has a chainsaw. He doesnt really have any known weaknesses at the point in the novel that I am at. Spiderman also has kinda proven himself to be considered a protagonist, but he is still a little mysterious. The antagonist in my novel are the evil dead things and some mysterious man in the funny gold outfit. The enemies have no weaknesses yet although they dont really have any kind of thought processes other than to eat human flesh... anyways little is known of the enemy. These characters really draw me into the world of Superheroville because they are so easily relatable, everyday I worry about the zombie apocalypse and what I would and will do when the day comes. I think Ash has the right idea with the chainsaw and I think he has a shotgun too. Either way, he should be set for the battle. This story is clearly aimed towards teens or those of the older generation. Ash is a character in like the coolest movies ever (The Evil Dead*, The Evil Dead II, and The Army of Darkness). If you haven't seen those movies, you should realize that you are living a meaningless life and you should probably either rent and watch all three movies in quick succession or just give up and eat cupcakes until your heart stops beating.

*NOTE
The film The Evil Dead contains a rather confusing and quite disturbing scene involving a tree and a young lady. Those who are weak at heart will probably not enjoy this scene, but it is imperative that the viewer watch this sequence in order to feel the true terror that the characters were experiencing. Plus Bruce Campbell is a cool dude.

Anyways...
The Characters in my graphic novel are groovy and far out. I cant wait to read more and learn more about them.
