So I named this blog "Bottom of the Barrel" because its really where I feel I am at. My name is Murris and I have been enjoying science and fantasy fiction in several different formats for years. The issue however for me has always been that every story always has a super hero or some sort of entity that is overtly unique and over powered in comparison to all others within the story. I know the idea of of fiction writing is to be able to do anything disregarding the real worlds limitations but at the same time I find that it seems unlikely even in a fantasy world that there would be just the on hero, the unique power and nobody else can compare. So this is where it starts.
I have been mulling it over in my head for some time and have occasionally jotted down interesting thoughts and notes and have come to the conclusion that if I want a story a certain way then perhaps the best way to achieve that is to simply write it myself. Lately I have been reading a lot of comic books. A media format with a direct approach to information as well as solid images to drive home emotion and meaning seemed right up my alley. So with the artistic abilities of my good friend Evan I have set out to design my own comic and craft my own story of a hero in a world where he is not all powerful, where he isn't unique and has no distinct advantage. These conditions will allow the character to develop a rich back story while also allowing the readers to continue to relate to the hero throughout the entire epic.
As myself and Evan write it will be posted her not only as a storage medium but in hopes that people might leave there notes and thoughts. If the idea is to make a more human and less godly hero then who better to help design then the common man. So if you read and enjoy and even if you don't please let us know why either way.
I am hoping Evan will post for himself soon so he can give you his background.
