The panel is starting a little late. The previous panel ran a bit long and they've scheduled all the panels in this room right on top of each other with no break. Not cool.

Turning in scripts with good grammar is key, because even if you wrote a great story, if the grammar's awful it just looks bad.

[Comment From GruntyGrunty: ] 
I remember Peter David once mentoing that there are different ways on how to put intructions for the artist in the skript from total explanations to "should look something like this...".
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:31 Grunty
1:31
Agent M: 
Yeah, all writers arrange their scripts differently
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:31 Agent M
1:31
Agent M: 
Marvel Style is when the writer writes the plot, the artist draws the issue and the writer then dialogues the comic.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:31 Agent M
1:32
Strommy: 
None of the writers can think of an instance where an artist completely misinterpreted a panel or page from the script they'd written.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:32 Strommy
1:32
Agent M: 
Marc Guggenheim sometimes changes dialogue on the back-end to more closely match the tone/feel/expression of the art.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:32 Agent M
1:32
Strommy: 
Which he says is similar to what they do in TV, where sometimes they'll change things minutely to make a line flow better in the editing room.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:32 Strommy
1:33
Agent M: 
Many writers these days don't do Marvel Style, but full script where the script is much more like a TV/Movie/Play script. Full of direction, art notes, etc.

A donkey falling over a rail? I missed the first words Daniel Knauf said...
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:33 Agent M

Daniel doesn't write his scripts nearly as detailed as Alan Moore, giving the artist a little more wriggle room.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:33 Strommy

The donkey falling over a rail was his description of an ultra-detailed description.

Daniel Knauf said the third season of Carnivale was meant to take place four years after the end of the second. He tried to get a Carnivale comic or series of graphic novels off the ground, but it didn't come together.

It's VERY difficult to review writers at conventions. reviewing artists is relatively easy because you can quickly see if someone gets anatomy, etc.

Jim says it's easiest if you partner yourself up with an artist and having them draw your script-- just has to be a solid 8-pager, and doesn't have to feature any Marvel characters. It helps editors see that you can write a good story.

Editors are extremely crucial to the process of creating comics. They see every part of every issue in different points and really help mold the comics.

Question about how the writers related to their shows during the writer's strike.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:43 Strommy

The Spider-Man office has a blog. Tom Brevoort, who edits all the Avengers, SECRET INVASION and a billion other titles, has a blog.

Funny considering some artist get a year long job without being able to draw any type of anatomy right, i'm not using names. But yep artist have it more difficult at times.

Episodes 10-13 of ELI STONE were shot during the strike, when Guggenheim wasn't directly involved--says they're his favorite episodes, jokes that it's because he wasn't directly involved.

What's the difference between writing comics and TV? Daniel Knauf thought comics would be easier, but they're not. Says writing comics are like writing haikus in a way, there needs to be a succinctness to it.
Sunday July 27, 2008 1:46 Strommy

Daniel likes the fact that he gets fewer notes from the editors in comics than he does from the producers or executives on a TV show.
