Cheers and good times!
Yeah, for me, the problem is whenever you try to start something new, that time has to be taken away from something else. I want to start a comic but all I managed to get going so far was writing up the background setting, coming up with the characters, and designing the overall plot.
It's to be a PMD-style comic but instead of a rescue team or an explorer team, they solely go for the bounty hunter missions. It stars Team Buckshot, a group of three male Pokémon that are Pokémon species that usually perceived as feminine, but they're given a more badass appearance and attitude. There's Kaxo the Lopunny (the Deadpool-esque reckless action hero), Shank the Cinccino (the fearless robot-hating kamikaze maniac), and Sabot the Bellossom (the trash-talking master of sarcasm). They get the butt-end of a lot of jokes because of the Pokémon species that they are, but they enjoy making everyone who does that choke on their words. Add in plenty of fire and explosions as well.
As the storyline goes, one mission from an anonymous source has them unknowingly bag a very high-ranking executive of a powerful, warmongering crime syndicate called TARMA (Tactical Arms, Research, & Manufacturing Authority). Thinking Team Buckshot is working for some other corrupt underground circle, they keep sending their syndicate soldiers and elite operatives after them. Now, after having built up quite a notoriety with TARMA, Team Buckshot is in too deep and they have to figure out how they're going to deal with it by escaping, faking their death and hiding, or somehow find a way to bring TARMA completely down. Meanwhile, there's the mystery of the Soma Stones, which are spherical crystals that grant the holder access to certain kinds of magic provided they manage to harness their power correctly. Common ones have relatively weak powers like simple illusions, used like batteries or lights or things like that while rarer ones can do some pretty insane cataclysmic stuff like tear entire buildings down. Also, some Pokémon are considered "Elect" and have strange, uncanny superpowers similar to Marvel and DC superheroes. Shank the Cinccino is the only one on Team Buckshot that is an Elect, but he hasn't figured out how to completely control his powers. It has something to do with him having INSANE accuracy at times. While his power is unpredictable and uncontrollable most of the time, it IS known that whenever someone flips him the birdie, his power triggers and he shoots their middle finger clean-off perfectly every time. >:3
The world setting itself, called Baladax, is a very roughneck, polluted, and crime-infested world. Think of themes and settings very similar to what you'd see in Fallout, Mad Max, Borderlands, Guardians of the Galaxy, and that kind of thing. Planetary travel is possible, but only the rich 1% ever get to experience it (Apexa is the next closest inhabitable world and it's quite a distance away). Most working-class Pokémon are stuck on Baladax for life. Meanwhile, there are weapons, but they're mainly laser and plasma-based. Robots and other machines are common as well.
That said, I totally would LOVE to make this comic a thing, but it's just trying to get the time for it. But at least I've got a good handle on what I'd like to do with it.
