When making a thread about a new comic, don't just one or two issues, even if you plan to continue it - In order to really understand your comic and be able to critizise it well, there need to be more isues.
The more the better; I suggest that you make about 10 issues before posting the comic.

I agree and disagree at the same time, I can't really explain it though.

1. Don't put in too many main characters. This has too many uses to list here. Three or four main characters are perfectly fine - if there's ten of them, that's just TOO MANY

Hey, if someone can have many characters and make it a good comic, well then, more glory to them.

2. Don't make up your entire cast out of cameos. You'll look a lot better as an author if you actually put effort in your cast, their characters and backstories, than if you just borrow other people's characters.

Agreed, but some people can have a great idea for a comic and lack the skills needed to create their charaters. So a cast made from cameos isn't always bad if you're making up your own information for them.

Be picky about the cameos you accept: Just because the creator/character is popular, that doesn't mean his character will fit well into your comic and be interesting. Also, see #5 below.

Yeah, agreed.

4. "Cameos" should be sent per PM - NOT posted in the topic of the comic.
The comic gets a lot more interesting if you don't know who's starring right away. And most, DON'T post backstories, secrets and such in the topic, for the same reasons as above.

I'd have to disagree. If you're accepting a cameo into a comic then it means that their backstory isn't very important to the plot and so it doesn't matter if people know who they are and their information.

5. Don't submit the same character, over and over, in thousands of different comics. Y'know what? IT GETS BORING. Regardless of how much you like your character, seeing him in five different alternative universes is annoying.
|
That's really your own opinion, some people might enjoy seeing how their character can act out different roles.

When making a fancomic, try not to conflict with the timeline too much. It's okay if there are few minor conflicts such as characters having a tad different traits or such, but you shouldn't have things BLATANTLY disagreeing; Such as the guardians being still alive after Z3.

Like I said, that's something
you would like to see from a comic. I have no need to expalin further, as we've already had this argument.
