This is a post for comic book artists preparing
their pages for their publisher or colourist. I’m aware that many
pros still don’t know some of this stuff, often because the bigger
publishers have production teams who will take the incorrectly sized
or shaped pages and adjust them before passing on to colourists or
for print. However, this a) is giving more work to people that you
can easily do yourself and b) reduces the amount of control you have
over how your work is printed. It makes sense to provide files that
will present your work in the best way possible.

Mr. Bendis, I need your wisdom! I have a concept for a story I'd like to write, however I have a small problem. I cannot come up with good and unique names for my characters. When you are writing a brand new title with new characters how do you come up with their names? Any advice you can provide would be awesome of you, Sir! Thanks
Over the years I’ve had many opinions on this but I have settled very concretely on the following: What Would the parents have named the character?
By trying to answer this question for yourself you start to develop who the parents were, where they came from, what their relationship to the world and pop culture and their history is…
Not only will you come up with a better name than what you would’ve come up with if you’re trying to think of something “” cool, you will also have done some major world building around your character. Even if it’s stuff no one ever sees. The fact that you were able to get that name out of that material makes everything about what you’re writing that much richer
Also, this is where people get their names from. They are named by someone. If it’s not their parents then who? that’s a story too.
Miles for instance. I know exactly who he is named after, I know who named him, and I know why he has his mothers maiden name and not his fathers. Will I ever get to that in the story? I don’t know. But if I do. I know it
I honestly don’t know if I even like the idea of Spider-Gwen, but I must admit it’s a fun costume to draw. Was supposed to just ink an old sketch I did as a warm up, but started experimenting with colors. All drawn/colored in Procreate.
