Here is another batch of writer notes on Sorcery 101. If you want to read ahead on these got ahead on these head over to my patreon.
Title page
I always like thinking of stuff to put on someone’s desk.
page 421 – 428
Alpha Phoenix’s magic files cover everything about supernatural creatures of darkness, so there is A LOT on Seth. Basically they are magic and are Mr. Tamura’s payment for taking orders from a certain entity that shows up later. Lucy is too. I changed the way Lucy’s wings look in the two versions.
I told Mary that the bruise on Seth’s chin should get smaller in each panel until it is gone. We get an intro to Mr. Tamura. Him and Seth go way back, but mostly cause they’ve both been around for awhile. Seth frequently does shit the hard way to entertain himself.
Seth is dropped about ten stories. LOTS of broken bones. And as usual, I always enjoy the random bystander seeing shit.
page 429 – 430
There is a country singer named Brad Wolfe. I learned this while making Sorcery 101 cause someone asked if Brad was named after them. Other than their existence I don’t know anything else about him.
page 431 – 432
Someone a few months after this chapter was done got very huffy that Danny was having unprotected sex while a werewolf. I pointed out to them that in both this redo version and the original version there is a used condon on the floor near Mel’s bra.
page 433 – 436
I wanted to establish the headaches before the chapter all about Natalie. And Natalie means soccer. Just to be clear.
And when ever Brad does a thing to learn more about werewolfness it’s for Rebecca not him. Ally would have been right if there wasn’t a bounty on Brad’s head.
page 437 – 443
So this house doesn’t seem very demony. It’s just a place Alpha Phoenix owns that they can put anyone who needs it. Spells really do need someone to keep the attack busy while you cast em. Brad getting hit with the crowbar is brought to you by my history of comics class going over the death of Jason Todd that week. Fortunately, Brad didn’t then get blown up.
I wrote down all the injuries Danny got in this scene so I knew where to put bruises at the beginning of the next chapter. It mostly goes to slamming his shoulder into the door.
page 444 – 447
Originally, this plan was going to be Alex’s idea. To show that despite the over use of the word “like” she wasn’t an idiot. I switched it to Danny cause well her and Baras aren’t that important in the big picture.
And Danny as a Batman fan would know the Jason Toddness of the situation and con reference it.
page 448 – 452
Brad heals quick but not that quick. And Seth doesn’t believe in anesthesia.
