You&#8217;ll need to make sure that there&#8217;s enough &#8220;meat&#8221; in the overall storyline to carry it through several complete narratives toward its conclusion. Comic book series can run from a handful through hundreds of episodes. It&#8217;s quite an undertaking, but with the right knowledge and careful planning, you can do it. In this post, we&#8217;ll take you through the fundamentals of how to plan a comic book series. Let&#8217;s dive in!<\/p><p>If you&#8217;re attempting to write a series, we&#8217;ll assume that you&#8217;ve already written at least one complete standalone comic book with a full-length plot. To write a series is like writing a single story that completes in one book, but it needs an extra layer of narrative structure. Clarifying this point in your mind is the first step in developing a solid plan for a successful comic book series.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09515b8 e-con-full glance-2 e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"09515b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98a351a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"98a351a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>At-a-glance summary<\/strong>:<\/h2><ul><li>We give you practical guidelines for planning a compelling comic book series.<\/li><li>We emphasize crafting intertwined series and episode arcs.<\/li><li>We explain the importance of each episode having self-contained narrative arcs contributing to an overarching storyline.<\/li><li>We highlight balancing internal character transformations and external plot developments.<\/li><li>We suggest structuring the series into three acts.<\/li><li>We recommend starting with a manageable length (around seven episodes).<\/li><li>We discuss the significance of supporting characters, detailed world-building, and narrative complexity.<\/li><li>We include a helpful checklist for planning.<\/li><li>Details of QinPrinting&#8217;s support for printing and publishing comic books.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3bdf863 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3bdf863\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The series arcs and the episode arcs<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c72f91a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c72f91a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In a standalone comic book story, you need an overall story arc which carries and contains all the action within it and encompasses the situation at the beginning and the situation at the end. The starting situation will have two aspects: the external situation and the internal state of the protagonist. Everything that happens in the story\u200a\u2014\u200athe plot\u200a\u2014\u200aserves to take the protagonist on a journey of struggle and transformation, both internal and external, until they arrive at the last situation where the story ends.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The protagonist&#8217;s internal struggle is against their weaknesses, their false beliefs, their fears, their prejudices, and their mistaken ideas, for example. The external struggle is against the bad guys, forces of nature, unexpected events and obstacles that stop them from easily achieving their aims. Combined, these provide what&#8217;s called &#8220;the story arc&#8221;. It&#8217;s an arc because there&#8217;s increasing tension, raising the stakes, the need to confront and overcome ever greater difficulty until the story reaches a climax\u200a\u2014\u200ausually a final battle between the protagonist and the antagonist\u200a\u2014\u200aand then the &#8220;wind down&#8221; to the story&#8217;s final resolution.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In a satisfying and complete story, the protagonist&#8217;s inner arc and the outer arc of the plot reflect each other and interact. In the ending scenes, it&#8217;s the protagonist&#8217;s inner transformation\u200a\u2014\u200ato conquer their fears, weaknesses, and false ideas\u200a\u2014\u200athat enables them to overcome the protagonist and complete the plot arc. This is the resolution of the story\u200a\u2014\u200athe point when the protagonist has found inner peace and satisfaction and also solved the external problem or beaten the external antagonistic forces.<\/span><\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In a comic book series, you&#8217;ll need to have two sets of these inner and outer arcs. The overall series arcs and the lesser episode arcs. Each of the episode arcs should be a satisfying story in its own right, but carry the series arc forward without resolving it yet.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2867836 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2867836\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How many episodes should a comic book series have?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16ff6de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16ff6de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A comic book series should have as many or as few episodes as you like. But seven episodes are a good starting block. Ongoing series\u200a\u2014\u200alike many of the most famous superhero stories\u200a\u2014\u200aare slightly different as the protagonist&#8217;s inner arc either remains unresolved or its resolution leads to a new internal struggle which kick starts a new arc, and so on.<\/p><p>Just as you divide a standalone comic book story into three acts, usually following the same basic pattern as a screen play for an animated movie, which is 25% for Act One, 50% for Act Two, and 25% for Act Three, you can do the same with your series and episode arcs.<\/p><p>Say you&#8217;re planning a seven-episode comic book series, you can divide the episodes into three acts, like this:<\/p><p><strong>Act One:<\/strong>\u00a0episodes one and two (25%)<br \/><strong>Act Two:<\/strong>\u00a0episodes three, four, and five (50%)<br \/><strong>Act Three:<\/strong>\u00a0episodes six and seven (25%)<\/p><p>Then, within each episode, you have three acts again. The acts within the episode complete that episode&#8217;s story but only carry the overall series arc to a certain point. You&#8217;ll be familiar with several classic ways of doing this.<\/p><p>For example, the series arc might be a will-they-won&#8217;t-they romance which is only finally resolved at the end of the last episode. In each individual episode, the two protagonists must work together to confront and overcome various bad guys and monsters. Each of these episodes is a story in its own right, but it&#8217;s in these encounters that they first realize their feelings for each other, get separated or fall out, and eventually resolve their conflicts and confirm their relationship. Another is the overall quest aim\u200a\u2014\u200ato find a missing person, to get back to a home planet, to retrieve a stolen object. Each episode\u200a\u2014\u200aa complete story \u2014\u200aleads the protagonist closer to their goal and, at the end, they achieve their aim.<\/p><p>Go back to your favorite comic book series and make notes.

In a standalone story, if your world is too sprawling with too many locations and changes of scene, it can confuse the reader and reduce the impact of events. But when you&#8217;re creating a comic book series, you have broader scope and can build your world on a grander, more complex scale. Think of all the science fiction stories which take the heroes to many planets, each with its own life forms, atmosphere, challenges, and adventures. Or the fantasy epics which range across mountains, subterranean caverns, dark forests, quiet valleys, and far-flung islands as the story unfolds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7166994 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7166994\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Series characters and episode characters<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f339df4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f339df4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Another important decision you&#8217;ll need to make when you&#8217;re working out how to plan a comic book series is about your cast of characters. Your protagonist will be in every episode, of course. But will there be other key characters who, while they might not be in each episode, are essential parts of the overall series arcs? For example, the antagonist, perhaps a love interest, a buddy, a sidekick, or a guide or mentor character.<\/p><p>While the main arcs of the series and the individual episodes always belong to the protagonist, any other characters will need their own subplots and backstories, their own inner and outer arcs. So, these will need to be planned as you work out your main character&#8217;s story for the complete series and for each episode.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-281a8ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"281a8ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Comic book series checklist:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e138125 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e138125\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol><li>Does your protagonist have an overall series arc that&#8217;s interesting and complex enough to take seven episodes (or 28, or 100, or\u2026) to resolve?<\/li><li>Does the protagonist have an inner and an outer series arc?<\/li><li>Do your episode arcs mirror aspects of the series arcs so that with each episode resolution, your protagonist is a step further along the series arc?<\/li><li>Have you sketched out who your supporting characters will be?<\/li><li>Have you worked out backstories and subplots for your series of characters other than the protagonist?<\/li><li>Have you planned out your world building to create variety and excitement over the series and are all elements of your world meaningful to the story?<\/li><li>Have you split your series story into episodes and organized them into three acts?<\/li><li>Have you organized all the scenes within each episode into three acts?<\/li><\/ol><p>So, there you have it.
