Spinning to Infinity is the name of my first webcomic in about five years. It's a Sunday comics format (comics page turned on its side horizontally) posting 2-3 times a week.

Each installment is a self-contained story with a new artist with a new genre, but a common theme that ties all the stories together. No genre or artist will appear more than once (at least at first).

Our own AJ Jothikumar is thinking about participating if he likes the script.

I've got 18 artists so far, and I've done one script and counting. I'm letting the artists decide what they're most comfortable drawing and then building a script off of that. Though I own the overall universe, all the characters and settings drawn by that days artist are co-owned by the artist. Plus, other than the Web, I plan to pursue iPhone/iPad and print for this project.

Here's a list of subjects they'll be tackling, assuming they're OK with the script I send. I'm really excited about this, guys and gals.

----------

Fauns and nymphs, bulls and minotaurs in ancient Crete (this is the one I've written so far, and artist Mavin "mpMann" Mann really liked the script).

A setting in Venice

Some sort of 40s/50s detective story

Something like Scott Pilgrim or Archie (if the writer of Archie had been dropped on the head, perhaps)

Tarzan type stuff and of course superhero

John Carter of Mars riff

Superhero/science-hero (sci-fi/adventure)

Something with a Silver Age tone or anything in an ancient or B.C. setting

Action / horror / sci-fi stuff

Moebius future/fifth element style super detailed robot stuff

Wild West, Elizabethan England, or '70s funk

Space girls fighting alien monsters

As long as i can get the western (This is AJ's.) :)

A zombie story sounds like fun

A detective or adventure pulp type story

Mythology like faeries, witches and mermaids, and fairytales

Outer space, for instance. The future. A western or historic. The 60's. A desert island. Anything!

Dinos, detective or astronauts

---------

I'll post some art here when I get it!

It's looking like a fresh and different take on the medium.

I like the premise and the juxtapostion of the (I believe) photo manipulation in the background with the picasso-like figure of the woman and again with the style of the figures, which is reminds me of old-school newspaper political cartooning.

So how many strips will be needed until someone can figure out there is a connection.

Thanks! Circumstances have prevented me from scripting any more and setting up the website, but I hope to get to both this weekend.

People will notice the theme right away, but it might take them awhile to figure out that they all take place in the same universe.
