The beginning

So I finally decided to go through with making a superhero comics.
After years (almost a decade!) of having the story and characters running in my head in various and changing versions, I think it's time they moved into paper.
And it's terrifying.
I can't help but think: what if it will suck?
There's a reason why people use the phrase "it sounded better in my head" so much (and with such surprise). Everything sounds better in our head (even our voices), because there's nothing to challenge it. It just floats in there careless and smug.
But then again, if it's something we really want to realize, isn't it worth the risk?
I mean what's the worst that would happen? I wasted lots of time about something that leads nowhere? Failures are also important for growth. And in any case, I don't really believe it's as binary as either you did it or not. You can still fail but learn so much along the way (and I will be more than happy to share).
Yeah, I think I actually managed to convince myself.
So, here goes nothing.
