Setting, Mood, Themes for my Comic
My comic will be set in a nameless city. My idea is to blend a bunch of influences like Akira, Sin City, Taxi driver, New York slums circa 1980's-1990's, present day Detroit, Gotham, Etc. (Certain areas of every city in the 1st world)
I want the reader to get the feeling that it could be an area of their city, perhaps in the future, perhaps today.
Gritty, dangerous, everything unsavoury.
I think this will resonate with people (The buyer's of comics), because of the growing wealth gap between the rich and the poor and the general uncertainty, disillusionment and fear of the future.
There are countless articles, studies, novels and documentaries being made about how income inequality is leading to increased crime, increased drug use, and mostly increased division between the rich and the poor
The number of people living in high-poverty areas—defined as census tracts where 40 percent or more of families have income levels below the federal poverty threshold—nearly doubled between 2000 and 2013, to 13.8 million from 7.2 million, according to a new analysis of census data by Paul Jargowsky, a public-policy professor at Rutgers University-Camden and a fellow at The Century Foundation. That’s the highest number of Americans living in high-poverty neighborhoods ever recorded.
