Welcome to Manic Network!

Here, you will find like-minded individuals who know how difficult it is to juggle not only creating the story, but illustrating it as well. When you as the writer are also the illustrator, you find a certain amount of freedom to draw what you want, what your inner-eye sees. But with that freedom comes the blind-sidedness of only one perspective, your own. As a group, we can offer that unique second perspective and help unleash a story's true potential. I hope you can learn from the members here as well as teach others a thing or two about the art of story-telling.

Comic-Con arrival day JIM BRENNEMAN

Arriving at the San Diego Comic-Con has always been one of the most exciting parts of the experience. When you cross the street and see the crowds waiting to get in all dressed in various costumes and the banners from all your favorite Comic Book companies displayed everwhere it almost verges on a religious experience. Although I won't be going this year some of my characters decide to go anyway.
