Panel 1 - Captain Ash has Mary Jane Watson in his arms and about to kiss her. MJ clearly has a disgusted look at her face and her hands are trying to push Ash back.
BC: "Gimme some sugar baby."
Panel 2 - All of a sudden, Spider-man swings out of nowhere and kicks Captain Ash in the face.
BC: "Oof!"
Panel 3 - Spider-man and Captain Ash face down each other. Spider-man shoots some web fluid at Captain Ash, who easily cuts it away with his chainsaw. You can clearly see Superman in the background, with red underwear on, flying past, watching the fight.
Dialogue box: "In the most astonishing crossover movie this summer: It's a fight to the death as Captain America and Spider-man fight for Mary Jane Watson's affections...TO THE DEATH!
Spider-man: "You stay away from her, freak!"
BC: "Looks who's talking, you effeminate screwhead! Who dresses up in their underwear to fight?"
Panel 4 - Spider-man puts himself between MJ and Captain Ash.
Spider-man: "To get to her, you've got to go through me!"
Panel 5 - Ash spits on the ground and pulls out his boomstick.
BC: "Yo, she-bitch! Let's go!"
Panels 6 onwards - As much of a fight scene as possible. Please take creative license here Theo...have Captain Ash fighting dirty and cram in as many cheesy "Wham! Bap! Pow!" bubbles like those on the Batman TV series.
Panel X - Spider-man and Captain Ash, clearly tired, their costumes torn and tattered and both men sweating and bleeding, hunch over and face each other for the final time.
BC: "You still want a piece of me? Huh? Come get some."
Alright. I was inspired by this seemingly crazy crossover, but now I can't seem to think of a proper ending that will do this justice. Suggestions, Theo? At this rate, we can have a weekly strip of just Bruce Campbell as Captain America!

When Captain Ash throws his mighty shiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeld...
By popular demand (from the one other person who actually comes to read the stuff we post here): More of Bruce Campbell's misadventures as the Star Spangled Centurion - Captain Ash!
Panel 1 - Captain Ash and Iron Man, standing some distance away, like one of those showdowns you see in Westerns. (Camera angle: Perhaps starting from Iron Man's waist, and you see Captain America in the background. To emphasise that it's a "Western" kind of showdown, you could have one of those dust balls blowing across the panel)
Dialogue box: "And now: Outtakes and deleted scenes from Bruce Campbell's Captain America audition tape!"
BC: "Buckle up ironhead, coz you're going for a ride!"
Panel 2 - Captain Ash throws his shield towards Iron Man, who easily evades it.
Dialogue box (musical lyrics, so if you could add a note or two beside the text to indicate it's music...): "When Captain America throws his mighty shiiiiiieeeeld....."
BC: "That's it, go ahead and run. Run home and cry to mama!"
Panel 3 - Iron Man sticks out his tongue at Captain Ash with the words "neener neener" surrounding his head. Don't ask how Iron Man can stick his tongue out through his helmet...
Iron Man: "That the best you can do? Haha, you're a jerk! You're a goody little two-shoes!"
Panel 4 - Close up on Captain Ash's face. He has a raised eyebrow, a la The Rock.
Off panel Iron Man voice balloon: "Goody little two-shoes!"
Panel 5 - Captain Ash's expression has changed to anger. He reaches for the boomstick strapped to his back.
Off panel Iron Man voice balloon: "Goody little two-shoes!"
Panel 6 - Captain Ash shoots Iron Man in the face...metallic helmet pieces fly everywhere and we can see part of Iron Man's brain exploding out! A big caption of "BANG!" can be placed somewhere in the panel.
Iron Man: "Goody lit..."
Panel 7 - Captain Ash stands over the body of Iron Man and kicks him in the nuts.
BC: "I'm not THAT good."

Bruce Campbell as Captain America
Hey Ian, how about this image drawn as the panel before the one where he points to the "A" on his head? Imagine him going: "What's that? Surrender?"
And then the next panel is the classic Capt A one. Hehehe.. :oD
And then the next panel is the classic Capt A one. Hehehe.. :oD
Bruce Campbell is Captain America!
Still on Captain America and Bruce Campbell...this one MUST come immediately after the previous one, because I'm still establishing Bruce Campbell as Captain America.
Panel 1 - Bruce Campbell, in Captain America outfit (still with the chainsaw and the shield) posing, a la THIS image.
Dialogue box: "Exclusive! Secret tapes from Bruce Campbell's audition for the Captain America movie: revealed for the first time!"
Bruce Campbell (BC): Klaatu varada nik*coughcoughcough*to!
Panel 2 - Captain America slugging Iron Man (Theo: If you could make it such that it looks like the cover to Captain America #1, that'd be great! Perhaps show BC's chainsaw also ripping into Iron Man's armour)
Dialogue box: "See Captain America fighting for leadership of the Avengers!"
BC: "Well hello Mr Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leading but two things: Jack and shit. And Jack left town."
Panel 3 - Bruce Campbell throwing his shield into some A.I.M or Hydra agents.
Dialogue box: "Watch as Captain America protects our land from terrorists!"
BC: "Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! You see this? This is my BOOMSTICK! Errr...shield. Sorry."
Panel 4 - Close up of Bruce Campbell pointing at the "A" on his forehead. (Theo: You MUST use this classic image right here!)
Dialogue box: "Witness Captain America's passion for the red, white and blue!"
Bruce Campbell (BC): "Surrender? SURRENDER?! You think this letter on my head stands for France?"
Panel 5 - Bruce Campbell puts his hand to the side of his mouth, as if he is whispering to the reader.
BC: "It actually stands for Ash. Ashley J. Williams. Who wants to know?"
Panel 6 - Bruce Campbell bends a hot chick backwards (think one of those trashy romance novel covers) and is just about to kiss her.
Dialogue box: "See Captain America save the day and then get the girl!"
BC: "Gimme some sugar baby."
Panel 7 - Captain America in a traditional "US Rules!" pose (Perhaps something like the background image here)
Dialogue box: "Come watch Captain America: the sure-to-be highest grossing blockbuster movie of 2008, coming soon to a cinema near you!"
BC: "Hail to the king, baby."
I think these two scripts have been by far my favourites to write, especially this one!

Captain America: Groovy.
I wanted to do something about Captain America's death, and since you were talking about Bruce Campbell, I thought this one up!
Panel 1 - Image of Captain America surrendering to Iron Man (check out pages of Civil War #7 for a shot). Perhaps he could have his arms together, stretched out, as if presenting himself to be handcuffed. (It'd be funny if someone threw something at Iron Man's head and it bounced off...or splashed like a tomato)
Dialogue box: "In 2007, Captain America voluntarily surrendered to S.H.I.E.L.D and the forces led by Iron Man to end the Marvel Civil War."
Panel 2 - Image of Captain America being handcuffed and led away.
Dialogue box: "Captain America was arrested and put on a very public trial."
Panel 3 - Captain America, lying on the ground bleeding to death. (Check out this picture for reference)
Dialogue box: "But a single bullet from an assassin's rifle ended his legacy."
Panel 4 - completely black, with only the text in white.
Text going across the middle of the panel as large as possible: "Or did it?"
Panel 5 - Ash mimicking his pose from Army of Darkness but in a Captain America costume. The "wench" by his side is wearing a S.H.I.E.L.D uniform - Sharon Carter perhaps? (Theo: Perhaps for this, it'd be great to recreate the ENTIRE movie poster of Army of Darkness - click to see - but dress Ash up in a Captain America costume. His chainsaw MUST be seen though. Please put Captain America's shield in Ash's left hand though)
Dialogue box at the top of the panel: "Coming in 2008: Bruce Campbell auditions for the Captain America live action movie!"
Bruce Campbell: "Groovy.

Bruce Campbell auditioning for The Comedian
Hey Ian! Remember how I said BC looks perfect for the role of The Comedian in the coming Watchmen movie? How about a script of BC auditioning for the character, but still very much in his Ash mentality?
E.g. saying "Groovy." when given a form to fill in, or "Come get some." when it's his turn. And maybe one of the last few panels or something where one of the staff (a woman for our purposes) says he can't get the part. BC (Ash) then gets mad and says "Yo, she-bitch, let's go!!!" and then there's a full shot of BC in Ash mode complete with buzzing chainsaw and classic crazy Ash grin on his face.
OH!!! AND LEST I FORGET!! The reason why he's probably rejected is because he forgets his part!! Like you know how he forgets the magic word in the movie? Like "Clatto Verata Niii *cough cough*" Haha, get what I mean? :oD
Maybe a scene of him and the director of Watchmen could go like this too:
Zach Snyder: You're not one of my actors... who are you?
Ash: Who wants to know?
Zach Snyder: I am Zach Snyder. Director of 300 and Watchmen, Lord of the box office in early 2007 and leader of its fans.
Ash: Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things right now: Jack and shit... and Jack just left town.

I'm the best at what I do!
Let's have something from Marvel Comics for a change:
Panel 1 - A close-up shot of Wolverine's face, with half his face burned off and the hair on that side of his head obviously singed and burning. His face is battle scarred and there are some open wounds and bleeds.
Dialogue box across the top of the panel:
"You wanna know what pain is? You don't know pain, bub, until you've met me."
Panel 2 - Wolverine fighting Sabretooth
Dialogue box: "I've been in more scraps than any one person could possibly have. I was born with a chip on my shoulder and a berzerker temper to match it. I'm the little guy, but unlike him, I'm no pushover and give as good as I take."
Panel 3 - Weapon X facility. Wolverine is naked in a human-sized test-tube, his face filled with anguish. Scientists standing around him are injecting adamantium into his pores (you might want to check the Marvel Comics Presents comics or any online image reference about the Weapon X project and how Wolverine got his adamantium, Theo) Wolverine lets out a loud scream of pain.
Dialogue box: "The Weapon X project taught me the true meaning of pain. When you get hot molten metal injected into your pores, you'll know what I mean."
Panel 4 - Wolverine getting the adamantium pulled out of him by Magneto a la the cover (and interior) of X-Men #25
Dialogue box: "And just when I thought the pain could get no worse, along came Magnus to show me how wrong I was."
Panel 5 - Wolverine with his claws popped and his finger beckoning, a la the Frank Miller cover of Wolverine #1 (mini-series) (Click on the link to see the cover, Theo! Perhaps a "Snikt!" somewhere in the panel would be good as well)
Dialogue box: "But whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
Panel 6 - Same panel as the last one, but with Wolverine's half burned face and singed hair, a la the first panel of this script.
Dialogue box: "I'm the best there is at what I do, and what I do isn't very nice."
Panel 7 - The camera pulls out and we can see Wolverine standing behind a BBQ grill, with the flame reaching just below his face. It has obviously all gone wrong for him with the flame burning half his face off. Stuck on each of his three claws that have been popped (lower down, so that they aren't visible in the other previous panels) are three separate sausages...feel free to use either chicken wings or whatever else you want to signify that he's at a BBQ.
There are several other X-men at the BBQ and they're all standing impatiently in line, holding plates. Jubilee (or Jean Grey or any other X-Man you can think of that would be funny for this scene) is first in line and she is tapping her foot impatiently.
Jubilee: "Are you done yet?"
Wolverine: "Shut up."

Batman Vs Frank Miller
I just can't get over how bad Frank Miller's "I'm the goddamn Batman" line is from All-Star Batman, so while I was waiting to pick up Aeris from the train station yesterday, this idea came to me and I fleshed out the script in about five minutes.
Knowing how much you love Batman AND Frank Miller, I hope you get a kick out of this, Theo!
Panel 1 - Dialogue box at the top of the panel. Batman is perched atop a roof (either crouched or standing) looking down at the streets
"I can smell the musty thick coat of dried blood on every corner. I can hear the screams of the women being beaten up and raped by big sweaty men. If you walk down the right back alley in this town you can find anything. This city reeks of evil. This city reeks of SIN."
Panel 2 - Image same as the first - figured out where Batman is yet?
Dialogue box: "Gotham is like Metropolis, compared to this cesspool of a town. No one knows fear here. No one has..."
Word balloon coming from off-panel, from the right:
"Oi! What the #$%& are you doing on my set?"
Panel 3 - Batman turns and looks to the right. Frank Miller has walked into the panel.
Batman: "What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm the goddamn Batman." (Theo, if you could make this appear EXACTLY the way the word balloons appear in All-Star Batman [see this blog entry of yours] that'd be great!)
Batman: "Who the hell are you?"
Panel 4 - Frank Miller speaks!
Frank: "I'm Frank Miller."
Panel 5 - Both characters just look at each other. Complete silence.
Panel 6 - Batman: "Think I can play Dwight in the next movie, Mr Miller?"

Theo: That's pretty damned fantastic for a draft! I can only imagine how good it'd look with finished pencils/inks etc etc. Probably not necessary to have the inks, not until we get our property up and running anyway!
With regards to whether we're keeping this site as our ideas site or not, that's a good suggestion. We'll just keep this blog where we can bandy about our ideas and if we get something up and running, we'll get a proper website. OoOOo...getting excited!
Also, I'll leave it up to you to take artistic license over what actually appears on the panels. Everyone knows I can't draw and while I have a certain sense of positioning and camera angles and stuff like that, because you're the artist, you've had a better grasp of what looks better, storytelling-wise, than I do. I'm happy to just come up with the ideas and the crux of the story, but please feel free to make changes and alter stuff as you see fit.
With regards to the revised Ladiesman217 script, I think the 9th panel is probably unnecessary. With the original toothy grin, I think we get what Sam's intention is already. Plus, I really like that 8th panel, which further cements his predatory ways. But the 9th panel would seem a bit gratuitous...you know the saying "less is more"? If we leave out the 9th panel, we could leave it up to the imaginations of our readers...and they can think of some pretty nasty things!

LadiesMan217 first draft
First and incomplete draft.. :oP Apology to readers, for now you'll have to save the pic to see it in its entirety as 400 width doesn't allow much detail (e.g. the speech) to be seen properly.
Nonetheless, here's the 400 width one:
LadiesMan217
Wooo, hey Ian, did a bit of visualizing in my head and here's a little addition to your original :oD
Panel 1 - Barricade "interrogating" Sam.
(View from back with Sam down on his butt and his back facing reader, Barricade facing reader, in threatening pose)
Panel 2 - (Close up panel, side of Sam's and Barricade's faces)
Barricade: "Are you username LadiesMan217?"
Sam: "Uh..."
Panel 3 - Barricade advances more threateningly and asks more fiercely.
(Close up frontal face shot of a very enraged and impatient Barricade, with slight top of Sam's head at bottom of panel)
Barricade: "ARE YOU USERNAME LADIESMAN217?" (red LED eyes blazing)
Panel 4 - (Show top half of Sam's frightened face, sweat dripping down temple and forehead, focus is on his eyes)
Sam: "Uh, no...."
Panel 5 - (Show bottom half of Sam's face. Sam flashes a wide toothy grin at Barricade. Focus on evil predatory grin, showing bared teeth)
Sam: "I'm actually BotLover69."
(Panels 4 and 5 can be just Sam's full face, but split into two frames showing the two different emotions. Panel 6 just beside 4 and 5)
Panel 6 - (Barricade does a o.O face in surprise and (mouth in) revulsion)
Panel 7 - Barricade, with his arms out, leans back and slowly backs away from Sam.
Panel 8 - (Sam audibly "snaps" on latex glove on his right hand. Right hand in foreground, but not completely blocking Sam's face with evil grin)
Sam: "Playtime."
Panel 9 - (View of other part of "set", not showing Sam and Barricade)
Barricade: "Nuh..nuhhh... NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" (words go across panel)
End.
Hehehe..what do you think? Panel 1 and 2 could probably be combined together if necessary.

Should we host the webcomics here or somewhere else?
Glad you liked it. Ideas were flying fast and furious in my brain and I wanted to get them all down, which explains the lack of descriptions barring the basic premise and the dialogue.
I like your interpretation of the Ladiesman217 script! Hey, I'm just thinking, if this does pick up like it might, did we want to send our communiques some other way and keep it so that this site becomes the actual host site of the webcomics, OR did we want to start another website just to host the comics?
I know I shouldn't be thinking TOO big, but I'm thinking PvP and Penny Arcade and stuff like that.

Hey, I'm just thinking, if this does pick up like it might, did we want to send our communiques some other way and keep it so that this site becomes the actual host site of the webcomics, OR did we want to start another website just to host the comics?

Hey Ian! Love this one, hehehe... Fleshing out for some imagery, lemme know what you think too. :oD
Panel 1 - Barricade "interrogating" Sam.
(View from back with Sam down on his butt and his back facing reader, Barricade facing reader, in threatening pose)
Barricade: "Are you Ladiesman217?"
Sam: "Uh..."
Panel 2 - Barricade advances more threateningly and asks more fiercely.
Barricade: "ARE YOU LADIESMAN217?"
Sam: "Uh, no. I'm actually BotLover69."
Panel 3 - Sam flashes a wide toothy grin at Barricade. (focus on evil predatory grin, showing bared teeth)
(Barricade does a o.O face)
Panel 4 - Barricade, with his arms out, leans back and slowly moves away from Sam.
Barricade: "Uh ok. Sorry, my bad."

Fantastic art by Theo!
Theo: Absolutely brilliant! You're doing it more justice than I can do with the script! I don't have an artistic bone in me!
Think I'll stop with the ideas for now, since there are a lot of ideas I've just posted up so far. What do you think so far? Anything really good? Any stinkers?
Which one do you like the most?

300 Vs Transformers
Panel 1 - King Leonidas addressing his 300 Spartans, a la the famous scene from Braveheart.
Leonidas: "We have taken on ALL challengers and we have ruled the Box Office this year! We have shown that we're not just men, we're Spartans!"
Panel 2 - Leonidas continues.
Leonidas: "Spider-man? Pfah, what an emo weakling! Shrek couldn't tame us! The pirates were a bunch of sissy men! WE RULE HOLLYWOOD THIS YEAR! And Tonight! We will dine in hell! FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Panel 3 - A huge robotic foot comes out of nowhere and stomps Leonidas flat. A speech bubble comes out from above (off panel).
Optimus: "Autobots! Transform and roll out!"
Panel 4 - The 300 disperse with random lines being uttered by random Spartans.
Line 1: "Well, it was good while it lasted."
Line 2: "Men in costumes just can't beat robots."
Line 3: "I can't believe Bay just pwned Snyder."
A miniaturised Megatron, hiding among the Spartans, turns to a miniaturied Starscream and says: "You fail me yet again, Starscream."
Leonidas: "We have taken on ALL challengers and we have ruled the Box Office this year! We have shown that we're not just men, we're Spartans!"

Transform and roll out!
And another! I'm on a ROLL today, haha!
Panel 1 - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee (the old one which turned into a VW) and a few other Autobots standing in a line.
Optimus: "Autobots! Transform and roll out!"
Panel 2 - all the Autobots except Prime and Bumblebee have transformed. Bumblebee looks at Prime and asks:
"Roll out?" The hell does that mean? Shouldn't it be "Drive", or "Speed away", or "Move forward", or "Let's go", or..."
Panel 3 - Optimus takes out his rifle/sword and shoots/chops off Bumblebee's head off his torso.
Panel 4 - The remains of Bumbleebee has fallen to the ground and you can clearly see his "feet" resembling the front of an old school Mercedes Volkswagon. Prime looks straight at the reader and says:
What? He was "bugging" me!
Off panel, or at the bottom right corner of the panel is the word: "ZING!" in bold font.

Chris Latta-mania!
And another!
Panel 1 - Chris Latta (the voice of Starscream and Cobra Commander) in the panel, delivering a monologue - (Theo: You might want to wikipedia him to see what he looks like)
"Hi, my name is Chris Latta. You may remember me as the voice of Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe and Starscream from Transformers. I was also the voice of Montgomery Burns in the first two seasons of the Simpsons."
Panel 2 - still delivering his monologue
"A lot of people might be wondering: Why wasn't I hired to do the voice of Starscream in the 2007 live action Transformers movie? I know a lot of you are big fans of Starscream and Cobra Commander, thanks mostly to my voice (which I'm sure is more recognisable than Peter Cullen aka Optimus Prime).
Panel 3 - still monologue
"Well, in case some of you don't know, I couldn't audition for the part. I've been dead for 15 years. That's how Hank Azaria got my role in The Simpsons..."
Some random dude sticks his head in the panel and yells: "You disappoint me again, Starscream!"
Panel 4 - Latta stares forward blankly.
Panel 5 - Latta about to leave the panel to chase down the random dude.
"Excuse me while I go kick some fleshling butt. And now you know why I wasn't a part of the movie. And knowing is half the battle. COBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Demolisher 1st Draft
Wooo, ok, first draft to get a feel for panel layout etc.. how's it Ian? Have yet to finish the other panels from your script. :oP
Chronologically disabled!
Well, considering my contributions are ONLY Transformers ones...
By the way, this blog is set to Perth time. But whenever I post, I always change the time to reflect what time it is HERE before I click the "Publish Post" button, which is why the chronological order is screwed up. Do you want me to keep to Perth time to make things fit chronologically? I'll just edit the two Transformers posts to make it so.
Make it so. I feel like a Trek effort coming up.

Transformers webcomic contribution Take 2!
Hmmm...not that great, yeah? How about this one then?
Panel 1 - Optimus Prime and Megatron, in a scene from Transformers: The Movie (the 1986 cartoon version) about to engage in hand to hand combat.
Optimus: "One shall stand, one shall fall."
Megatron: "Why throw away your life so recklessly, Prime?"
Panel 2 - Optimus and Megatron, engaging in hand to hand cmobat.
Optimus: "That's a question I should be asking you, Megatron."
Megatron: "No! I'll rip out your optics!"
Panel 3 - The music/lyrics of Stan Bush's "The Touch" (from Transformers: The Movie) suddenly blares across the top of the panel.
"...You're at your best when the going gets tough, you've been put to the test but it's never enough...you've got the touch...you've got the power..."
Optimus and Megatron stop fighting momentarily and look upwards at the lyrical text.
Panel 4 - Optimus and Megatron walking off screen.
Megatron: "This movie blows. 'The Touch'? What the hell? Someone put us in a GOOD movie already!"
Optimus: "I heard Michael Bay was available. We need to do something about that pussy Bumblebee though...what a whiner. And who the hell calls their kids 'Spike' nowadays?

My first attempt at a webcomic script!
Somehow, I think we really should do something about the Transformers. After all, it's just it's only the biggest in-thing right now!
I was thinking something along the lines of that trivia stuff Theo put up in his blog?
Panel 1 - Devastator (the tank) is rolling across the street, crushing all manners of vehicles in its path.
"GRAH! I am Demolisher, puny humans! Feel my wrath!"
Panel 2 - Random editor sticks his head into the panel. He tells the robot: "Uhm, actually, since there hasn't been any Transformer by that name, we're changing your name to 'Brawl', since there's already a Combaticon by that name. Carry on."
Panel 3 - Devastator transforms and starts picking up humans and flinging them across the panel.
"GRAH! I am Brawl, puny humans! Feel my fury!"
Panel 4 - The same editor sticks his head into the panel again. He tells the robot: "Uh...just did some checking. Your name's listed as 'Devastator' in the movie, so that's what you're called from now on. Please continue."
Panel 5 - Devastator looks bemused and starts stomping on random vehicles.
"GRAH! I am Devastator, puny humans! Feel my power!"
Panel 6 - Same editor sticking his head in again. "Uh...I've been told by Hasbro execs that there's a Devastator already and he's one of the main characters in the next movie, so..."
Panel 7 - Devastator, obviously annoyed at the editor, tears his head off and chomps it down. Half of the editor's body can still be seen in the panel with blood dripping from the now headless neck.
Panel 8 - Devastator resumes the carnage.
"GRAH! I am annoyed at stupid continuity changes. Kill all fleshlings!"

Kiasu Law
This scenario just got into my head while I was making coffee:
Geeks face off a bunch of kiasu aunties who are jostling to buy a PS3 for their kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews, and the aunties are formed together with their umbrellas acting as spears and shields (open umbrellas), with their "helmets" of permed hair or maybe even mohawks. And they're screaming against the geeks, "No retreat! No surrender! For this is kiasu law!!!"
Hmm, sounds familiar, no? Hahaha!!! Maybe we can fit that into the comic somewhere. Hurhur!
