In my script, I realised that I would have too many pages for the comic, as I don't have time to do a full 21-22 page comic. I thought that 16 pages would be manageable, and set to incorporate this into the script. After looking at what events and dialogue I had, it didn't look as if I could fit everything into 16 pages. [Do an example of 1 page per stage ---> 12 stages and explain why it would not have worked]. This meant cutting down the story. I wanted to keep it as Hero's journey as possible without rushing the events, so I ended up removing the last few stages. As important as these are, it still feels like the Hero's Journey up until that point since the Hero is called to adventure, encounters the Threshold Guardians and fights against the Big Bad for a reward, being the hostage in this story. The Resurrection/Road back are important stages, especially when it comes to the character developing, but the Reward stage does still give a resolved ending, to some extent.
My next task is to research into comics/layouts to give me ideas for thumbnails.
