The Titan universe, even though they are books, is designed to feel more like the monthly comic book superheroes that I grew up with. The first book, The Midnight Hour, is paced much more like a novel. The second book, City Under Siege, still has more of a novel approach but also starts to have the pacing change a little bit. By the third book, Shadow Games, the pacing will feel much more like a comic book. Each chapter will come to feel like a monthly issue of the ongoing saga of our hero, Titan. The series will get inundated with characters and side stories that either fit in between or within and around the main stories the novels are telling. It is then my job to maintain a healthy balance with all of that.
Since I am no artist and knew no comic artists this was the only way I knew to get my own superhero world out there to the masses. I have tried to keep the covers for the books as close to comic book style as I can. I have even tried to keep the interior artwork as close to the interior panelled art of comics. I hope to be able to get more art in the coming books, but as I can only do what my budget allows as I am paying freelance artists we will see. I wanted at least double the art in The Midnight Hour, but had to settle to to budget. I should be able to get double in City Under Siege and who knows from there.
