Hello Escapists.
For the past few months, I've been working on and off on the world building, designing, and plotting for a sci-fi comic. I'm in the very early stages right now (I haven't even finalized the design of the antagonist aliens). What I'm looking for right now is a bit of feedback on the plot so far. The idea I have right now is the best I was able to think up to keep the story going and centered on a specific group of characters.
Here's a synopsis of the plot as it stands:
After some violent confrontations over territory, with attacks on colonies from both sides, humans have gotten into a war with insect-like aliens known as the Winnifred Cadwallader, [http://saluraropicrusa.deviantart.com/art/Sipuncula-303808711] sent to the outer edges of the combat zones on various small, usually scout missions. Here's the part that I'm not sure about: the ship is given orders to find and destroy or capture a smuggling ship that has enemy war criminals (supposedly) on it, and end up chasing this vessel for most of the story (it would end when they finally corner it). There's more to it than that but that's the basic idea.
I'm not sure that the plot is enough to carry on for very long though. What I'm looking for is feedback and maybe a bit of brainstorming to help flesh out my ideas or decide on something new if they need to be scrapped. I can provide details as necessary--I know what I've written here leaves out a lot but I didn't want to ramble on too long.
So... yeah. Any feedback or constructive input is greatly appreciated.
