So, I was thinking of starting my own comic, called Project R.E.M.
Project R.E.M. was originally an idea for a novel I'd had, but recently, I started thinking I could turn it into a comic. First, I'd like to gauge for the general interest though, so here's the premise:
Scientists have been hard at work creating a machine that can see and project dreams, dubbed the Reality Enactment Mindcore, or R.E.M. for short. We see the protaganists taking part in the tests at the research facility, effectively projecting the dreams of three subjects into reality. After a few more successful tests, the machine overheats and the experiment is shut down. The test subjects are sent home, where some of them start experiencing strange things during the night. Eventually, they learn that their dreams are being projected into reality without use of the machine. These people will eventually be named Savants.
I don't want to betray too much just yet, but they will grow stronger and eventually start fighting one another, using their dreams as weapons.
Do you think this idea could catch on, or not? Do you have any ideas you would like to share, or general opinions/criticisms? Basically, I would just like to know if I could get a few people interested enough to follow the story.
