Ooh, so this is the big project you are working on? :3
Hmm, it's nice to know the basics ahead of time, but sometimes I like the stories where you learn about the world along with the protagonist, but that only works when he/she knows as little about that world as does the reader xP
Either way is fine by me as long as it's done right x) I'm excited to see where this project leads!

In my opinion, it really depends on how you've written the story and how you've designed the world.

It leaves some surprises and some interesting food for thought if you can work all the necessary details into the story itself. However, if there are any important details that
-the readers need to know right from the get-go
-will be difficult to adress smoothly during the story
-and/or things that people might make incorrect assumptions about
then you should probably tell everyone these things beforehand just to make sure everyone understands properly.

So, like I said before, it really depends on the complexity of your world and how easy it will be to fit details into the storywriting.

Hope I helped! ovo

Re: Okay then! :D Glad I could help! x)

I prefer the former, but as Viri said we may need to know certain things, depending on what you include in the story itself.

I'd say the first bullet by a long shot.

Ahhh I wanted to comment on this but I forgot! x3 I'm so sorry!
I prefer the second one - it's what I personally like better, because otherwise I tend to get confused really easily.
If the information is explained good and fitting to the context though, that might do it as well :>

Re: Awe thank you!
You're the first one to ever ask this, to be honest :D
Well, in the actual story their relationship is kind of like littermates. Their world is, in the protagonist's point of view, dark and a bit hopeless, yet that changes as the story continues.
Their story is.. well...they are actually humans so... the girl is schizophrenic and the boy is a voice within her mind (he should've been transparent in the painting but that didn't look good XD). He's stubborn and gloating and stuff, whereas she is the complete opposite of that - shy and naive, yet pretty smart.
Again, it's no problem at all, as long as you don't mean to steal them or so x3

Yeah I agree with the second one. It pulls the reader into the storyline without real explanation which sparks interest. As the story progresses, the explanation for the events begin unraveling themselves, providing the reader with visual explanations along with the plots explanations. It also makes it easier for u as the writer and the artist. You can publish pages at a steady rate without worrying about the storyline so much. Because once u put the ideas into visual form, the story can write itself. Just be mindful that u don't want to overthink the story's complexity. If u overthink you will lose the central focus of the comic. Take Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog Series for instance. The used to be good with making their stories flow, but then they added the multiverse concept into the mix and then the breaking of timelines because of chaos energy. It caused everything to go south. Nothing made scene anymore.

Re: I so know what you mean! :D Sure, seeing characters by someone who does great art (not boasting, I'm not talking about myself xD) is one thing, but knowing their backstories makes everything way more exciting! :3
And thank you so much, I didn't expect this story to be that great for others! :'D
I don't mean to sound nosey.. but I was also wondering why you asked this question up there - about information being explained in a story...? :>
