Adam Beechen hits the books for his WildCats run

We’ve speculated quite a bit here recently, wondering how artists like Al Barrionuevo and Tim Seeley are able to draw so many heroes and villains in a single comic (and often, a single page.)

Another question, however - how does one prepare themselves to WRITE that many characters into a story? There are several fans out there with an encyclopedic knowledge of the WSU (at least a few of you are regulars in our comments section) - but I know at least I’d need to go back and do a LOT of reading just to make sure I’m able to keep everyone straight.

Over at Broken Frontier, upcoming WildCats writer Adam Beechen explains how he was able to prep himself to write a comic story that includes hundreds of the WSU’s characters. Check out his column here.

    I like seeing the enthusiasm Beechen seems to have for the title and the characters he’s going to be working with.

    I can’t wait to see some of the more obscure figures from the WS past that we might not necessarily be thinking about. I have a strong feeling we’re going to be impressed with who shows up.

    The Beechen enthusiasm is rubbing off on a lot WSU fans and we haven’t even read his WILDCATS run yet!

    Hey Shannon, how about including that chart of all the WSU characters in Beechen/Seeley WILDCATS trade.
