History (web comic): Difference between revisions

 

 

The comic has been known by a few names over time which alluded to it's shifting and developing place in the UJ-verse as a whole. History was originally intended not as a series in it's self, but purely as a few chapters, briefly telling the story of the characters as they all came together, ready for what was going to be the main comic named ''Ultima-Java'', this is why the comic was originally called ''Ultima-Java: History'', or simply ''UJ: History''. While development was in progress it was discovered that a lot of information could be weened from the years before the groups formation, and so the comic was developed more and more. It was decided towards the end of 2009 that the comic would drop ''Ultima-Java'', and take on ''History'' as it's main title. At the moment the story lines for History, stretch on for over twenty story arcs, each containing at least three chapters. NOTE: These are stories that have been written and mostly scripted, but not yet produced in comic form.

In September of 2009, Kevin Gibson joined the creative team of ''History''. The first chapter of the second story arc, (fourth chapter overall) is the first time that Kevin Gibson's contributions to History are published online, with the additions of characters and plot advisement.

 

History is broken up into Story arcs that are made up of multiple chapters, which consist of 23 pages and a cover. This convention was instituted in 2008, however due to the long hiatus was never implemented. As of the first chapter of the second story arc, these changes have been implemented.

There may be some confusion as to some of the terms that have been used in this article as well as the terms used in the comic. Though the comic has not directly referenced the differences in the Majick, Andy has constructed a cosmology chart, and explained the ways that Majick works in the UJ-verse.

 

** ''MIAO'' Majick In Appearence Only, or sometimes spelled as ''magic'', are other powers or skills that do not utilize the external energies. These are instead the natural abilities of Psychic powers like Pyrokinesis, or skills of performance magicians that create tricks and illusions through slight of hand.

 

* [[Aerith and Bob]]: There are many situations of normal everyday life, which are in star contrast to the fantastical that is seen also.

** Deviant Cause starts in a normal everyday, Earth-like city, before cutting to the Corridor, and Majick based conduit between Human worlds.

* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]: Many many plans have been spoken of that have yet to come to fruition.

* [[Word of God]]: A number of things concerning the background of the UJ-verse and some of the characters have been revealed on the Forum by the creators.
