Hello everyone!
This is the first chapter of a high school sports football series I've been playing around with for the past year and a half - Touchdown Dance! It's designed to be a VERY lengthy, short chapter comic telling the tale of the Canyon Ridge High School Dragons as they look to be the best high school football team in the country.
I have only had one chapter drawn/colored for this, although I have multiple arcs written out and over 15 chapters currently written. My initial hope with this was to find a place willing to help subsidize the cost toward making this comic and publish it weekly. At this point, this has not happened, although I'm still open-minded to the possibility.
My goal with this comic is to create a more western iteration of the sports manga genre. Stories like Haikyuu, Slam Dunk, and Blue Lock are incredibly popular internationally - why is there no American version of it? That was my goal in putting this together - to tell a story that actually focuses on the sport in question and the characters' personal journeys.
I come from a background of writing about football, so I want to delve into schemes within this story. I love when teams in sports manga create strategies and counters to succeed on the field. I've already created enemy "teams" that deploy the no-huddle offense, the triple option, and zone blitzing, among other schemes.
Additionally, I'm hoping to showcase strong representation in this story - including women who play football, LGBTQ+ character development, and characters from all types of backgrounds and nationalities. This is crucial for me and will always be a keystone to this story.
As of now, this will be the only chapter. If you want more, PLEASE make it be known! Feel free to post under this story, post on social media, and who knows - maybe something will happen!
As is, thanks to JC Grande for the art, Elena Ceccotti for the cover, and I hope you enjoy at least this little snippet.
