Primeverse – Episode 1: "The First Panel"

Summary:

Jace Carter, a 12-year-old boy obsessed with superheroes and comics, dreams of creating his own superhero universe. With his best friend Emily, an artistic genius, he starts sketching his first comic: "Shadow Strike." The story follows a mysterious hero who can manipulate darkness and phase through shadows. Jace writes the story while Emily brings it to life with her drawings.

As they brainstorm, they face creative challenges—how should the hero get his powers? What’s his weakness? Who is his greatest enemy? Their excitement builds as they piece together their first comic, but not everyone believes in their vision. A school bully mocks their idea, but Jace and Emily refuse to give up, vowing that this is just the beginning of something big.

Jace & Emily Creating Their First Comic (Dialogue Scene):

[Jace’s room – comic books scattered, sketchbooks open, pencils and markers everywhere.]

🔹 Jace (flipping through a comic): “Alright, we need something original. Not just another superhero who flies and punches things.”

🔹 Emily (sketching): “Okay, what if our hero doesn’t fly, but moves through shadows? Like… he can disappear into the dark and reappear somewhere else?”

🔹 Jace (eyes widening): “YES! Like… like teleporting but only in the shadows! That’s sick! We’ll call him… Shadow Strike.”

🔹 Emily (nodding): “Ooooh, I love that. But what’s his backstory?”

🔹 Jace (thinking): “Hmm… What if he was an ordinary guy, but he got trapped in a weird experiment? Like, a scientist was testing light and darkness, and boom—he gets shadow powers.”

🔹 Emily: “And maybe his weakness is… too much light? Like, if he’s in direct sunlight for too long, his powers stop working.”

🔹 Jace: “Genius. But every hero needs a villain. What if there’s this guy who controls pure light—his arch-nemesis?”

🔹 Emily (already sketching): “Ooooh, and he could be called… Radiant! He’s all about blinding light, like a walking sun.”

🔹 Jace (grinning): “YES! Shadow vs. Light—classic rivalry. We’re making history, Em.”

🔹 Emily (laughing): “Or at least, our first comic.”

🔹 Jace: “First of many.”

[They high-five, ready to bring Shadow Strike to life.]

This episode sets up Jace’s love for superheroes, his creative bond with Emily, and the first step toward his future in filmmaking. Their comic universe is just beginning, but so is their real-life journey toward the Primeverse. 🚀

Primeverse – Episode 2: "The First Sale"

Summary:

Jace and Emily finish drawing their first issue of Shadow Strike and decide to sell it on their local street in America. They print 30 copies at a local shop, stapling them together by hand. Unsure about the pricing, they settle on $2 per copy—cheap enough for kids to buy but enough to make some profit.

They set up a small stand with a homemade sign: "ORIGINAL COMIC – SHADOW STRIKE – $2 EACH!" At first, people walk by without stopping, but soon, curiosity builds. Their first customers include a comic book nerd, a little kid, a teenager, and even an old man who just likes to support young talent. By the end of the day, they sell 21 out of 30 copies, making $42!

But not everything is smooth—some kids laugh at their comic, and a bully tries to grab one without paying. Despite the setbacks, Jace and Emily celebrate their first successful comic sale, using the money to print more copies and buy better drawing materials.

Dialogue – Selling Their First Comic

[Jace and Emily sit at their small table, comics stacked neatly, watching people pass by.]

🔹 Emily (whispering): “Uh… no one’s stopping.”

🔹 Jace (nervously): “Maybe we need a catchphrase or something?”

🔹 Emily: “How about… ‘Get the FIRST issue of the next big superhero!’”

🔹 Jace: “That’s fire. Let’s try.” (Louder) “ONLY $2! Be one of the FIRST to own Shadow Strike!”

(A young boy, around 9 years old, stops with his mom.)

🔹 Boy: “Shadow Strike? Who’s that?”

🔹 Emily (excitedly showing a page): “A hero who can move through shadows and fights the evil Radiant!”

🔹 Boy: “COOL! Mom, can I get one?”

🔹 Mom (smiling): “Of course, here’s $2.”

(Jace hands over the comic and grins as their first sale is made.)

[Later, a teenage comic nerd approaches.]

🔹 Comic Nerd: “You made this? The art looks dope.”

🔹 Emily: “Yep! Hand-drawn and written by us.”

🔹 Comic Nerd: “For $2? That’s a steal. Gimme three copies—I’ll keep one and give the others to my friends.”

🔹 Jace (trying to stay cool but freaking out inside): “Thanks, man! That’s $6.”

🔹 Comic Nerd: “If this blows up, I’ll have the original first issue. That’s an investment.”

(Jace and Emily exchange excited looks.)

[An older man stops by.]

🔹 Old Man: “What’s this? A homemade comic?”

🔹 Emily: “Yes, sir! We’re just getting started.”

🔹 Old Man (chuckles): “Reminds me of when I used to draw comics as a kid. I’ll take one.”

🔹 Jace: “Really?”

🔹 Old Man (handing them $5): “Keep the change. Invest in your dreams, kid.”

🔹 Emily: “Wow… thank you!”

[A school bully approaches with his friends.]

🔹 Bully (grabbing a copy): “Pfft, what’s this? Shadow Lame?”

🔹 Jace (grabbing it back): “Hey! You gotta pay.”

🔹 Bully (mocking): “$2 for this? I can print better stuff at home.”

🔹 Emily (crossing arms): “Then go print your own. Ours is original.”

(The bully scoffs but walks away. Jace and Emily high-five.)

End of the Day: Counting the Money

🔹 Jace (holding cash): “Dude… we made $42 today.”

🔹 Emily (grinning): “That’s insane. We can print more copies and buy better pens!”

🔹 Jace: “This is just the start, Em. One day, Shadow Strike is gonna be HUGE.”

🔹 Emily: “And we’ll be the ones who made it happen.”

(They fist-bump as the Primeverse journey truly begins.)

Primeverse – Episode 3: "Building the Hype"

Summary:

After their first successful sales day, Jace and Emily return to the streets with a new plan—they print 50 more copies of Shadow Strike #1 using part of their earnings. This time, they focus on marketing, making a colorful sign that says:

🦸 "SHADOW STRIKE - The Next Big Superhero! Only $2!" 🦸‍♂️

To attract more buyers, they offer a free hand-drawn character sketch with every purchase, an idea that brings in more comic fans. They also set up near a popular food truck, drawing in more customers than before.

By the end of the day, they sell 38 comics, earning $76! Some customers even ask, "When's issue #2 coming out?"—making Jace and Emily realize that their comic isn't just a one-time thing.

They celebrate with ice cream, but a new challenge arises: a local comic shop owner notices them and offers to sell their comics inside his store—IF they improve the quality. Now, they must level up their work to make it truly professional.

Dialogue – Selling Smarter

[Emily and Jace set up their stand near a busy street corner, adjusting their new sign.]

🔹 Emily (proudly looking at the sign): “This should grab more attention.”

🔹 Jace: “Yeah, way better than just yelling ‘Buy our comic!’ like last time.”

🔹 Emily (laughing): “You mean when you scared that old lady?”

🔹 Jace: “She was NOT ready.” 😅

[First Customer: A high school student who loves comics]

🔹 Teenager (looking at the comic): “This actually looks sick. You guys really made this?”

🔹 Emily: “Yep! Story, art, everything.”

🔹 Teenager: “Man… I wanna make comics one day too.”

🔹 Jace: “Dude, then start now! We just did.”

🔹 Teenager: “You know what? I’ll take two copies. One for me, one for my cousin.”

🔹 Emily: “That’s $4! Also, pick a character, and I’ll sketch it for free.”

🔹 Teenager: “No way! Draw Shadow Strike doing a cool pose!”

(Emily quickly sketches, and the teen walks away excited.)

[Second Customer: A little kid with his dad]

🔹 Kid: “Dad, I want a superhero comic!”

🔹 Dad: “Is this a Marvel or DC thing?”

🔹 Jace: “Nope! It’s an original superhero—one you’ve never seen before.”

🔹 Emily: “Our own universe. And you can say you got the first-ever issue.”

🔹 Dad: “Hmm. I like that. Supporting young artists. We’ll take one.”

🔹 Kid: “YAY!”

A Surprise Offer from a Comic Shop Owner

[Later in the day, a man in his 40s stops by. He wears a "Comics & More" store shirt.]

🔹 Shop Owner: “Been watching you kids all afternoon. You’re really selling these, huh?”

🔹 Jace: “Uh… yeah! We’re up to 38 sales today!”

🔹 Shop Owner: “Impressive. I own a local comic shop a few blocks away. You ever thought about selling inside a store?”

🔹 Emily: “Wait… like, on the shelves? Next to real comics?”

🔹 Shop Owner: “If you can improve the paper quality and add a better cover, I’d be willing to take a few copies on commission.”

🔹 Jace: “WHOA. We could actually be in a store?”

🔹 Emily: “That means we gotta step up our game.”

🔹 Shop Owner: “Think about it. If you’re serious, stop by my shop tomorrow.”

(He hands them his business card and walks away. Jace and Emily stare at each other, realizing their comic dream just got bigger.)

End of the Day: Counting the Money

🔹 Emily: “We made $76 today! That’s almost double what we made last time.”

🔹 Jace: “Dude… if we sell through a store, we could make even more.”

🔹 Emily: “Yeah, but that means we have to make our comics look better.”

🔹 Jace: “Then that’s the next step. We’re leveling up, Em.”

🔹 Emily: “One issue at a time.”

(They clink their ice cream cones together, knowing their Primeverse journey is just getting started.)

Primeverse – Episode 4: "From Street to Store"

Summary:

Jace and Emily take their comic Shadow Strike to the next level! After meeting with the comic shop owner, Mr. Leonard, they invest in better paper, a glossy cover, and add color to key pages. Not only do they upgrade Issue #1, but they also create Issue #2, continuing Shadow Strike’s action-packed story.

With their new and improved comics, Mr. Leonard agrees to sell them in his shop, "Leonard’s Comic Haven"—a well-known local store. The deal? They get 70% of the profit for each sale, and he keeps 30% for giving them shelf space.

Their comics sell surprisingly well, with over 20 copies sold in the first weekend! Some customers even request signed copies and ask when Issue #3 is coming. Jace and Emily realize they’re no longer just kids selling comics on the street… they’re building a real fanbase.

Dialogue – Taking It to the Next Level

[Jace and Emily sitting in Emily’s garage, working on the upgrades.]

🔹 Jace (holding old comic): “Okay, we can’t sell these in a store looking like cheap printer paper.”

🔹 Emily: “Agreed. We need glossy covers. Maybe a few color panels?”

🔹 Jace: “Dude. That sounds expensive.”

🔹 Emily (calculating on phone): “With the money we made last time, we can print 30 better copies of Issue #1 and 25 copies of Issue #2. But we’ll be broke after that.”

🔹 Jace: “Worth it. If we sell in a store, we’ll make the money back and more.”

Meeting with Mr. Leonard at His Shop

[Leonard’s Comic Haven – A cozy, comic-filled store with shelves stacked with Marvel, DC, indie comics, and collector’s editions. Jace and Emily walk in with their updated comics.]

🔹 Emily: “We want this to be the real deal.”

🔹 Mr. Leonard: “Alright, here’s my offer—I’ll sell them for $5 each. You get 70% of the profit, I keep 30%. If they sell well, we’ll talk about stocking more.”

🔹 Jace: “Deal.”

🔹 Mr. Leonard: “Good. Now let’s see if people actually buy them.”

First Day in the Store – Do People Buy It?

[Jace and Emily secretly watch from behind a shelf as customers browse the store.]

🔹 Customer #1: “Hmm… I’ll take one.”

🔹 Jace (whispering to Emily): “FIRST SALE!”

🔹 Emily: “Shhh! Act normal.”

🔹 Customer #2 – A Dad & His Kid:

🔹 Mr. Leonard: “Smart move, kid. You might be holding the first issue of the next big thing.”

(Jace and Emily fist-bump, barely containing their excitement.)
