Van's comic needs a name! -- Congrats to BabaLouie, the winner!

vanarchy · 09-11-06, 11:36 PM

Justin: Sorry to be flooding the Off Topic area with threads about my comic, but I'm trying to keep certain aspects of it separate from each other.

Okay guys and girlies, my comic needs a name. Over time, I intend to give a lot of reader involvement and interactivity to the comic, from helping me decide the direction of the story, to deciding which model of car will be the main opponent in each issue, etc. But for now... I need a name!

We all know and love the Japanese manga titles like Initial D, Wangan Midnight, Over Rev!, etc. They're silly names, but at the same time they're endearing, unique, and fun.

I want that feeling.

So suggestions like "Rad JDM Racin' Dudes!" and "Xtreme Racing" won't get very far.

Now, it's a 240Z-centric story, but the name doesn't have to revolve around the Z. The name "Initial D" has nothing specifically to do with the AE86, nor do the words "Wangan Midnight" have anything to do with the Devil Z. So feel free to come up with anything silly but unique. UNIQUE!

THE PRIZE. Yeah, there's a prize. I'm not rolling in money though, so it's not cash or a gift certificate or an iPod, damn y'all! All I can offer is for your car - or the car of your choice - to be the first car that features in the story other than the S30Z.

So if you own a nice car and want to see it featured in my comic so you can brag to all your buddies (haha, yeah like you'd ever do that!), here's your ticket to success.

Please keep this thread on track guys, I don't wanna filter through irrelevant posts to get to your entries.

Cheers!

UPDATE!

Well, we've got a winner! Congratulations to BabaLouie for coming up with Endless Spirit: Final Evolution Z. Expect to see his car featured in the comic!

MFN-MAN · 10-11-06, 01:33 AM

Without knowing really what the story is about or background of any real characters it'd be hard for us to come up with a suitable name...some of the suggestions are intersting though

Here are a few of mine:

Urban Street Warriors

Tarmac Warriors

Z Fury: The story of...

Good luck Van

MFN-MAN: Good point, haha.

I'm really liking some of these suggestions guys, keep 'em coming!

lovesil · 10-11-06, 08:16 AM

I agree it's abit better for us to think of names if we had a brief idea of the storyline.

Anyway, here's mine:

1) The wheels of a Z
2) The life of a racer
3) Start your engine

Or we can name the title according to WORDS like:

4) Velocity And Neil (= VAN, plus the main character's called Neil)
5) Just Da Man (JDM)

*Now.....where's my prize
