What makes a good comic title?
A great name captures the essence of your story and piques interest. Understand your comic’s themes and characters. Identify key elements that inspire a title. Brainstorm potential names using keywords of your story. Ensure your title is unique. Copycat or very similar titles cause confusion and competition. Use mnemonic devices so readers remember the name. Make the character, not book, remembered. Books come and go, but characters can move between books. Create an iconic character that endures. Review the character’s goals and origin story. Choose something thematically appropriate that fits their personality. Unusual, strange words can make memorable titles. The title "Subnormality" fits the comic’s themes. Simply use the main character’s name. Brainstorm a list of potential names without judging them. Then narrow down the list to the perfect, unique, representative name.
