Upcoming Fan Comic Project

Tangled the Series, later retitled Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure, was one of the many animated shows I watched this year, but unlike the others struck something in me. The 2D animation and writing reminded me of the classic Disney films I grew up on. It was like rediscovering my childhood and remembering why I was drawn to animation and storytelling in the first place. However, unlike other franchises that have inspired me, this series ended in a peculiar way that left me wanting more. Rapunzel’s story had ended and her last chapter was conclusive and satisfying, but some of the other characters introduced in the show, two in particular, had only just begun to tell theirs.

I am of course talking about Cassandra and Varian, two fan favorites. While there are no plans at Disney to continue their stories as of right now, I decided to take it upon myself to write them a fan-made sequel worthy of a mini series or full length motion picture. This is Twisted, a comic written and drawn by, yours truly.

Unfortunately, I have a full-time job and do all this on the side without being paid to, so keep in mind that progress will be slow going. However, I hope to launch the comic over on Webtoon Canvas by early 2021. Most of the story has been written out from start to finish, chapter one already has been scripted and thumbnailed, and I even have 11 panels finished. If I feel it is taking too long, I may opt out and write it as a fan fiction instead. Ideally, though, it will be a comic because, while there are already so many excellent Tangled series fan fictions, there are not a lot of comics.

Just below is the chapter one synopsis. Please feel free to ask me anything about Twisted. The journey begins soon, and I hope to see you there!

Five years have passed since Cassandra left Corona to find her destiny, and with little, she believes, to show for it. An ever present emptiness travels with her, and as she makes her way to the village of Armelle, an alchemical reaction occurs that starts her on a new adventure.
