Urban Fantasy & Superpowers

Urban fantasy is the highest-volume costume in the vertical market: one ordinary city, one impossible rule, and an audience that already knows how to read both. Superpowers are also the cheapest spectacle in the catalogue, because a power is an overlay on a background you have already drawn – a light, a bend, a held frame – and no location build is ever wasted. The cost sits in the city itself: rain, neon and reflective surfaces want parallax layers, and the moment a series gets busy on the street it stops being cheap. The three scripts below each solve that differently, and each keeps its expensive shot to one panel a week.
