I believe I mentioned it last year, so I figure I might as well give it a shout-out again this year, so please note that David Seidman’s online comic book writing course at mediabistro.com starts November 3rd. Click here for the link.

So has anyone taken this course, or know someone who has? Sounds like something I’d be interested in, but $350 is a bit steep without knowing anything about the quality of the course.

I think the most important thing I need to know about the course is the teacher’s stance on Jeph Loeb comics? Does he recommend them? Find any merit in them? Use them as teaching materials? Does he think there is such a thing as a good Jeph Loeb comic, past, present or future?

Took the class – good and not-as-much good.
The class is really helpful in making you walk through the process of making a pitch, outline, and script. Good feedback from teacher and students. If you’re not able to participate or aren’t likely to finish the weekly assignments, then it’s definitely not worth it.
The “what next” was the most frustrating part for me. A newbie won’t get a polished script in the six weeks, but I wanted to know more about how to get it published, where to go, more specific help on getting an artist. But I guess some of these items you just learn by doing. The focus is really on the writing, and that part is really very good.
