Worldbuilding
How to Build a Fictional Comic Universe
Create cities, teams, rivals, locations, and continuity without copying existing franchises.
A fictional comic universe feels larger when characters share locations, teams, rumors, and consequences. Start with a few cities and let each one create story pressure.
Use connected locations
- Metrovale City for classic hero stories.
- Neonburg for cyberpunk street cases.
- Moonbridge for mystic curses.
- Orbital Nine for cosmic patrols.
Track continuity lightly
A lore keeper persona can track what happened, which rival escaped, and what the final page promised next.
