How do you translate writing for animation to a graphic novel

I work in the film industry and I’m somewhat of a decent artist. I’ve been writing my story for years now as an animation but now I want to make it a graphic novel since it seems like less money and time up front than animating and voice acting and all that. What’s the best way to translate seasons and episodes into books?

Would you rather see golden age style outfits or more of an lowkey vigilante fit

My story takes place after the golden age of heroes are killed off. The golden age heroes that are left are stuck in an old way of doing things and it’s up to the new generation to save the world from a brand new threat.

From the beacon golden child to runaway turned vigilante: Alison Burke aka Indigo

Alison Burke is the daughter of Void, one of the main heroes in the beacon. Like her father she can create black holes/portals but she can only turn her body into one unlike her father that can make portals anywhere. After the dark hour, void goes missing, presumably dead by the world but not to Alison. She knows her father is out there somewhere. After being on a tight leash from her aunt (voids sister) who is now the acting director of the beacon shadow unit she runs away looking for answers about her father anywhere she can find them.

Is it crazy for a hero to change powers towards the end of the story?

I’ve been trying to figure out the ending arc of my comic book and I’ve been struggling a bit. A little bit of background on how my power system works for my MC: he is powered by an omnipotent entity trapped within a black hole. This entity can give out pieces of his soul to people to control them. I call them scarred souls. These individuals are immensely powerful but the downside is they are slowly corrupted by the entity, collecting souls so I can escape. My main character struggles with keeping the entity at bay in is mind and with the other scarred souls in my story (the rest of them are already corrupted). Also if one scarred soul defeats another they can steal their powers.

I wanted my main character to collect a few different powers before he fights a really powerful scarred soul and lose it all. He is free from the entity’s mind control but now he is powerless but he meets a monk named silence whose life mission was to take powers from people that saw their abilities as a burden. When my mc loses his powers he passes the torch and gives him all the powers he collected throughout the decades and the MC is back in the fight with all new powers.

Give me a shitty superhero name for an electric based super hero

Jayson is a 22 year old scrappy kid from New York, he gets his powers when he is 9 years old after an omnipotent entity imprisoned within a black hole attacks the beacon (the main super hero group at the time). He is touched by this entity, imbuing him with energy absorption powers that comes out as electricity. His memories are wiped and his powers don’t manifest until he is 22, now he’s on a quest to regain his memories. Other people touched by this entity usually have their minds taken over and begin to collect souls for the entity to become strong enough to escape its prison. Jayson is different, his memory wipe allows him to stay in control of his actions and resist the grasp on the entity. Jayson doesn’t want to be a hero but is forced into the roll. He doesn’t have a costume he puts on rather a costume that was given to him by the beacon that he wears under regular clothes to regulate his powers.

I want the people to name him something kinda stupid like “hey look it’s shock-boy” and him always saying “that’s not my name!” Also let me know what design is the best one
