Concept: Lyc.

I have this idea for a comic and I can't get it out of my head, so I thought I'd share. It's called Lyc. and it's about werewolves.
I wrote this opening sequence for an essay in school where two men are on a rooftop. One has a gun, the other doesn't. The guy who doesn't is standing on the edge of the roof and is narrating the story, usure of how all this happened. He gets shot, falls off the builing, lands on a taxi and dies... It was at this point that my brother butted in and said that that sounds a lot like Collateral, that Tom Cruise movie. This pissed me off to no end. The original story I wrote didn't have anything supernatural in it. The guy gets shot, falls, and dies. Then the story switches back to that morning, when the guy wakes up and has no idea he's going to have the best day of his life, then die... One of those stories.
So I went back to the drawing board with it and thought, screw it, what if he doesn't die? What would prevent him from dying though? Hmm... He must be a werewolf! I think like that sometimes.
Being very proud of my highly original idea, I decided to try write a story for it. And I did! So far I think I have enough material for one standard trade paperback comic thingy, about 12 pages or so. Drawing said comic pages is proving difficult though as I'm hopeless at drawing realistic stuff.. I may also split it into 4 sets of 3 or 3 sets of 4 if I manage to make it.
I'm all psyched about it anyways :) Lyc. is turning into the most feasable comic idea I've had in a long time :) Oh and Lyc. is short for Lycanthrope, as in werewolf :P
