Asila wakes up to the sound of her alarm clock buzzing. She stretches and gets up from her bed, excited for the day ahead. She quickly freshens up and makes her way to her studio. Asila is the leader of an intergalactic artist group specialising in futuristic comics. She’s been leading this group for several years, and it’s been a wild ride. But she loves it and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Today, she has a meeting with the rest of the group to discuss their latest project. They’re creating a new experience comic book that takes the reader on a hero’s journey through space while they read it. The reader will be able to experience everything as if it’s happening to them in real life. How does that work? While reading the comic book, the reader imagines everything in their mind, and that’s how it becomes real for them. They feel, see and hear everything as they imagine it. This way, the experience is somehow guided by Asila but is unique for each reader. Asila has already created a comic where readers can experience a love story. It is called “The Intergalactic Love Affair.” The story begins with the reader as a space explorer travelling through the galaxy. While on a mission, the reader’s spaceship malfunctions and crashes onto a strange planet. The reader is stranded and alone until they meet a beautiful alien named Lira. Lira helps the reader repair their spaceship, and they both spend time getting to know each other. The reader and Lira explore the planet together, and as they spend more time together, they fall in love. However, their love is not without challenges. Dangers are lurking on the planet, and they must work together to survive. As the reader progresses through each issue of the comic, they experience new challenges and adventures with Lira. They must face hostile aliens, navigate treacherous terrain, and fight to protect each other. But no matter what, their love never wavers. Like with already existing comic books, a new issue is released every week. Asila’s comics have become incredibly popular, and many people eagerly await each new release. Asila takes great pride in her work and is dedicated to creating immersive and exciting experiences for her readers. That’s why she wants to take it now to the next level, together with her artist group. The meeting starts, and everyone shares their ideas for the comic. Asila listens intently and takes notes. They discuss everything from the storyline to the graphics and sound effects for the readers to experience when they read the comic. It will be called “The Intergalactic Adventures.” In this comic, the reader will be a space adventurer, travelling the galaxy to fight evil and protect the innocent. They have a variety of weapons and gadgets at their disposal, and they must use their skills and wits to overcome the challenges they face. Each issue of the comic presents the reader with a new challenge to overcome. They may have to stop a rogue robot from destroying a planet or save a group of space travellers from an asteroid field. The reader must use quick thinking and fighting skills to save the day. She spends the rest of the day on sketches for the new comic. She’s always had a passion for drawing and loves that she gets to do it for a living.
