Title suggestion for comic book.
I'm currently writing and drawing characters for a small entry that resembles the Sonic franchise, but it's not based on its canon (i.e. no Chaos Emeralds, no Robotnik, no Sonic and friends etc.) Instead it only uses the anthropomorphs as the main population and inspiration for the characters' design. However, since most people will probably trace it back to Sonic, I was thinking of relating the book to him by name, and call it "The Hedgehog Chronicles". I want to avoid copywright infringement, but assume my inspiration. Any suggestions?

Oooh fun, good luck with your story! You have a few options, it mostly depends on whether you're looking to sell the story in the future. If the story stays free like fanfiction you can write about Sonic and those characters to your hearts content! If you're planning on selling it, don't reference Sonic. I'm guessing you're just going to put it online though, so you can just add a small description that it's a Sonic AU with original characters. I don't know if "The Hedgehog Chronicles" works if there is no hedgehog. The title should reflect your storyline, genre or character(s). Is it about a war, an adventure, saving the world, a personal journey? It will be hard for anyone who doesn't know the plot to name the story.

Looking back, using "hedgehog" in the title would only serve as a marketing stunt, but since I'll post the comic online, using a small description should do it, like you said. Thanks for the input. Here's one character, by the way:

You need something to refer to hedgehogs without saying it, and what is a hedgehog, its spiky. Ok, lets go for 'the Good the bad and the ugly' idea. Here you are.... The Cute, the Furry and the Spiky |

Noooo don't call it Furry Comics! I think there is some sort of porn thing about furrys, like animal people or something? I don't know what it is exactly but you might get the wrong kind of readers with that title.
I was hoping you might give a little insight on the style of your story so I could help think up of a title. It is comical, an adventure, lots of battles/action? Are they searching for something? Are they racing each other? |
