Ideas for future comics

I've always wanted to make a strip following a team of time-traveling assassins. They'd use period-specific weapons to off the perpetrators of future crimes against humanity (pokemon, spice girls, reality television, sprite comics, etc) sparing the future from the fruits of those evils.

The problem is it would involve scientific theory of timetravel that exceedes my present knowledge and willingness to research it, I'm not nearly cynical enough, I'm way too sensitive to handle the flood of hatemail every time I purge human history of someone's favorite show/actor/movie/singer/whatever, and it has probably already been done.

I have a co-op comic in the works with some other Danish artists. Nothing much has happened the last months due to holidays, but it will be about superheroes in Denmark, getting their powers from Norse pantheology and fighting the evils of said.

Also, I so want to do a mecha comic, perhaps based on the dream I had this night, with a battlesuit-equipped vigilante team having their base in a large transformable mecha.

But how am I ever going to do those, when I can't update my current comic due to Artist's Block of Uglyness +2 - once more?

I hate it! I feel empty, pointless, dead.

I have a whole host of ideas for other comics that I've wanted to do at various points in time. The one I came closest to doing was Iron Rat.
A sci-fi comic set centuries in the future. Humanity discovered how to travel faster than light, then a century and a half later, it forgot. The faction that created the warp drives were wiped out by a rival faction who felt that a monopoly on the creation of ftl drives made them too powerful.
In the comic present, ftl ships are an increasingly rare commodity. Every year more ships go missing. To the farflung colonies of mankind, the ships are their lifeline without their trade the colonies would most likely fail. But at the same time, if they could obtain a ship of their own, their future as a colony would be more secure.
Enter the Iron Rat. An old Earth Alliance battleship. Old, slow, and falling apart. The crew make their living by trade. It's a way of life, but the next port of call could be the one where someone finally breaches their defences and captures their ship.

(ship depicted is not the Rat)

I have tons of ideas. Will I actually draw them? Probably not.

At one point, I wanted to do a series of comics about losers and the downtrodden of society. There's some sort of person/group/thing giving them a hard time, and in the end there's some sort of ironic revenge. I had a few written, but I was in a really bad mood. I figure a project that encourages a sour outlook on life wouldn't be good for my overall mental well being!

I'm thinking of doing a manga-inspired comic of cute barnyard animals who fight evil with giant mecha. All the characters are named after battleships, and there will also be some mystical elements. I will call it K

I'm gonna do a comic about a bully who has to keep giving dorks wedgies, or else he'll magically turn into a dork. I call it "A Wedgie A Day"

That is so uninspired.

I get comic ideas all the time but I like my current comic too much to do something else. Also I want to practice and improve my art more before I do any serious-themed projects because it's hard to be serious when your characters look like ugly deformed mutants.

I KNOW!!

I'LL DO AN X-MEN FANCOMIC!!!

OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!

I kinda have an idea for a superhero comic, but who doesn't? Another simpler think I'd like to try is something like http://www.infinitecat.com/ but with people and comic characters from here.

Uninspired, huh? Uninspired? You don't understand - it's high art! It's, uh...a representation of the protagonists angst er, uhh...and metaphysical uh...

Ha, take this! *gives J a wedgie*
