So I’m making a webcomic, well two technically but only one plot is really fleshed out.
I was wanting maybe some second opinions on them both? If you can just say what you think about them I’d be happy :)

Plot of story 1:
So melody moves into a new town, which is not abnormal for her as she does it quite often because of her dads job. She sets a goal for herself every time she moves to make friends with all the kids in her class, or at least know their names. After a few days she does that, except with one kid who seems to ignore her and just won’t talk to her. Curious about him and after hearing many rumors, she follows him to his home one day only to find loads of machinery and cool guns and gadgets. She then finds out that his brother who everyone presumed was dead, is actually in charge of a government ran cooperation made to travel through portals to discover other dimensions and was sabotaged and trapped inside of one of the portal dimensions. The two of them (a long with a few other side characters) then work together to get him out and also save the world from a creature that runs the space between the dimensions called “the void” and stop it from completing a deal that could end humanity as they know it.
Of course, this isn’t the full in depth plot, but I think you get the gist!

Plot of story 2: (this is the one that I don’t have very fleshed out yet)
So this takes place far in the future, like 2XXX, the world is almost like a medieval/distopian/cyberpunk type of thing and it’s common for everyone to have magic, except for those who don’t. And by don’t, I mean those who’s magic isn’t ready to be unleashed yet. So the beginning takes place in a very large and expanding city surrounded by a wall. The wall is there to keep out the creatures in the surrounding forest and to block out the pollution which is in form of a black/purple liquid that basically kills anything it touches. The city is ran by people known as “the powers” and as a way to deal with the fast growing population, On the day that you get your powers unleashed, if you’re an inactive (meaning you don’t have your powers), they then take you and ‘deal with you’.
The main character is Ivy, a 17 year old girl who was an inactive but was one of the very few to escape being taken. She’s been hiding for a year and is on the cities most wanted list. One day, she’s captured and put in a van with 7 others (ages 16, 15, 13, 12, 10+10, and 5) who are also inactives and being taken. After, they’re taken outside the city wall and left to basically die, but they don’t want to and decide that they have to get back and change things so that no more people are killed. For a while they’re lost and trying to hide from the creature and stay away from the pollution. But eventually something happens that manages to trigger the powers of one of the kids, making them realize that they All must have powers and that the government was wrong. Eventually they manage to tame a creature, get back to the city, and fight the powers and find end the law that says inactive must be taken.
Again, not the whole thing, just the most important parts!

Any feedback is appreciated!

Okay so… hmm… Technically, if I'm relating this to real life, people can't legally handle firearms without a parent or guardian until they are 21. Plus, it was a government-run operation. Hmm… I don't know what to say about the first plot… Uh… Yeah. I don't know. But I really like the second plot.

The year for the second plot could be 2199, just at the end of the century. Just a suggestion.

Hope you enjoy writing this story! :)

@Celestial-Burst

Thanks for the input! The brother is older than 21 and they’re his guns, not melody’s or the other boy’s. So technically they’re not illegal. Not to mention if you get proper training then you are allowed to handle guns at the age of 12, but that isn’t important lol.

And I’m glad you like the second plot! Again, thanks for the feedback!

I really like the second one (probably more than the first one- sorry!) But i feel like the first one needs a little more to it but maybe it's just me-

Maybe even on the second one you could have one of the kids work for "the powers" and try to keep the rest from reaching their goal, like an inside spy in the group of protagonists for the bad guys
