Ah the wonders of trying to become a cartoonist (AKA I'm writing a comic this summer!)

Hola everyone.

It's been quite a while since my last entry to LJ, sometimes I wonder why I still have one.

Of course it's 'cause I need to write out my thoughts a times. That was an unworthy question....

Anyways, guys (whoever actually bothers to read this.) I've decided to write a short comic. Well, I aim to be a graphic novelist and animator, so I've got to start somewhere.

And so after around... two hours of brainstorming, I've come up with a plot for my (hopefully)soon-to-be comic. Or at least an idea of what may be good for it. And then maybe you all can help me improve the idea :D (once again, who ever actually bothers reading this.)
So far the idea I actually have is:

Rory (names may change) wakes up in 'Heaven' with no recollection of who he was or how he died. Even his name - only knowing himself as 'Rory' because it's what the Angel who takes care of him calls him.

Although thoroughly confused and frustrated about his amnesia, Rory stays in Heaven - Angel tells him that what he's going through is perfectly normal, everyone goes through it - He will no know "Who" he is until "He" decides so (Capital-H-he referring to God of course.)

After what maybe weeks though, a young man calling himself "Abel"(again, names may change) appears before him and asks "Are you sure this is what you want?", causeing Rory to think that his Heaven is not really what it seems.

And that is just about what i have so far, as you can guess (probably), Rory takes Abel's call and decides to 'escape' Heaven.

I only have the above three characters so far.

Rory (Protagonist):
-Supposedly 19
-around 5'6''
-brown hair and brown eyes
-confused, frustrated, and hesitent
-he's quite trusting

Abel(Protagonist):
-Looks like he's in his early 20s
-a tad taller then Rory
-Long blonde hair, grey eyes
-He's a mystery~ oooh

Angel(Antagonist - you saw this, don't lie)
-age? Who knows. He's an Angel.
-VERY TALL
-Very pale
-very... kind(?)

and well that's just  about it...

I'm working on the initial character sketches and finalizing plot an dialogue and all. I need to figure out how i want to draw this story.

I'm thinking that there will be around 5-7 chapters and each chapter will have around 10-15 pages.

Tell me what you think about this please :) this is my first attempt at a comic and any critique/ideas/comments would be really appreciated!!
Oh, and I could use help brainstorming titles, thanks C:
