One last input: Rep Hazard
🕑 Added 2025-10-27 00:33:21 +0000 UTCOne last thing I'm interested in getting some input on before uploading more comics is the actual title of the series. Up until now it's been Rep Hazard, but I've been thinking of changing it recently.
Once I started doing more world building and writing things out I found that I wasn't 100% satisfied with the Rep Hazard title. It's fine overall, but for me it didn't really flow as well as I wanted it to and possibly wasn't going to fit with the mood/themes/attitude I want to aim for going forward. I figured if I am going to consider changing it then I should do it sooner rather than later.
The Rep Hazard title was originally chosen because I was more focused on Kim and planned on her constantly worrying about her reputation in the school. The whole series was going to focus solely on her and her bizarre math for figuring out social standing. I still plan on Kim doing that, but upon developing some of the other characters and building up the world around her, the title felt a little limited.
I like the idea of this series being a more slice of life style that regularly involves classic Hollywood bullying tactics and scenarios. I started searching for titles a little over a month ago and am sort of getting attached to Far From Cool. It feels a little more broad and might pair better with the series I have in mind. Another runner up was Dorkface, but that felt a little too forward (maybe for another series I'm thinking of...).
I'm curious about your thoughts on it. Do you prefer Rep Hazard? Is there an issue with Far From Cool? Do you have any suggestions you'd want me to consider? Like I've said in earlier posts, I probably don't really need to ask, but it feels nice to get some input on it. You all have been very supportive of me over the years and I like hearing what you have to say =)

Far From Cool or Rep Hazard are both good names imo. Dorkface i think would work better for a comic series that was more serialized and focused on following just one character.
