The Dreadful -- Chapter 5 - Page 20

Kit and Art Fight a Monster! Page 1

This was the script I selected out of all the submissions I received. It was pretty funny and had a big ol' monster.

*Laptop update: turns out I just had to take the battery out and put it back in. It seems to be working fine now.

Please announce Page 2 so I can say how much I liked Kit's expression in the last panel!

I figured Brian was traveling to the Con and wouldn't have gotten around to posting it today, so it took me by surprise!

But, anyway, here is Page 2!

On the guest comics generally: For the most part I'm not a great fan of guest comics. I don't like most webcomics... any more than I like most movies, or most books, or most TV shows, or most songs. I find that I don't even like most webcomics that are liked by creators of webcomics I like. (You followed that thought, right?) So I read, for example, Questionable Content, because I like it; but show me ten QC guest strips and odds are I won't particularly like more than one or two of them. If that.

And of course the occasional exception comes along, perhaps even introducing me to a creator and their comic which I didn't know about but which turns out to be one I enjoy a lot.

So anyway: "How I Killed Your Pastor": I enjoyed the homage to HIKYM and the pun. Not a fan of the artwork.

Quack juice: Pretty good script, not a fan of the artwork.

This isn�t my world!: That's probably a good description of my reaction. Good artwork, but I take it the script is all about references to some video game? I play hardly any video games, so the whole thing went right over my head.

Kit and Art Fight a Monster: Excellent artwork! I'm enjoying the story so far.

Well, "Kit and Art Fight a Monster" has a bit of an advantage regarding "authenticity" than the others since I drew it/gave advice about how the script would best be laid out/designed everything.

Carl came up with the characters (except for Kit, obviously) and dialog, but visually speaking it is pretty much in the same vein as any other Dreadful comic. So it might seem like less of a Guest Comic than the others.

EDIT: The third guest comic is reference to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You've certainly heard of Legend of Zelda, right? (you'd think just being anywhere within 10 miles of nerd/gamer culture would make it so you'd HAVE to have heard about it at least once, even if you've ever played/seen one. I've never seen an episode of MLP:FiM but I know what it is, e.g )

Page 3!

Kit pulls a very powerful rifle out of her inventory menu and fires away! (yes, that's a rifle, not a shotgun)

Page 4!

The final page of the Guest Comic! Now, onto Chapter 6!

Panel 3 is such an excellent expression that I am tempted to steal it for my avatar. It's just... perfect.
