The Dreadful - Page 4

Not nearly as dreadful as five, if I may be so bold.

Indubitably! Five pages a week would be a dreadful amount of stress on my part, old bean! *doffs stovepipe hat*

I have to side with Krylo there. Our protagonist doesn't seem to be dreadful in the least, but actually seems to be more like a lovable rogue. My hope is that you will change my mind about this by having her go into some kind of demonic rage, grow claws, and begin tearing people apart with her bare hands. EDIT: I've been watching too much Elfen Lied.

The slavish dedication it would take to produce such an amount of comics would truly be dreadful to behold.

Little much exposition, not enough dialogue. Makes it feel a bit weird when the... whatever he is (sheriff?)... doesn't even get in a "but..." or something of that nature.

That said, it's certainly not the worst case I've ever seen, it gets the stuff we need to know out of the way quickly, and I get the feeling you want to jump between scenes quickly to avoid the audience getting stuck on the details, which I can respect. As usual thus far for the comic, your art is coming along nicely.

Although, with her mouth just slightly open I keep thinking she's singing this to him.

Okay, well, no "Dreadful Week" . The buffer isn't all that important now, but it will be eventually. And when it does it will be a good idea to have as big of a one as possible.

I mean, look at HIKYM and Warbot. HIKYM's been dead for awhile and Warbot's been dead for even longer (and may be permanently dead. I doubt it though and hope it isn't, but I haven't heard anything regarding it in awhile. Don't take my word for it one way or the other). I'd like to avoid The Dreadful having periods of being dead. So I think it's wise to avoid missing updates as much as we can with it. Draining the buffer for a special week doesn't seem very wise, even if it sounds like a cool idea at the moment

Sorry if I got your hopes up

I HATE YOU SPERONI, AND EVERYTHING YOU STAND FOR!

But seriously, while slightly disappointing, I'm totally cool with that.

grate so far i like the art style

Pip Boy · 03-01-2011, 07:00 PM

I kind of agree that I'd rather see fewer updates that keep routinely to their schedule than a bunch of updates and then none at all forever. Being able to just know when a new comic was out 99.9% of the time is something we haven't really had since 8-bit theater.

I shared this picture on my Twitter page and figured I'd share it here too.

This is Kit and Liz from a couple of panels later on (page 15). I won't spoil too much by putting the panels in context, so this'll just have to do for now
