How I Killed Your Master: Page 025 to ~046 - Page 8

Judging by the (red) crunch sound the target made, probably.

I think I might be glad we can't see beyond the right of that final panel.

Nevertheless, great art as always.

Is it wrong that I assumed that Fei had then turned to hit Wong, after having finished with the others?

Hmm. It would make sense.

I think it only seems like it's long because of the way the comic is updated. He's only been beating them up for around 5 pages. Compared to some other comics that's pretty brief (DBZ for instance :p).

Only 1/6th of the pages have fighting in them, I think for a kung fu comic that's pretty light. And when you go through and read them in succession it doesn't seem that long (to me it seems really short, actually).

Also I may have not drawn it how I meant it, but Fei was supposed to be hitting Jiao in the ulnar-nerve (or the funny bone

) to cause his arm to spasm and drop the sword. I'm not sure if that would really work or not, but it seemed like it would (maybe one's knee would be too large to actually hit that nerve). I also think the sound effect makes it seem like it was being broken, but that wasn't my intention (I don't have a say on the sound effects).

I don't think the problem is necessarily how long the fight is going, so much as that it seems pretty much like a foregone conclusion how it's going to end. There's also the fact that so many of the pages end with what kind of look like should be a fight-ender (the face stomp, the arm thing, the crescent heel to the jaw, and judging by the sound effect, the striking hook)

For all that Wong talks about how efficient Fei is, it almost seems to me like he's intentionally stretching out the fight, either to show off for Wong or because, for some reason or another, he's trying to avoid hurting his opponents too badly.

if anything Mortal Kombat has taught us (aside from how to horrendously botch the pronunciation of Chinese names), it's that you can't use your ultimate finishing move until your opponent(s) are sufficiently damaged.

See, I was just assuming that this is Fei's main outlet for his anger at this point.

Kalbelgarion · 12-05-2009, 09:26 PM

Gee, and I thought Fei was literally beating up the goons for two-and-a-half weeks.

Seems like the kind of thing he would do.

I dunno if you wanna base your pacing off of DBZ.
