There's this saying in screenwriting circles: "arrive late and leave early." Too many comic creators and editors need to follow this too. This comic's a good story; it started out as a fast read but then started becoming really repetitive, also w/showing too many stills/shots, partly to make the story look continuous. No one wants to watch a film shot-by-shot--it would take too long! This book's wearing me out now...

I'm enjoying this; my brain's pretty much glued to it at this point.

So far this is a light fast read with simply colored and clearly drawn art.

And at one point, for example, in the space of less than a page and a half, there are FOUR panels only showing people shooting down a hallway!!!
As an artist of whatever kind, you can't be so in love with what you're doing that you don't want to slice it up with a machete when it's necessary lol!
I am going to give this 3 stars or DNF and skim the rest. Even my own books just aren't that interesting to me that I want to repeat the same damn scene three different ways or times inside a single narrative lolll!
W.r.t. the other thing with the two characters, have one panel where you just show that the information has been repeated or is being repeated to someone else....
My energy's too low; I can't deal....
