SWORD FIGHT!
The beginning of the first big action scene in the comic. Incase anyone was wondering that “KAPOW!” is definitely homage to the great 1960’s Batman, starring the late Adam West. I had been wrestling with what sound effect to write for Duglas’s blow to Enzo, going through about three of four different options. None of them seemed to fit right. So in the end I just decided to go with a pop culture reference, whether someone gets it or not.
I really do love this page. The layout ended up being very strong and dynamic, and I’m super happy with how the first panel turned out. This page really gets the action of the comic off on the right foot. It only gets bigger and better from here though folks!
So what do you think? Disagree with any of my thoughts on this page? Agree with any of them? Leave a comment below and let me know!!
Well, he is a serial killer who can fight, o_o this is bad…
“Kapow” is a classic!
Thank you Cookier, I like the “Kapow” as well! Definitely something I plan to sprinkle in every now and then, a 60s Batman fight reference word
I love the dialogue between the characters; it’s definitely entertaining and sounds very natural. xD
Thank you! It’s the part of Stop Watchers I pay the closest attention to, even going so far as to read their lines out loud the way I think they’d say them. If it sounds off or unnatural then I rewrite it until I think it’s perfect.
