I have 3 Brats at home, but that is my fault for the way I raised them…

Ok, I’ll let you off the hook, but only because you guys ROCK!

@Danilo: You are right.

IMO the core of their unique storytelling abillity is their handling of exposition by releasing the necessary information about the story, the backstory and the worldbuilding gradually and always just in time. Whether the story builds on tension, mystery, suspense, drama or action, they always surprise us, and often in a twisted, or even double-twisted way.

Ah, yes, around these parts we call that TV ESP.

Trust you your instincts, crazyman!

1) Yes, I certainly did miss that subtext. BTW, 2 more weeks and Mailing List subscribers will know exactly what ‘s coming. The countdown has begun…

That’s really nice of you to say, Danilo. Thanks!

And, we’re always trying to improve and try new things.

“That Man Is Dead”, eh? Well, just like my favorite TV Tropes (which Will Ruin Your Life), they are almost never Killed Off For Real. Trust me, I’m Dangerously Genre-Savvy.

Well, remember that in SotBS we also kept the suspense/tension after page 8.
The 315 definitely know how to tell a story!

0) I do believe you.

1) You may have missed some subtext. The phrase taking a comic from the world wide sea to terra firme alludes to your upcoming big announcement.

2) Yes, PBD is my favorite. But then, I like acient curses even less than vampires. (Unless I happen to enjoy the story.)

I think both stories are told very well.

Visually, SotBS has an edge, because there were more different things to show.

Pacing, dialog and all the technical stuff (panel layout etc.) are great in both.

The way you start either story is truly excellent: Diving into action immediately, revealing the backstory on the way.

I like the story structure of PBD better, especially the way you use different subplots (POVs), make them interact, and switch context just at the right moment. Also, the story progression through the five parts is perfect. Re-reading the story from the archive feels like watching a really good episode of one of my favorite TV shows.

3) You’re g**d**m right. Dead Slow Ahead on the Custers chadburn is faster than many webcomics’ Flank Speed.

4) Great, new and different pretty much precludes whiny and awkward.

Still no Hot Dog, as clearly stated in your blog:

“If you like to be in the know, and receive emails with cool stuff in them then HOT DOG”.

I guess I’ll write it off as being like another one of those Diamond scams people keep getting Spammed with…
