Mazerunner posted:Out of comic, it's been a couple hundred pages and almost 5 years. So, yeah. To be fair, those numbers aren't entire accurate since it doesn't account for the fact that we spent 2 of those years on a once a week basis. If he never went to twice a week, we would be actually still getting excited for Spender v. Forge to happen.  I'm being completely serious, too. I did a quick bit of math, and we'd be roughly on this page by now. The moral of the story is be happy with what you have; it could always be worse! (Note: I was using averages here, which more than accounts for Zack's more than uncommon update delays.) Edit: I think it would help if Zack did more bite sized chapters, like Chapters 2 and 3. The big chapters are nice and all, but I think they're stalling the story progression quite a bit since each chapter is suppose to be it's own contained thing. We could've easily been on the next chapter by now if Zack had just cut out like, three or four of the things that happened during hitball and just moved them to other stories.

good pacing requires editing and revision. it's always hard to edit and revise your own work, to cut things that may be good - may be really good! - but harm the work as a whole. it's always hard, but it's especially hard for a work that gets serialized as fast as you can make pages. this is the Second Great Webcomic Curse. the first curse is getting one and a half chapters in before vanishing forever; so, again, it could be worse

VerdantSquire posted:Also a bit late to the conversation where this was discussed, but this scene is evidence against the idea of Zarei being Spender's SO, since someone else who is clearly not Lucifer is in Spender's home while Zarei is busy leaving Day at a motel. Isn't the more logical conclusion that Spender lives with his parent(s)?

Student Council poster in panel 3 appears to be based on this thing from Red Dwarf: Or possibly its sister poster "vote fascist for a 3rd glorious decade of total law enforcement" (same appearance, different text) e/ unless those posters are themselves based on a more famous original which I just haven't heard of, which is very possible.

I need someone to spell things out for me every update. I can't tell if Spender didn't notice something was up with Jeff because he's wrapped up in his own problems or he did and he's just letting him go in to see what his plan is.

The former, I think. If I remember correctly Hijacks possession isn't readily apparent even to spectrals.

Am I dumb thinking Agent Day might be Max's old babysitter? He did reply like he already knew her, and was staring on the train. Also, I wonder if Max's dad knows any of the other cast, since he grew up in Mayview.

Countblanc posted:holy poo poo Yeah. It's kind of the fatal flaw for longform webcomics. I think a lot of aspiring artists would benefit from trying to make the equivalent of a two-hour movie rather than a twenty volume manga. It would tighten up the pacing and they'd actually have a decent shot of finishing their story. (Paranatural can stay just the way it is though.)

Tightly paced, tightly plotted, and finished in a reasonable amount of time. (Helps that it was beautiful and well written!)

Hahahah good update I just realize Johnny is screaming NO SUPERVISON. Gotta lvoe how Ed doesn't question his muse when he asks for push ups. Not surprised that Johnny is second guessing about digging any further. I have a feeling he's probably gonna ask Max by himself later.

I love this comic but Zack has this incredibly annoying tendency to end a page when you really want to know what's going to happen next and then announce he's going to skip the next update.
