I was reading through the attempts at the sample script thread (which has been very interesting lately) and thought it would be a good idea to have a thread devoted to sequential art theory. I spend too many hours trawling the internet looking for pages on panels, establishing shots, cinematic choices, pacing etc. Having one thread where people could share ideas and knowledge on this art form has to be a good thing.

So to get the ball rolling - an interesting page i found on Paneling, Pacing, and Layout in Comics - lots of food for thought here

Hello all, ive just signed up here and wanted to hear your opinions and critiques on a sample ive been working on. Its The Collosal Wealth of Karn Foul Eye. Ive posted it off to Tharg but have a feeling its in a huge pile of other samples so Id love to hear what everyone thinks. The script is available to read in 2000ad submission scripts. Cheers

Borag Thungg,

Recently bought a copy of Judge Dredd megazine after many thrill-less years. I used to be infatuated with 2000 ad, my favourite characters being Slaine and Stront. Having read the Dredd Mag recently I was really impressed, specially by Number cruncher - most original concept ive read in ages and nicely illustrated. Love to hear what you fellow earthlets think I have missed out on in the last 7 or 8 years. What are your stand out characters/ plots?
