Alright! So I just finished a second pass on my comic. Actually it's a 2nd and a half pass. I got a bunch of great notes from some friends so I made a quick change to this draft. I showed my first draft to a bunch of people and got some great notes. The biggest note came from Mandrews and it was simple. TRIM THE FAT! He told me to cut back on the panel count. The page count too if I could. He felt like I could condense a LOT of what I had to make it more punchy. It was a great note. So I sat down and really focused on distilling the work. It went from a 21 page 142 panel story to a 20 page 98 panel comic, and I think it's been strengthened a bunch because of it. Is it enough to appease Mr. Andrews?... We'll see. I don't know if I want to trim anymore, but if it makes the piece stronger...
I feel like I'm just about ready to dive in and I'm super pysched!! Luckily the due date has been pushed back until June 2nd. I'm glad because it gives me extra time to put some real love into the pages. Here's a page from the newer draft.
