The Omnibus

What Makes A Good Action Comic?


Listen Later

In this episode, Phillip and Eric shift gears to break down the elements of how to do action in comics, with examples from Dragon Ball Z, Jack Kirby, Nextwave, David Aja, We3, and more! They discuss the qualities of clarity, kinetic energy, and emotional excitement with examples of doing it through the pure illustrative skill of movement and body posing, widescreen panel layouts, and cool, unconventional layouts to show dynamism. Plus Eric gives a rant on Ip Man 4: The Finale and its clumsy anti-racism message.
