Get A Move On, Gigi!

Keep moving, as the song goes, or you’ll get left behind.

Talking is over, and with it the moment-to-moment panels at the beginning of the comic. Time is speeding up, and the panel transitions show our subject in different actions of the same sequence. Comics manipulate time by revealing only significant moments within the story, which can heighten the tension. This can happen under any setting…

… whether it takes place in central London with Dick Grayson (as Batman) racing to save the UK capital from a dirty bomb (with a cool Cameron Stewart layout)…
… or Gigi sneaking around the Port of Los Angeles to find her missing friend (courtesy of Henry Simon)!
Action sequences can be as big as 2010’s Batman And Robin #7 or as intimate as the upcoming Pretty Vacant: Made In China. What’s important is that the scenes lead to a first-class payoff!

Summer is right around the corner. It’s time to showcase what you have, and there are conventions to be had!
