the "price of comics" can of worms

[Hobgoblin]

Dialog in comics has always been [embarrassing lack of self control]. C'mon, let's get real here. Sure, there have been exceptions, but poor dialog has always plagued comics. Then again, in a way, that's one of the things that make comics comics.

 

Very true. I mean, you can't have a ton of dialogue in a comic book. If there was too much, we'd lose the "art" aspect completely. Maybe that's why Bendis like the one-word-per-panel approach; to showcase Bagley's art.

 

Yeah, thats my one bag on Bendis. Not that I don't think he's a great writer. I think the stories are excellent; he just has a dialogue problem.

 

A writer with a dialogue problem...

 

drice, I can't tell if you're making fun of my post, or if you are saying "what a shock" in a sarcastic tone.

 

Always assume the first unless told otherwise, Hobby

 

Although in this case, both do apply...

 

Well, if the first case is true, then someone should probably explain to you that there is a lot more to writing a comic than just the dialogue. What the characters say is a fraction of the work. I thought that you, of all people, would know that. So I'm shocked that you responded as you did

 

And I'm shocked that a dude that complains all the time that people don't read all of your posts didn't bother to read the second line of mine.

 

It's a bit late for New Years resolutions, but my knew one is to ignore every single word said/posted by Drice.
