Congrats on the pickup! I felt exactly as you did on the eve of that Felix drop, haha.
Thanks so much! Yeah, sometimes the strategy pays off, but really I feel like it all just comes down to luck no matter what the "strategy" was! 😂
Awesome get! Love the action on this one
Thanks! Agreed, it flows so darn well!
For me, Laserbeak's appearance is what makes the entire page feel like it is balls to the wall, screaming action! The speed at which everything is happening makes me feel just like I do when I'm watching a very dramatic high speed sequence in a film. You're holding your breath without even realizing it and your heart's up in your throat!
It's just laid out perfectly, "camera" angles picked perfectly! I love some smaller details like how Sparky's body is folding over. Great choice of body positioning to convey the force & speed at which he is we tossed! It's one that is just exciting to look at, the intensity is undeniable & impossible to not feel the tension, speed & fear!
Very important for DWJ to ground the bot madness with the human interactions and what danger they impose as the stakes are on a personal and worldwide scale. Signature sytle blending fantastical action and war comics with the energy of manga speedlines and onomatopoeia!
Well said good sir! The balance of bot & human elements & action was definitely high on my wishlist!
Another total kick ass example from this series. Laserbeak is so menacing on this page, I can feel the adrenaline pumping from the characters. The action, the speed, the sound effects! Just sooooo good!
Agreed, the trademark palpable DWJ action is all here. Just gets the blood pumping! Love that pitting Laserbeak against our human heroes allows the scale to loom large when we typically view Laserbeak as small when with other bots!
Awsome page! Loving this book; major congrats on scoring a page!
I realized I never acknowledged your comment! Apologies, I don't like doing that! Thanks for the kind words!
Man the action just screams across the page in panels 3 and 4! DWJ doin' what he do. Congrats!
I was slacking & never replied! I always try to respond! Not that you were holding your breath but still! Thanks so much! I felt like this was one that showcased his talents quite well with some intense & intimate action without blowing up my art budget too much!
Great page, congrats! The action is non-stop!
Addressing some loose ends & responding to old comments! Sorry for the delay! Thanks for the kind words! This one is intense! Love how Laserbeak's head dominates in that panel with Carly in full on horror movie scramble panic pose!
Great DWJ energy!
