LadyDarke #4 We now do a quick cut back to Shadow Shot. He’s dazed and confused from the sudden door strike from Wulf earlier in the story. This page is all military ops style dialogue – he’s a mercenary, and his clients are well versed in his line of work. His status updates here are…
LadyDarke #4 This page is all about momentum. The pace quickens, with action across each panel. I like how Samir structured this, with the bottom 3 panels making for quick cuts. We’re in a frenzied chase scene as our heroes try to plow through the opposition and make their way to their goal. You’ll notice…
LadyDarke #4 Here we go. Page 8 marks a turning point and sets the tone for the remainder of the issue. As the issue title “Night Raid” implies, we’re raidin’ and it’s dark. I really tried to loosen my scripting and plotting this issue, thinking in bigger sweeps and bigger action. This allows for larger…
LadyDarke #4 The tables (or in this case, the doors) have turned. ShadowShot is knocked off his assassin’s perch by DarkWulf’s sudden and unexpected moves. This shifts the momentum for both LadyDarke + Wulf and for ShadowShot. Both parties were attempting to approach their respective situations with stealth, agility, and concealment. Now all bets are…
LadyDarke #4 Three big panels on this page as the action starts to escalate. Last page introduced the lurking ShadowShot, and here we pivot the POV through his scope. The assassin ShadowShot is used to having the advantage against most his adversaries, but not so fast this time! DarkeWulf’s supernatural instincts key him into something…
Enter: ShadowShot! The mercenary bounty hunter introduced in LadyDarke #3 enters the fray in a big way this issue. I love what Samir has done with the trees and shadows in these opening pages. Also props to letterer Micah Myers for deftly handling the different layers of dialogue, radio chatter, and sound effects needed here….
After a long creative slumber, I’m waking up! I’ve reworked things around here, rolling out some site changes, updating the shop, and embarking on a daily blog series. Let’s dive in. New Digital Comics New digital comics are finally available! LadyDarke #1, #2, and #3 are now available for e-purchase, as well as my complete…
Here’s pages 2-3 of LadyDarke #4. I love following the pattern of full-page splash (see page 1 here) and then double-page splash. Kirby. TMNT. It’s just so…comics. A way to grab a reader and throw them into another world, totally unique to the comic book medium.
The unreleased “lost” issue #4 of LADYDARKE, releasing serially here page-by-page over the next few weeks. Without further ado, here’s page 1! Page 1 LadyDarke #4
What happens when the future gets old? What happens when the hot newness of the bleeding age gathers rust and accumulates the barnacles of time? A friend of mine passed away last year. Someone I’d known for over 25 years. Despite many years without seeing each other in person, we had a regular online cadence….
March in New England is a good time to steep in regret and think about all the mistakes you’ve made in your life. Namely, how did I end up here in the hills of Worcester County, watching multiple feet of snow fall over everything, while my friends and colleagues in warmer climates are tending to…
