See, this is a great example of what I was talking about back on page #20 – if you’d wanted us to be fooled, to think Protagonist’s reaction was approprate to the situation, you’d have made his screaming the last panel under the zombies. The fact that screaming is instead next to a zombie-less panel, with a mere beat, rather than a heart racing, fingertapping page turner, like between this page and the previous makes for a great, sudden, yet exceptionally smooth, timely “huh?” I don’t know whether to be glad or dissapointed. Then there’s this appropriate confusion. But because it’s not.. because you broke up the screaming and the picture of the zombies, I’m having to try to reconcile whether or not they’re still there when he’s screaming. I know I would anyway, but… oh I don’t know.
I just think the way you’ve paced this is really, really good and really complex and I’m trying to figure out how to tell you exactly why. I’ll keep at it. You keep it up.
