The serialized, page a day approach is working really well with me. It's been a
blast to see dialogue bring pages that were a silent sneak peek come to life as
a full blown comic book, and seeing new pages is thrilling.

So many of these pages end with a panel that just demands that we turn the page! More comics should be like that.•• Goes back to my days of reading EAGLE, where stories were serialized one or two pages per week, each ending in a cliffhanger.

This rather inspires me to go back and re-read JB's X-MEN run ignoring virtually every thought balloon.

I never got bored of your work before, and I don't see it happening this time, either.

My older brother, as a child, never read the captions in comics. I wonder how much important information he missed that way, though.

There is a famous story of a Golden Age CAPTAIN MARVEL writer getting a haircut, and noticing that a kid waiting his turn was whipping through an issue at super speed. When he asked the kid how he was able to read so fast the kid told him he only read the top two panels on each page.

I remember as a child, I would buy my comics at the newsagent and on the walk home sort of peruse through, looking at whatever caught my eye, maybe reading some dialogue and there. When I got home, I'd read the comic fully and in order, but my initial dipping in would be pretty random and wasn't consumed as part of a narrative whole.

I really liked the description of Nightcrawler's teleportation sound as a "thunder clap" by Storm. And the growing "bamf" sound effect. Quite evocative!

It wasn’t until the captions became inner dialogue that I started really reading all the captions.

The dialogue feels really on-point. Not a single jarring moment so far - not that I was expecting any. Particularly liking hearing Kitty's 'voice' again and remembering a time when people weren't sure if Wolverine could survive a simple lightning strike!

I think I may have mentioned already that this particular machine is a recycling of a model I have used twice before. It turned up in STAR TREK NEW VISIONS as the alien device that turned Harry Mudd into a replica of James Kirk, and then again as the central control room of the Traveler's spaceship. Both times it was remapped for surface details. This time, I took the maps off, added some detail and moved some stuff around.Here's what it looks like in its "naked" form. 
This, of course, allows me to deal with a very old annoyance: machines and vehicles that somehow change shape from panel to panel.
