What a terrific page to close out the week. It seems the arrival of the alt-mutants is having some cataclysmic repercussions.

JB, the issues of ELSEWHEN are set up in four acts, with a cliffhanger each Friday. It seems somewhat different from an issue of a monthly comic in terms of the pacing and the beats of where plots points occur. How has it been writing a story this way? Has it been an interesting challenge or more of a "okay, I'll just arrange it this way now"?

I’ve noted before that I really don’t pay any attention to what “day” I happen to be drawing. (Too much like work!)

If there are “acts” that seem to break down on a weekly basis, they’re an illusion springing from my career long habit of ending pages on mini-cliffhangers.

............


I completely agree. How was that effect achieved? It looks like either an eraser or white out.

The fourth panel is cool, but that third one... WOAH!

Were you "channeling" Mr. Adams again, JB?

Because you've stated you are not shading using the "Blood & Trenches model", does that means that all shadows in ELSEWHEN are intended to appear as an equal inky-black?

If so, I think that would have huge repercussions on how you shade and draw (e.g. the iris of the eyes as unfilled ovals and the upper-half shadowed as you pointed out yesterday, but also faux-Jean's hair in today's silhouette).

The follow up question is: Do inkers still, in your ideal world, then have license to choose to cross-hatch in stead of fill, adding form into the shadows?
