Author commentary

Veronica: Since the original Confrontation (a grid comic, but replaced even before Volume One was published) was basically half as long as this new version, does this mean we’re technically on page four? Proper panels sure make sequences longer.

It’s interesting how the grid format means A LOT of story can be told, but there’s so many cool things you can do with proper panels! I guess there’s sacrifices all-around, but I don’t regret eventually switching to proper panels. Makes things much cleaner and helps with pacing and helps with making certain scenes feel more important.

Anyway.. uhh.. these guys.

Wow, he has a partner, AND he used a radio to lure them into an alley? WHAT A FREAKING GENIUS. How he learned enough about psychology to figure out that would work is beyond me, and how he thinks two against five is a good idea even if one of them is intoxicated is beyond me, but I still have to congratulate this guy on being one of the most brilliant muggers i have ever seen/heard about in fiction. Or does he just spend WAY too much time obsessing over mugging people for money?
