Week 1: First Impressions

Hell on Earth: Impressions
-Very structured/uniform and much like a storyboard in panel layout until action rises and the panels follow suit nicely to build intensity
-Text box skewing where necessary to fit mood
-Fairly easy to follow and linear
-Text doesn't feel bloated or heavy

Nightwings: Impressions
-Unstructured paneling and exciting dynamic camera angles
-Action breaks the boundaries of the panels
-Cramped in areas where imagery and text fight for attention

Frost and Fire: Impressions
-Very loose and sketchy drawing style that still feels contained and professional
-Nice panel compositions with the environments
-Full page drawings are used for mood/setting

Merchants of Venus: Impressions
-First person narrative
-Framing is nothing special, straight to the point
-Images rely on foregrounds
-Yellow vs white text bubbles to differentiate way of speaking

Demon with a Glass Hand: Impressions
-Interesting use of uniform panels followed by lack of panels
-Compositions seem well thought out by the artist and text bubbler(?)
-Scenes get highly detailed

The Magic Goes Away: Impressions
-Good use of color to accentuate mood
-Differing in ways of framing with paneling and shot compositions

Sandkings: Impressions
-Panels are wide and bustling with visual traffic to lay out the setting
-Heavy focus on text 
-Colors feel... 80's maybe? Retro for sure.
