Comic: Angel/Fray crossover by yhlee and astridv - page 4/12

[astridv]

Yo. Page four is finally finished. Page five is finished too, as a matter of fact... but I had the moderately brilliant idea to try lettering on a separate sheet. I thought it might save time. (It doesn't.) So, the next page might take until tomorrow, depending on how fast the lettering goes.

In the meantime, here's page four,



...and a teensy preview of page five


I've also reposted the first three, in better quality and with a few details fixed:
page one/two, and disclaimer
page three

Oh, spam away *g*

I haven't read any of these yet; haven't been to the comic shop in weeks. I haven't even magaged to read my 'Tales of the Vampires' that I bought, though my friend keeps telling my it's really good.

I'll make a trip to the Tom's comic shop tomorrow. I hope Tom's remembered to reserve me a copy of the Connor spotlight! These come out almost faster than one can read 'em...

I liked Tales of the Vampires, although some stories were stronger than others--what you'd expect for something with an anthology/frame-story setup.

I'd been looking forward to the Connor one just to see what they'd do with him. It looks like they set it at Stanford, which will also be interesting (I was there for a year getting my master's degree). If they make references to the CoHo (Coffeehouse) I will intone "Cooooohooooo" and snicker again. Stanfordian abbreviations can be very entertaining. ^_^

I just read the Connor issue. Yeah, it's set at Stanford thought we don't get to see too much of the Campus.

I like it, though I have a few issues with it. The Connor likeness is of the vague variety, and the artwork is, hm, not bad really, but not really good either. It's just that in some panels the anatomy looks a bit screwed up. But the plot is pretty good, with the caveat that some lines of dialog sound a litte simplistic. Overall, this book scratches the itch. I'd rec it, regardless of its flaws.

Though I'm really hungering for a comic as brilliant as Fray. Joss' storytelling and Moline's artwork have completely spoiled me.

I'll keep an eye out for it, then.

I too am spoiled by Fray. I mean, yes--one-shots don't have a lot of space, but I have seen powerful storyline compressed into collectible card game text. So it can be done!
