Chapter 9 Page 25 - Making a big exit

And that wraps up yet another chapter of Cwen's Quest and the end of what I'd consider the second story arc of CQ. A lot has changed with CQ in the second story arc. Color has sneaked into the comic. Some of the backstory has started to be revealed and we are startling to learn Cwen's World is rather a strange one. I'm mentioned before about the lesson's learned with chapter 6 slowing down the story arc rather then adding to it and I hope to apply some of those lessons in the next story arc. I'm happy to finally have had another proper fight scene in the comic. I personally love action and serious battles but for pacing and humor reasons have kept them rather short so I really enjoy it when we can get to some solid action scenes like the whole Sven vs Cwen fight. I'm a big fan of action and it is one of those things that is very hard to do. To little the story feels uneventful or unsatisfying but too much and eventhing falls appart and becomes dull. I think Order of the Stick is one of the better examples of long fights that keep their momentum and energy going over the long hall. I'd really like to do some long form battles like the invasion story in a comic one day but I'm not sure that will even be CQ despite Cwen's violent tendencies. Seriously I could do a whole issue just called “Cwen Kicks @$#” with her walking into town and depopulating it but I don't think that anyone else would read it.

Anyway as usual we'll be taking a one week vacation between chapters to rest up for the next chapter.

Next up a short while we rebuild the buffer - Gram Trellion: And the horse he road in on!
