Chapter 10 Prolog -2: CELEBRITY DEATHMATCH

Alyss, I feel a bit like CR of Familiar Face with Aylss. This character is actually pretty new to Earthsong having only been recently introduced and then plunged head long into a fight scene almost immediately. So what was it about Aylss that made me pick her instead of one of the good guys who have had ages to be developed? Well Alyss has probably the best short form introduction I've ever seen in a comic. It is less then ten pages long but damn if it didn't make an impression on me! Alyss was a storm of character raging gracefully into the comic like a berserker ballerina. Everything from dialog, panel set, pacing of the pages was perfect, I'm not going to link it though because to really get the full effect I think you need to read the comic up to one point but Aylss really goes to show good writers can make you care right away and character can come across without having to give us walls of pages explaining their back story. If Anikan Skywalker had been able to deliver the line “YOUR FAULT” with the incredible impact and menace that Aylss had the prequel trillogy would have kicked some serious ass. Aylss welcome to the party and thanks for showing us how to get it started right!
