After I finished Chapter 1, I found I needed to to add a couple of pages. The story didn't work well without them.
I decided to try a 3x3 grid.

Next grid row is done. I added rain to the 3rd panel, and vehicles coming in. (Which I just realized kind of look like sperm attacking an egg!)

Done with this set. The evil bishop looks like he's got a 70s porn star mustache.

I helped solve a plot point that hasn't even become a plot point yet! Three cheers for internet time travel! (See, I DO read other people's comments and your replies!) I can see Ron Jeremy played Evil Security Bishop.

tesIII -I should finish watching Idiocracy then, only seen the first part. I wanted to make the security bishop a caricature, looks like I was successful. thanks for the feedback.

kind of reminds me of idiocracy, in which the u.s. president was a wwf star who wore a giant presidential seal bling around his neck. the insincerity and overcompensation was amusing in that movie as it is on your "security bishop"

Port Bishop? That makes me wonder about the local ecclesiastic structure. Is the port a diocese or is he a titular bishop?

MiHighLow. I know what you mean, I've had to go back and rework pages, because of the discussion of the pages. Or they give me an idea. From one of his comments, Talekyn helped me solve a plot point, way off in the mythical chapter 25 or so.

Yes, it is a bitch realizing you may have missed introducing an important piece of info, or that there could have been an earlier cue in a dialogue about something, or some kind of reply or situation that develops characters... Well, storytelling is fluid, as the story grows in length, it grows in scope, so I find it natural to go back and rework stuff in the light of new ideas that came to me after I develop the story further. So, in a nutshell, try to avoid this, but if it adds to the story and your satisfaction with it - hey, it's the internet! No holds barred (except Hitler comparisons. That shit is off limits).

Second tier looks good!

Next row is about done. Expect an update on Monday.

@Talekyn, to be honest, it didn't occur to me at first. I've got a lot to learn about storytelling. Luckily with the web, I can backfill and rework as needed.

@ Azerisii - Thanks. Hope you enjoy the extra pages. The internet says, so it may be true that "Michael Moore conducted an experiment once, having a weird-looking guy arrive in a quiet street, change his house number to 666, operate chainsaws at night, carry machetes and billhooks around and leave bloodstained bedding for the garbage man. Nobody reported him."

Glad I saw the note that you'd updated. I sort of thought this conversation had just happened off panel. Okay, who am I kidding? It never even occured to me that Ruun should ask Dante what's with the being chased by Proctors while not wearing a breather. I was just that caught up in the story that I accepted it at face value and assumed Ruun did too!

But if he doesn't go into the basement, how will he know what made all those noises? Oo I am liking the retrospective. This is a good add, I'll keep watching for the rest :3

In my head, it was the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". So if the proctors are chasing him, he can't be all bad.
freefall_drift at 11:44AM, Dec. 14, 2009
In keeping with the B grade horror movie genre, Ruun's safe so long as he doesn't go into the basement.

Oh not just a murderer, but an axe murderer. Now that adds some danger.
freefall_drift at 10:45AM, Dec. 14, 2009
It would really change the mood of the story if Captain Dante was an axe murder and THATs why he was on the run from the law.

Now he asks;)
