This was a comment from Scott Christian Sava, the author of Dreamland Chronicles, regarding my previous post.

"Ha ha!
I'm glad you enjoyed the page!
At least you understand it's much better to read in book form. I couldn't read this on the web...but somehow people do.
Go figure.

Thanks for checking in though."

Dangit scott! How can I be an angry webcomic critic when you're so nice about being criticised? You're making it hard on me, is all.

An addendum to Tuesday's post:

Yep. Boy, I'm really glad to tune into today's Dreamland Chronicles to witness five, five, panels of a helmet being put on a guy's head. Nope, no way could you have done that in less without sacrificing the action-packed, edge-of-your-seat, can't-wait-to-see-what-happens-next pacing that keeps me coming back for more.

God dammit Dreamland Chronicles, if you're underwater you don't fall, you sink. She'd slowly float down, or better yet, swim away, not plummet to her doom.

Dreamland Chronicles has a few good ideas and a lot of long, drawn out action sequences. He inists on showing you every single little detail in an action sequence, killing the pacing for the webcomic and frustrating readers who can't believe they tune in day after day to only to get updates with an inkling of action/plot progression.

The reason for this is because Dreamland Chronicles is primarily in book form. You can buy them and then flip through these unending action scenes with a turning of a physical page, not the loading of an immaterial browser (and subsequently the wait of days and weeks).
