Too much side tracking not enough pushing forward

[zjmilroy]

To me the comic is moving to slow, we have had 9 comics in the same night, and have gotten no where. So far the party had not laied hands on any godanium, and has yet to do anything ground breaking. We have spent 14 comics in the whole Krysta was kidnapped and Kros was mindcontolled story. And now that we have entered battle with undefeatable villans, we will be spending at least another couple of weeks on this story line. Not to question Issacs ability as a writer, but are we ever going to move on to the real story at hand, the recovery of the Godanium, or are we just going to continue with side plots and never get to the fun stuff that happens with Godanium? Also, as a side note to Bley, Remember when I told you that finding Kros with no shirt on in the morning would look kind of suspisous to the party, at some point you might want to have them question Kros about that, If you remember the campaign there were always attempts to find out what Kros and Krysta were up to, and Kros always had to be on gaurd. This is no different.

I can't understand everyone's obsession with this rock!
Patience, it'll fall into place. Life is a series of sidequests. Enjoy the ride.

As for Kros's shirt... the bad guys took it!

the rock was the main focus of the campaign. That is what the obsession is with the rock.

PVP takes a while to resolve their plots too. Well, in strip terms. Since Kurtz updates daily it resolves faster.

Imagine this, if you will, Zach...

Put the night strips together and pretend we updated daily. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't seem all that long.

It's the fact that I update once a week that makes it seem like not a whole lot has been covered.

Try reading from the beginning... Remember "The Reliquary" series? Yeah... more than nine... and it didn't seem that tedious, did it? At least no one complained about the monotony of it all.


GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS! D:

umm pretty sure I didnt read the comic for like 6 weeks cause I was bored out of my mind. As for pvp I read it like once every 3 months and then I might not back track. So as I was saying personally I hate stale tactics in comics. I know all the other readers dont mind and dont care that there is no godanium in the comic, or godanium effects, or actual plot events from the campaign. They all want to see more of the same.

[Mr. Bob]

You just burned like...


...all of our readers.

BUUUURRRRN!



On a serious note, I'm sorry we can't please everyone. :/

I also think you're shallowing the depth a little. Some people like to see continuity and not just a one-shot deal.

The comic used to be strips where the plot was resolved weekly and had nothing to do with one another between each week. This is why I brought Isaac on, because people wanted to see story.

The story's progressing. We're just getting through some pretty action sequences at the moment. Think of it like the lobby scene from The Matrix. It wasn't explicitly necessary to the plot, but it wouldn't be the same if they removed it. It's something people remember about the movie.

I'm not saying people are going to remember Reliquary for this particular series of action panels, but it doesn't mean it can't look good.


I'm not up for debating anymore. Let's just put aside our differences and read (or watch) some comics.

So... if you already knew what everyone thought, why did you start a poll?
