>>140945281I don't mind long form, chill stories and I've read too much Early 2000AD to think you can't tell a great story in a tightly paced set of pages.
And I think that's what killing me this thread. The pacing's fucked. It feels like I'm reading a bunch of incomplete shorts. Penders is unbearable but even Boller's work is suffering.
These stories aren't breathing, given their proper gravitas, they're jumping and dodging past possibly memorable moments and engaging i
in pretty, but ultimately vapid spectacle because they're devoid of context. I feel like a fucking Zoomer scrolling down TikTok, poorly playing a videogame and doing C- work on an Algebra paper. Is it any wonder Karl got off the Ride? Can we really blame people for leaving it all to Ken?
If reading it was this unfilling, I can't imagine creating it was much of a party.
