Comments on: A Proper Death Drop

Love the comic, as ever, but if this goes to print, I wonder if you could find a way to make the act of teleporting a bit more visually recognizable for the viewer? It’s pretty confusing at first glance, and while the comments by the peanut gallery (soon to be victims) make it clear that she’s attempting to teleport, it wasn’t until I read commentary outside the comment that she was actually trying to death-drop on them. It’s not hard to confuse the middle panel as being purely stylistic choice. I otherwise thought she was just trying to break through the floor, or teleport away. I’m not sure if some kind of energy below her on panel three would be a good way to go about it, but I think a good suggestion might be to extend the ‘party background’ from panel for up into panel three. This would make it one continuous splash, making it more obvious she’s above them physically and not just in comic sequencing, and thus a bit easier to follow even if you don’t give visible presence of any kind of portal energy. At least, that’s my thoughts on it. I don’t just advise a grain of salt with my comments, I offer a grinder of fresh sea salt for the purpose. :3 I’m not sure if that’s helpful or if I’m just annoying, but thought I’d add give my opinion. @_@;

Bravo! Can’t wait ’til Crazy Old Arael teleports those two through the bottom floor of this elevated dance club. 😈

Jason’s description makes it pretty clear that Daisy teleports as though passing through portals, rather than blinking about. Does this mean her leash will pull Saw along for the ride?

it didn’t work this time does stick out as humor.. but what happened before stating that it was Veled who is trying to hinder daisies mobility does seem like it was serious. after all she has tried that before.

I sort of hoped that ‘XD’ would be recognized as laughing with eyes shut – ie, the preceding thought was intended for humor…

@The_Rippy_One: What joke? …no, really, what joke? I just went through all your posts on this page, and I’m not seeing one. Everything you typed appears to be intended seriously. Hence our confusion.

@the_rippy_one and here I thought it was Murphy that setup where she couldn’t take her leg with her

@The_Rippy_One: Well it is most likely to be Murphy at this point instead of Veled.

But I have a feeling it has less to do about the use of the teleport and more to do with the moments in between each teleport. Seeing as openings to hit a telepoter come in the moments after and before a teleport, you’d want as much time to set up that shot at that moment and lesson the targets mobility if possible.

Setting up Ace and Daisy like this is equivalent to having Daisy being a target in a shooting booth in most cases. Of course Ace shooting Daisy’s daughter throw all that out the window and now instead of using her powers to run out of danger like one would expect, she’s instead going straight for the jugular now.

@Jolt: Nik has it right. Which is why V is trying it with the chair – even less mobility and movement options!

Didn’t work this time either! XD

Actually, V might have been thinking that the events leading to Daisy getting her new leg (ie, Hopping blind and embedding her flesh one in a wall) would make her more cautious to Hop again (ie “slow her down” meaning more hesitant to use the ability)…this clearly is also not the case….but that ruins the joke in this case 😉
