Q: How many reaction shots can you get onto one page of a comic book?
A: Too many.
Good gosh, it's like watching a Spielberg movie--convince the audience of how awesome your next shot is going to be by showing the audience lots (and lots) of shots of people gazing in shock/awe at something. And then do it again.
Do you think that maybe--just maybe--the readers got the idea after the first 3 or 4 panels? Well, too bad, because we're going to keep on going until we run out of page.
Really, James Robinson and Renato Guedes--if you're having problems coming up with enough stuff to fill up your page count, drop me a line. I've got a million ideas. And none of them involve a full page of over 30 people just standing around and gawking at something off screen.
P.S. It would help the effect if you actually had them looking in the same direction.
