How Not To Do An Action Scene #22
Contributed by Spools of Retrogressive Indexing and Filing
Spools says:
If you're going to do a comic, do a comic, don't write a novel.
"Novelization" doesn't work, when I find this in a comic, I stop reading
immediatly. I don't care how good of a writer you are, draw what happens.

I've seen this a couple of times, when artist looses his scanner or drawing tools for any reason, he decides to continue his comic as a novel until the problems are fixed. Results:
1. Inconsistency. Not only in art/text change, but pacing in written part is usually much quicker.
2. If I visit a comic site, that usually means that I expect a comic there. Liking to read internet fiction is not included in this deal, and audiences in those two are pretty different. That's why these things are usually boring to regular readers.
3. Even if it's not the case, this seems like an exercise in lazyness.
