Have you ever re-read your comic?

[punkarsenic]

oh, yeah. while i was working on twaw i'd reread it every few chapters when i got started writing, to get a feel for the flow of the story, and id always reread the previous chapter before getting started on a day of writing or drafting.

but NOW ITS FINISHED ive reread it several times - first while putting together the omnibus, then while making an abridged version. its funny, now its finished i feel very differently about older pages; i can appreciate them for what they are. some of the early stuff is actually fabulous. a lot of it isnt, but i can appreciate what i was trying to do, and it doesnt disgust me like it used to.

though there are some chapters in the middle i still think are ridiculously long and can only skim.

I've reread it because I enjoy the story or want to double check when I mentioned something.

I'm weird on the first part I guess.

I reread my first comic, Nova & Max and well, yeah I rushed to the entire story and didn't really listen to what my fiancee was saying about slowing it down until it was near the end. That's why I decided to not rush the second comic. Take my time, writing it. Which by the way, still haven't drawn anything at all. I need to stop procrastinating .

I occasionally find time to trawl through my old work and see how it's doing! I also like to re-read the beginnings of my comic to see if I've already foreshadowed/introduced a plot point yet, as I am forgetful and often don't realize I'm repeating myself. Or on the contrast, bringing up something out of the blue!

My first season is a little rocky. It tried to be a 3 panel, long form comic, and the format evolved rapidly and experimentally, not always in the best directions. There are good pages in season one though, but the my favorite stuff starts in season 2 and forward. It helps I have a co-author, but I really find the writing (with exceptions of course) has landed right about where I wanted.

I like my comic's writing style. Still hasn't found a wide audience but hey, at least I like it

A few times actually. I'm amazed how it shows I made a lot of progress since I started. xD

[Iris-Grimoire]

I'm waiting to have more pages to really sit down and re-read it, it's all too fresh in my mind currently. But I did re-read my basic story event notes just yesterday, start to finish, ironing out any old notes that I forgot to update!

The little mistakes make me wince, but I try to remind myself that it's best finished than perfect and never done. And it's way more enjoyable to ride the wave of joy when I'm reading events that I REALLY want to happen and I'm just as excited for them as I was when I first wrote them.

Oh yeah, I always reread my comics. I even read the first comics I made years ago. I like to think about my naive past self. XD

[insomniascrawl]

I have! I read it when I got a little down because I thought maybe I'm not growing at the rate I want because my story isn't good, but honestly? I re-read it and I loved my story- found a lot of typos -cough- but I was happy to find that I genuinely enjoy my story and found myself excited to share what's all going to happen next.

I've gone back and changed things, but I love my story tbh. The art is a little scary in chapter one, but hey people stuck with me through that, so I can forgive myself for it.

ALL THE TIME. A lot of times to refresh my energies and/or get myself back into the mindset of working on my comic- especially if I've been away from it for a while.

I did it recently, I do this on occasion because I miss comments because tapastic will not notify me of all the comments that have been left on my pages.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Sure there were things that I could have done better or fixed, mostly in concerns to word balloons, but aside from that it was really enjoyable and I'm pretty happy with it, and I was pretty proud that I was able to draw all of this (even if some panels look 'off' because I was having trouble drawing a certain angle or expression)

[byelacey]

yes all the time, sometimes I get worried I'm going to contradict myself despite having it all planned out already but other times, I do it to see how far I've come!

[YangKoete]

I have! There's nothing wrong with seeing how you grew over the years.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I have a large buffer so I re read it often and edit (dialogue, not art) as needed. I do also reread old already published chapters, just to make sure I stay consistent.

[teasidesketches]

I'm pretty shameless and I reread my own comic more often than I probably should because I like looking at it and seeing how much I've accomplished so far. It also helps motivate me to keep working on pages when I get to the end and remind myself that I want to see more.

[Tanako]

I do the same the same thing too. Just to be consistent and know what direction the comic is going. However, if I do try to read it all over from the beginning I often give up mid way...️

[LunarSushiCat]

I reread it constantly,since English is hard. So there tends to be mistakes as well it also gets affected by any and all changes made to the story world.
It can change on a fly,for smallest of reasons like the text size is not big enough or the colour of the uniforms don't look unique enough.

[irene_addler]

what I have posted of mine isn't a whole lot, but I do reread it fairly often, and I cringe and hope everyone sees it more kindly than I do lol

[Tanako]

@irene_addler LOL I feel your pain. hahahah! same here.

[Carossmo]

I do this all the time actually ahahah the flow of the story it a bit off at first now but it progressed better in the later episodes ^^;
