Hello everyone! I'm quite new here (Only been around since the middle of 2017), and I'd really like to know if you guys could help me measure my comic's pacing! Are things happening too fast? Should i have more time to let things settle? I'd love to hear from you.

Also, don't hesitate to promote your own work here, It's nice to have some contact with the community after some months of lurking

Hi Tailed!
I think your pacing is alright.You don`t need too many pages for the beginning if you can establish who the characters are and what they do or want in a single page or two. We already know what we need to know about the not so bright protagonist and his abusive boss. (¿who pays in "experience" if you can just go and grind somewhere else?). I really liked your kind of humor.

I'm also making a comedy. It is a parody of the classic story about a hero fated to save the world, but with a twist: the main character is an inanimate rock.

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to give feedback!
Your comic setup really tickled my funny bone, so I will definitely read it!

I really like your comic, the humor is really charming! I think you're spending a little too long on the trip to the tower though, or at least like... there are too many panels where time is just passing and nothing's happening but idle chit chat. It's not a deal breaker or anything, but moving forward I think being more efficient would be good. I just kinda want to get to the delivery place and see what's in store for them? The way it was set up didn't make me expect a long journey. :o I'm going to sub ya and follow it though, I like it!

My comic's quite a bit different, it's scifi fantasy and the tone is generally more serious!

If there's one thing I like, it's comedy, and your humor hits well!
The pacing does seem a tad rushed. It seems to be the most problematic when your moving from one scene to the next. To be honest I have this problem a lot too, my comic The Misadventures of Rowen and Company Has a lot of "getting from point A to point B", This I remedy with traveling montages (which you can do a ton of things with).

hey i just checked out your comic out, it reminds me a bit of Jeff Smith's comic series "Bone" , by that i mean its very well paced and very witty and funny, i love the universe you've made for these characters , and the characters seem well developed after reading all your pages you have up till now. i cant wait to see more from your series

here is my comic even though I've only posted 2 episodes

Your pacing is fine. You've managed to immediately hook in the reader with its subverted premise and the light humour - keep going, because I want to read more.

Also, I finished this one-shot recently, so no need to wait for updates

I see no problem with your pacing. The comic's nice, you clearly have potential.
I'm very curious as to what your work could look like if you improve your draftsmanship Gonna keep an eye on you.

Also, here's me comic:

Don't see anything wrong here! It's a refreshing change from everything else. I like it! (And you got 1 sub from me!)
Pacing...it's fine. Mine's also kinda wonky, so...I don't think you should be asking me.
But yeah! Here's my novel.

Hope you enjoy it!

I got a laugh from your first page, with its Lord of the Rings spoof! I typically favor pages that don't go too long, and yours all seem to be just right. I like the humor, too (I read newspaper funnies all the time, and am partial toward comedy). I plan to read more of your comic!

And here's mine:

I would say the pacing is alright though its mostly from my taste when it comes to comics, its nice as it feels a bit lengthy to me especially at the start
I dunno if action is your cup of tea but you can check out my comic if you wanna n maybe critic it a bit for me, I would love to hear your thoughts on it
