How do you approach fight scenes

[Muffin]

Having a schedule of 2 pages per week I try and keep things moving at a reasonable pace. However, I've come to a point where there needs to be a fight scene that takes a fews pages.

Do you think uploading the whole fight in like a week is better than sticking to my schedule? I realise that fight scenes can be made interesting if you know how but in a webcomic that uploads 2 pages week it could be boring for like 5-8 pages with no dialogue.

How do you guys deal with fight scenes in your comics? Do you upload the whole fight to keep people from getting bored of waiting or do you stick to your schedule?

Personally, I would stick to the schedule. I'm not saying that's the best thing to do (I don't know), but it's what I would do. Just try to do some very strong visual storytelling.

i think you can keep up the tension of the fight using page-turn reveal techniques. end the two pages of one episode with some kind of building tension such as the MC not knowing, but the reader knowing, theyre abt to get hit - or the MC staring terrified at smth we cant see, or dialogue revealing another character entering the scene, but the character is unseen. it leaves something for the reader to be excited about that stops the action feeling slow.

my comic has a ton of fight scenes so i stick my schedule. cuz elsewise i would just end up dumping a lot of pages at once and it might be too much for people. and also i agree with punkarsenic with the page-turns. i think its fun when the page ends on a cliffhanger and ya gotta wait to see when happens the next update
