    That is an awesomely brilliant page! Excellent job illustrating the chaotic mess that’s going on there. I love the POV, too.

    Ok, it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. You didn’t do a giant blood splattered panel of horsey brains. I won’t have to call PETFA after all.

    evaD makes a great point about the perspective. The coach-cam effect at Shan’s eye level gives a real feeling of it barreling down on him.

    How to make my morning great: Brilliant sketch and an amazing page. Many thanks Dave!

  4. Soth

    Not as good as horse punching, but I’ll accept it.

  5. Steeven

    OK, the kid in me just jumped out and said: “That was freaking SWEEEEEET!”

  6. Filthy McMonkey

    Between this comic and LOST, Tuesdays may just be my favourite of all the days.

    Jeeezus. You can hear the wreckage just consume the space around him. Well done!

  8. Dadzarro

    You control the vertical; YOU control the horizontal!

    Loving it!

    Got my sketch last week, and it is, indeed, FREKKING SWEER!

  9. James Andrew Clark

    Sweer, indeed.

  10. Robert Kidd

    This is a great page. The lines and concept of motion are just amazing.

  11. Mike

    Now THAT is storytelling!

    Thanks, guys! I wasn’t sure how to depict this scene at first, in fact it was written differently in the script, but then this idea came and I went with it. No horsey brains required.

    Simon: Glad you like the sketch!

    Dadzarro: Glad to hear your sketch arrived safely, sorry it took me so long to get it out.

    note: must ask Dadzarro what “frekking sweer” means exactly when i see him again!

    It looks like someone is going to wake up with a big head ache.

  15. Andy Jewett

    It’s a good thing I love you, otherwise I would consider injuring you… These pages are just sick, man. You should be proud of what you guys are doing for sure.

  16. Dean

    Wow! That dude is hard core!

  17. AlpineBob

    Catching a stagecoach, the hard way…

    But “Hard core”? I think not!
    He’s crouched in the same position as a kid who expects to be pounded by a bully, and I should know – I’ve been in that position.

    Actually, my first thought was, “Focus your Chi, young one, and imagine going THROUGH the target.”
    Anyway, watching him makes me laugh. I’m not sure why… 😀
