So the thing about comics is there is no single standard style or format. Every writer does it differently. The important thing is to make sure you are conveying the info clearly not just to your artist but to your letterer and colorist. Here's some examples from my Godzilla script!
How do you actually write a comic? Like, are you suggesting ideas via stage directions for the pencils? How is a script formatted? PAGE 6 7 PANELS PANEL 1 Time and location skip! Piper is now in Singapore! She's dressed very differently, wearing far more practical clothing. Jeans, at thick jacket, bandana and. goggles, heavy boots, and a very well-packed backpack. Ihink modern Lara_Croft vibes. otably, a small homemade radio with a speaker attached to her shoulder is visible. Sort oflike a oolice radio. Hert hair iS longer, braided down over one shoulder. She's on a dirty, dinged-up moped bike, looking down at her phone as people around her run through the city streets in panic 1. CAPTION - LOCATION 1 year later. Singapore 2. RADIO - SMALL Anguirus confirmed heading towards the Stadium. Keep those evac routes open. 3. PIPER C'mon...just load you stupid. 4. RUNNING PERSON RUN! KEEP GOING! 5. RUNNING PERSON 2 KELUAR DARI SINI! PANEL 2 Close-up of Piper's phone in her hand. She's uploading a post io her website! Style the text below however youd like, the vibe I am going is for something like a Substack or Patreon format. 6. WEBSITE TEXT Supportr SINGAPORE UPDATE - Godzilla and Anguirus CONFIRMED!!! Uploading post...7% PANEL She tears off on her moped, weaving in between cars and fleeing pedestrians as she heads right towards the chaos. 7. SFX blip 9. PIPER Finally. 10. SFX VRMMMMM PANEL 4 Over Piper's shoulder as she speeds toward a line of wrecked cars and rubble, completely impassable. A fire escape is visible just off the road, ladder too high to reach from the ground... but not leaping from a speeding moped. 11.PIPER Oh hell. PANEL 5 Piperjumps offthe speeding moped, just barely calching the ladder. 12. PIPER Agh! PANEL 6 She dangles off the ladder, smug and pumped in equal measure. She KNOWS how cool that was and is basking in it. 13. PIPER Holy %##%! PANEL 7 Same panel, but now she's wincing at the off-screen crash of her moped into the barricade. It's absolutely totaled. 14.SFX KRRASHH 15. PIPER Aw. PAGE7-6 PANELS PANEL 1 Piper's head peeks over the edge of the roof, having climbed up the ladder, She's ECSTATIC, all energy and pure excitement. Massive grin, eyes wide. Like a kid on Christmas morning. 1. PIPER - SMALL Oh my god. PANEL 2 Big panel Biggest on the page, Godzilla fights with ANGUIRUS among a group of crushed buildingS. Anguirus roars at Godzilla, hunched down with its rear legs and tail raised high in a defensive posture. Godzilla, facing away from Piper's vantage point, thrashes its tail. 2. SFX GAAAAAAAOOOOOO PANEL 3 Anguirus latches onto Godzilla's shoulder with its fangs, having leapt up from its crouch. Godzilla roars at the sudden pain. Oft-panel, Piper begins taking mental notes 3. SFX SHUNK 4. SFX ROAARGH 5. CAPTION- PIPER Anguirus and Godzilla don't fight often. Maybe a territorial dispute? Or maybe something disrupted their feeding PANEL- 9 Godzilla pulls Anguirus off its shoulder, holding the smaller monster at arm's distance and roaring in its face. 6. SFX SKREEEOOONK

I have to be honest: it is really really bothering me how people are blaming Arab and Muslim Americans for not endorsing the genocide of their friends and family with their votes and not considering how it is we have a system where defeating fascism requires supporting genocide.

Save this one for the history books. It's beyond parody.

Watching the original Wild Wild West show for the first time today! Besides all the racism, I really dig the pace compared to a lot of it's western contemporaries. And it just looks good! So glad The Omni-Wheel ordained it's viewing it might be my favorite classic TV western so far!

We keep saying this but I still don't get what actually stops this admin from doing nearly anything. I don't see the GOP standing up to Trump and at bare minimum we will still see major cuts.

News Analysis: Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency will face a daunting reality. Any effort to slash the U.S. government and its 2.3 million civilian workers will likely face resistance in Congress, lawsuits from activist groups and delays mandated by federal rules.
Musk’s Slashing of the Federal Budget Faces Big Hurdles
The so-called Department of Government Efficiency, with Elon Musk as co-leader, has advantages that past budget-cutters did not, but laws and court challenges can still make change slow and difficult.

His point about how the *price* of comics may be very directly connected to the dominance of affluent white men in the fandom, and the attendant privilege and sense of entitlement, is a very interesting one and worth considering relative to the toxicity of other expensive hobbies: CCGs, videogames..
