#1713: Take Charge Alec

This Comic's Cast:

Comics like this highlight whether I should include more fights in the comic or less. Obviously I try to punctuate the comic once in a while with a bit of action, but it's hard to include too many of them since action sequences (especially big ones) tend to slow the comic down. Pacing is hard to do when you have to do a long action set piece, so I normally try to do big fights sparingly and when they're needed and then cut away to smaller battles when it feels like I need to give the characters a challenge.

Of course, the Castlevania series is an action series, so whether the balance I strike is in line with the true nature of the game series is arguable.
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
