IDW unveils two new Sonic the Hedgehog one-shot issues, 900th Adventure and Endless Summer
Take a look at these new Sonic the Hedgehog one-shot issues from IDW Publishing, scheduled for a summer release.
900th Adventure
This issue, tentatively scheduled for 16 August, will feature various writers and illustrators as the blue blur goes on his "900th world-saving adventure!"
Sonic and his friends are playing a game of hot potato! Only the potato is the Warp Topaz and it could warp the whole world into oblivion. The gang is passing off the Warp Topaz in a relay race to get rid of it once and for all.

Endless Summer
"Wave goodbye to the office and say hello to the beach," read the official solicitation. This issue is scheduled for a 30 August tentative release.
Sonic drags Jewel on a well-deserved beach day to spend time with her besties, Tangle and Whisper! But when they all settle in for some rest and relaxation…they realize the Babylon Rogues had the same idea… at the same beach. The only way to settle this is with a totally tubular beach showdown!

I went to the Scholastic Graphix Party!
Hi all, I know I’ve been posting pretty spottily this year, and it’s not out of a desire to fade away. It’s been a heck of a year, and life and work have been conspiring against me when it comes to having the time I want to devote to Mom Read It. That said, I am NOT going anywhere. I’m still here, still reading, and honestly, the life changes are largely good. Just wanted to let you know that…

Middle School Monday: Freestyle by Gale Galligan
Cory and his friends have spent years working on their dance routines, but never winning any competitions. Cory is trying to balance his dance practices with his classes, but when his grades get too low, his parents ground him so that he’ll focus on his academics. They hire a girl named Sunna to tutor him, but Cory isn’t happy about it because Sunna is quiet and kind of weird. But little by little Cory gets to know Sunna, and when he discovers her secret talent with yo-yo tricks, he starts paying more attention to her both as a tutor and as a person.
On one level, this is is a story about dancing, yo-yo tricks, and competitions. But it’s also a story about the tug-of-war that takes place in your heart when you try to balance your family’s expectations vs. the things that YOU enjoy, as well as the tension between your old friends and your new friends.
Give this book to older kids and younger teens who enjoy graphic novels that feature diverse characters, friendships, dance, school, and the challenges of growing up.

Viajo porque preciso, volto porque te amo.
Assisti ao filme, li o livro e ouvi uma playlist de trilha sonora no Spotify, tudo porque gostei da história.
Eu te entendo, José Renato, de verdade, eu te entendo.
Não nos perdemos porque queremos, nos perdemos porque precisamos.
E se não nos encontrarmos, está tudo bem, faz parte do enredo.
Ele disse o que sentia.
falando que tudo iria mudar, mas será que era só falar, e se não fizesse o que disse? Mentirosos? Talvez.
Quando reparou na cena, o livro já não combinava mais com a pipoca,
o destino desapareceu, a trilha sonora apareceu,
a noite suportou enquanto o dia caminhava.
Disse tanto: “Oh galega, amor da minha vida, eu te amo”,
e ouviu: “também”,
não que machucasse, só impedia a cicatrização.
Por fim, a vida é uma só para quem acredita, porque ao longo do caminho, José Renato sabe que ele pode se encontrar e reviver a vida.
Não que isso signifique algo para Joana.”
– Calma, Théo.

Hello!! When you start a comic, how do you go about deciding your panelling layouts?? If this is too big of an ask for covid brain, how about your favorite song of the moment / a song that really inspires you?? I hope you feel better soon!
I was searching around for an old write up I did for some Original Character Tournament folks who were interested in my thoughts on panels and layouts. To try and answer your question, I go off of vibe now that I’ve made a LOT of comics. However, as much as it doesn’t seem like it at times, I do typically stay as “conventional” as possible to make sure my readers are still following the plot. I make a lot of adjustments along the way. Smarter layouts allow me to draw less, and drawing less is better for me in the long run! It’ll allow me to put more time in other places of the comic.
Anyway, here’s my write up back in the day that’ll hopefully answer some comic drafting questions!
More conventional paneling is a necessary stepping stone because you know your reader won’t get lost and the structure will have you more focused on flow and pacing. It seems remarkably easy to do comics with more “static” or traditional panel layouts but they work for a reason. There’s no real need to break out of something that works, unless you want to! Breaking out of the structure can really add some OOMPH to your important pages.
Some tips, note that these have been my preferences and some definitions don’t quite match their descriptors.
Bleed
I consider open panels or panels that stretch out beyond the edge of the page to be considered bleeds. They’re simple ways to make you feel like your not just sticking within your margins and making your page feel less static without much extra effort. Manga does this quite often, and Western American comics, especially during action packed moments or large splashes.
Some examples of things bleeds can do:
- They can also be used as transitions between pages (first panel bleeding in, last panel bleeding out).
- They can be used to interrupt or add a beat to a moment. Although the example below is mostly bleeds, you can see the one full panel at the bottom stands out because it’s not like the others. A subtle beat.
- They can also just be used to extend a panel to make it bigger. That seems obvious, but larger panels do make people spend a bit more time on them, regardless if there is text or not. Though, “more time” means probably several milliseconds or even a few seconds more than usual.
- Collaging with a bleed is a really great way to think beyond panels and open the space. You will be spending more time thinking of how much you can cram in along with the flow of how your text is going to lead through a series of images.
- Removing panel borders can really open a space and allow for more room without having to go above and beyond the ideas of comics and panels. (sorry, gale galligan is just good)
Gutters
The space between panels is almost just as important as the panel itself. That’s where readers and inferring actions and time. You can only control so much of what the reader is doing between their eye shifting between panels, which is why composition within panels and clarity are so important.
Gutters can also be played with! A simple example is changing your gutters from white to all black. It can be a subtle shift in time, a transition to a new space.
Even the amount of space between panels leaves an idea of time! I think webtoons/manhwa really work well with the gutter space, leaving you to physically scroll and feel the effects of time passing with the amount of empty space you encounter.
It’s important to understand that the gutter has a lot more to do with reader imagination, and your goal is to have them understand that the next panel is somehow plausible.
THIS SCENE EMFIELDS DID IS VERY FUCKING GOOD. TIME, SPACE, GO OOOOOOFFFF KING
Panels themselves can be a part story!
This one is a difficult thing to write for, since I feel like there isn’t many examples out there. There are very structural examples of panels out there, like Watchman. While the 9 panel grid was intentional, it also was likely the only way to deal with Alan Moore’s script effectively without missing details. The panels themselves don’t ENHANCE the story, but a means to an end.
But it’s also an incredibly good example of how conventional comics paneling can still be effective, especially when you start breaking that mold just a little bit.
But then you have comics like M. Dean’s “Baby fat”. Where the comic paneling itself never strays from its original structure, but is indicative of the story itself, representing tiles, mirrors, patterns.
Or Robert Hunter’s “The New Ghost” which he uses circular motifs and has circular panels representing the telescopes sight line.
Predicting Reader Navigation
These are my rules of thumb when doing general sight reading panel by panel.
1. Text is what people gravitate to first. It’s the context needed to approach the next panel.
2. Faces are next, this provides context to what the subject is feeling.
3. Familiar people/animals/objects and SFX.
4. Everything else!
This is an example of sight reading notes I gave to my friend Holocene when we were collaborating.
