David Aja's 9 Panel Grid Approach | Strip Panel Naked

[@VertigoDefinitivo]

Gotta love the 9 Panel grid... that's also the alternative title for this channel.

[@StripPanelNaked]

Haha -- it is genuinely a decision to make sure I'm not just waxing lyrical about why the grid is interesting, so hopefully this a little more specific on Aja's approach to it... - Hass

Strip Panel Naked I really liked this video, don't get me wrong. It actually made me read that comic. Aja is a really cool artist.

[@rodrigoarellano992]

David Aja is a wonderful artist, he always founds a way to play with the medium in different and interesting ways, some times even in his covers. The first issue of “The Seeds” was incredible. Another amazing video, good job

[@StripPanelNaked]

Great first issue! I was down away by it. Very intrigued to see how the rest go... - Hass

[@prometheus200]

These panel layouts are masters classes in directing n storytelling 🤯

[@StripPanelNaked]

Yup! Aja is so good.

[@Despoina_Nyx]

I would love to see you try making videos of not so good comics and say in what way they could made their point clearer to the reader

[@StripPanelNaked]

This usually gets asked, but it's a it more difficult because it's sometimes hard to know what the reason for something not working is, so I try instead if there's something like that I want to talk about, I try to find an example of something similar that has worked and focus on that instead. - Hass

[@Despoina_Nyx]

Strip Panel Naked I understand. Thanks for responding. Your videos help a lot while I'm making my comic.

[@Juma1st]

@@StripPanelNaked that's probably something that a guest artist could do, since each artist has their own way of resolving those issues. I'd be very interested in that as well!

[@chad8767]

this book is SO tight in writing and in art. The different stories we follow blend perfectly together. I was extremely impressed and I think this may be the best issue I have read this year, it's a contender anyway. Thanks for doing an episode on this.

[@StripPanelNaked]

Same. Very intrigued to see how it develops, but it was such a strong first issue. - Hass

[@ArpLaszlo]

Love having these broken down, gives me tons of ideas - thanks!

[@StripPanelNaked]

:)

[@da5idnz]

I think the caption boxes up top and bottom are different voices, or characters - eg, the top one is different from the bottom. It's a visual way to differentiate them.

[@tom-dellaringa-author]

Great commentary as always. Always look forward to your breakdowns.

[@StripPanelNaked]

Thanks Tom :) - Hass

[@zazo3zoz]

Would love to see more horror comics and how it's laid out

[@StripPanelNaked]

I think there'll be one soon on Immortal Hulk and what that does in a specific sequence, so keep an eye out! - Hass

[@martov4330]

Hey Hass, can you do the Promethea issue 20, page 7. and how you can read the two pages clockwise and anti/clockwise and it makes sence both ways?

[@StripPanelNaked]

Yeah! Promethea is sooooo good. I'll make an excuse to re-read it :) - Hass

[@АндрейЧмыхалов-ф8ц]

Love this channel!

[@StripPanelNaked]

Thank you! - Hass

[@LuisGustavoSodre13]

fantastic!

[@StripPanelNaked]

Thanks :)

[@andresreydecastro]

Seriously, dudes, what's with the sucking up to this guy? There is nothing about David Aja's art that attracts me to his books. IT. LOOKS. SO.BORING. Somebody please explain to me how this users manual-style art is appealing.

[@StripPanelNaked]

Haha, I'm a huge fan! I think his storytelling is really, really strong, narratively. And his style works for me as a reduced/minimalist approach in things like Hawkeye, but also in this the tone is incredibly striking. What don't you like about his art? - Hass
