On occasion we liked to play with weird formats in Invincible. For issue 80, Robert wanted to do the 16 panel grid format for the entire issue. That basically means you make 16 panels on each page, and some get combined into larger panels but it always follows that grid.
The sketchy layout is where it all starts, I’m trying to make a page with size variations in each panel with the characters, and a good back and forth between the panels so it flows nice, I’m focusing on acting, I want the dialogue to fit these guys! Then the finished pencil stage is structuring it further and adding the final line that the inks will perfect for print!
This is the scene where William comes out to Mark. Really fun scene!
