Describe Like a Comic Book

Don’t just set a scene and say what’s there—describe the first panel of the page, what the picture shows. Tell us how the panel shifts, what people say or do. Periodically throughout play, cut in with descriptions not just of the action, but of how it looks as a comic book. One panel might show the punch, the next shows your enemy ﬂying through the air, the next shows the impact—call out each one. Think about what would look good on the page, what you’d like to see in the comic version of your story. Exciting visuals! Cool angles! Interesting framing! Not static images, not simply talking heads.
