Release Schedule Comparisons (Goku vs. Vegeta)

Ah ah ! This is going to be painful
I'll remind you all, that myself I never follow any webcomic day to day. I come back after some time to read several pages in one go.
And for people like me, i made a feature remembering where you are in your reading : www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/chapters.html?comic=page

Also as the writer I'm very aware of the slow release. That's why at first, DBM pages were very packed with many panels and actions were very short. Many "ambiance panels" were missing. Since a few years I try to have bigger panels and "give more time" for each action. Cartoonists usually don't have my problem and when they do their own page layout, the number of pages with only one panel grows much ^_^ (and then I negotiate with the cartoonist to change a little the layout so that things actually happen. On this particular chapter, Asura did these pages and I didn't ask him to make it faster, because it's goddamn goku-vegeta and that's worth big pictures IMO)
When I do the page layout, I work strongly on giving at least one "thing" per page: a new information said or shown, a fight situation reversed, or a cool action.

When i was writing Super Dragon Bros Z, i was always trying to have at least  2 "jokes" per page (that's not in the first pages, it's after).

Also, all my childhood was spent reading French-Belgian comics books. Not american comic books, not mangas. Pages in there are way bigger. In these comics, most authors are still following an old rule : the suspense at the end of the page. When they were released in magazines one or two pages at the time, the goal was that the end of a page would always make the reader want for more and buy the next issue. Like at the end of a TV episode or a manga chapter.
(90% of the time, this should not apply in European comic book because almost nothing is in magazines now, all is published in hardcover directly. But this is hardcoded in the french industry. All my teachers or comic enthusiasts have been telling me about this rule. All of them) (in a manga, giving a suspense at the end of a 3-5 panels page each time would make no sense. The next page is right after.)
So even if I don't do it on every page, I always try to work my layout in a way that a a joke or a part of an action isn't cut between two pages or isn't broken by the fact the sequel will be read in 3 days.

As a conclusion, DBM is fast-paced AND slow-paced. If you compare it to most Jump mangas, you'll find DBM is going much, much faster.
If you read it one page every 2-3 days... Well yes, it's going to be sloooooooow paced.
(this goku-vegeta fight may be more slow that usual in DBM. It's goku-vegeta, damnit! We take our time)

ok. I'm liking this idea. Ammar, you have my blessing on this premise.

And I appreciate salagir and his input here as well.

"I guess this won't be so quick...

It would be if you used SSJ3!!! Oh? What's that? It's not a thing yet? Okay, my bad.

Lol! That's just shows that Toriyama was just having fun making this arc. He wasn't taking the story seriously anymore. He back to how Dragon ball used to be.

Most of them remember the fight from the anime. I doubt they ever read the manga. Which is why they're comparing the anime fights to this. Plus, the release schedule play a role as we will (slowly) find out how boring or exciting these two fight will go.

  

  

good all around.

I missed a few posts. keep it up

  

Finally! Goku use the Kaioken! Nothing is happening in the second fight still. And the DBM fight finally "kicked off" with Vegeta delivering the first blow.
