Ch4 Pg6 HIRES

You can read the page on the main site here: http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/

So I posed a question there that I will here as well - I couldn't decide whether or not this page needed dialogue, and to err on the side of caution, I just left it out entirely. I dunno, though. What do you guys think?

I've seriously got to finish this month's wallpaper for you guys. This is getting ridiculous!

No words are needed

I like the lack of dialog, as it underscores the "Oh crap monsters incoming AAAAAHHH!" nature of the page.

I think the reader can get that this is serious stuff happening here, doesn't really need explanation. Curious as to see how they emerge from, however they do though, going to be very chaotic :D

There's some blank black areas there, where I think "dialogue" would fit nicely. However, I actually didn't notice the lack of dialogue, so I don't think it loses too much without it.

If you're worried about adding words, you could always add the suggestion of dialog (a bundle of fuzzed, semi-opaque dialog) to the first panel like it's a constant din of the type one would encounter at the mall or a convention, and a general background word/feeling/sound in the second panel (toward the top and that single hand). More the suggestion of words than outright dialog, yaknow? Strictly speaking, they don't need either, but were dead-set on adding it those could be a couple of things to try. Your use of sounds usually adds a pretty sweet impact to the scene, so I'd go with your gut on this one.

Wow, tough call. It can go either way. On the one hand, the dialogue might make the image too busy. On the other hand, it could be considered inconsistent with previous images where these guys are raising a stink over someone getting out while the rest are still stuck at the bottom.

I think dialogue would mess with the emotional impact here. It looks great! Definitely love the aesthetics and build up.
