Researching Comics: The New 52! Catwoman Volume 1: The Game

This comic uses layout very well in my opinion. In the image to the left, the background behind the panels is splattered with blood to emphasis the violence happening off shot, which I thought was a very clever was of showing violence without actually showing violence.

The panels are also used on angles to show suspense and action, such as this page to the left as Catwoman knows someone off the roof of a building, breaking a romantic moment into a action scene.

The last point I will make that I liked about this comic was the use of sound effects in text. This is used such as how the whip reaches its limit and stretches. To show this, the 'FUUUNG' sound is written bold and sharply as the sound would be heard, and also vertically like the whip and to show how the sound is travelling. These are elements I feel are very important in making a comic easier to believe and add physics to the page.
