I Never Feel There's Anything I Can't Do.

My Feeling Is That It's One Of The Very Few Things That Comics Can Do That You Really Can't Do In Any Other Medium. I Feel Like The Reader Accepts All Of These Styles, And After A Certain Point You Can Flip The Pages And See A Character Rendered Very Differently Than You Saw On An Earlier Page, And It's Not Jarring. It Suggests Things That You Can't Suggest Just In The Writing Or In The Plotting.
