Marvel – Avengers

This is a comic about the Avengers from Marvel and such.

There are multiple types of speeh bubbles that depend on each of the character’s costumes and what they appear as. They are fighting in what seems like a high tech facility, where Captain Amerca has a paper and is giving it to Hank, which could mean that it’s crucial information that Hank needs to fill them on.

There are many hidden camera angles in this chaotic looking page, which consists of the following.

• Close up of Korg
• Midshots of Hercules, and Iron Man and co.
• Long shots of vision, falon and co.
• There’s also an extreme long shot kind of effect on the wasp who’s atop Korg’s head, which further conveys the hero’s miniaturised figure.
• Overall, it has a low camera angle, projecting power on all the charaters.

Their costume and colour choices define either their superpower or their name.

There are many speech bubbles in this page, which each represent the character’s voice origin, whether it’s through a screen. The curved split between what seems like a portal into the inside of the technologically advanced establishment isn’t a split between two settings. It is instead a separated section which creates a setting within a setting. The rectangular speech bubble belonging to Vision implies that he may originate from an alienic race of cyborgs.

The comic is brightly coloured to show exitement within the action that’s been shown.
