Madman Atomic Comics 9
I thought this was a pretty cool concept. Issue 9 of Madman Atomic Comics was essentially one huge panel broken up into a full comic (I guess that's about 20 pages). It's Madman and friends fighting some weird monsters in a city. With the city buildings in the back it became very clear that each page was a continuation of one larger panel.
On Newsarama they revealed the image in it's entirety without word balloons. I wish they could have made a flash version of it that revealed the word balloons in sequence where you could click on one word balloon and the next would appear. But I'm sure that'd take to much time and effort to do.
I've been collecting Madman since it's latest incarnation debuted at Image. I've always liked the characters and love Mike Allred's art. Not too sure where Allred is taking the story but every issue is an ambitious beauty. I'm happy to go along for the ride! This nifty concept is another example of Allred trying to push the limitations of comics to it's extremes.
