"space does for comics what time does for film" from understanding comics + "…you've got 4 elements of the novel… time space character and event… on succession, time unfolds so slowly which means you dont get a lot of consequence of action, you just cant because of the way that time moves, but you do get a lot of play before something happens. … characters have time for something. … [in succession] they have all the time in the world to backstab each other, they have all the time in the world to fuck up their own plans and the people closest to them … but they have very little time to come together" (~12:00) + "writers who come to comics from prose often say its really constricting... trying to do a cliffhanger every 20 pages, or trying to put in action every 20 pages" (~15:25)
