Terror man: a deep dive to it’s visual and narrative
Hii after brainstorming ideas of what I could talk about… I have decided to talk about my favorite manhwa Terror man (테러맨)
Honestly I was going to write a simple opinion about it but I felt an little guilty that wouldn’t do any effort to express my opinion about my favorite manhwa, so I decided to do my best to talk every small detail about it (not really hahah)
Terror man is about a boy that has a superpower that can predict misfortune about 10-15 minutes before it happens, and he disguises himself as a terrorist to use his abilities to secretly save people from disasters
Extra note: Terror man is the 5th work of Superstring, produced by YLAB, author Han Dong-woo, artist Ko Jin-ho and some unnamed background artists
I started reading Terror man mid-way 2020
I actually loved every tinniest bit of it, I absolutely love how the way it sometimes goes from the dynamic action scenes to the complicated details of the characters appearances and surroundings.
And what I liked the most, I love how the fact the artist uses vivid colors to create a sense of intensity and drama of the situation, the artist always uses bright colors like red, orange or yellow when there’s a moment of action or danger, it could also show the intense emotions of the characters sometimes
(The last picture is from Terror vs Revival, I just remembered that.)
Small extra note: it seems like the artist loves the color blue haha
I think the aspects of the narrative made it interesting too, sometimes it uses flashbacks and nonlinear storytelling (I’m 99% sure they used that type of narrative) to progress the story and unpack more lore of the story in a interesting way!! honestly, I don’t know what to say but the fact that the narrative is actually pretty well-crafted that I got stuck with this manhwa even to today lol
I think I ran out of what to say more so I’m just gonna show you guys some of my favorite panels of Terror man
