And apparently, the beginning of Volume 12 doesn't qualify. Death Note tends to break them out when it's time for the serious guns.Then goes beyond that with it's penultimate chapter witch consist entirely of one of these. The Legend of Koizumi takes this to the extreme.Mikanagi Touya's Karneval has these, too.One Piece deserves a mention too, particularly when Oda feels the need for some Scenery Porn.Tite Kubo is awfully fond of splash pages as well.
Simple comic panel to panel series#
Check the beginning of any of their manga chapters - pick a series, any series - and you'll be met with a gorgeous, totally unnecessary spread of art, usually unrelated to the comic's actual content. CLAMP absolutely lives for Splash Pages.If the Splash Panel is also a Silent Scenery Panel, the result it almost invariably Scenery Porn. This can be especially disastrous if there are significant speech balloons or captions in the vivcinity of the crease. Splash panels, especially two-page spreads, do not work very well when collected into trade paperbacks due to the crease that is now in the middle of the page. This ushered in an era of Decompressed Comics with very little plot but great big pictures that ran to the mid-2000s before dying out. Although examples of splash panels can be found in Western comics going all the way back to the 1960s, the technique did not become popular until the late 1990s, when Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch created The Authority, which drew on the Manga mindset to create a "widescreen" comic in which splash panels were used liberally to emphasise the wide-scale action. Splash panels are extremely popular in Japanese comic books (or Manga) and entire issues can consist of characters doing not very much at all on a very large canvas. If the artist needs to focus on something specific in a splash panel, he may overlay smaller panels on top of or around it that enlarge and highlight specfiic sections, or that provide a commentary on the larger picture. In a splash panel, the character can be shown in enough detail for the scale to get into the reader's brain. In a normal panel, this would all just look like a bunch of shrubs with a tiny speck that may or not be the character. For example: A character steps into a totally unexpected underground kingdom - an open area far larger than it should be. They are also useful when a dramatic scene requires a far more impressive sense of scale than an ordinary panel could manage. When used excessively, they can be a contributing factor in Decompressed Comics. The specific purpose of a splash panel is to add dramatic weight to a scene, be it a shocking reveal, a character's entrance, an establishing shot of scenery or a building, a dramatic fight scene or something else entirely. They are an important part of maintaining a comic's rhythm, and will most commonly be seen in the first pages of a comic (usuallly coinciding with the title page) and the last pages of the comic, usually coinciding with the cliffhanger. In comic books, splash panels (also known as splash pages) are massive panels (the bits that contain pictures) that take up most or all of a page, or possibly even two pages. Nextwave: You will buy six copies of this comic. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.

Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.
