It's interesting to see how the writer of a book read it out loud. We get to see how words and sentences are put together from the mind who wrote them. I used read many lines from this scene differently, like where Brody said "you're glad he committed suiside?" I thought he would have had more of a shocked tone. It's really cool to see how the writer writes and says it out loud.
Number one reason I want to buy his books so bad... His line delivery just gives the characters a certain edge.
KonbanwaJapan exactly!
I think the awesome thing about comic book is how it lets the reader have an influence on the story. Wether it's pacing or how toning in the voice.
Same here! It makes the experience so much more personal, almost like we're film editors collaborating on the project.
Mark: They didn't.
Me: TURN THE PAGE MAN!
Mark: *goes back to beginning*
Me: NOOOOO
lol!!!

From one Mark to another: First off congrats on the awesome name. Secondly thank you for making this video. I am looking to get into manga design and animation. Coming up with story structure is a difficult thing and I was delighted to see this in my feed. Thanks man!
Love your channel Mark 👍
MARK
That how it all started
Man you reading your material is very enjoyable, too bad we'll never see a full narration. I would actually like to see that.
Me too
Nope

"I'll take a potato chip.... AND EAT IT!"
I want Brody's Ghost to be an animated series more than I want a lot of things o.o
JUST IMAGINE HOW AMAZING BG WOULD BE AS AN ANIMATED SERIES
I'm collecting your books! I have all of the Mastering Manga books so far!--- I also want to cosplay Talia to a con---- and then if people talk to me, I'd be all like "Wait, you can see me?" and I'm even gonna paint my skin blue :D
+Izumi Blair Thank you so much! ^^
:D
I found a copy of body's ghost at my school library today. it's a pretty good read, good job.
I think I am one of those who had said these videos are most useful...and they really are. Actually, examining this scene in such depth was really awesome, because it gives us this deeper insight into your decision making process. Thank you for this!
I wonder what it'd be like to see Brody's Ghost in Animation form. I would totally watch it.
from just this video i want to buy all of that books series
Thank you!
same here
Mission accomplished Mark Crilley. Your video got people to want to buy your comic as opposed to you helping other comic book writers with their craft. Good for you dude. Thats why that comic is shit...
tbh, When I first began watching these videos, I wasn't all that interested in Brody's Ghost. Now it's definitely gonna be a series I'll soon be collecting! And Thank you! Your videos have taught me so much! I can't even put in words to show how much I appreciate what your doing. Hope there will be more coming, and can't wait for your next comic series!
+BiggOHhh Thank you so much :)
Super duper cupcake forever I is confused?
Oh ok lol, I is not confused anymore
+markcrilley I thought Brody´s Ghost was gonna be cheesey as hell but now to think of it its preety damn good
keep doing what your doing!
thanks for this Mark, it really makes me feel like I can do something even better with my work haha. I write and draw, but I've never really combined the two. Whenever I watch one of these videos, I become inspired to do just that, so thanks for the video!
rYUGA!
can I help you?
It's pretty awesome that he is so open with sharing his knowledge. I've been inspired too!
Have you made the comic book yet? It's been 3 years 😂
I love your videos about storytelling in general (in this case visual storytelling), they just make you realize how much thought goes into it
I LOVE this look into the design process and how everything is laid out! I would love to see more of this!!!!!
i like it when you narrate the story! :) it is very enjoyable, please do more if thats possible. :)
I think these types of videos are my favorite and the most useful to me. I love learning the processes of making comics.
Hi Mark, I always used to draw but I never been serious about it until two years ago when I started to watch one of your videos, now I am the best artist in my senior class, so thank you for these videos❤💛💙💚💜👍👍
+Artiss Jupiter Glad I could help! :)
Yes, I find these type of videos very helpful along with your how to draw videos. I like seeing how other artists approach drawing certain things. I observe what is done and try to adapt it to how I approach drawing. I can say for certain I have improved because of the many videos I have watch from you. Thank you so much Mark.
the best teacher on the internet, imo
thank you so much, Mark!
I'm so glad this part of your channel is a thing mark... Thanks man
I'm such a big fan... you are such an inspiration to me. I started watching your videos 3 years ago and I'm pretty sure I watched all of them! ! I can't wait for the next video
I like how you check the comments, it makes it feel like you can connect with your viewers on a little more personal level
+Chicken Fries Thanks, I do what I can :)
Loved this video! Not just for comics, but for any types of storytelling. Thanks Mark for all your help!
+Abigail Wiens Thank you Abigail :)
Mark, ive been watching your videos for years, and I still love them, for some reason you are really special to me.
+Angel cool Thank you Angel; for some reason your comment makes me very happy. ;)
+markcrilley Thank you! im glad your happy
I really love these kind of analysis videos.
It is really cool to hear your enthusiasm for your own story, Crilley-sensei.
Good evening Mark! This video came literally at the perfect time as it has been my new year's resolution to get better at drawing, so I stumbled on your channel with this video. Thank you so much for all your tutorials and guides, you rock!
Thank you so much mark for all these videos! I recently got into drawing manga, and was absolutely hopeless. I would get often get frustrated, so I turned to UA-cam and luckily found your videos! After watching, I just had to buy your How To Draw Books. Now, i have improved IMMENSELY. Thank you for helping everyone out, really.
+Gabriel Flores Thank you Gabriel!!
+markcrilley no problem! Although if I may add a video suggestion, could you please describe how to make hair such as strands and bangs for girls? It would help a lot and I would greatly appreciate it. :)
Mr. Mark, you sir are truly a master comic book story teller...you always inspire me to push further in my attempts to create my own comics ...
I wish you were my Literature teacher. Then we'll be discussing all day on these topics...
It's a good thing I found your videos. These are exactly what I need.
Mark, you inspired me to draw manga at about 6. I really thank you! I'm pretty good right now, but not NEARLY as great as you are!
MORE COMIC VIDEOS! PLEASE! They really, truly help me make better choices for comics and stories. :D
You read that so nicely. The whole thing is inspirational.
That was really great! Thanks, Mark!
+Will Terrell Thank you, Will-- glad you liked it :)
Great timing. I just started a fan comic for Supernatural and was having some issues with panels. Seeing how you set the scene was helpful.
I am so excited to comment I don't very often. Mark has really inspired me to be a Graphic Novelist and helped me with my manga back in my middle school and highschool years. I remember how I discovered Mark I coming across his Miki Falls series (to this day it's my favorite series of all the novels I have read thus far) and followed his videos ever since. Now in college, I decided recently to return to my desire and make some web comics with my hobby of digital art. This video helped me approach flashbacks vs. the actual story. Which is very important to the story I wish to tell. :) I love watching your videos and seeing how much you have improved. Thank you much for helping me. -A Fan
Thank you so much, Sheahan!
Thank you so much! Telling stories and accompanying it with pictures that really convey depth and reality to readers is such a talent and an art. I always wonder how authors are able to piece things together to make the finished product so this really helps. You don't know how much I appreciate people like you who are willing to share their knowledge. Thanks again!
+Mochibear Glad I can help :)
Hi Mark! I love all your stuff. I just want to tell you that I appreciate all your content. Please continue the good work.
+Cate Elizabeth Thank you Cate!
so far, all of your videos have been super helpful. I can see that you really know what you are doing, and I feel like I want to read Brody's Ghost even though genre-wise it would normally not be interesting to me. You know your craft, thanks for sharing it with us!
Yes, Mark. More of these would be appreciated as you find the time.

Omg that scream is perfect!!
I currently am working on creating my own comic series, and your videos have been helping me tremendously. I would love to see more videos of this nature, or even some videos on just storytelling in general.
i love all of ur videos mark crilley they help me with my creativity and i know by watching i will master this concepts so thanks
you're the best, Mark.
Thank you so much
Thank you @markcrilley. There are great Videos! Only recently discovered your channel. Went through the entire How to Make Comics/Manga playlist in a few days and I must say there are some amazing stuff here. Excellent tips and I'm so glad I came across your channel.
I'm a writer myself, and currently working with an artist preparing our own graphic novels//comics and even though our styles and themes are very different, I find that a lot of these rules are universal. It is an inspiration to see your videos and all the tips you give. It feels great when I already do what you say works, and feels even better when I spot and fix a mistake in our story board thanks to all the stuff I learned from your videos.
I'm currently consuming all information I can find on creating and releasing comics, trying to put together the best work we possibly can. First pages are already complete (story and storyboard are fully complete, but we look at the pages we haven't drawn the final version of from time to time as small changes might come up) and we are moving forward. No one is paying us to do this, we are doing it on our own time and hope we will be able to gradually shift into the comic industry and do more and more work into the future, while hopefully making some sort of an income out of it.
My latest concern and worry is something you mentioned in your videos. Our Graphic Novel // Comic sinking like stone because we do not promote it enough. If you happen to read this Mark, any chance you could do a video on ideas of how we can go about promoting our comics? I know this can be a very wide subject and it will be hard to cover, but maybe you can share ideas we might have never considered. We live in Cyprus (small island in the Mediterranean sea) and sadly the comic book scene here is not that large. Our stories are in English and we are hoping to maybe one day share our work with as many people as we can around the world. And so our aim is the internet and online digital comics (perhaps this narrows down the idea for a video. Or, if I may be bold, a small reply here to the comment with a couple of suggestions if anything comes to mind?
Either way, great videos Mark keep up the great work. Definitely interested in Brody's Ghost and will be buying the series. (So we can also study it, take it apart and learn from it)
this is amazing I hope to get my comic published I just finished my script and now looking into artists and publishers to get it out there this is a big inspiration for me thank you!
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you so much Mark. Greetings from Poland!
I'm actually writing a script for a graphic novel I plan to make so this video was quite helpful so thanks a bunch, Mr. Crilley
Really informative and interesting video Mark!
This is awesome, this really helps, because I've started drawing manga and comics in my notebook and I'm thinking about moving them to my sketch book! Thanks so much for these tips!
Your timing couldnt be more perfect. Im trying to make a comic story rn. so thank you!
This morning in our schools library I was looking at our manga section and there was a 'mastering manga' book and it had your name on it and I went I KNOW THEM I RECOGNISE THAT NAME
You are such an amazing and inspirational person! You have helped me tremendously and challenging me to be a better drawer! I love your videos so much! Keep it up!
Hi, Mark! I have gotten your books "Brody's Ghost" book 1 and 2. I love them so much! I recently ordered all the rest and I'm especially excited for book 5 because the cover looks exciting. Thank you so much for making these!
+Elena McCarthy Thank you so much, Elena! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story :)
+Elena McCarthy Its a really awesome series! I have all the books and loved them. I hope you enjoy them ;P
This is very cool and is very helpful. Thank you, Mark!
I find these videos very useful truthfully, because sometimes I do have the idea, I do have some dialogue in mind and I do have the scenes imagined and all but I get stuck on HOW to start the story XD so thanks again!
I love these type of videos! But of course, I love the drawing videos as well 😍
Fantastic timing! I'm thumbnailing a short comic right now :) Thank you so much for your tips and advice!
Your voice acting is stellar.
my new years resolution is to start my comic so this couldnt have come at a better time. actually, the scene you chose makes me really want to read your comic and i found it very helpful to, so thank you!
great job my man great job I never read Brody's Ghost and I'm into it now.
i have learned so much from you mark, thanks!!!!
Thanks for the video Mark, it was very helpful!! Looking forward to creating my own stories! Keep up the Great work Mark! Nick
this video was awesome I appreciate comics lessons from you, continue to do these in addition to your how to draw videos :)
Yes, your videos on storytelling was greately useful for me, thank you a lot
Thanks mark, that really helps!!!!!
I love this book!
Good video, I like these type of videos, its a nice change of pace.
Thank you so much for this video! It was extremely helpful! Keep up the amazing work!
@markcrilley I have been watching your videos for some time now and I enjoy the way you teach and involve little things here and there to make your videos interesting. I found it clever that you showed us a bit of book 3 of Brody's Ghost because it made me buy book one. I was hooked instantly. I read all of them in one sitting. Just wish there was a kindle package that let me buy them all as one, to save some money of course. But no regrets here. Great story and love the bonus pages at the end where you brief us through your drafts and ideas. And thanks for the dedication. Eagerly awaiting for more.
+OGeffects Thank you so much for supporting me!
Thank you for this video Mark it helped me a lot
This video was great!!! Thank-you so much for making it!!
Thanks for the insight on your process, it has been tough for me to wrap my head around how to get a comic scene across. Though now it has become clearer!
Great info and comic thanks for the help I can’t wait to get starting on my series too!
Definitely helps show how scenes transition or just "flow" from one event to another. Thanks man :)
this is awesome keep up the great work
I love the most that kind of videos!
Great tips!
You rock Mark!🎉
Thank you. This was very informative and helpful. I learned a lot from it.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much this one video will help me when it comes to scene composition and storytelling. :'3
This really has inspired me!
Thank you for this video! Really love these, they have taught me a lot! c:
That's some dope art
can you show us how to draw different types of masks??? please
yeah that would be cool
a slipknot mask?
Isn't slipnot a band?
+Invader Zim yes. and they have really nice masks
+Invader Zim They use various masks in their concerts, If I Recall Correctly.
This was very insightful. Thankyou!
Such an amazing artist.. I love your channel, you are a great teacher :)
really enjoyed this video :)
took a break from watching your videos, but got back into them and they're really inspiring :)
+Tobyrobot Thanks for coming back!
I think that the book sounds really good and I am defiantly going to get the series!!! Thanks Mark Crilley!
+Halle Dorris Thank you Halle :)
I know right!!! >.
This is Great! Definitely one I have to show to my brother! Thank you Mark!
Great video!!!
This method applies, also, for storytelling in writing literature as well. The main difference is one is presented visually and the other is dependent upon your imagination. Thank you, Mark, for this lesson in particular. I found it extremely intriguing how much of it matched writing literature.
+SAN VAL (GKOALA7) Thank you!
honestly, these writing tips are the only videos of yours I watch anymore. :)
I used to watch every single video, but I have improved so much since (partially because of them), that I feel your repetitive grid method of teaching is no longer helping me.
Please don't take this the wrong way :) you have helped me so much with drawing and coloring. Now I'm interested in your thoughts on storytelling! (I still watch Q&As and special, more advanced videos as well) thanks man!
I love the Brody's Ghost books!
+PhantomDrawing Thank you :)
WOOW you are such a good artist
Just ordered the book!
+Gaming Doh-Nuts Thank you!!
Perfect timing! I really wanted to make my own comic
Thanks. Reminded me that every scene has a goal.
I just finished reading both 1 and 2 of Brody's Ghost and I've fallen in love with the series. I wish I found the books earlier, I looked everywhere, and when I found it I, being my weird self, screamed. I just got your Miku Falls book and I am about to read it :D!!!!
+Nightcore Freak Thank you!
I'm glad you take the time to look at comments. Miku Falls is so creative. I'm going to get the second book tomorrow. I can't wait!!!
