"Uhhh... about 30 pages of explosions and tidal waves."''\|[[Scott Pilgrim]] & Ramona Flowers on ''[[Akira]]''.}} A trend that flourished in the late 90s and early 00s in the wake of [[Trope Codifier]] ''[[The Authority]]'' written by [[Warren Ellis]] and drawn by Bryan Hitch. Heavily inspired by long-form [[Manga]] series, ~~[[Decompressed Comic\|~~'''Decompressed Comics]]''' rely heavily on [[Splash Panel~~\|Splash Panels~~]]s, [[Aspect Montage~~\|Aspect Montages~~]]s and minimal dialogue to maximize the visual effect of a story. ''[[The Authority]]'' aimed to mimic the widescreen action of a Hollywood movie by creating images that were as big and as striking as possible. This trope is also used by people who want to add a slower, cinematic pace by, for example, using an entire page to show someone walking silently down a corridor in numerous panels, in order to create tension or otherwise express a mood.
