You've got to remember that Jamie and Rob are doing this paper book style in a web medium. Part of what this means is that a two page spread of the combat between Parson's 'I have an evil plan' look and "Pop goes the evil plan" takes us at least a week to get through. It's a sad fact of cross media works.

Scott Sava over at Dreamland Chronicles commented on this a while ago. He uses Text variations to distinguish speakers, but for one of the characters in Book 4, he used a different font at first for the web comic. He stated afterwards (whne he changed it back) that for someone reading through book 4 the color and style of the font as they take 20 minutes to read a dozen pages might not cause a 'lightbulb' moment to remember we've seen this font/color combo before. But in the three weeks that web readers have to pick over the pages, they're going to recognise, and comment on, the re0use, and then you lose some of the surprise over who the speaker was when you finally see his face.

The only real solution for this, and it suXX0r big time, is to not read the comic more than once every two months. That way you get a 16 page block, with no waiting. In fact, if you get time, go back now and re-read the first 46 pages in one sitting. You'll find the pacing a lot better than it was the first time through.
