Welcome to r/vertical

A vertical comic is comprised of a series of images taken from a scene that tells a story using captions/reaction-shots and contains a punchline.

Rules

Only post vertical comics. No memes, adviceanimals or image macros stacked on each other.

Your vertical comic must use the correct format.

If you are unsure if a vertical contains the correct format message a mod.

Tag all NSFW content.

Criticism is accepted, however, blatant attacks on other users are not. This also applies to trolling.

Report any inappropriate content or submissions that break the rules and/or message the mods.

Any breach of the rules will result in a warning, with further breaches resulting in a ban. Complete disregard for the sub, its users and the mods will result in an instant ban.

Making Vertical Comics

They should be displayed vertically, contain continuity and be several frames in length.

The frames of vertical comics should be taken from scenes in movies/programs, videos or events.

Each frame should be captioned. ~~NEW~~ ~~with the exception of the final frame which is a silent reaction frame~~. No silent frame necessary anymore.

In other cases, alternate set-ups can be used such as having more than one silent frame and/or positioning them differently, or having no silent frame at all (so long as there is a punchline).

The most important aspect of vertical comics is re-usability. Vertical comic templates should allow the use of more than just one joke, however, the odd variation is accepted.

Do not quote scenes word for word.

Read this post to familiarize yourself with what a good vertical looks like and see here for a full description of vertical comics.
