Wonder Man needed two more episodes to run out that back half. Same events, just spread them out and give them some of the pause and texture that thickens the thematic gravy.
As the thing is, it's a little bit, but not at all, like going from Quitely to Kordey in Morrison's X-MEN.

Seems obvious now, but the Lynch aspects didn't really come out at me until reading the script. The Miller's Crossing frame looms larger on the page, too; I'm not so distracted by Laura's falcon eyes.

Obviously there's a ton of good-faith answers to this question, but that's beside the point. Movies, TV shows, comics, these are more than just frictionless mechanisms for relating events to an audience. The way in which they tell the story IS the story. Everything else is just Wikipedia.

I waved my cigarette.
"You've got the gun," I said. "You make the rules."
