Thanks… the way it fits into the overall story is that the guy who got shot (Crosetti) is the big boss who was Kayla’s rival, who Eddie used to work for before he ran off with Four-Eyed Janey, and who Janey was being held captive by in an attempt to get some information about Kayla’s operation. The other guy’s just a random thug who works for Crosetti, sort of taking up Eddie’s role while Eddie is (Crosetti thinks) off looking for an escaped Janey.

I shoulda done a better job visually establishing him in this particular story.

Thanks for the compliments, though!

I don’t know how this page fits into the grand scheme of things (my own fault), but I really liked it nonetheless. I love the dialogue here; it’s a tradition of sorts to “listen in” on the random conversations of criminals and this was good stuff.

“Jesus shit” is a great profanity. Kinda rolls off the tongue. Of us heathens.

Some of your better storytelling in a while here, too. The last three panels are gold.

Thanks! I think this one actually came out alright, I only hate half the panels.

Really nice storytelling in this one. The closeup of his face in panel 4 is very good.

Yeah, her eyes are a bit googly… each set presents its own separate complete picture. Confusing for us, but it’s all Janey’s ever known, and by now she’s figured out ways to use the extra eyes to her advantage.

Action scene! Well done, man. I love the “crouched and ready to spring” pose. Hmm. Just one question: do her eyes focus on two places at the same time? That would be very confusing…

Jason: I ain’t fer sure about Ganan’s body art. All I mentioned to Bryan was that he’s covered in Aboriginal markings and tattoos, and that’s what he came up with. I like the design quite a bit, although it’s already been slightly tweaked.

Sara: You so mean to poor Kayla, what’d she ever do to you?

Neat! I’m looking forward to the long story collaboration.
Oh, and I was very happy that Kayla was offed last week. : )

Those character designs are awesome. I mean, obviously you can’t miss with cyborg dogs (what a missed opportunity THAT’s been all these years) and the others are equally cool. One question: is Ganan’s (neat font, btw) bellybutton an eye on a hand that covers his stomach?

That’s Mike in the first panel (just as in the last… and peeking out in the second)… I agree with you that the perspective is bad on that one, he’s just supposed to be hiding behind a tree across the street, not staring down at the scene from up on a hill 30 yards away from the road. Live n’ learn…

This was a hard page to do for me… not just because I totally suck at drawing cars, either. The staging of it could have maybe used a little more room to breathe, but I wanted it to be quick, sudden… Kayla is caught in one of the few moments in her life where she could be taken by surprise in this way (because of her previous confrontation with Mike).

Plus, I gotta admit… I love the murdering witch. But, have to serve story over characters….
