Neal and Dex, you guys keep raising the bar on awesomeness. I wish I were on the awards committee for the Eisners or the Harveys or whatever so I could just throw awards your way.
Is that a poster of a TIE Fighter from Star Wars in the dead Charlie’s bedroom?
I gotta agree – this is one of those magic pages that make you think of some of the really really awesome mind expanding comic efforts back in the early 90’s, really good alternate reality getting real stuff. magic page. And yes, that has to be a TIE fighter …
Didn’t Dex just knock it out of the park? This was one of those cases where the page came in and I just had to sit and look at it for a long, long time.
I like this one a lot. It’s a little hard on the first viewing to get a sense of the flow here, but in the end that matters less than the fact that we have a good representation of a brawl that jumps dimensions. Nicely done.
Sometimes I like something… but then I can’t bring myself to say anything nice because everybody else is feverishly ejaculating over it, and I really don’t want to be affiliated with such numpties.
Lesson: There is an economy to compliments. If you go on about how amazingly awesome everything is all of the time, your words end up hollow and meaningless because there is no outside reference point. Sadly, this sort of thing has become the norm to the extent that people practically expect over-the-top praise for every little thing, and take criticism as the gravest of insults. Reminds me of that time some girl on one of those rating sites pitched a fit at me for giving her a 7 instead of a 10… at which point I promptly changed her rating to a 4.
… Still, this webcomic / graphic novel / whatever is well illustrated and I appreciate that, not that I’d debase myself for it.
TL;DR version: People are idiots, but cool comic bro.
While I don’t consider someone being repeatedly kind hollow or meaningless (any more than constantly being negative for the sake of not being hollow and meaningless is), I do appreciate the enthusiasm, and all the comments. Everyone comes at regarding a thing in their own way. Speaking as an ex-reviewer myself, it’s hard to walk that line when you don’t want to gush but do want to praise, and equally hard not to be a rage driven psycho in the minds of a given creator when you want to lay down a critique. What pulls a person in or out of a story is generally personal.
I do think there’s no right or wrong in that regard, only taste and not coming at other people, which is the litmus of trolling vs. honest negativity for me.
Welcome, regardless, and glad you’re enjoying the comic.

I think this is the second time Dark Everett has lost his “cool”, smirking demeanor and actually looked angry. What’s pissed him off?
That’s one beautiful fight. Love the flow. Dex, as usual, you’ve hit this one out of the park.
