I enjoyed it. Not sure what improvements could be made. Is this going to be comic for everyone or adult oriented? If more towards adults you could have humor in it like Archer cartoon series has. That would lively up some of the parts. Seems like a good start though with mysteries in it to keep the reader interested in what happens next.

I'm shooting for something more PG-13 in nature. There will be a few adult situations but nothing too graphic. It doesn't really fit in with the story. Humor will play a part in the series but I tried to avoid it in the first issue, as the subject material is pretty serious to start off before some of the more insane characters are introduced. Most of the humor will come from the actual situation and character him/herself, not any punchline-type stuff.

I can't wait to reveal the next character. In my opinion, he's both tragic and fucking hilarious.

That is the type of humor I prefer.  One liners, punchline, etc aren't really my style.  When I was a class clown back in my school days I would rely on situational humor the most (I still rely heavily on situational humor).  Something would happen and then I would be the first one to think of the best thing to say about the situation before anyone else could respond.  Just put the characters in awkward positions or have crap happen around them and think of a funny response to that situation.  Sounds like you are on the right track.

Just finished it and enjoyed it. One thing I didn't notice the first time through: What is Roger doing with his left hand on page 7 (final panel)? No wonder Blake is so freaked out!

I know it's a thankless job and a labor of love but I appreciate the work that went into your first issue and the website, too. Looking forward to where the story goes from here. The seeds have been planted and now I want to see what grows.

Ahahahahah, I'm not sure what Roger is doing there. Around the middle of the issue, I did go on a To Catch A Predator marathon so some of that may have seeped through into the drawings...

Glad you like it! I can't wait to start on the second issue. It's more of a "the introductions are out of the way so now we can start explaining some of these relationships" issue and more of the story is revealed. And at the end of the issue, I get to introduce my favorite character. He cracks me up in a very sad sort of way.

In the meantime, be sure to follow along with the next short story (Chris Volsky). I just posted the first two pages today. It's one of those stories where you're not sure if you should laugh at the end of it or not.
