Were I expecting a print volume — and I edit books and develop products — I would expect the whole work to go through first and second pages with art review. But this is a developing MS, as it were, and not a production job. It reflects partly the vicissitudes of the authors’ lives and it also reflects their commitment to a body of readers whom they don’t know. Yet they treat strangers with a good deal of respect and camaraderie, or perhaps Christian kindness as well, given the comic.

To receive that unselfish commitment in addition to a darn good yarn that piques the interest of a pastor with a good ten years of postgraduate education in which things medieval and ancient are a fixture, and to get it for EL FREEBO, well, I’m inclined to be charitable and look forward to the graphic novel. Yep, I’d buy it.

This is not something you usually draw. This looks like it isn’t your work at all. If you feel that your artwork is not good, then take time to make it better. We can wait a bit longer for better art.

Regardless, I really like this scene - especially the cutesy “TARA” bracelet, her reaction in frame 4, and Rex’s amazing nonchalance.

The look you can imagine is concealed behind the mask of the other woman is very well reflected in her posture I think.
