Invader Scurk

Haha! It's finally happened! With the tremendous help of Dr Neo Lao, I got my comic site up and running, and, after updating on Mondays and Fridays for a good two months or so, I finally have a reservoir of comics big enough to pitch my comic here! I currently have 25 pages up, so without further ado, here is a description of Invader Scurk.
To start with, if you haven't seen the Invader Zim TV series, some elements of my comic won't make sense. However, most people who see Invader Zim are fans of it, so I'm sure there's a dedicated, if small audience out there for me. If you are not a fan, and are planning to review my comic, then here is a general description for you.
Invader Scurk is an alien soldier, one of many sent out to the cosmos to subvert and conquer all the other species of the galaxy. At the start of the comic, he is returning to the flagship of his races' armada, to report to the two (rather silly) leaders of the campaign (and his whole species). In his society, class is determined by height, with the tallest guy being the leader. There are currently two leaders the exact same height. So Scurk gets back, and the leaders notice that he is almost as tall or even taller than them! This would mean that they would loose their power, so they naturally send him away to the furthest planet they can think of. And that is the spring board for my series. All his adventures will occur on his journey to the forsaken little mudball at the edge of the galaxy (Earth), and will continue on from there.
Now, for any of you who may know the Invader Zim series, I'll break it down with some show-specific jargon.
Scurk is one of the many invaders sent out in the Great Assigning. He returns to The Massive to report the success of his mission to the Tallest. Upon arrival, they realize that he is as tall or taller than them. Naturally, they freak out and decide to send him to Zim, hoping his "stupid" will kill Scurk off in short order. Being a successful invader, he gains access to veteran invader equipment, including a new ship and a new top-of-the-line SIR. Of course, the Tallest want to take out some insurance that he doesn't survive, and that's where things get interesting. And that is the spring board for my series. All his adventures will occur on his journey to the forsaken little mudball at the edge of the galaxy (Earth), and will continue on from there.
The comic is peppered with pop culture references that most people will get (300 reference, Team Fortress two reference), and some general, all around fun good humor. So please, check out my comic. My art started good and got better, and my Photoshop skills have gotten steadily better, so that my latest pages are top quality.
