Red Zone: Sci Fi Ghost Story?

Post by Moonshadow »

Since it's been nearly a year since I pitched in here, and in that time I've (gasp) added a whole new chapter... well, more than that, but currently I stand at two chapters and a prologue, with the third starting in two days.

Real comics are bigger and clearer. ^_^ Just downsized for the purposes of posting here without killing any connections.

Description: On the space station Eri-Aku, a war between the corporation Strathmore-Aldebaran and the residents of the station is about to escalate. Only one man has the power to stop this war, and he's already dead.

Feedback is welcome, as long as it's not on the shifting art style. ^^;; I do keep playing with it, I openly admit that, and I'm falling into one I like, which is different slightly from what's there, but even if I weren't doing that, over the course of over a year drawing these characters it would have shifted anyway. And yes, I know I can't draw hands, I'm working on it. >.< Anything else is good as long as it's constructive--can't do anything without the hints on what to do.

I don't generally read manga-style comics because I'm a bitter, mean old bastard that way. However, you have a good, if not completely original, premise (Escape from New York-ish). Your backgrounds are very nice, though the characters themselves seem a bit stiff at times.

Since your comic is a continuing narrative, I would take all of your one-shots, pin-ups and fan art and stick them on a separate page. They really interrupt the flow of the story and are just plain annoying. I would also reccommend relying less on "voice over" and show, rather than tell, more of what's going on.

I only read a bit of the first chapter, but there is certainly quite a lot of potential there.
Of course, I'm the one that isn't JP Sloan or Jim North.

I appreciate the feedback, thanks ^_^ (And the narrative does pretty well go away after about the first half of the first chapter, I'll try to make sure it doesn't come back too much. ^^)
