One thing I have noticed with your comics though that I think should be brought up is that I always seem to have a hard time following them (even the last one where you suggested other comics to read first. Where it sounded like you've had to deal with this before already). Where, like current American comics, I would need to have read a bunch of older comics, just to know what's happening.

I appreciate your perspective, but I simply do not make long enough comics to re-explain the context every time I have a battle, unlike your examples of comics that are long enough to include this context. Especially on a site where you can link the other comics (for free), I don't feel obligated to draw panels to draw what I've already drawn in the past. I also don't personally like recaps at the beginning of comics and have actually made critiques about them because it feels like spoon-feeding instead of letting people look on their own.
*That being said* I know some of the things I draw are leaps of logic sometimes because it connects in my brain and I forgot to actually establish the link, and that *is* something I am trying to work on!
My comment about needing to read previous comics is actually because some people specify never reading them, so I add the context and say that certain comics do need to be read for full context and to not mention their confusion if they haven't. =)
I'm pretty sure it's Dairyu's dragon form looking at the design sheet...But just the act of having to do that to understand what I'm looking at, takes me out of the story. Make it easier for me (and everyone else)!

It was actually supposed to be symbolic Louise's eldritch form! I was wanting to color this comic originally but ran out of time, so I'm willing to accept that it's confusing. Sorry about that!
If you're using a different language for effect, make sure it's correct if you're insinuating that the character's native tongue is actually not English. Because, as a French person, when I get to the French bits, it takes me out.

Absolutely fair! I'll be honest that I misremembered Louise's other comics where I thought she spoke half and half, but looking at them now, she only uses French rarely so I definitely had a misstep there.
Thanks for the critique!

Snowy- Love the quality of the lineart and the detail in the characters in your comic! The bgs are effective, the heavily patterned floor and the big ol' pillar give the impression of a big opulent building with only a few details so I appreciate that. The gun is cool and the explanation fits well where you put it between the panels. I like the use of sound effects too!
