Part four of the first act in a continuing story.
Alright part four is going to surprise some people who have been following the story so far, since this one is a little different than the last few, but trust me it will all come together in the end.

Please if you haven't seen the last three check those out first, or this won't make sense (links to all three previous comics are provided in the "select comic" page)
Thanks and enjoy!

Sincerely,

I feel this one holds the story together.

~ Animation/Graphics ~

I like how you added bits and pieces of animation in when people talked and the text boxes. Just this slight animation was very pleasing to the eye. The drawing style was quite good and you did a great job improving the drawings from the last one. I know you didn't listen to me because I wrote that review after this submission, but it seemed to be a common fault many people found.

~ Story/Content ~

This story wasn't as interesting as the other ones, but I have a feeling that it's going to make things make much more sense when I watch future episodes. I have a few predictions on what I think might happen, but I feel like it's going to be something completely random that I can't figure out. That's exactly what you want in a series like this so great!

~ Audio ~

The same song as usual. I guess if it's not broken then don't fix it. It might be nice to mix up the songs every now and then though.

~ Overall ~

Not as engaging as the last ones, but like I said I feel that this one might be important. Something that I recommend fixing if you ever do this in the future is making it clear on who is talking first. Perhaps don't have the next bubble come up until the person clicks the next arrow.

Celx-Requin responds:

Yeah this one sets up alot of pieces of really important information.

I actually do make it clear who is taking first, if you notice the speech bubbles are tweened at different times, so whichever speech bubble appears first that's who starts talking ect...

Thanks,

Good again

It's a bit hard to review a series of flashes and always come up with something new.
Anyway, I like this episode very much. Even though I want to see how the story continues with the main character it's always nice to see some other characters acting in the plot. This gives the story more depth and also develops the world you created for the characters to act in further.

The ending is quite touching. "I agreed that killing someone can be okay, this is the saddest day of my life."
I think we all can think of situations where killing someone is more humane than letting the person live (for example if the person is seriously wounded and would die anyway, but only after hours and hours of pain). But admitting that killing a person can be the best choice is still shocking.

Celx-Requin responds:

Yeah this one turned out pretty good, and is the best score of the bunch.
So I'm pretty happy, I want to get into those kind of grey area issues with the series a bit more, I just don't want to come off as pretentious either...

Thanks for the review!

Ah, philosophy

I can see what you did regarding my issue over the breast shape, but I wouldn't have personally said that the shape of the woman's breasts in the last episode were consistent with breast augmentation surgery. Still, I'm no expert, though I have studied abroad... or two :P

I like the way that the junior officer on this case is going through a crisis of conscience, but having to acknowledge that the euthanasia of a tortured individual is the best route - I'm not sure that a court of law would agree with him on this, but that's possibly something to be dealt with later on in this piece.

I'm getting more used to the unusual drawing style that you have and I'm sure that you should consider getting this piece made more towards something that could be published via lulu or something else like that. You've got the talent and I'd be interested to see how you could do with this, if you went the distance.

Celx-Requin responds:

I'm glad to hear that you've studied abroad, you are most fortunate as I have only studied one...

I digress, I was planning on releasing them as a limited edition cd like way edmund did his collection of games. I'm not too sure how big of an audience I have though...

But I'll check out the lulu, do you have a link?

Thanks,
- Celx

I liked it alot

That's a very nice job, you made a coll comic, we don't see a comic submission everyday in NG...You have BALLS ma friend...
That's a nice and entertaining story, but sometimes the characters face are very bad drawed... But other times, the characters body are awesomely well drawed...
I love this style of drawing, a lot of lines that together make a nice body...It's a nice style for a comic book...

Celx-Requin responds:

Cool, if it makes it any easier the next time you write a review you can make it in spanish as I can read the language.

Thanks,

These are pretty nice...

The eerie music really chills me. On a side note, "4" in roman numerals is IV, not IIII.

Celx-Requin responds:

Actually it can be both...
But your right that's the proper way to do it.

Thanks,
- Celx
