dude, this is really good! wish I could pump out sixteen pages like this

Aww that's a sweet ending, and the work as a whole made me remember that I should be working on my comic's prologue lol

This is a pretty skillfully done comic. The linework and shading feel confident and the backgrounds are detailed enough without being distracting. No issues with the panel layout either, everything flows well. Your visual storytelling is quite good - at no point was I wondering "what is going on?" or "who is this character?" And I enjoyed the ending. It caps the comic off on a poetic note while also providing a sequel hook. Kudos for completing the comic - it's no small feat to finish something when there's a deadline hanging above your head. And good luck in the contest!
