As long as it didn't cross the line, I'm cool with it :)

I realized that as I was doing this. Lots and lots of text. But as you
said, I was already getting a LOT of images. Some of the interplay would be
lost if the text was spread out over more images. Keep in mind, though that
this is just my second comic. I'm sure my style will evolve and I'll
hopefully get better at this as time goes by :)

Good luck with this. The downside of comic-style storytelling is exposition
is a little difficult to deal with. I think my next installment is going to
be very heavy on action and pretty light on dialogue. Although it most
certainly won't get done until the new year because of holiday commitments.
Thanks for the good words!
Adrian
