About the author

Just a regular nerd, reading comics and enjoying life the best I can. I've made my own comics, as well as short stories and books. These days I still occasionally try to create some of those.

My main focus here is writing reviews to spread love throughout the comic and manga worlds. I also make YouTube videos with deep dives on comic characters, so come check me out there as well.

Add me if you want to talk anytime! I love nerding out. Now go enjoy reading some good comics!

Once again, thanks for the free read. :)
I'm happy to say this issue is a vast improvement compared to the first. Story wise it was more entertaining and flowed better. The characters are much more vivid, interesting and feel more fleshed out. Our main character wasn't a jerk either. He felt more real with the issue he's going through.

The sudden shift to be a hero still felt a bit jarring and not worked up too. On one hand plenty of decisions can be spur of the moment, but considering how big a decision it is it would have been nice to get more of a reason for his change in mind.
The plot progression overall, feels more natural and away from the random forced coincidences. This issue just came across as more compelling.
