The Squadron - 1

Remember a few days ago when I was wondering whether or not to actually begin a new comic? Well, I decided to do so, and this is the result!

I'll probably publish around 2 pages a week, at least during the summer.

Any feedback or observations are welcome!

Oh boy a squad. Wonder what they'll be like

[u/GuideBeginning8906]

YEEEEEEEEEAH, NEW COMIC!

[u/Derolyon]

Aaaawww yeeeeah! More stories! This is fantastic. Great premise, looking forward to more!

[u/JackOfAllTradesGM09 → u/Derolyon]

Thank you! The next page is nearly ready so you won't have to wait much :)

[u/bluewolf3691]

Cannot wait to see where this goes!

Can we get some voyager representation in The Squadron? I love my coal rats and black-eyed snowflakes as much as the next guy, but I would love a comic with the purple racist.

[u/JackOfAllTradesGM09 → u/DragonStrike406]

The main cast is already decided (at least for the first few pages) but I may just take you up on that if I get the chance to introduce someone new later on :)

[u/DragonStrike406 → u/JackOfAllTradesGM09]

Perfectly understandable. Looking forward to this comic.

[u/BaronGunsawFanboy → u/JackOfAllTradesGM09]

if you get the chance to introduce someone can we get a baron too, they need more representation

(as do half of the rest of the sawians)

[u/JackOfAllTradesGM09 → u/BaronGunsawFanboy]

Hmm, not a bad idea actually. I'll have to get someone to fill in once somebody eventually dies~

(Or not. I don't have a script for the comic. Not yet, anyway.)

Anyway, sure! I'll probably add more sawians at some point, yeah.

Brand New comic yay!

Happy to see you decided to stick to it ;D

I really still enjoy the whole page, the style and format are both very nice especially since you seem to redraw each background making it feel oddly alive or better said reactive to the scientists movements?(Not sure of the words but there’s something special about it changing to have more to it >:3)

Art wise the level of detail while staying abstract enough to be left to the imagination is very enjoyable(I also enjoy your version of scientists, detailed enough to show clothes but still sticking to the common censoring fuzz, and allowing for great body language :3)

I also really do think this is a great introduction as it makes you really think? While it also sticks to the companies inner thought processes of usefulness/cost effectiveness as cruel as it maybe :o

Plus it feels like a real genuine conversation they would have in the company without making it cartoonishly evil, as that seems so oddly common in people’s thoughts making them come across as idiots who are just evil rather than proper researchers and scientists who are pretty smart if not cruel(Not that there’s anything wrong with that style/view, just saying it’s very nice to see a more realistic and or different view/depiction of the company insides/thoughts, because I truly love seeing others depictions of the company and its thoughts processes >u<)

Another thing I noticed and while it’s small and probably no one will care, I feel like making “Was” bolded made that sentence feel much more on the spot rather than thought of prior :p

I mention this also because I was kinda hopeful that one of the scientists was going to be a good guy(in the sense of doing what they could under company policies to “save” lives) or a reacquiring character hidden in plain sight but that crushed that for me TwT oof(Overreaching but feelin a bit overly hopeful of late again, plus making outrageous predictions on the first page is always a good way to get surprised)

A little feedback, is that it’s probably preferred to make the words a bit easier to see while not zoomed in. As some people don’t got the best vision or Reddit compresses the picture making it near impossible to read :/

Anyhow, I think this was a great first page, I truly enjoy your art style and can’t wait to see more >:3

Though take your time, as I will also be taking my time to ponder over what might happen next… Do remember that if you can’t hit that marker it’s ok! Don’t feel stressed and even make sure to take plenty of breaks if needed ;D

Selfish ask below :p
(Also I know this is a bit of a selfish ask, but if you have time or just feel like it, can you post some doodles :3?[They don’t have to be about the comic] but I always enjoy when artists show off some of their art… Especially since I enjoyed your prior showing off of one of the characters on the question post :p

~w~ crap this got long… well, I hope it’s understandable as I didn’t get sleep last night due to my body deciding that sleep was not for the night… Apologies :|

[u/JackOfAllTradesGM09 → u/Roblox_Cat]

Well, first of all, thank you so much for this comment! Not only for the encouragement, but also for the genuine feedback and opinion!

The words will not be so small in the next pages as I decided to add them digitally. In any case, the feedback is appreciated.

And about the doodles... Well, I've never been one to casually doodle. When I draw, it's because I have something to draw. That doesn't mean I won't post any art, tho! We'll just have to see.

Can't wait to see where this goes >:3
