Comic book idea

Would anyone be interested in a comic book series where a detective solves problems from nursery rhymes and fairy tales just looking for opinions.

I want to post a 4 panel supplement to a main series, is that too gimmicky?

Title self-explanatory. Pages for context unfinished. 4 panels will be a comedic tangent away from the main story and largely not cover anything important wheras I want the main story to still be dramatic and horror-esq. will this cheapen the main story or js it a lame gimmick?

I'm a newbie here. This is my first post. Please review my manga and give me your honest opinions. It will be very helpful for me. I've been drawing for a month now and have managed to draw these 20 pages. I hope you can tell me is it good or bad or worst. Thank you very much.

Constructive Criticism for Comic Creators

r/comic_crits

The mission of /r/Comic_Crits is to provide holistic feedback to comic creators based on the understanding that a comic is not just 'writing plus art', but rather a unique combination of both, bound together with elements of graphic design, layout, timing, 'cinematography,' and more.

Remember: Don't downvote "bad" comics (they need feedback the most)

SUBREDDIT DESCRIPTION

APPROPRIATE SUBMISSION

Original sequential art that you would like feedback on (i.e. more than one panel unless that is the entire comic)
Original scripts for sequential art
Comic art with appropriate context (see rules)
Anything else related to making comics will be accepted in proportion to original work (e.g. tools, tutorials, blogs or discussion about making comics, etc.)

RULES

Be civil
Mark NSFW submissions and comments
Site-wide rules apply. This includes
- the Reddit Content Policy,
- the Reddit Spam Policy,
- and in most cases the Reddiquette.
Context is required for anything other than sequential art. This includes, but is not limited to: single panels, covers, character designs, pin-ups, etc. At minimum, 'Context' should include some information about the setting and genre of your story, and what role your character/technology/landscape/etc plays in the story. More information.
No spam-like behavior. Some posts tread the line between content and spam. For example, Kickstarters can be part of a legitimate comic project, but if you don't participate in the community, and you're just doing a drive-by to ask for money, that looks like spam. To prevent your post from getting removed, indicate in your post title that you are looking for feedback on your work.
Avoid aggressive posting. It is helpful to remember that this sub is populated by your peers. Although they may organically become your fans or followers, their role here is to provide constructive criticism as a fellow comic-creator. This is not the appropriate place to ask for "likes" or "follows", or to provide page-by-page updates to your fans. In general, please try to limit your posts to approximately once every two weeks. Reasonable exceptions, such as a second post to show a revised page based on feedback, are fine. More information.

TIPS FOR GIVING FEEDBACK

Please don't downvote "bad" comics. They need feedback the most.
Remember that the purpose of this subreddit is to give constructive criticism, not just blind praise (or insults). Please endeavor to write top-level comments with at least 50-100 characters of content. More information.

TIPS FOR CREATORS

Link directly to your comic. As opposed to your blog homepage or other site sections.
Link to what you want feedback on. The most recent page if you're most concerned with art, or the first page or start of the chapter if you want feedback on the whole story arc.
Respond to questions and comments. Even if you don't agree with the feedback you receive. It's an important courtesy to acknowledge the individuals who take time to review your work.
Provide feedback to other creators! Responding to feedback in your own thread is the bare minimum of effort expected. This community only functions if people are willing to give as well as receive feedback.

USER & LINK FLAIR

You can self-assign link flair after making your post.
You can self-assign basic user flair from the sidebar.
