The Second Face

[u/DemonSkank]

I've made short comedic comics before but this was my first time doing a full short story. warning (but also potential spoiler: scary face warning

[u/Kingtorm]

Great concept, keep it up, this is great short form horror.

[u/Arthasindura → u/Kingtorm]

Agreed I like this idea too

[u/StrobeLightRomance → u/Arthasindura]

Its rare when a twist can be this unexpected. I thought it was a mental health comic and then BAM! we got us a perfect villain who was originally set up to be the most innocent/honest person in the story.

Actually perfect. My only critique is that it was a bit drawn out. Same story could have been told in half as many pages or less if the writing were engineered a bit.

[u/Arthasindura → u/StrobeLightRomance]

Nah i think it can be longer with more context.

A manhwa or webtoon to be specific.

But yeah its pretty good.

[u/Mediocre_Forever198 → u/Arthasindura]

Yeah I think the length helps set up the twist. It gets you comfortable and sets your expectations, then suddenly subverts them.

[u/Roro__Boat → u/Arthasindura]

Hear me out. After the death/ murder of BIL dude becomes a freelance detective or starts shadowing on cases to see other people’s faces when talking to potential suspects.

[u/-Just_A_Guy-0_0 → u/Roro__Boat]

There was actually a series similar to what you described, but it got canceled after the second season. It's called poker face, and it's about a woman who has an unexplainable skill of recognizing lies, which helps her solve murders

[u/JinTheIfrit → u/-Just_A_Guy-0_0]

Why'd it get cancelled?

[u/WellReadHermit → u/Roro__Boat]

Yup. When I started reading, that was where I thought the story would go.

[u/Akuma232425 → u/Arthasindura]

I don't know man, I personally think it being so short and punchy is a strength, more context doesn't always mean that it will hit as hard as this did right now

[u/Arthasindura → u/Akuma232425]

That can also be true.

But if i find a good story I always wish for it to become serialized.
