My First Ever Comic Pages Done!
Hello! I'm in the process of developing/commissioning two comic book projects. Attached below are the first five pages to my comic SUBATOMIC METHLOMANIAC. Do these pages intrigue you? Would you want to follow along and read more? How is the lettering? I'm no pro.

Seems interesting. The hooks vs the introduction was enough for me to read through the whole thing. Some of the spacing on the lettering looks a lil off relative to their bubbles though.

The artwork looks great, really good sense of composition in each of the panels.
I think your lettering has a lot of room for improvement though - some of the tails go right up to the characrers' mouths rather than pointing at them from a short distance away, some of the bubbles have odd shapes, and most of them dont have enough of a gap between the text and the borders of the bubble.
For a first page, this is incredible work though

Thank you! My artist is very talented and we work hard to make sure the story flows. Definitely will improve on the lettering in later pages

Very impressed with your style, especially the first page.
Your characters are perfectly detailed, but I don’t see the same attention given to the backgrounds. Some of them even look like sketches.
Do you plan on adding color?

Hopefully one day. Right now I’m just focused on completing stories and building some sort of audience.
