    Default So I decided to get up and make a comic page......

    First one I've done in 10 years so.... you know. No high expectations.

    If I'd like to make this a series, does anyone have an idea how to post it on a site?

    Holy motherfuckin' shit! It's about goddamn time.

    This looks great!

    Now, all it needs is a girl with a rocket or something....

    Nice work, Max! Keep it up! I'd read it.

    Looks good! I really like your style.

    the only constructive criticism I can offer is to watch the placement of the word balloons in relation to the text boxes. I could follow it, but the reading flow was a bit awkward between the two panels on the top row.

    other than that?

    I'd read it too. . .

    I guess you could ask KPhoebe over at Girl-Wonder if she can spare the bandwidth!

    Alas, she is ... well, YOU know ... from New Zealand!

    Thanks, everyone. You're kind.

    Dazz..... time for some completed Amazon Blonde pages, then!

    Bert..... yeah, lettering is HARD, and drawing for text is hard too. I have to throw out a lot of my instincts about composition, and force myself to see the text as PART of the composition. Kudos to y'all letterers! I'm trying to keep the work as analogue as possible because I like the look, so I REALLY need to think about the placement of everything from the get-go. Eisner wrote a lot on this very topic, and I'm taking his words to heart. So, there'll be misteps along the way, but hopefully I can learn from them.

    Cool strip!

    The style reminds me of 1980s French comics which reeked of style and sophistication.

    I would be a loyal reader.

    Good luck with the strip as you have plenty of talent, so use it!
    Hmm...

    Drunkduck.com is pretty easy. You register and post comics to their server. It's virtually the same as uploading an attachment to an e-mail. They also usually feature webcomic two or three times a week. This means that selected comics remain on the front page of the site and it can really generate a lot of views for your comic. I think my comic went from something like 100 views a day to a little over 4000 a day during the week The Necropolis Chronicles was a featured comic.

    I haven't looked into webcomicnation, keen, or smack jeeves yet but I plan to do so to expand my readership of my webcomic.
