Finally get to sit down and comment on this one!! Wow, what an absolutely captivating comic. Your storytelling prowess shines through in every panel, creating an atmosphere that is super tense and captivating. Nathaniel is so well portrayed - his cruelty towards Fuchs is as chilling as it is intriguing. I felt myself constantly questioning the morality of Nat while still rooting for him. The way you've paced out every movement makes the story flow like a movie, which is probably one of my favorite things ever :D. Some of the visuals made me audibly go like "OW" which is a good sign it's doing what's intended hahaha, super effective gore! Your ability to introduce new elements and pieces of the story such a seamless way is nothing short of brilliant. Without knowing much about Nat's history beforehand, the reader can easily pick everything up they need to know just in the first couple panels. The way you limit the palette in certain panels is super eye-catching and really drew attention to the "feeling" being evoked at that moment (if that makes sense). As always, your art is constantly getting even better than before, the varied use of angles helped keep things flowing, even though the majority of the story took place in just 1 room. Also the surprise Vincent at the end was the cherry on top, love him!!!!!!! Amazing art, amazing story, amazing character that I just wanna know so much about already!! Looking forward to more from you, Putrid!

This was fantastic Putrid! The part with the nails had my fingers curling, it looked so painful! Seeing a peak of Nathaniel in his element of schmoosing and winning people over to retrieving information from them. I love him even more now. Fantastic! A++

I absolutely loved this comic! You could really feel the pained expressions and I physically cringed at the torture... The tension was so palpable, I loved all of it! I'm looking forward to even more about any of your characters, your writing is spectacular! ❤️

I've been looking forward to reading this and I am glad that it's finally out. I love how each of your characters are very interesting on their own while they also support each other's narratives. Stellar storytelling as usual with gorgeous art to boot! Just a couple of minor notes: I did notice a few typos and I think Ted's terrified expression could've been pushed a bit more on page 10 panel 6. I mentioned this to you but I am so impressed with the way you build tension in your comics. I could feel the dread from each and every panel. I knew something bad was going to happen and that kept me at the edge of my seat this whole time. Vincent's arrival was the metaphorical delicious cherry on top in this lovely comic of yours. As always, I eagerly look forward to what comes next!

An absolutely fantastic entry from start to finish! There are so many little details throughout that add so much to the story and characters I'm still super duper impressed at how you tastefully pulled off what would normally be a pretty gritty and gruesome sequence. As always your colors and shadows just keep improving with each entry, which just makes me EXTREMELY JELOUS HAH I was so stoked about finally being able to have a comic with Nat front and center and it didn't disappoint at all! Especially considering that so far they had been relegated to a sort of long distance approach mercenary. Getting to see them in action close and personal really opened my eyes to the full extent of their capabilities. And all the while, you also progress the plot you've been working towards for a good while! All in all, and EXCELLENT JOBBY! Can't wait to see more!

Great job Putrid this was a very engaging read! Already gone through it a couple times to really drink it in I think the parts that stick out that need the most work regard your use of negative space. Most compositions are well placed but there are panels (1 of pg 3, 1 of pg 4, 7-9 of pg 6, and 1 of pg 7) where the emptiness feels less intended and more like the composition needed some tweaking. This is something that happens a lot with color work, where you can get away with it with black and white but once you introduce colors you're having readers now expect a whole extra layer of detail in your compositions (these panels as a result are more pronounced when placed with your other panels that have great backgrounds and compositions). Some of it is as simple as tweaking the size and position of the head like in the 1st panel of page 4; remember to keep the word balloons in mind when building these compositions too (to that end, for some of these panels if they're more tall than wide, try moving your heads to the sides of the panels rather than dead center; it gives you more room to move your word balloons in a more pleasing arrangement). Sometimes a very simple background accent, light opacity silhouette of something else in the back, can help give these empty colored spaces that polished oomph A second thing I wanna touch on is giving more love to your sound effects! Here's some tricks when using pre-made fonts: if your program's text tool allows it, you can adjust the height position and even width/length of individual letters to keep them from being too uniform, and you can take it further by rasterizing the text entirely, using the lasso tool to move and distort and warp letters here and there, and then go even futher with the liquify to help it wrap around the background the way you want. Don't be afraid of adding extra effects by hand right onto the text (like blood splatter coming off the slash in pg 7), the more you treat the words as part of the art the more you'll find enjoyment in applying them and making them feel more united with your artwork

This was painful looking, but in the good way! I enjoyed it a lot! Specially how Vincent looks and appears at the end! The colors you used for the storytelling are superb and add a lot to what is happening!

Puti this is INCREDIBLE!!! Superb work, honey! I’m so in love with all your color choices and you did such a wonderful job with the lighting! You know I’m a big fan of Nathaniel, so I’m so delighted to see a BB for him! I can’t wait to see where this goes, and who that giant lycan Asaroth has under their thumb, ohhh I’m shaking in excitement!
