I like the story in this one better than Stroll in the Woods 1. The first one felt a lot slower and unnecessarily drawn-out because it had a lot of pages that weren't necessary. This one gets right to the point much more quickly, which kept my interest better. One thing to be careful of is the direction your characters are facing: in pages 7 and 8, the little girl is facing to the left, but in every other page her body faces right. It seems like a minor thing, but it can break up the flow of a story pretty easily, so practice paying close attention to the direction of your characters and keeping it consistent. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about the believability of the demon character's motivation. Taken as a stand-alone comic, I think the demon's change of heart works fine, but since the previous comic showed the demon attacking a guy, the change of heart felt a little less believable. Perhaps making the demon's reaction on page 11 a little more ambiguous or making the presentation of the candy more frightening would help with the believability. I really love the flame effects you're using for the demon, and I really like the texturing you're doing with the background inks.
I didn't expect that, I'm really happy I read it! what a fantastic ending. I really like the twist
my only critique is that we had a close up of the girl where we could have seen
*spoilers!!!*
bruises sooner, I would have put the marks elsewhere on the body if I didn't want to show them sooner.
*!!spoilers!! end*
that being said, I loved it. the colours worked with the emotion really well.
