I agree partially with Eminkey. You don't need to strive for cleanliness necessarily, look at Jho's work. Messy and still incredibly high quality, it works for her style. Same with yours. What you need is clarity. You shower everything with hatching and speedlines kinda haphazardly. CHILL OUT. As for your text, I'd say stick with handwritten text-- but lay out straight lines with some tool to right your text on. That way it doesn't look sloppy in your bubbles. You handwriting's fine, you just aren't clear enough with it.

You have had this problem since forever, I can see it in a bunch of your work: You draw arms way too long and legs too short. Mainly the arm thing, the legs aren't TOO short, but the arms are hella long. Not sure what to recommend for that, but if you know the problem you should be able to find a way to remedy it.

One last thing that Eminkey touched on: PENCILS. I know you don't use them, I know you think they're the devil, but try them. You probably can't be as fluid with them as your straight inks, but that'll come with practice. I think it'd keep your proportions from going wonky, which they do (especially in your trads).

i think you work straight onto the page with ink right?
My suggestion would be to draw some pencils first not nessesarily super detailed pencils, on the contrary, just a couple of lines, a stick figure, jsut to get the proportions and poses right then work over the figure you have. See i love the messyness and energy that is your style but sometimes its let down by proporional and anotomical mistakes.

I prefer the font text to the hand written stuff, because the handwritter stuff is all mushed together to fit in.

Nice work, in keeping with the noir-ish feeling your work has, You should use the comic to expand on that and try some other styles too.

Can't wait to see more!

i actually rather like your handwritten stuff, it reflects your artwork nicely. makes everything look unique.

great lighting and overall effects.

hot. the lil bits of color makes it even more appealing.

Dudeguyyyyy, ya gotta work on that handwriting. Style is one thing, but when text becomes illegible, people might not stick around to read it. On the other hand, if you could make or find a font like that, it would look great, with all the letters curving inward and stretched wide. 
I like the black BGs everywhere, and the small size of the strips though. Looks pretty original for a lil' webcomic.

i adore the motion in that last one. and the use of white is really captivating.

one thing to nitpick, is the arm length, from shoulder to elbow. and going by that i also think the torso seems short. 

awesome piece anyways
Gulp! Elio ate your giant signature! yum yum!

I love you Monday.  If you weren't already doing weekly updates, I'd give you an organ a week until I was down to just eyes connected a brain connected to a computer connected to my brain so I could still see the updates.  Death to punctuation, long live sci fi...err Monday!  ;D
From across the room I thought you were punchin, but up close I can see you're kickin!

I see nothing wrong with his handwriting, and I think that it works better in the panels than computer text would. But that's just my humble opinion.

It makes me mad Quentin (of the Tarantino variety) stole your machine gun leg concept. Hm.

That's a charming boom, sir.
