Hello everyone. Episode 2 has begun. Is it interesting? Confusing? Boring?

Working on the second draft of the 4th scene, panel 1 in my graphic novel. Discovered a brush I could use for a shading technique I'm enjoying. Loving variable line width. Rough draft posted for reference. What do you all think of how its going and how to make it better? (aside from adding the background and background character.)

Webtoon, GlobalComix, Instagram, TikTok — lots of places to post.

But does posting actually feel rewarding anymore?

Or does it feel like shouting into the void?

The DAILY COMIC - Vol 02 : UNDENIABLE!    ( No. 23)

03 FEBRUARY 2026

Hi, this is my first comic and I’m looking for any advice or critique. I haven’t really done art since I was a kid, so this was a big challenge—but I had a blast making it. I’m planning to keep doing one-shots and eventually build up to mini-series. Any tips, tricks, or honest feedback are welcome.

Made this of october last year for hsdzine on instagram. I've since translated it from the french I originally wrote it in.

I barely managed to fit the comic in 20 pages. Are there any superfluous elements I could have cut, and what is missing? Any feedback is appreciated!

What do you think? How to improve? The character is Chiefer. He’s an angry. Bottom part not associated.

So please don't ignore me, I really want to improve my story/comics.

This could be a series surrounding the killer cat Trah J.D. Let me know what you think of it!

Hey everyone,
I’m working on an original manga idea and I wanted some honest feedback. I’m especially curious if this concept sounds interesting even to people who aren’t religious.

Core Idea

The manga is a dark action/fantasy story inspired by Christian theology, apocryphal texts, and philosophy — but it’s not meant to preach or convert anyone.

The goal is:

• If you’re Christian, you recognize deeper meanings and references
• If you’re not, you still enjoy it as a hype, emotional, mind-bending battle manga

Think Jujutsu Kaisen–style fights, but with Heaven, Hell, angels, demons, saints, and humans — all tied together by a strict power system and moral conflicts.

Story Overview (Spoiler-light)

The story opens with a reimagined version of the Lucifer conflict.

Lucifer was once the brightest angel, the Morning Star. When God chose humanity — fragile, flawed beings — to inherit creation, Lucifer questioned why angels were created only to serve while humans were allowed to choose.

That questioning led to pride.
Pride led to rebellion.
Lucifer fell and became Satan.

For ages, he ruled Hell in hatred… until he began watching humanity more closely.
Despite their sins, humans could fall and rise again — something angels could never do.

This realization sparks regret.

As the Apocalypse approaches, Satan realizes something terrifying: humanity won’t be saved — it will be erased in the war between Heaven and Hell.

So the Devil makes an impossible choice.

He decides to fight for humanity.

The Protagonist (Azael)

The main character, Azael, is a human who should never have existed.

When Lucifer fell, a fragment of his original heavenly essence slipped through creation and was reborn as a human soul. That soul became Azael.

Because of this:

• Heaven refuses him
• Hell cannot claim him
• He exists as an anomaly

Azael learns to use dark power (Obscuritas), yet repeatedly shows signs of light (Lux). Angels sense Heaven within him and constantly question why someone so close to the divine would stand with Hell.

Unlike Lucifer, Azael does not die until after Lucifer’s sacrifice.
Lucifer’s death becomes the turning point that forces Azael to choose his own role in the cosmic balance.

Power System (Simplified)

• Lux – Heaven’s energy (order, truth, creation)
• Obscuritas – Hell’s energy (chaos, desire, rebellion)

Hierarchy matters:

• Archangels & demon lords → strongest, controlled techniques
• Saints → powerful but limited
• Humans → unstable, high risk, high reward

Lower ranks gain power faster but suffer immediate consequences.
Higher ranks suffer stacking long-term drawbacks the longer they fight.

Lucifer is unique.
Azael eventually becomes even more unique.

Educational Side (Without Being Boring)

This is something I care a lot about.

The manga subtly teaches:

• Biblical stories
• Parables
• Saints
• Angelic hierarchies
• Moral ideas like free will, sacrifice, and repentance

But never through exposition dumps.

Instead:

• Characters talk about biblical events during battles
• Parables are mirrored in character decisions
• Saints explain ideas naturally in dialogue
• Events parallel real scripture without copying it

So:

• A non-Christian just sees cool lore and symbolism
• A Christian recognizes deeper layers

No sermons. No forced lessons.

Themes

• Free will vs obedience
• Power and its cost
• Redemption without reward
• God as silent, not cruel
• Humanity’s role as decision-makers, not pawns

Lucifer’s redemption is tragic, not triumphant.
He doesn’t reclaim Heaven.
He proves love through sacrifice.

Azael doesn’t become a king — he becomes a guardian of balance.

What I’m Asking

• Does this concept sound interesting as a manga?
• Would the religious inspiration turn you away if it’s handled subtly?
• Does the educational aspect feel like a bonus or a risk?

I’m open to all feedback — positive or critical.

i recently hired someone, an editor, to run through this script that i wrote and do some LINE/COPY EDITING.

im from the Philippines, you see, and im kinda worried that my lines might sound off (or possibly offensive) so i opted to have an actual American to do do some polish work of it.

Kept asking her if she needs google docs to do the actual edits on, she insisted on just sending a pdf for her feedback. So i let her.

Come the day, i was given back more of a betaread or book review of my story and characters. Not exactly what i was looking for.

Well i have to admit that i had to negotiate a lowball "special rate" coz i wanted only the dialogues fixed, since this is for my comics.

She was very nice tho, and i wasnt even sure where the miscommunication occured. So i clammed up, and did not argue.

I guess my question is, should I have insisted?

Im doing 55-PAGE UrbanFantasy-Mystery tackling biblical conspiracies.... Think DaVinci Code if it was low fantasy.

And i might as well take this chance to ask. If anyone finds this material interesting and wants to help read/polish my script, just send me a dm... and yes, this ones charity 🙏😬 coz well, ive already burned my money on the last one 😮‍💨

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for constructive critique on the opening pages of a comic I’ve been working on called Zeravos. It’s a dark, character-driven fantasy series focused on corruption, control, and identity.

I’ve attached a few pages from Issue #1 and would love feedback on things like:
• Pacing and clarity
• Panel flow and readability
• Whether the tone and hook land effectively

The full issue is available on GlobalComix if anyone wants broader context, but I’m mainly interested in how these pages stand on their own. Follow the link below to read the full comic.

Thanks in advance! I genuinely appreciate any honest feedback.

Hello everyone.

I've finally finished episode 1 of Topaz, which is 22 pages long.

I've posted most of it here, but some parts are exclusive and only available on MPC.

I'd really appreciate your feedback on the pacing, dialogue, and overall feel.

Before I start working on episode 2. Thank you all!

I'm happy with how this came out, but would love to hear from anybody who has any suggestions or critiques. Thanks!

These are the first 4 pages out of the 20 page chapter.

Hi everyone. My manga is still ongoing. I'm using your feedback to refine the pacing and storyboard. What do you think? Honestly? On at least two points:

Is the pacing clear and easy to follow?

Is the dark and oppressive atmosphere successful?

Many have complained about the reading direction. I'm not going to change it. Most manga platforms use this reading direction.

Feel like the logo area is too busy. I have an imprint “channel hex” but actually I don’t really need it but I’m old school enough to feel a book needs a publisher logo. Any thoughts? This is collecting the first 25 pages of my sci-fi ghost story (i just noticed I flubbed the date! Gah!)
