Description Page 2 of Little Victory: Chimera.

When I write my scripts, I'll often find a piece of music that fits the scene, and listen to it when I'm drawing.
The sweeping, plucky but kinda lonely title tune to the Serenity film was what I had playing in the background for Vicky's approach to San Francisco.

...Well I lived within driving distance by minutes anyway...

Oh, Modesto grew so quickly in the past few years. The peaceful orchards that provided quiet open spaces have been replaced with business and city-ness...

Grrrrh. Great comic but it just bothers me that the exit sign for Sacramento shouldn't appear in that area. Sacramento is too far from... I'm gonna guess Alameda.

Cool . Takes place in my home area XD. Of course she probably should come to the east bay, she'll have a LOT of crime to fight XD. J/k, the east isnt as bad as it sounds .

Although, the critic in me must say that in panel 4 the outlay of the bay is a bit off, particularly the under-drawn Bay Bridge, and the absence of the half finished "Emperor Norton Bridge".

Dont get me wrong, Im happy with your addition of the Alameda Island though .

PS: Have you ever been out here =o? If not comeby some time .

Oh hey no problem . Its still very good. The concept alone is one of a kind. How often do you see British comics based in the SF Bay Area? NEVER XD!

Oh no! A teachers...er, I mean evil doer, is posing as as my teacher and giving me bad grades! Help Victory girl =O! Ok, that was kinda lame but still >.>, might get her to come ?

I like the way how she doesn't fly with any concern for aerodynamics. It's a nice way to show that she isn' depending on something like rocket boots or another form of thrust that moves through the axis of her body.

To be honest, music is by and large what inspires me to write. If I can't hear a particular song or type of music going with the scene, then my heary's not in it and I don't write it. I blame anime and video games, where music is ever-present.

Really? I liked the movie Serenity, but I haven't seen it in awhile. Long enough ago for me to forget the music to it.

I need to watch Firefly too, now that I think about it.

Maybe it's because I don't read that much comics any more, but I do not think I've ever seen that many details that humanized a super hero character in a single page.
A page with so little dialog, no the less.
