Very interesting flip for both characters. Jan now advocating for The Mask and Evelyn trying to get rid of it. I guess Jan just thinks Evelyn is simply the wrong hands to put this power into. Or maybe Jan just can't handle Eve. I wonder how Evelyn will come to terms with Jan being two faced in regards to The Mask.

I'm also curious how Evelyn feels about Stanley and his own relationship with The Mask. If it's such a menace to her that she'd get rid of it but at the same time it's a savior for Stanley, maybe that'll throw the proverbial wrench into theirΒ  relationship. Maybe they'll bond over their shared expiriences inside The Mask. Maybe Evelyn even thinks she's doing him a favor.

I dont know. You certainly have me guessing as your story seems to be entering into a new arch. I can say we're trying our best to be
anxiously patient but it seems like something big is going to happen to the characters and possibly the city at the coco-bongo. Can't wait for my next weekly dose. The story is slowly building excellently.Β

I'm actually pleasantly surprised from the comments so far that Evelyn's decision to rid herself of the Mask was not uncharacteristic!

I initially expected backlash from people who wanted Eve constantly in the story. Of course, Jan could be speaking on behalf of the readership so there may be no need to speak up. But here, we see Jan's pragmatism too. She cares for Evelyn. But unlike her ward, Jan also understands what the Mask has done for the city. This conflict will go into further detail as the pages come along.

As of this moment, only Evelyn truly understands the burden of the Mask. The desire for Evelyn to share her experiences with a fellow Mask-wearer is something you share with a handful of other readers who have messaged me behind the scenes. You can all be assured that this will be explored further down the line. Not soon. Definitely not soon. But it's in the plans

It will be interesting to see Eve's friend square away the contradiction between her hating it when her friend wears the Mask and also not simply wanting the Mask to disappear. Good artwork. I'm curious if this driver is going to be a recurring character.

I'm glad you pointed this out! Yes. Jan has grown quite aware of the role the Mask used to play in the city. So much so that she knows that locking the artifact away would be quite premature. So she's setting things up too.

Plans on top of plans.

It's been a joy seeing how much you have improved artistically since you started this comic. It started out strong, with you clearly having a clear idea of how you wanted panels framed and how angles adds to the subtext. And as your grasp on anatomy has been refined and you're getting closer and closer to the sweet spot in your style, it has made the comic more and more of a joy to read. Β 

All of this leads into a strong narrative frame that you're clearly doing a lot of work on to make right for a character driven story like this. The mystery is highly appealing, and the characters generally feel grounded.Β 

As always, I'm looking forward to more. Keep up the good work, and keep learning.

My thanks The only troubling thing I can't work around yet is the fact that the story isn't updated as often as I'd like. I've paced the story properly but only if you were reading the pages one after another. In physical form, these two gals should have reached the Coco Bongo by now but if I stick to this schedule, that's still a while away. Hopefully the story's interesting enough despite this limitation.

Keep reading and look out for more
