I can almost taste the tension... touch the anger of Sheard and the aloof manners of Wade. It does seem different than your other pages, but not in a bad way.

The text bubbles look very professional. I adore the dark outline, the angular bubbles themselves, and everything.

Truly wondrous.

I sense the deep potential for angst that Sheard posesses. He always gets so UPTIGHT when they talk about the Art Gallery or the stars or whatever...
This page looks a bit odd in contrast to the ones prior. Wade's face is a bit odd, but I love Sheard's.

So now we see what Sheard feels about the stars...very cool. I don't care how long it takes for the comic to update - it's always worth it. :^)

The first panel looks lsightly awkward somehow. (Is Wade walking? Trying to do the splits? Mmmm....splits....) But other than that, it's funtastically delicious. I like Sheard. He hates the circly-star so much he's wearing one on his shirt! ooooh I'm deep. Or something. Anyway, your art is so amazing. It doesn't look hand-drawn. Well, it does, but it's so clean and pretty...

The style on this page looks slightly different from your other pages. But I really like the way you did the text bubbles. They're never in the way of anything, and how they look more connected to all the outside spaces than the actual pictures... I just love them. I like how one of Sheard's little quirks is introduced - how he smokes after a security check. And how he and Wade quarrel like The Odd Couple. Hahaha.

As usual, fantastic work.

hahah.. at first i thought it said "the stairs... they aren't that bad".

sheard) OMG THE STAIRS FUCKED U OVER, use the elevator!!

wade) shut up, i like stairs.

ah-aha 8 8 omg i'm so sorry. i love the second to last panel a lot, because like... the bg of it is black and it makes a nice picture with sheardface's coat and all.

the only "qualm" i have is that joe isn't in this page. i think you should have a special corner in each of these joe-less pages with a little joe to tide me over until he shows up in all his glory

no i'm not serious....or am i.

bold, simple, clean, great lines! I'd say I'm sounding repetetive in my praise, but then I'd really sound it...

I love the direction of movement in this page - the way you have bold lines taking the eye right, left, then right again. It's a fantastic device for guiding the reader though your page. The only thing I might point out is that while the speech baloons are perfectly placed fo the first two rows, when you get to the third row, they all of a sudden do a small up-turn at the end. So, while your eyes are guided easily to the first ballon (by the rail of the stairs) , then to the second (by the slope of his shoulder), then to the third and forth by the rail of the stairs again (see how it works even though you have them right to left instead of more covnentional left to right because of the thick line of the rail?), your eyes have a tendancy to slide off the page when you get to the third row... Of course, it still works fine, because you tend to notice that 5th baloon, but then as you read across the page to get to the last panel, your eyes have to do a little bunny hop to reach the last speech ballon, and it's harder to do, because you've already got those diagonal lines pushing you out of the page.

But that's all just the very vaguest of qualms (I do stuff like that all the time!!! Mostly because I know sometimes it's hard to fit both images and text together), and I only point it out since I know you're smart enough to know what I'm on about - if you haven't already noticed them yourself!

Asides from that, I want to point out how in love I am with the 5th and 6th panels! The close ups, and especially the cigarette smoke, blows me away! I love the way it curls out of the cigarette, especially the white cut-out in the 6th.

Once again, great page, Ninja
