these are a bit old now. I've given up on the whole Marvel/DC thing, not really my bag. So just doing my own thing now.
How's your world going?

circumstantially..: eh.
but emotionally I'm good.
left PJ for good.
so I'll likely be more active here.
Given your thoughts on those pages I think you might be interested in what I proposed in a note I just sent you.
So how're things going with the you?

I believe this is what we refer to as "mad skillz yo".
So if I read this correctly (and that's the best test of visual storytelling):
Establishing shot: mall.
A viking and a gal with a sexy pout are agitatedly discussing something.
A dude runs into frame.
He's got Aladin's lamp...
A security guard is chasing him...
The viking kid punches the Djinn.
A helicopter drops rapellers.
Blue stuff.
I've got no complaints with your story telling or reendering at all. In fact I love the way your style straddles the line of cartoony and serious. And I'd like the pouty chick's phone number.
Who grabs the guard throws him...
Except sexy pouting girl magically summons a mattress to catch the guard...
no wait... the security guard is probably running from the TWENTY FOOD DJINN!!!

hah, thanks man. I think you got it all. The characters are actually from a Marvel book called The Runaways. The pouty girl is a witch who can summon a staff out of her body when she bleeds.
Yeah, I feel like I've been straddling between cartoony and superhero-y. I lean more towards cartoony, but felt like I had to draw superhero-y to get hired. but I had an attitude adjustment and decided to do my own stuff, so not trying to worry about how I should draw and focus more on how I want to draw.
Thanks for checking my stuff out.

Thanks. But these were just samples. I think I already cut up the last page for scraps.

I waited to critique so I could get Mark's comments out of my head, so here I go.
Overall, the pages look pretty solid. Your structures look awesome, very solid and believable. The characters are in good shape, although I do think that Nico looks rather normally dressed. Her look shifts over the series, varying from really over-the-top gothy to just kinda "dark", but I feel like her uniqueness is gone here. She looks like she could be Any Teen rather than Nico Minoru.
I also couldn't tell how Nico was able to summon the Staff of One. The page looks pretty small since it has to fit in with all the rest, so maybe the detail is there and I just can't see it, but Nico has to be bleeding to summon the staff. Unless she's on the rag, which dialouge would make clear, but I dunno. Just checking. ; )
Chase looks good, no problems there, and I like that we can see Xavin shifting into Battle-mode in the last page. Molly feels a little long?, but she's in proportion when anyone comes into view, so that's solid.
Otherwise I love 'em. Wish I had a big printer so I try my hand at inking them.

That would be awesome sir, thanks. 3 and 4 to start with, if you don't mind - lots of interesting visuals and characters on those pages.
I know you'll get there on the pages though, just gotta keep pushing. I'm confident you'll get there - and hell, a pro already likes your work, so you can't be too far off!

Oh, who was it...I think it was one of the guys from Udon who said that when they had trouble designing some sort of mechanical ship or whatever that they would sketch an appliance - a toaster or a vaccuum - and just sci-fi it up.

Lookin' good. I particularly like the establishing shots on the first page. I agree with the notion that your perspective looks awesome. There's something in the cartoonish nature of your characters that almost has a Sam Kieth quality (in spots) without being derivative that I like.
My only quip is page 4 panel 1, while I like the figure placement the big guy seems kind of flat, cardboard cutoutish or maybe a tad skewed? I'm not sure what it is exactly.
I think you should fill in page 6 if you've all ready have it thumbed. I know 5 is the norm but doing that sixth page could should the extra effort to editors. Plus it has some nice action happening in it and it'd be a shame to see it go to waste.

Thanks man. Yeah, I was pretty into the first volumes of the runaways, I haven't kept up with it though.
