read through the new pages twice (second time to rate them all). got a couple of comments, both good and bad.
1. Once again, your artwork is stunning, Cent... night and day compared to the old pages.
2. I have mixed feelings about the change in content. On one hand, the friendship between Maxus and Julia on the new pages doesn't really show through like it did on the original (I especially loved the page when she ordered him out and her to the shower, NOW... and both their jaws dropped over it). On the other hand, I really like Cassie, the assistant, in the new pages... It's like she gives Julia's Neurosis a stable counter-balance professionally
Data Chasers is probably my favorite webstrip by a mile, and I'm actually sweating bullets by saying anything negative about it. but one thing I would like to see as the rebooted pages continue is something that shows how solid Julia and Maxus are, like it did in the other sequence.
My two cents, and you can tell me how horrible a person I am now....
its ok to be a bit negative I thought we had still kept that " vibe " after all look at the exchange between them. We are trying our best to keep the original feel of the old pages but cut out stupid plot holes and be more true to the way Roma SHOULD feel. especially as we introduce " main cast members and supporting ones. with feed back we can make it better. Without feed back we just do what we feel is best. the last thing we want to do is let our readers down. Thank you for being honest.
Oh, one other thing, as my humble input on the upcoming sequence as you do it...
I've always been so-so about the gratuitous fan service nudity, as in most cases it doesn't really add anything to the story. The upcoming sequence is an exception to that IMHO, and it would actually detract from the story if the new model Dolly wasn't shown as a nude, at least while it's still an empty shell.
I don't know, for the way she talks to a person in such high authority as Maxus, they seem to have a fluid and well developed rapport that goes way beyond one department functionary speaking to another.
From what you see of Maxus so far, (and further on, if that isn't a spoiler) anyone else would have had their ass thoroughly chewed then very literally handed to them if they spoke to him like that.
Especially no ripping off Julia's skin !
We *could* use a few eggs though, as I have a hankering for an omelet. :)
