This is excellent! You managed to establish an early banter between the main characters (a fun one too), during an intense action scene. All the while maintaining the high quality art and paneling.
it's gonna great to have a new chapter to look forward every month.
Another good chapter. The motion lines remain superb as always. I expected the deuteragonist to be a lot gruffer and stoic from his design, rather than the jolly and affable dude he actually is.
