That's it folks- the end of the first comic book. Now I have to draw the second issue!

No one really knows, ethics doesn't really allow us to test...
There's a phenomenon with Water called "Freeze Boil Pop", but that's over slow decompression (it has to do with the Pressure-Temperature Curves, since it takes less temperature at abnormally low pressures to boil water).
With violent decompression, though... it has been theorized what happens, with lungs and other things... not to mention blood vessels and mucus membranes...
I'm haunted by a short story I read as a freshman in college that delved into these things, not to mention an ethical choice of a man transporting medicine, with just enough fuel for one person to make it, but with a stowaway on board...
Still gives me chills... and one reason I don't want to go into space... giant pressure vessels in and of themselves are probably one of the biggest aeronautical miracles... let alone heat transfer.

You won't freeze in space because space isn't cold. There's nothing to transmit the heat away from your body. If anything, you'll likely overheat if you don't die of oxygen deprivation first.
Then again, you're right about ethics preventing us from testing it to find out what really happens... don't suppose we have a few serial killers we can spare?

Well it'd be an excruciating way to go either way since at a minimum you'd suffer the equivalent of the bends as the gases dissolved into your blood would bubble up throughout your tissues once air pressure went to zero. Whether you'd explode or not I think is more a question just from the aesthetic of whether or not you left an intact (relatively so) corpse afterwords since you aren't going to end up caring given the end result is the same. You'd think we could experiment with a few animals but too many PETA types around to complain even if it was a meat animal later served up for dinner.
From previous pages, it looked as if the damaged hatch was deliberately set on the outer hull. I don't think there was a gangway connection, but it's possible that we're seeing into the airlock itself. Why the crew would be in an airlock while under tow and particularly why anyone would be in an airlock before they suited up, I have no idea.
In "Space Cadet" (Heinlein), there was an incident where the inner hatch of an airlock got punched through while the outer hatch and all bulkhead hatches were open, killing all aboard. Could the inner hatch have been open for some reason? (Which still doesn't explain why the crew doing that were unsuited and didn't have bulkhead hatches closed.)
I suppose we'll have to wait for the next "issue" to find out for sure.

You always design hatches so they open against the pressure differential... That way, the outer door won't open unless the airlock is depressurized, and the inner door won't open unless the airlock has pressure...
It's possible someone was in the airlock when the hull was compromised, in which case the inner door would be held shut and the folks in the airlock trapped... If the damage was extensive enough to compromise the inner door, it could affect the adjoining compartment... If the Demeter still doesn't have power, it's possible the rest of the crew is in danger from life support being down...

From my days as a model railroader doing photography for a magazine, it was always stressed to have depth of view with multiple planes of interest. You need to lead you eye into the picture or page. Ideally you should be able to tell the story without any text at all.
Judging from the silhouettes they appear to have found the frozen and partially exploded remains of the crew. They might have been dead before, though, if the strange payload anomalies hithertoo mentioned have any bearing on the plot.
Why two or three were at the airlock and not behind pressure-doors is beyond me.

I'm curious as to what's going on back at the satellite/station they came from. I would think that the people who track the traffic to send out the tugs and stuff would have to have noticed something. Of course they might be having problems of their own right now.
Good story, keep it up
