Ah, but they have Sergeant Leon Colpitts in charge of them! Heh. Yeah, thanks for the information Blitz. I was kinda stumbling wildly in the dark for a decent plot device, and i thought that that kinda thing would work. Maybe you could gimme a few more tips if i ask you in future, cuz i kinda need to know what the hell it is I'm going on about. XD
Alright, Mr. RJ. You are a rare thing here on FA-- you actually have a cohesive story that goes beyond two pages of work. I have to say, its rare, and I'm here to help make sure it keeps going.
Stumbled upon this comic while browsing the work here on FA. Kind of glad I found it. At first, I thought it was another crappy wanna-be-war-comic, but, after just a few panels, I realized I was completely wrong. The plot is refreshingly simple and well-explained, the characters, while a bit trite (I think I caught that the fox is from "Fox" squad), show a lot of unique personality, and while your work is still very novice, you seem to have a good grasp of what makes a comic page interesting. Your page composition, pacing, and use of varying panel dimensions do well to tell the story the way it must appear in your head, not just the way a comic-by-numbers book or website would have you do it.
So, on to the real critique of your work thus far.
Actually, after going back TRYING to find stuff wrong with your comic, there's surprisingly little. The most obvious advice is to "keep practicing" your drawing so that you can tighten up your style (my advice? Go practice realism then return to comic work). But, the page layouts alone make me feel that you are fast on your way to being a great comic artist. The characters are expressive enough that their motivations and emotions are clear, but not so much as to be hokey, which is probably my favorite part of your comic thus far.
I hope this project isn't dead (I see its been months since your last update), and I'm looking forward to more. If you'd like some advice on specific things here and there (like the end of page four and start of page five... the whole scene with the sniper is a bit weak), hit me up.

Wow, I don't think I've ever recieved such a perfect review on my work. The amount of advice and support is astonishing, and I really can't say anything more than a huge thank you!
I'm very glad you like it, and would really appreciate any and all further advice you can give me. And don't worry, the project isn't quite dead. It's just taking a small break
Thank you very much again, Chilovek, and keep in touch!
