But it clearly is supposed to be a good story with likeable characters that you can care about, which it mostly fails at. She's already disclosed most or all of the characters that will appear and some of the events that will happen, so that takes a lot of the tension and interest out; the world-building is awful (we don't even know what people think of the supernatural - Hanna presumably advertises that he deals with the supernatural and the zombie just walks around looking like a zombie, but there seems to be an underground community of supernaturals so are they unknown or just disliked or what?) Nobody has ever tried to say the art is bad, to my knowledge, but you can't say the WRITING is good because the art/layout/typography is good...

zombie does have to pretend he's not a zombie - says he's in a band or something. and they mention that hanna seems to attract supes in an unusual way.

but i still agree that the world is underdeveloped - the only "not a supe or in the service of/against supes" character we've met is the liquor store kid (i don't think the bartender really counts...)

I take the comic as it is and I don't follow her artblog or wherever it is that these disclosures are being made. I really don't see how [thing extraneous to the text] affects [the text] itself; in this case, how something that happens away from the comic (spoilers for future events) can affect the comic itself, taken as it is.

Agreed re: world-building. But I think that visual storytelling is given really short shrift. If, say, a webcomic had an amazing plot but the artist simply couldn't convey an action sequence in a coherent manner - because of panelling issues, not just art style - then I think that counts as poor comic writing. It's like having a novel with a great plot but awful prose.
