I'm not loving this page. There's too much going on, and it's just confusing. Plus besides Biscuit, the central focus is on that woman's butt. Was that really necessary? And what happened to the huzzah guy? Did he not feel like participating in the jumble of bodies?

Action scenes. Likely even stretched to compensate for the computer issues...

I don't really like action scenes in comics, they do nothing for the story, and usually it's a lot of guessing what's going on.
I understand the need for them, since the fight does happen, but.... Definitely not a one-panel-page ...

This is only half of the problem and I mean it absolutely literally. This whole page is showing one half of a full battle panel. Next update will show the adjacent spot in this combat.

But even if we judge this panel alone the composition is awful, 50% of the area is empty. Even if some kind of shading was to be applied onto the background that still will be only some bushes and sky. What for? Did this really need to be one panel divided into two pages? Why not have just one wide panel as the top 1/3rd of this single page?

And this is not even for a significant event, its just some battle scene with unnamed randoms.

Awful choice.

I think it’s pretty fun and silly, taken on its own. It’s made annoying because it’ll be the only page for weeks, and because I know it was rushed to get it out last-minute at the end of October.

It’s kinda fun to see Biscuit absolutely slaughtering a bunch of goofy civilians defending their home(?). He was such a cool sympathetic guy when introduced, you forget he’s a monster who spent the last centuries getting repeatedly torn apart by demons. Not a good dude!

My opinion on Biscuit remains: He is deeply unsympathetic, violent and has a strange alien view on things. He don't give a flying F about loss. Soo... Why would I care about him, if he does not care about himself?

I don't really get why this situation is happening. They kind of happened upon a human settlement, and then the carnage began. Where are they going? Is the bridge the only reason they crossed at this place?
You won't sleep when you're dead either.
