RE: The Stellar Wild - Chapter 2
This is a great follow-up! The pacing was mostly kept, and the dynamic between Cole and Ed is very fascinating. I like how, even though the series has a sci-fi setting, the issues they face are really grounded in real-life problems. It gives the reader a sense that no matter where they are in the universe, they would feel right at home. Sci-fi stories have a tendency to alienate (pun intended) readers especially when it comes to high science concepts, so I'm glad this series doesn't seem to fall into that trap.
When me and my friend Anthony came up with these characters, we had it in mind to turn this into a scifi epic of a graphic novel, but one thing I wanted to focus on was the characters. I like to joke about how people get into this belief about government bureaucrats being benevolent superhumans, but the same is true for protagonists in a story. People have to make a living, and they live. They're not always saving the galaxy or something else every single day.
There is going to be some crazy science-fictiony stuff down the road, though lol
