holy.

fucking.

shit.

talk about a twist oh my GOD, Jim as bandit leader was the last last LAST thing i was expecting i literally had to stop reading for a second. This seems to be a good place to leave my first proper comment for WoA which has been freaking AWESOME so far CJ. I should be doin homework right now but you got me reading.

Okay. You're writing has improved so much from the first issues, it's been so awesome to read all your dialogue, descriptions, characterization get more complex in the span of just 30 issues. Throughout that entire time DAVID FUCKIN' A has remained an awesome protag who, as others have pointed out before, gets char development every freakin' issue, that is an amazing feat CJ. David really carries this story so the focus you've given him has really paid off. That antihero categ you got on his page scares me but so far I think David has been a real hero. He's messed up and make tough decisions that have gotten people hurt but he is a good guy at heart (for now at least). That moment where he was going to help Sid really sticks out in my mind. I remember thinking "fuck Sid, leave him behind" and actually got kind of frustrated that David was so adamant about saving him. But that's just the kind of guy David is.

Then our deuter, Teresa <3 Teresa has become my favorite character after recent events (David is a close second <3). She started off as your run of the mill "protag love interest" but she has evolved into sooooooooo much more. The way she stands by David's side but isn't afraid to challenge him either, she's really come into her own as an independent character. I wasn't a fan of Amber tbh but I like how you've used her death to contribute to Teresa cd. Teresa has become a lot harsher since her death, and you've conveyed Teresa's regret regarding she and Amber's relationship very well. Then to add to that, Amber's death has also created dat tension between David/Teresa. Honestly, you have handled that rift in David/Teresa's relationship SO well. Like, you didn't go the route of Teresa whining and blaming him but this is SUCH a difficult and complicated situation, I can understand why she'd want to keep her distance from him even if she doesn't blame him. This is some complex cd right there CJ, I applaud you af.

Then we got my boy Chris. It might be unfair of me to say, but I think David and Teresa overshadow him greatly at this point. Not to say he's a good character -- I think he has the most potential out of any of the characters you have right now. He has done some fucked up shit omg and I can't wait to see how that affects him in the future.

LEO <3 Leo is so awesome. He's the most obviously flawed char (he srsly needs a chill pill). That rage doe. It's intense. But he's such a ba leader, does what needs to be done, but he's also a family man. His goodbye to penny omg </3 that got to me tbh. (i accidentally got spoiled about what happens to penny too soo... :[). His volatile personality makes for some good group conflict. I think Leo also has a lot of potential as a char, his anger shtick can only go so far, so I'm excited to see what u do with him (don't kill him ty).

The last char I'm gonna touch on is Riley. She was underwhelming to me for a while, but she's gotten some spotlight recently. I'm glad you've been utilizing her as more than the action chick -- I was afraid she'd completely succumb to that trope, but it looks like you're provin me wrong CJ :)

NOW THIS PLOT WOW

k so WoA started as the run-of-the-mill zomb apocalypse story but has since evolved into the something so unique. I know you said you're going to be implementing magical elements, which is AWESOME. This mystery with David, and the dreams, and the flashbacks -- you do a perfect job of dropping just a few bits of the mystery here and there to keep us wanting more, and you dont drown us with it. I seriously can't wait to see where all this is going.

Then you've got the bandit plot. Again, it's been done before, nothing wrong with dat. Everything unfolded perfectly, we got some awesome bandits vs group action scenes, ghey ben dover and then YOU DROPPED THE BOMB

JIM IS BANDIT LEADER? WHAT. that might be the best plot twist on wiki, it's rare that my jaw actually DROPS dude omg (clapping emoji)

I think Danny's said it before but you're action scenes are top notch AF. you are a master at creating tension, and you're very consistent with your action scenes. Most chapters I know I can expect some very well-crafted action :D :D

k i think i fanboyed enough. Amazing Part One CJ, I am super impressed. I'm almost caught up, so excited to see what happens next :D
