Description
Horribly delayed, attaching an apology to this page hardly seems appropriate. I really dropped the ball on getting this out in a timely fashion, folks, and I'm sorry. I won't waste time making excuses, but I hope you guys can forgive me for such a long hiatus.As usual, please let me know what your favorite panel is, what your least favorite panel is, and what your favorite dialogue is.

A somewhat quiet, yet informative sequence. I really like hearing a little backstory or two!

Panel 3 has to be my favorite. I see no problems with any of the panels. I also manage to fine the idea of "Flower Power" absurdly amusing. Why is beyond me.

Dr. Possibly? Is that really his name?
Panel 1. A nice easy downshot panel to show the man sitting and aquamarine standing at the same time. Good detail in the background as well. I thin your coloring needs to take a step up in some way though. Mine does too. I've been reading a book on comic book coloring. One way to make the characters pop off the page is to make the colors in the background more complex and less primary, another is to give your characters a thicker outline stroke if they are closest to the camera (I do this, it can be subtle or exaggerated but I think you should give it a try). Another is to fade the background colors slightly. I think your coloring is the next thing you should work on. Just a thought.
Panel 2. A decent head shot to get the story going. Good expressions too but could have been more dynamic by continuing the downshot approach and making it a tighter closeup.
Panel 3. My favorite panel because your backgrounds and perspective kick ass and I'm very jealous of your ability in that regard. I also love the diversity of species you placed in this one. Awesome, professional quality work here.
Panel 4. Not bad but we could have done this as an upshot of the people on the podium and still showed the banner maybe? Maybe not. We had a lot of dialogue to get to as well.
Panel 5. Not a bad head shot but you and I both have got to challenge ourselves to do more than these straight on head shots. An upshot here would show the man's position of importance in this meeting. I'm sure there are other options but I must admit they don't come to me when I'm working on the comic myself.
Story: Setting up more of the intrigue here I see. There is quite a bit of set up to this one but the girls are spies to gathering info is one of their main functions. I can see the ends beginning to meet though. Looking forward to the next page.

Indeed... out of all my faults, coloring is the one that bothers me the most. I don't know where to start building up a more painterly skill level or how to choose colors properly, and it shows. I'm glad you enjoyed the overall feel of the page, though- it makes me feel good to be in touch again.
I'll also admit that this page doesn't showcase anything really new, but what's there, I think, continues to build off of prior pages somewhat. Still, I'll try to take your word and see what I can do about making the next page more dynamic.

Woo hoo! You're alive! That's great!
Another fine comic, too. Favorite panel would have to be the conference one, yeah.
Least favorite...? Well, if I *had* to pick, I'd say the last one, just because Dr. Possibly looks like he could be either smiling humbly or smiling evilly. Hard to see where his eyebrows are.
But aside from that hyper nitpick, everything else is golden. Great to see you at work again!

I agree about the conference panel, there are a lot of characters and many different species shown. Plus, it looks quite clean (as in, not sketchy and such). The banners look great, too. I'd also add that the final panel with Dr. Possibly looks nice, too. I really like how the shading turned out there as well as his expression of simple contentment.
As for least favorite.... hmm.... I guess the second, though I can't really see anything directly wrong with it. I guess because there isn't as much shown as the others, but ya gotta admit its hard to pack everything into every panel, heh.
The dialogue all sounds nice; it's not as cluttered or confusing as we were afraid it might be, and has just enough big words to validate the genius-speak necessary to denote the proper characters featured.
Swell job, and great to see yer back ^_^

Nice to see this comic updating again! I'd have to say my favorite panel is the big audotorium for the flower power conferance. Must've taken a lot of patience to go through and do each person sitting there. Least favorite? I guess the last panel, albiet reluctantly because I think it looks great all around. As for favorite diolouge, in the first panel. Anything that uses finagled is great in my book.
