WOW. This turned out so great! Panel 1 with the sign just blows me away. It's got such great design and perfectly establishes a realistic setting. Great pacing in the entire page, it has a really nice, quiet, brooding feel. Awesome work!

Hey i think it looks pretty good man, i like the style of it too. I would definitely suggest that you put at least an outline of robins head in that second panel (parking lot panel) just to kinda sell the fact that he's observing it. THese are pretty dope though man, i like em. I dont know what they'll say about you offering the full package though. You know sometimes they get all "well, what do you want to do, draw, color, ink, pick one" but i think its pretty dope.

The parking lot looks like one of those pixel-towns or something. Not quite dynamic enough.

1st off, wow! This is amazing!!
But, since it's a sample, I'll give you my thoughts upon looking at it...
The first panel/image (Robin on the roof, on left side of page), that is just awesome, but to me, stopping the image where you do, feels too design driven and leaves lots of dead space on the page, when extending the purple of the building would probably fill out the page and look better, if it continued all the way across, or most the way (I know that causes problems for the last panel though)...
Then the third panel, the close shot of Robin? Maybe it's your style (but we don't have any other context of close face work to see here), but his chin seems to reallyyyy cut in... making me think the grey is supposed to be something superimposed over where the bottom of his face would be, but it's the background color, so I know it's not. I mean it's as if he has no lips or mouth.
The only reason I say anything, is, man, that's amazing work, but those two things take me out of it...
But that's me
But wow, you've got skills!
