Description These are the next two pages of Diamonds
I think this'll be it for the time being. I might do another spread a little later, since some publishers require a few more pages in the pitch packages, but I like the way this page hints at more, but brings the opening cycle of the 'growing up' to a close.
Again, critiques encouraged! Let me know what works and what doesn't.

hahaha is that girl sitting in her seat. I see phsycopath mode of rage around the corner. This is great stuff. I had a little trouble recognising which panel was after the first panel on the 6th page, maybe try to give the panels a more directional flow or hint to what panel is next... or maybe im just saying this to compensate for the fact Im to thick to read a comic... Anyhow good luck with this project you got going

Hahaha! Yeah, her 'special spot' has been occupied. I'm glad that came across! It was tricky to do.
I know what you mean about the order of the panels. I didn't correct it here because it doesn't really matter. The big panel on the left of the right page is more to say 'the stuff happens here!'. The only important thing is that you read the top left one first and the bottom right one last. However, if it interrupted you from your reading experience I really ought to sort it out. Comics should be readable by anyone imo.

the pages are really attention grabbing and make me want to read it

I can't really say anything on technical issues as everything looks really good. The glow on the text is working well.
I really like the panelling at the bottom of page 5 but I'm not too keen on it at the top of page 6. I'd like the vertical lines to be more parallel but that is an issue of personal taste really.

Actually just spotted that on the cafe door in the view of the street there is no "push" sign under "enter" but there is in the close of shot of the door being opened. Just a continuity thing there.

Thanks for pointing that out! I added the push sign in later and forgot about that panel. I might try a new arrangement of the panels you mentioned too actually. I like both aesthetics, but I'm not sure if they mix properly.
