The last two panels are very well done. I've been wondering how to convey rapidly changing emotions in comics myself and this is such a good reference.

Nice pacing on this page. You can feel the loneliness. :(

Eve's hairdo/costume rocks my socks off. Man. Girls get all the awesome outfits.

Also once I tried opening a coconut with a plastic fork and some friends. There's like all these fucking layers in it. I didn't know anything about coconuts when I got it, also I was in high school. It took like forever. Multiple plastic forks, also. But when we finally got to the spherical magical incredibly tough center and smashed it against a wall to open it, I was like. Fuck yeah. Wrecked that goddamn coconut. Then we ate it.

This the joy I hope happens to Eve and Will.

As a comic artist myself, I imagine this page must have been super rewarding to finish drawing. All those fucking LINES.

Not "break" necessarily. After a couple re-readings I do see now the point pretty much everyone is throwing at me, how people behave in ways that seem the opposite of how they feel. I know people do this stuff to stay sane; didn't click with me at first.

I was trying to critique more the writing as opposed to the believability of the characters' actions (again, both of which I'm typically a big fan of); it seemed very rushed. I expected more of a dialogue between the two as opposed to "here's this mattress, yeah life is bullshitty sometimes, haha ok end." I don't expect this to be the end of this subject entirely, but as to how the arc wrapped up, eh it was just a bit quick for my taste is all.

Speaking for myself, some people are capable of crying for days.

Hanna did get over this rather fast. I know everyone's different, but my relationship of 2+ years was fucking devastating; Hanna was INCREDIBLY upset just a few pages ago, and now she's fine? I really liked how the story was going ever since the cracks started appearing, but I find this page overly zany (obviously self-aware), and it seems afraid to go deeper and so it just sillies itself back into relative normality. I thought this arc was fucking masterful but this last page let me down. Not that it'll stop me from reading onward or anything.

That was a pretty good blunt.

I'm going through/getting over a breakup of similar magnitude of Hanna/Marek's, and the behaviors of every character feel extra real because I've noticed them all appearing in my life. I'm the extrovert-turned-recluse Hanna, with my personal talents similarly dominating my life as a void-filler. Like with Mar, I've yelled at and isolated some people out of anger, sadness, even envy at their better mood. The ones I haven't, still care but are mostly confused and as a result feel distant, as I imagine of Eve.

This comic has guided me through a lot of the sentiments of change I've been feeling recently, as someone just finishing college as well. If nothing else, it's cathartic.

Those pesky emotions make us do silly things sometimes.
