Make black black! If you're going to the trouble to make this, make it look nice! (I feel your pain though...my comic has lots of black...then it has color! It takes a while, but looks better for it) Also, use a ruler to ink your lines, and make double lines with white spaces in between  each panel. (there will be less black to color that way :) ) Also, if you don't already you should ink your work, it will look better.
Hmmmm...intresting, what's going to happen next? This is pretty fun to read!

lol, I understand how hard it is to black or shade everything. It's okay. ^^;

YAY this is getting so very interesting!! And I love that side-profile there in the last panel. Ooooooh pretty. :O

Keep it up~!! YAY super-crunchy action!
