looks f-ing amazing. I like the split face effect of pages 19 and 20. Considering we're dealing with a Mr. Janus I know that's not just some an interesting panel design.

Can't wait to see what's next.

Somebody didn't shut the copier cover, so we may not know if the past owner added any crayon notes in the side!

Say no to drugs kids!
Especially if they're life sapping Homunculi.

Now we've got the setup, I'm keen to see where you go from here.

Why are we both into old men and their "old man" issues?

As always, nicely done!
I don't need to hit you with my cane this week.

Beyond the rich, moody brushwork here, you've taken some familiar elements and reassembled them in a completely new and mysterious way, laying the foundation for a story unlike any I've seen before.

Multiple readings reveal the intricate layers of a well-thought-out storyline that exploits the unique language and mechanics of comics to its utmost. ULTRA-LAD presents a veritable assault of ideas. It's a story within a story (within another, probably), from the aged, "found object" motif of its presentation, to it's metaphoric commentary on the natural cycles of life and death (and the repercussions of resisting them), to the parasitic and destructive nature of obsession. Just barely out of the gate, ULTRA-LAD is already wrestling with some enormous topics, and you're juggling it all with finesse and precision.

Cav realized what I was thinking in such an eloquent way.

As of this episode, ULTRA-Lad!, is a story about the accountability of duality and the precious diamonds of time that escape you. I snuck a version of my own war with duality and time in FEAR, MY DEAR, but you're writing and drawing the bible.

And, even if there were no words in your comic, I am floored by your art work.

Vielen Dank!

Thank you very much, Thomas! I always appreciate your comments.
