Hmm well. The art is certainly good.
There's under 20 pages in this one and the story isn't delevoping particularly fast, so it's hard to judge that. In any case the last few comics seem hard to follow - it's not clear what's going on.
Unfortunately with so little to go on, that's about all I can say other than this comic certainly has potential.

The proportions of the characters and inanimate objects are pretty darn spiffy, especially the design of the helicopter http://www.drunkduck.com/TFoE/index.php?p=21006
However, the story still seems to be getting off its feet at the moment... so I can't really comment on that, it's not quite evident yet what is going on.
Just a comment on the site design though... I personally find it makes the comic quite hard to read, all that background noise with the site's wallpaper is very distracting (though admittedly as a stand-alone pic it would be pretty cool!)
Otherwise keep it up dude, get some more comics going :-D

Remember the good ol' days, when it would take a week to do ONE comic?

I do, though I think this may actually be better.
As for this comic, huh. The author clearly states that it's an "experimental" comic, which I guess explains the mininmalist artwork. I actually rather like the style, in how some of the pages have only angular lines, which creates a rather neat effect.
But at the same time, the art ticks me off. I can tell that you are a good artist, but you're hiding your art under this layer of "experimental". The comic would look so much better if you put a little more effort into the art, an maybe didn't have every "panel" trail off into the void. Thos city shots where nice! Why don't you do that all the time? It just looks to me like this astounding lack of effort from someone who can actually draw well. So you know, do it to the best of your ability.
The writing is... eh. First of all, there's only a handful of comics, so I have almost nothing to go off of. Secondly, the comic is riddled with typos. STOP MISSPELLING MAYBE. Please. And use apostrophes. In a comic that relys heavily on the text to pull it along, you really need to make sure it's perfect. The opening monolouge isn't very gripping. I can see you're trying to be clever, but I don't know. The emo bits are kind of a turn off for me, but I'm sure other people will like them.
So uh, there's not a lot of comic here. Also, why would a chapter be only seven pages long? Why?
So nope. I don't like it. Sorry.

my first review
first to all
story.- i cant say anything about the story because there isnt much he guy just wake up and the city empty then in chapter 2 a lot of soldiers
art.-ok experimental art , thats ok , but it look so simple in some pages , minimalistic its ok done rigth but here looks the work lazy and decide to work in your fonts its hand written or computer not both
web design i cant read the comments
thats my two cents
EDIT: You really need to do something about that background. It's painful on the eyes and makes it impossible to read the author's notes and comments. Perhaps just make the tables non transparent?

Woah what? We moved on to another comic while I was busy filling out worksheets and learning how to do quadratic equations?! Anyway, by signing up for a review you are entitled to one by me, so hereI go.
First off, why is the background of you page so damn busy? It's like..full of stuff. For a comic so lacking in detail this just doesn't go with it. It also maks it almost impossible to read the authors notes. I think for this comic a simple layout would work much better.
I'm a fan of knowing where characters are. I like backgrounds, even if they're not great, just so I know that Mr. Such-and-Such hasn't stumbled upon the white void of nothing-ness. You do manage to keep the reader somewhat in the know about where characters are, but not enough. And yeah, I know this is 'experimental' but still...backgrounds are good.
Your character hasn't done much. Basically he's whined about how his life sucks, how he can't find his cell phone, and how he's bored. And then there's a helicopter and people are getting out of it...
Do I like it? I think it shows promise. However you should concentrate more on the spelling. I picked out a few errors which I think Eggbert covered in his review.

Word to the wise, Wonderful Night by Fatboy Slim is not an Ideal song to be listening to while reading The Flow of Emotion. Just don`t do that.
Changing songs. Now. Yes. The Flow of Emotion is emo. It`s not anything eles, it`s emo. (understand why listening to any of Fatboy Slim`s songs is a bad idea?) Now as much as I hate stories with self-loathing, this one captured my attention. In all it`s short. Since it`s just starting.
Now for the story, well. There`s not enough comics to a describe what`s happening, but you can sense it. The dialouge moves every well. A bit of emo, a bit of hope, it`s not so much emo to the point where you want to just say to the person, stop loathing yourself. No, it`s somewhere in between. Now, a comic like this, these are very hard to make, despite the fact that there`s so little (I should know) since you have to rely on good placement of the words and panels. Like the "Get Out" page, even though there was so little, the text placement made it work.
Now the art, well. It`s sketchy, emotional made it his own style and it works, good for him. There`s the fine line where showing you what you need to know, and showing to much. There are backgrounds where you need them, and there not there when you don`t need them. It`s a nice balance. Though, I can`t help but get the feeling that it was a bit rushed.
