Matka (click here to read the comic~)
Matka is my already over 1.5 years old comic project (or actually even older, but this versio of it is that old). It's a Fantasy comic about this group of characters who end up travelling around together.

At this moment it is updating 5 pages in day until it reaches where the comic is at this point. After that It'll start updating with my normal updating speed (I usually try to do atleast one page in a week)

I'd appriciate if you'd take a look at it ^^'

I was quite frustrated while reading at the thief character.
It seemed to make no sense for the other characters to bring him along.
Frankly, it was a stretch to understand why they were not trying to kill him!
Threatening to kill someone unless you are given money and then kidnapping her is far too serious to just be forgotten about two pages later.
I think you also need to proof read your text more, or better yet get someone else to read through it for you. Some of the sentence structure needs work, there are a few typos (and chapter 3 says chapter 2!) and as I mentioned in my comments, you should avoid the modern American teenager phrases "Whatever and stuff".
Do you want more feedback? I don't want to over load you with suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback. ^^
Yeah, the plot does have some big weak points, I created the plot for this comic over 2 years ago and I was smaller and stupider back then. And the plot isn't completely solid at this moment, It keps changing little bit almost all the time. I do think that scene was one of those that even I thought that they made no sense, but I had no time or ideas how to change that so I was just like "Screw this I'll just draw that with that way how it was in the old idea x_X"
The wrong chapter thing was that I accidently had put chapter 2 insteas of 3 and relised it later and made another file with it right number, But I forgot to delete that file with wrong number and now when I started uploading this in here I uploaded the wrong file since I didn't remember that it had wrong number.
I do this comic at first in Finnish and after that I translate it into English. And well, My English skills aren't that great, only what I've learned in school. That's the reason for the wonky sentence structure (and Sometimes I end up using some Finnish phrases that have no good english translation).
I'll try to get someone to proof read my comic.

Ah, well if English is your second language then well done!
You write comics in English far better then I do in Finnish!
Get someone who is more fluent to help you out if you can (maybe people in the Drunk Duck community can help you).
Remember that you can edit pages that have already been placed and replace them with newer versions with different picks or changed text etc.
At one point I replaced the first 5 pages of my comic to make the colours better!

Noneko,
Cool comic (alliteration, ha ha!). It's great that you've created a whole world for your characters. I'd like to draw a fantasy comic sometime, but I'm not sure how I would make the characters look...
