The end of the first volume has finally arrived today, so I'm opening the option of CRIT now, so if you feel like critiquing it will be my pleasure to read your comments. From what were your favorite characters to what style you liked best. If you never read the comic there is a link below where there are summaries for the first four chapters, the art improved after that so it won't be harsh to your eyes to go through the archives. The second stand-alone volume will be online on Thursday, it's called Per Ardua.

Summaries and analysis of the story for those behind are in comixpedia(there's a link on the comic website), and character profiles and map are in the comic website.

For plot, the story takes place in a planet where fallen angels have fused with the earth, which consequently gives some of the human descendants the ability to control elements and others the curse to have an inhuman or demon-looking form but power beyond controlling an element. The main characters live in a time where there is a great war between these two groups, which are to embrace or perish to the unseen apocalyptic army rising from the East and a dark organization called the Nephilim whose purpose is to collect these spirits.
So please click the links to head to the comic, the banner is for another comic I just started, later.
