Nina is the tale of a young girl who is unable to enter Heaven and turned away at the Gates Of Hell. Thus, she remains in the world of Purgatory, a world where law and order is the way and judgement is the responsibility of every citizen. This is the world of the Reapers, men and women whose sole purpose is to guide the dead to their final resting place and protect humanity from the dangers of divine intervention.
When Chaos erupts in Hell and Lucifer is killed by a demon named Ingus, the young girl becomes the Reapers only chance to restore order in the realm of fire.
Joined by the messenger of the realms, a child half angel named Cuan, and a the daughter of the Lightbringer Lucifer, Jenn, Nina Porter travels through the realm of Hell in hopes of cleansing the vile evil that is Ignus and restoring order to the rogue realm.

I think you have a very strong concept here, with a likable protagonist. The art though is kind of spotty. There are some good moments, but it's all pretty rough, pretty raw. Most shots are straight on, 2 point perspective which is fine, but boring. Not much in the way of any sort of backgrounds. I don't know what to say about the crooked pages. The lettering is fairly distracting, typesetting on the computer would really help out here. I'm on the fence about the dialogue; some of it reads great, other times, it reads very wooden.
I think the concept is enough for most to stick around, I really want to know more about Nina.

I like your artwork so far; you've got a nice style. But then again I'm partial to anime. And as already been said before, you've got a pretty sound concept. You give out a good feeling of "inbetween but not heaven" in your work, too. I'm kinda jealous of that.
I think the story would have opened better if instead of things being narrated to us, we could have seen the aftermath and effects of Lord Lucifer's demise. The dialogue could overall use a bit of work, too - it's a little on the unrealistic side.
Maybe seeing the girl wandering the streets of Purgatory, bitter at her inbetween state? Etc? I do realize this is a difference in storytelling styles, however... but aww.... I woulda have liked to see the battle! :-)

Akashik, the Battle of Angels (and maybe some others, who can say?) Be there or be rectangular.

Thats to both of you for your comments and suggestions. I will take them all into consideration. Once the story hits chapter 2 or 3 though, I will start using computer to add the type as Albone suggested. As for the crooked pages, the first 3 chapters were written last year and scanned directly from a notebook and I didn't use a rule at all to figure the panels when the story was originally starting. As for the battle between Lucifer and Ignus, stay tuned in Spearcarrier. Many good battles will follow.
Also, I will admit, I am horrible at angles and perspective lol. Though part of the thing with the majority of the shots being basic chest up veiws was in part to kind of get across that in Purgatory everything is very straight forward and ordered. Anyway..
Again! Thank you both so much for your input! Please keep reading, it will get better, I promise!
