Drum Beat is a comic about a boy suckered into a school race. He goes along with it, even if some weird things start happening. For starters, two strangers show up who claim to be different aspects of himself. Second, classmates start plotting against him, and he's threatened with blackmail if he tries to win the race. On top of everything else, he has a somewhat eccentric friend named White, who experiments on him throughout the comic. As the story progresses, he understandably becomes more and more irritable with his circumstances. And thats just the beginning.

Before I read the rest of the description, I think what caught my eye was the name of the comic, so Drum Beat is interesting to say the least for a title. You have potential here for a very good story. I'm sure there will be some weird adventures in this. You don't wait to get into the story either. I can't tell if your intention is to have us jump right in and then the rest of the story circles around the race event, or if this could be a pacing issue.

Now onto some things I think you should consider improving. At a glance I couldn't tell Tolnier and White apart, except for the glasses. Their character designs are very similar. Drawing your characters in the beginning can be tricky, but the key to good character design, especially for a comic, is variety. For one, it doesn't confuse the reader, especially since your using a B/W page instead of color.

This may be a long post(early in the morning I might add, for me anyway), so just PQ me if you would like to hear the rest.

This is the type of story that has multiple story arcs. The race is just the first, which is why I put at the end 'and thats just the beginning'. The truth is, I've been working with this stroyline for almost 7 months now, and I just want to get it over with and start the next one. Also, I start using (grey scale) color later on in the story.
