Thanks! I based her eyes a bit off of Bette Davis. :D

Perhaps this is biased of me to say, but I declare MtRC to be one of the greatest comics ever created. I have read many comics before, but only a few of them by a few respected individuals have ever graced this level of perfection, and this would be one of them. Unlike many other comics and stories I've read, this one actually has a point to it. A meaningful one, and it's just so packed with power and feeling behind it. I admit that I didn't catch all of the symbolism, as I'm quite the slow fool lol, but the ones I did really struck a chord with me. The expressions... the yellow ribbon and it repairing the dogtags... and the life seen in what is otherwise perceived as dead. This comic is truly amazing, and beautiful.
I admit that at first I was reluctant to read, because I don't normally go for lengthy comics, especially when I find them too late and they already have many pages, and I kept telling myself to save it for later. Well, I'm glad that I finally gave it a chance. Though I would have loved the comic all the same even if I started earlier.
I also really relate to Sonia... In some ways, she reminds me very much like myself, to the point where I might even say she has the same kind of dysfunction I have actually. I'm not quite as forgetful as she is/was, but the reminder is still there. I felt a good connection, and seeing her help and be helped was really moving.
All in all, this is a great comic. You should feel proud for making this, and I certainly respect you for the amount of work you've done. Truly I don't think I shall find another comic quite like this one. Good luck in your efforts on getting this published. More people should read this art.

I feel a lot of power in that final panel. Emotional power. Here is a man who has endured so much in his life, a living hell that perhaps none of us could ever truly comprehend, and here he is saying that he is okay. And not just because of the robbery-turned-attack, but everything. Something that which he once felt was impossible, but made possible through Sonia. And you can also see that desperation in his eyes. Mixed with the thunder, a sure sign that the rain will finally come... this is a really powerful moment in the comic.
I'm nearly through reading this comic, but I'll say now that I really love how you managed to capture such moments like this. There is power to this story, and I find this really respectable. You should feel proud for making this comic.

I didn't realize it until now, but might Sonia's yellow ribbon perhaps be a symbol of the yellow ribbons today of supporting troops? Seeing it tied around his arm like that, it just made me think of it.

I liked Sonia when she first showed up, mostly because of her eyes. They showed her sadness well.
But new Sonia is just so adorable, it's not even possible to not love her :3 And she looks more innocent, where the one before that was just sad.
Love seeing these evolution scetches, it really shows how far this comic brought you :)

@SKitFox: Thanks! The last version is definitely best for the tone of the comic. :)
