If I had kept the same mentality and story plan I had when I began writing this it would, to me at least, feel very boring and predictable.

My stories take on a darker tale lately where the Hero loses everything and has to fight to reclaim it. My style has changed a lot over the past 7 years, and I hope you'll stick around to see how things turn out.

It'll get good, trust me.
My polite warning is to not go overboard with this hopelessness is all, though it is good to hear that you're taking chances with the narrative. That said, I'm still kinda in this state of detachment with the characters, protagonist and antagonist. A jerk is punching another jerk at this point, is what I'm thinking of the occasion, and someone nicer is freaking out, and that's kind of a bad situation to be in when both one of the primary antagonists and the protagonist aren't very sympathetic. Though, given the speed of the comics, it may just be the issue of speed belying character growth and this being a low point (for both).
