Evening Shift<\/strong> (with Dwight Williams)<\/p>\n

Oh random comic, why must you be so inconsistent? There was a decent, simple story in this one. Relatively simple, anyway. A man who gets to set his own hours ends up at a bar late at night and has a chance meeting with a lonely stranger. Sounds simple enough, right? Things get a bit more complicated from there, and it ends up being a pretty good comic in that regard. The problem is with the art. At times it’s pretty good, certain panels and pages here and there. Then at other times it’s awful, and I can’t figure out why that is. Maybe Dwight was rushed, or maybe he’s still learning his trade, in which case he has a ton of potential. It’s just hard for me to understand things like the last panel, where Jack’s (the main character) eyes are almost touching each other and two stocky midgets are outside by the ambulance. This leads to my bit of preaching to all young comic creators out there: every panel on every page is important. I understand if you have a deadline or something and you have to crank it out, but remember that everything you do could end up at the bottom of somebody’s closet and, when they pull the issue out randomly ten years from now, all they’re going to think is that you didn’t give a shit about something that is (for almost everyone who’s doing there own comic) a labor of love. Rant over, this is $2.95, here’s an e-mail address<\/a> and the website is up there.<\/p>\n
