And WHAT a 3 pages! Love the choice for white/light backround on pgs 14/15, because it makes the characters pop and some of these guys have had less 'screentime' so far.
I do think I've done OK juggling the huge cast and am glad I started things where I did and got the team all together in 1 issue (except for those 'insiders' Gorgonna mentions).
EXCELLENT work on the 10-panel grid on pg 16.
I can't believe this issue is almost over, and I look forward to what I feel will be a powerful ending scene...! Dean rules!!
First, the art. Simply amazing, the pencils, the panel layout, the colors! Just WOW! Each character looks distinct and unique! Bravo!
The characters. In an ensemble piece like this, certain characters about bound to stick out to diffierent people. I currently love Bluu, Iriit, the Unnamed and Vamp. The newcomers are also intereting but I will reserve judgement until we see more of them, The only one I personnally don't like is Seven, just because of her character type (Big Strong Warrior Woman)but that doesn't mean I won't fall in love with her eventually. Lash, huge KUDOS on an amazing cast that I cannot wait to see more of.
The writing. LOVE IT. The character bits combined with the space opera epic story remind me of two of my favorite writers (Levitz and moreso Englehart). I find myself comparing the writing style to Englehart more than Levitz, but since both are my favorites, you can do no wrong either way.
For one reason or another, the one scene that chilled me to the bone was when the Unnamed freed the prisoners. His line there totally creeped me out, reminding me of a cross between Obsidian and the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I cannot wait to read more!

YAY MATT's onboard!!! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it so far.
I echo every ounce of praise you give to Dean. I love that boy (his art too)!!
I can only blush with pride at your kind words about the script. That means so much coming from another whose stories I have enjoyed here. Thank you.
Hang in there with Seven. There's more to her than we've seen so far. There's quite a story behind how she came into possession of the Jewel of Siffra that gives her her powers.
Yeah, Unnamed is a bit unhinged. It ain't gonna be pretty when he meets up with Venoma (the other survivor of his home planetoid that you will meet in issue 3), who is one of Omarr's top assassins.

Thank you Matt and Candle, for the supportive comments!
Lash, I'm SOOO close to coloring the final sequence of issue #2. I'm also quite pleased with page 17, which features the lil rebels in Click Here For A Spoilercivilian attire!
Also, FYI... 15 pages of # 4 are done... the final sequence is going to be quite violent so I thought I would take a brief break before I tackled that.

Dean, when this issue is complete I will plug again on FACEBOOK... do you know any other places/sites I can attempt to spread the STARSEARCHERS word?
Also, how do you get the stats from DRUNK DUCK that you have posted previously? I'd be interested to see. I can tell from the comments there we have a few followers, but not everyone comments...
