One pro tip: In panel 1, the first word bubbles should have a connector to Mr Whitewig’s later bubbles, instead of the arrow that sort of points to his elbow. Something like what’s in panel 2:
I also like it, now we know they are protecting themselves from “the afflicted”. I guess we’ll find out later on what kind of affliction we are talking about. Althought we already have some clues, they are still weak. What we do know is that it is something internal, as the sniper didn’t see the man was free of the affliction, even with his steampunk target magnifier.
There are some nice clues, if non afflicted have arrived earlier, there could be people resistant to the affliction or entire towns/groups free of it (which sould mean they isolated themselves or they have some sort of cure).
BTW, I really really loved the little trivia about Belmont’s arm. It’s funny, if he has another one for combat, he has a normal arm and an armed arm.
That’a why I keep trying to figure some things out myself and comment them here, because you can’t, and what I say it’s not cannon, then I could be spoiling without knowing and without anyone being the wiser.
Ah, so they don’t just shoot people because they’re xenophobic, good to know.
I can’t wait to see the combat arm. I really want to see if it is a arm with weapons on it or just an arm more suited to using weapons (perhaps weapons too heavy for normal people to hold). Then again, even if it doesn’t do anything special besides actually be usable as an arm in combat that’s pretty impressive and I won’t begrudge him having multiple arms for different situations. I would too. I hope eventually we too will know what happened to his arm.
I feel sorry for the gypsy caravan. Those guys always end up dead in fictional settings for some reason or another.
HMMM. The story seems very interesting, but unfortunately your men look like women. It bothers me a little. Hmmm. They definitely have more delicate features than most men have. There are many subtle and less subtle differences between male and female faces, and a beard or goatee doesn’t make a feminine face more masculine.
