Ha! That's hilarious! Well played indeed.
I only assume that comic in the top panel is a reference to something. Something obscure!

Volnutt and his "confusing" books, lol. Good stuff...

Roll certainly seems to enjoy being touchy with Rock, doesn't she? Two pages in a row! The shape of the speech bubbles doesn't bother me. I usually read through so fast that there's hardly any time to soak in the finer details. You could probably make the bubbles into hexagons and I'd hardly notice.  Mechanics for the Rockbuster look great. The only thing that has me scratching my head is the Weapon Category. What's Rank-2 mean? |

The "Weapon Category" is a profiling attribute for categorizing weapon trees relative to each other; that way it would be easier to tell what weapons are 'superior or 'improved' over an older counterpart.
I added descriptions to each of the attributes shown on the weapon page which you can view by hovering over it with your mouse. I'll get around to making it more obvious next time.

Excellent new page! I really like all the characterization.
I'm sensing that there maybe some sort of Digouter stigma?
I gotta say that the mechanics page is pretty sweet.
IMMEASURALBE!
Also I didn't notice a change in the bubble either.

Thanks for the feedback regarding the text.
Looking back at the earlier pages, I felt that the straight lines of the speech boxes would clash with the narration and image panels, especially if they end up getting bunched closely together.
At the moment, I am open to suggestions regarding the new section(s).
Is there any more information that anyone wants added to the mechanics section?

Outside of more additions, the Mechanics section's already pretty awesome. There's already more info than I thought would've first been there. (Not a bad thing; I love reading all of it!) So I'm not sure what else to suggest; but I support the phrase "more the merrier!" in that regard.  I kinda see what you meant regarding the speech bubbles, after having read through again. You probably don't have to get rid of the square/rectangular bubbles altogether; you could pull a Jacques and use them for when something electronic or unusual is speaking or making noise, and maybe narration. It'd be a subtle element, but an interesting one nonetheless, eh? I think Jacques started doing that fairly recently himself, actually. |

Oh hey mr. Volunatto, you have a spy on you... and I think we all know what it is...

Who put those Japanese-language sfx in my English-language manga? LOL
No, but seriously. I really like the Junk Store woman's face in the second panel. I'm not really a big fan of manservice, so no comments there.
I feel an Indiana Jones moment coming on...
Projecting ahead... I can't wait to see how the "everybody loves blue boy" situation is dealt with in this adaptation...

@ sketchman3: Thanks.
I've actually gone through a few iterations on drawing the more diverse characters; specifically, how to draw faces beyond the focused/pretty types reserved for main characters. Figured it would be important to work on avoiding the dreaded "sameface" for the cast as a whole while the appearing cast is still pretty small (shows like Gundam SEED (especially the remaster) being a good example of what to avoid).

Well, Rock. That's what you get for stripping in the middle of an open field. I guess the Servbots have seen two main characters in their birthday suits now.
...Great. Now my post sounds really perverted. Thanks, Truner. :37:
