I get really metaphorical in the dialogue. Mostly to cover up how poor the dialogue is.
Anyway, Blah blah blah. The King Sows decent between Shinji and Quat again.

Ugh. That's all I'll say about this page. ugh...

479

I'm not drawing Quat right at all on this page. She's really hard to draw right, though. There's all sorts of little quirks to her eyes and her hair.

478

Out of all the characters that I don't like to draw in this comic. That fucking king is my least favorite character to draw. I tried taking steps to really establish the setting in this chapter, but it managed to fall apart on me really badly. And it only gets worse on the next few pages.

477

That train scene's a little confusing, now that I read it. Anyway 2 more chapters before the blogspot archives are finally patched in. The art takes a drastic nosedive next chapter.

476

You know what this flashback could have used... Adult Quat narrating the story a little. I never use a narrator, but this is one of those times it could have really come in handy.
Love the art in this page, though.

475

During this time the comic was written in 2 ways. On my walks to and from work I would come up with some rather elaborate  monologues and plot developments, but not have them drawn out yet.
or I would draw out scenes between two characters, but not ~exactly have the dialogue completely written.
That left me cornering myself quite frequently. Especially during Quat's dialogue when we get back to the present.

474

That wasn't "simply put" at all, IVan. Simply Put would have been saying "Shinji was supposed to killed steel blue billiards, but instead I had him join my team"
Bad 23 year old me! Be a better writer!

473

The backgrounds are kinda trippy here. I wish I did more stuff like that.
I don't know why I thought giving that girl different colored contour lines was a good idea. that looks terrible.

472

I liked these last few pages. The drawings are pretty great, the story is just the characters bouncing off each other. I'm wish I could have made the backstory that went with it more engaging, but it's not as bad as I remember it being.
It's a shame the rest of the flashback could be like this.

471

Kinda of a lame set up for the joke. But I did want to emphesize the importants of the Hearts Faction in the suit league. All rookies start out as clubs, experienced normals become the spades, and experienced supers become the hearts. (two wich there are 1 or 2, as most super powered heros are clubs.)
Looking back though. That really wasn't an important detail to the story. I could have easily left it as subtext.

Top Panel Refers to a collection of filler comics I posted before this chapter. The Ear-fter Burner was from that filler as well. I should repost that arc soon, but not now.

Harts demon form took all summer to get right. Really I'm surprised how well it ended up looking.

So many time skips during these pages. I want to think that they work, but I know there is probably a lot of confusion.
For the more astute reader: Shinji's design in this chapter starts out as a Ralts, Becomes a Kirlia and then looks like a Gardevoir.
