I’m fairly sure that this is an early work by Jeronaton, because the piece that ran previously was of a much higher quality. The photo-referencing here is so bad that the woman on the third page looks like she’s stoned – to be fair, she might have been when the original photo was taken. And the trio on the same page look very awkward – it’s hard to imagine that an artist would choose to draw his characters like that if he didn’t have to.
The worst sins against visual narrative, though, is the first two pages. If you notice, there are giant numbers in the various word balloons and captions. The obvious reason for this is that there is no narrative flow between the – the reader basically has to wander over the page until he finds a bunch of words that more or less follow what he’d just read and hope that it was the right one. If you have to number your captions so that the reader can follow along, you might want to rethink your placement of said captions.
