I got that cloverfield monster image sent to me just before the movie came out it got me going but in the movie it looks like a Rancor, it looks good but the whale design is creepier. Probably harder to make menacing and move through the buildings. It's a good film though Wait till you see what happens to that neat stack of paper….

Where did you get the image above? The whale-ish-ness leaves open loads of interesting possibilities (Cloverfield 12 - Revenge of the Clams). I wonder do people read differently on the web than on paper? I'd say people are more inclined to scan through something faster on the web, searching hardcore for one or two bits of info. The guy with his back straight and paper stacked neat is a great touch in panel 5, arrogant prick! I haven’t seen the movie. Where did you get the image above?

Nah, the knife could do with highlighting, the best way is to break up the line where it meets his shirt. Leave it with me! I'm nearly finished this one so will send it off next month, then I have two more. There should be one going in soon, the insect love story one. So what ye think of cloverfield? Cheers lads.

The knife is secondary information paid of in the next panel. The story tracks. It's grand (and good!)

Seriously though, great work. One small notice: the knife in the second panel wasn't immediately obvious to me at first, I had to do a double take after getting to the third panel to get the context. The focus (action point) is up on his head. You've a fetish for silence and blank space, paradoxically enough it makes a great impact.
