Page Two. I think Nic’s design work gives the Martian architecture a real blend of science fiction industrialism and Victorian sensibility, especially the glass (plasti-steel) shell. This theme continues, I think, in our “costumes”; part dystopian corporate uniform and part steam-punk convention. Nic took my paragraph-long descriptions of the girl’s appearance and translated them into sketches in one shot.
Recommending a music pairing with this page wasn’t easy and it came down to two choices. I considered Love and Rockets with Kundalini Express. But, in the end, it really had to be Siouxsie and the Banshees’ The Passenger (sorry Iggy). It captures our own passenger’s tone pretty well and the lyrics are eerily appropriate.
Lastly, thanks for all the great feedback. It is very motivational to hear from you ladies and gentlemen. So keep the comments, criticisms and input of all sorts coming. You can email us at sistersgrimmcomic@hotmail.com.

It’s rare to see a webcomic that bothers this much with background and atmosphere nowadays.
This restores my faith in humanity, at least a little bit.
Looking fantastic so far, guys! Looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds.

Great looking page!
I thought this was a comic version of “The Sisters Grimm” books… I didn’t realize it was something different. So far I like the books better.
JonMyere,
Fair enough! Maybe keep reading our comic and you might end up being surprised. But you are 100% correct, this website has nothing to do with the series of young adult detective novels of the same name. Nor does it relate to the Marvel character, Sister Grimm. Or the actual band, Sisters Grimm, from NY circa 1995.

I dig your work, guys. A really cool, loose, high-style layout. The “feel” of the art makes it seem to me like you’re going a lot on instinct instead of heavy scripting with this, so I’ll be interested to see how you carry it through!

i love the detail in your work. if the story is as good as the art, this will be an awesome ride!
