Comments: The lettering is fuzzy, making it hard to read.
Here we see Alexandria posing for a painting of herself. Her father disapproves of the finished product. Jason Byron is the painter, and he is a good one.
The colors look great, a nice use of different greens on the landscape, and the ominous skies are a good way of building up suspense.
Jason has a beautiful wife, and Laura is illustrated as a gorgeous woman.
This place has ace magic rules, and technology is forbidden. Jason has been willing to push those rules. He does, though, realize what is more important in his life.
Then something strange happens.
We seem to have switched places to a different world where aliens that look like fish roam the Earth. Here, Jason Byron also exists, and he is very different from the other version. H, Jason, and Fem’A Lin, an alien, are in love.
The story here needs more explaining to it. Jason wants to avoid any fighting, yet he finds himself in grave danger.
You can guess some of what might be going on. Having a better idea would be nice. Some of the conversations are hard to follow.
You will be left wondering why Jason is in these two different worlds. Is it all real or a dream?
