@Banes: Awesome! Well in that case I'll quit overly worrying about 'packed' pages, but I'll still generally work on letting the art itself do more of the talking. Thanks for the feedback - it really is appreciated!
Lol! I love how Socorro is almost entertained at all of this. I wonder what Kimber plans to do in order to convince her that she's telling the truth. Is she gonna do a triple back flip or something? :s
I don't think it comes across badly at all! The emotions ring true and it's a total page-turner. It's probably my favorite dramatic comic. And this one sees these two confronting each other at last, and ends in a great way, anticipating Kim's demonstration and Socorro's reaction!
@Banes: Well, I did want feedback... If the page came across in a bad way because it was too 'packed'. I was a bit worried it would but if it doesn't then I'm fine with it. I know I wanted Socorro to be a little frustrated with Kimber Lee for not being 'totally' truthful, and calling her out for making up 'outrageous' stories seemed a good way - plus it sets up the next couple panels (and the next page). Still, I do feel I need to learn to let the art do the talking more instead of so much text... Grrrr it's not easy!
I think the fact that Socorro is coming to talk to her, even though she's coming across as angry, is a good sign. The wall is broken down...that's how wounds get healed! Did you want feedback on the packed-page thing? You could've axed that dialogue where Kim tells Socorro about the dream experiment stuff; just have her go right into the demonstration of her abilities. Another beauty of a page...the characters' behavior continues to make sense and be very believable!
@Bravo1102: Yeah Socorro's become quite the contrary one. As for as the washed out, I thought the other pages didn't look enough like Night, so I tried to mute the colors somewhat. I try in the coming pages as well, with varying success.
Socorro is so negative that if Kimber Lee can sell her, she can sway anyone. Important test. The color's more washed out than last page. Moon going behind a cloud probably.

@fallopiancrusader: Thanks! I'll try to stop worrying haha

Sure, the page is dense, but it works just fine. It's a well choreographed emotional interplay.

@Peipei: Haha you're close! But Kimber Lee plans to do something involving jumping - we know how those have tended to turn out haha

@plymayer: True enough! Not like her tactics so far have worked all that well ;)

Good idea. She needs to trust some one. Her old friend will be true.
