To be fair, this scene takes a little bit to get to, but yes, what they see IS important.

And Big Trouble is one of my favorite films OF ALL TIME. :)

That feeling when you know a bit more and why they are like that ;)

Also, that pic is something that can be cropped and used as a reaction meme :D
No offense of course!

BRING IT!

No offense taken, my friend! I would be honored if the kids there ended up in a global (non-offensive) meme!

And yes, you will eventually see why they're responding that way! :P

Well, I'm sure they will die at some point (in the far, far future, one would hope), but Radiant Sophia (my partner in crime) is right. They will decidedly live in interesting times!

Looks to me like you're trying a slightly different art style with this one.

The hype is real.

I'm going for a slightly simpler, but more expressive style. And thanks!

Way to tease us like that, Prof.
Loving the new art style, it's a significant improvement already.
The three characters you show here are intriguing. Might be a bad hunch, but I get a slight 80s cartoon vibe, possibly due to their clothing and hair style. Are you aiming for a brighter and softer feel than the previous version? Not that it's necessarily a bad thing, either.

Eagerly I wish the morrow.

Hmm... For fear of possible copyright violations, I tend to refer to them publicly as "meddling kids".

I'm sure there is SOME 1980s cartoon influence, whether I want there to be or not. That was my prime cartoon-watching time.

I just hope all of you enjoy what's coming...

I'm sure whatever they're looking at is good. You never do bad things to your characters.

Don't necessarily count on that...

...but being cruel to teenagers might be mean...

Your quoting one of the true wise masters is most fitting.

It's a sign of various things. First is that yes, John Carpenter's urban fantasy masterpiece is, in fact, an influence.

Also, Egg Shen IS wise.

Okay!! Here I go!! Gonna finally read Autumn Bay and comment on like every single page, as is my wont!!

See, I already know this series is going to be good, because it starts off with a Big Trouble in Little China quote. Let's do this.
