In this chapter a rare sight, a federation investigator actually investigating! This concludes the Erosion story arc. Next up is "The Visitors" which will continue for 12 chapters.
I've spotted a blank bubble in Erosion #4 (page 98 in the "whole volume" release). The bubble is in the upper-right panel at the bottom-left part. Actually, the bubble itself is in the upper-center of the page.
Anyway, I don't think that there is something really important. I was just wondering whether the author had left the bubble empty on purpose (blank bubble in the raws), I heard that sometimes it happens, although I don't remember ever crossing such case, or it is something you've missed.
Too fast! I checked that page and for some reason I put 3 bubbles worth of text into 2. Oh well, there's plenty more errors where that came from. I'll get a proofreader one of these days...
I also thought that might be the case, but ruled it out pretty quickly as something very unlikely - just "Oh, really?" can hardly be split into two bubbles.
Well anyway, if you can't get a proofreader, you always have us. As long as someone bothers to point out the errors and those we think are errors (you do have some grammatical mistakes, but not that much and we can live with them). But if you want for people to make reports, you should explicitly say that somewhere where everyone would see it.
But post-release (or rather post typesetting) corrections are rather expensive compared to editing a .doc or .txt file, so really the best option is to find someone to act as a proofreader (to hunt down grammar errors) and as QC (to search and destroy blank bubbles and other unnecessary stuff).
But still, for one-man-group you do pretty amazing job. So, *thumbsup* and keep the good work! ;)
P.S. This evening I'll start the 8th volume, so if you wish, I can look for errors and report them back if I spot something. Can't promise I'll spot everything (or even most), though. I have some pretty big holes in my grammar knowledge.
Somehow this chapter seem incomplete (the next chapter (and story arc) starts from the next day, making this chapter look like a cliffhanger). Possible missing of a page or two.
Note: I haven't read the next chapter, since I prefer to wait for the whole story arc to be released, so if it's somehow explained later how she dealt with the situation: sorry to bother.
Remember, this was originally released in Weekly Young Sunday Magazine a chapter at a time so there will be a lot of cliffhanger type chapter endings. Got to keep 'em interested! The only time you will see a page number missing is when I splice those double wide pages together.
As for what she did after, it's just not covered so I can see how it would look incomplete.
I though it would be covered in the beginning of next chapter, but it didn't. Also, it's the end of a story arc, so I thought it would have a little bit more complete ending.
LOL, thanks! Finally I can read the whole arc. Please, continue the good work and fast release! *thumbsup*
