Okay. I don’t feel I get to speak much about #ComicsBrokeMe. I have had some shitty experiences in comics, including some I didn’t recognize at the time. But overall, I am very happy and comics have been great to me. I see the pain of my colleagues and it’s horrible.

Readers should be able to understand the basics of your story simply by looking at the art without words. That includes where it's taking place and who is present. If those things are not clear, it's a failure.
