Deep Dish is a comic that delves into the strip club industry that takes a look at the showgirls and the high-end management versus the customers who get to know the girls on a personal basis and form long-lasting friendship and love. The comic is well put together and presents a realistic feel for what the girls face as a result of the friendships and love interests that develop over time. I hope this comic will be continued and see what develops in later months and years. It should be a really fantastic story! I can see many possibilities for further comic story lines.
I thoroughly enjoyed Deep Dish. I hope there will be enough positive reception from other patrons that will warrant a new Deep Dish volume. I will certainly buy it if a second volume is created!
This is a well drawn graphic novel. I particularly like the fine details of the characters’ facial expressions. Often times in other comics, a character’s face is reduced to 3 squiggled lines.
One of the troubles of having a storyline written in 1st person narrative is the limitations in how the story progresses. We can only see what happens from the main character’s perspective. Character development is also much slower since all developments must involve the main character as well. However, I suppose that works better in the format of 2 paged chapters.
As an author, I prefer narrow first person narratives. Yes, it limits what you can see, but I think it allows much greater character depth.
With scripts, Deep Dish is in first person because I wanted the noir feel, which often involves a voiceover and is usually first person narrative.
Desirable Layovers is mostly first person because I wanted to capture Leah’s emotions, but there are sections where we see out of other people’s eyes (and have flashbacks from their point of view). Similarly, the Cover Stories comics are often in first person because the joke is that what one person is telling doesn’t match what happened. There are a couple of exceptions.
Firefox Alliance is traditional third person narrative.

There are sixty four pages in the first volume. Stories lines after that depend on the reception of the first volume.

I meant to say single paged chapters.
Basically, I’m trying to tell you this is really good and keep up the great work!
Glad you like it!

So we’re playing with it.
Thanks for the comments.
