That's the problem with these kinds of sequences: they don't make much sense until you're at least three or four pages in.
Plus, the transition from phase to phase in the last page was very smooth and I haven't ever seen this technique used in art or film before. +1 for empiricism I suppose, and -1 for Archduke's intuition...
Interesting that you choose nano-particles and possible nanites as the source of a prion disease. The proposed use of self-organizing proteins, glycoproteins, and nucleic acids really lends itself to unintended misfolding disorders.
A small art criticism: In the last frame, the scrunched facial features give the obnoxious company man too much of a baby head... I know the phenotype you were shooting for (the self-indulgent condescending elitist ecto/endomorph) and frame six captured it.
I agree about the art, but of the three times I drew it, that's the closest I could get.
Who is this woman with the weird haircut? Is it Mary? But isn't Mary the little kid? Or is this two flashbacks at the same time? And who is the person they're taking away? Is that jim or the person with the anarchist tattoo?
