Quicksand Jack Issue 3

I read Quicksand Jack issue 3 today and I have to say, it was amazing. I got right into it. It didn't matter how long ago I had read the other issues, as soon as I started reading this one everything from the others came back to me. That feeling that I had when I read the first two issues was still there. I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation during certain moments. I was angry with certain characters for what had happened. I can't wait to read the next issue and find out what happens with all these different characters. I want to see how everything pans out. I seem to really get into these comics.

The main reason I get into these comics like that is because of the writing. I have always loved Nick and Matt's writing. Ever since I first watched A Very Potter Musical I have loved their writing. I get into anything they write. They just make everything more real, rather than it being a big imaginary world. Well, they write about imaginary worlds when they write their musicals. Which I absolutely love. Another thing too, as I am reading this I can really tell that Nick and Matt wrote this. It's all in the way things are written. Which make me want to go write after I finish reading. Like I've said before, Nick and Matt Lang inspired me to write. I may not have a set genre on what I write, but it's what I like to do.

The other thing about this issue, the artwork. Every issue has such amazing artwork. Jen and Teia are so talented. It makes me want to draw again (too bad I can't very much anymore). Every issue has such detail. I was even more drawn into the story because of the images. When you get a chance to see what someone would look like when they say certain things it makes you get into the story even more. Like with the Quicksand Jack stories, it helps even more when you see all the blood and guts rather than just read about it.

Speaking of details in the artwork, before reading this issue I opened an email that had one of my Kickstarter rewards in it. I instantly had to use it. Now I have this awesome Quicksand Jack background. Look at how awesome this is. Look at the detail in that. Doesn't that inspire you to want to draw? I know it inspires me.

I am even mentioned on the website under the section "Thanks for donating". This is so cool, I'm glad that I could help make this issue happen. I don't know how I would feel if they couldn't continue their story.

I think I'll end this by saying, everyone should go check out Quicksand Jack. It's one of the best comics I have ever read.
