Page 12, second panel (top right) the dialog bubbles seem to be swapped between characters.

Great to see it back (and  I'm sure you're happy to see it up Daphne!)

And I've just realised that The Ring Cycle wasn't on Daphne's list of comics in production on 4th March. If that's not an oversight it's gone from zero to published in 3 weeks suggesting that some people have really been really hitting the turbo boost button to get it out, which is very much appreciated!

I know that the title page says that HSefra is the artist, but this looks an awful lot like Diego Trigo’s artstyle

One of my favorite titles. Glad to see a new issue.

It's all hot, but that first panel on page 6 really gets me for some reason.

Yes, it was. :-) I removed it when I put up the issue.

Nope, not him. Sefra just did the layouts; Laura Mondragon (new artist to us) did the inks and colors.

Always fun to see Ring Cycle back!

I think Laura Mondragon's colour and inks pair well with HSefra's style. Not quite the same of course, but still really good. I'm guessing this combo might streamline things for working on the comic. Not that I mind the current pace, but more Ring Cycle is always appreciated. :D

Can't wait to read this.  A good reason to renew my subscription

So happy to see this.  I loved the brainwashing at the end, and can't wait to see the changed home dynamics in action.

I thought that the artist had been changed but it seems not.  The look of most of the characters has definitely changed.  The neighbor girlfriend character whose name I can't remember definitely looks different, and the others all look subtly different.  Not complaining, the art is still great, just observing.

Anyway, another great issue of one of the best comics on the site.  I hope we get a mom/sister threesome in the next issue.

Such a great story. Glad it’s continuing. I was hoping HSefra would be the artist since the last chapter was so beautifully done. A shame that none of Paula’s best scenes are fully being done by HSefra. So sad, but I do hope HSefra will be the artist for the next chapter! I would rather wait a long time for a consistent, beautiful art style, than have a quicker turnout with various authors of differing quality. Just my opinion though! Hope the story continues regardless.

I don't want to go into details, but Sefra is no longer working for MCC.

If the artist couldn't keep up with the deadlines without a good reason, then it makes sense to let them go. I'm completely fine with the switch in art style. Hsefra's style isn't bad, but I certainly wouldn't miss it.

Yeah, I recall Daphne reporting some very unprofessional behavior from the Ring Cycle artist. If anything, I was pleasantly surprised when this issue showed up with his pencils and inks.  It's a shame because I liked his style, but if an artist can't uphold the business end then I understand not doing business with them.

Still looking forward to the continuation in other hands.

I won't lie and say I didn't enjoy the boobtastic art, but for me it's the story that I enjoy the most.  If things can progress I'd be happy even if the art was the cheaper 3D style.

Nope nope nope.  2D always better.

While I do strongly prefer 'traditional' drawn art to any sort of render, I have to agree that story is the most important factor.
Great story can overcome less appealing art, but the greatest art cannot sell a weak story.
