The length of the story's a problem.
At 22 pages it does meet the minimum requirements in its page count, but each page has on average 3 to 4 panels, most comics have about 6 to 7.
Enlightenment covers about 50-60% of story that a typical comic would in the same number of pages. It reads extremely fast. As it is, the 3-4 panels per page set up it has works fine. I've seen a lot of comics that just are done that way, intentionally slam-bang narratives that don't expect you to dwell on anything. Yet in those comics you usually see many many more pages than this. In other words, the comic has the right 'heft' to it. There are enough pages to support the reading speed.
When Enlightenment gets more off the ground with more chapters and more story I can see this definitely a tale I would want to go back to.
That's all for now!
