I thoroughly agree with you desire to see the story stretched out. I don't know anything about the artist, but from the clues in the artwork and the storytelling, I'm guessing they are pretty new at this. If I'm correct, for a first timer, they did a pretty darn good job, IMHO. I'd love to see more of them to watch their artwork and storytelling evolve and improve. If I'm not correct, and this is one of hundreds of pieces with the same art style and abrupt story line, the artist could use a manager or editor to help them hone and improve. A second set of critical eyes that you can trust to have your best interests at heart is indispensable for any artist. The potential is there, they just need to reach it.
The art was lacking. Some of it was like, "whoa, ugly" and some of it was "he looks hot." I think the plot was a good one, but cramming it into one short chapter was doing it a disservice. I would like to have seen it stretched out over the course of several chapters, with more detail, more suspense, and much more character development.
