Luca and Phe = <3 Lovely page, too. You don't realize what special things you have until you are close on losing them! (things being... relationsships and stuff in this case. Why is it so hard to get proverbs right in english. )XD Love the "animation" in these panels. Awesome! Holy Moly the incentive is adorable! Luca and Phe = <3

If this becomes an issue then I may change fonts starting in chapter 3, but that means I'll have to shop around for something I am willing to commit to and I'm sure that will take me forever :B Haha, don’t worry, I notice these things too… no, it doesn’t :C And I’m too lazy (at the moment) to go back and redo the entire comic in a typeface that does have italics or bold.

That could work better, if you want to go with emphasis. Having two different type sizes doesn't really work as well as italics in this situation because there isn't enough big type to make a clear contrast with the smaller point size. (And it messes up your leading...) Sorry if that sounds picky, I'm a third year graphic design student. We notice these things. Does this typeface have italics?

I'm guessing he knocked her down. I don't think you need to necessarily knock someone into a coma for it to be considered abusive. Well, she was standing earlier and then they wound up on the floor?

Poor Luca, it's not his fau- oh. wait. I love when comics' art gets better as they go along. It gives people who can't draw (like me. See DevArt link above...) hope. The first webcomic I ever started reading, DMFA (www.missmab.com), started out kinda rough, but looks amazing now. It's still one of my favorites. Wow. Harsh Phe.

He grabbed her shirt and yelled at her, he didn't put her in a coma! I think that perhaps you need to step out of your cloistered little rooms and into the real, brutal world that the rest of us are forced to live in each day. Or, at least be aware of the fact that it exists, and perhaps a bit more sympathetic to the maladies of those of us who do. Yeah, Luca is not being very "nice", but let's not forget, he's not exactly "sane", either. You don't go through what it is being inferred he has experienced and still retain your full faculties. And I'd imagine Phe knew that when she got with him, or if she didn't, she's an idiot. When a man is raised in violence, and lives in violence, well, he's been conditioned to respond in that fashion to any threat, real or imagined.

While I agree that Luca was being physically abusive in the last page, I don't think it was as brutish or purposeful as some are making it out to be. He wasn't intentionally harming Phe. He became emotional and enraged at the bitter memories of his youth and the trauma of war. He was only trying to convey his pain to Phe, who he felt didn't understand. He engaged her at close range, face to face, and pressed onto her while in his fitful state, desperately trying to get his wife to understand where he was coming from. Understandably, Phe misinterpreted and was alarmed by his demeanor and poor choice of words. In other words, Luca was wrong for hurting Phe, but she also wounded him emotionally by not seeming to care about his point of view or his psychological scars. Its a terrible, depressing situation and there's no real bad guy. Luca is sort of a jerk, but he's far from being abusive. He is rather unstable, however, so Phe's decision to distance herself isn't a bad one...
