I've mentioned that I've been working on a pitch for a non-NB graphic novel over the last few months. Click on the image to go check it out!As I've noted - I don't intend on finishing the story unless someone wants to publish it. I hope they do because I like the characters. I'm in the final stages of getting the actual pitch together and I should be sending it off to publishers in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, let me know what you think of this. do you like it? do you want to read the rest? where do you think it's going?

It's a decent pitch, but I don't really find the characters as sympathetic as NB. I'm guessing most of your readers know what it's like to be a student trying to hash things out about life, the universe, and everything... but the band breaking up doesn't have the same verisimilitude for me.
Speaking as a musician, I like the way you portray the lurking ambivalence that has infected 99.9% of every band that's ever tried to "make it". However, I did find it sort of unrealistic that the bass player would have done an interview with an important magazine without letting anyone in the band know. Seems like a bit of a stretch if you're looking for passive-aggressive plot devices. The more subtle approach would be the band or even himself having his ambivalence revealed by the interviewer's choice of quotes. Just my two cents. I like your artwork and story telling sensibilities a lot, and Nothing Better is one of my faves.
Updates for NB still say 'Tuesdays through the holidays'.
It's February! How long do your holidays last? ^^
Just saw this (since I normally read via RSS, I hadn't been by the site in a while.) I like it - I think that a few of the characters seem a bit on-dimensional (singer and drummer, mostly), but that's why it's just a pitch; I assume we'd learn more about them later on.
I'd read more.
