Like what?
Some people I suspect just dislike reboots, some are unhappy many of the characters are smaller busted, and some are unhappy that there isn't nudity this time. I've heard each of those complaints, but I'm not sure which one is the most prominent.
And that's only from 13 years ago, one-two years into the comic. It's actually page 58, not 14 (you can see it says Pulse #4 on the top. I used to follow the method used by many long-form comics and every chapter had a page one. I eventually decided that was confusing and adopted my current method.
Like What?I liked the simpler line style and slightly more comic book feel with deep shadows and character blocking - it seemed to go along with her recollections and Jungle Girl day dreams.
Some people I suspect just dislike rebootsAs far as the reboot - I think it is great. The first run was right out of the gate. With reflection you made it clear that the story could be told in a better way in your opinion.
many of the characters are smaller bustedI have no problem with the smaller busts and in fact I like the variation as it makes things a bit more realistic and puts Pulse in perspective. Nudity did seem a bit much the first time too. Just how many shower scenes does one have in a day?
It's actually page 58Regarding the comic numbering conventions - you will note that the PNG file is number 58, hence the actual ordinal number of that strip is rather obvious to anyone who notices details like that.
The only critique between the previous and current telling of the Pulse story is that I miss the greater sense of "discovery" and revelation from the first. Things occur a bit fast I think this time around and there are a few times that the unfamiliar might be caught saying "Why did that happen or who is that person?"
I mentioned that same thing about some of the later PeEVEd installments when those uninitiated into the world of those particular video games might not have the back story and subtle things like inside jokes and allusions would be lost.
