Ha! I really am so proud of this one so far. I've dealt with tornadoes all of my life from Texas to Louisiana. Most recently, New Orleans has had multiple barrel right through into Arabi, one a year or so back being the strongest on record and passed nearby my house. It was horrifying and awe-inspiring all at once watching it live on my phone from the closet with the lights flickering and the wind howling. Damn thing had tendrils like some kind of high speed kaiju. I hate them so much. I've learned my best comics are often based on my own overwhelming, visceral reactions to things in the city and around my house. Inserting Ellie into an event like this and crafting her response to the same event has been a blast.

You know, in all my years of reading comics, I don't recall a single instance that someone thought to have the main character ride a tornado for funsies. And the difference in tone from panel 1 (power of nature) to panel 4 (can we do it again?) is well done.

I'm considering having several more pages done on P&C: TVD soon and releasing its intro in tandom with "Thrill Seeker." The way the lineart is going, they should complement each other well.

This in the context of the panels you've shared from P+C is ecstatic and heartbreaking. I have been ready for this direction for so long, I'm so happy you're taking it.
