Is it okay to adjust/reupload some pages if your comic is new?

I recently uploaded a new comic this week, and I'd like to take some of my feedback into consideration. Is it acceptable you think to alter or adjust some of the pages to make it better if not too many people have found it yet? Or should I just push on and improve?

Not sure if I'd do it yet, but if I did, I'd make one reupload all at once to minimize changes for the people who've already read it.

Since you're still early on in the game, why not? But don't let it become a habit!

I think it's fine as long as it's not a major plot change or your redrawing the page. If you missed a detail or want to draw a hand better it's fine. But if you want to make a major change, if it's not needed, probably don't do it.

For me it would be little things like a spelling error. As long as your not changing the structure of the plot or anything i think it's fine.

Go ahead and change everything you feel like. It's your comic and you should feel you have full control.

If it's just spelling then you really should.

If you're replacing art you might want to consider notifying your readers in a comment for your next episode so the ones that want can re-read.

If it's story, names or similar then you can select to "notify" your subscribers when you save the changed episode/s. You should also leave a note at the end of your next update or even make a special update notifying that you made changes.

The perks of electronic toons. ^^

Now, for the issue of making it a habit. Maybe that's just someone's style, a dynamic comic that evolves even after episodes been published. However, as a reader I'd be really annoyed if it happened more than once or twice when it comes to story and plot. A good story flows without loads of reboots. The only reason I'd go back and read first episodes again would be to check if that awesome plotwist really was nicely foreshadowed and set up at the beginning.
