Okay, having finished ch 1:
It's good! I managed to get into it and care at many moments for the character and want to continue the story. Which is definitely what you want for a first chapter.
There are some changes you could make to improve the narrative impact you're going for. Sometimes as simple as panel order. I know it's hard to read it like you are the reader when you're the creator, which I guess is why you posted!
I would change the first panel. The first thing I like to see/experience is one solid thing to hold onto. Perhaps a single emotion of solitude or feeling lost. Their is a difference between not-knowing causing curiosity vs confusion for the reader.
I felt confused as to what I should feel in the first panel.
I would extend that moment to last more panels to clarify.
The strong orange/yellow at the beginning may have bothered my eyes a bit. Maybe have the yellow take up less space by using a darker shade for the background around the character or something? Or different shade for the whole thing?
Having 'Major Depressive Disorder' being right on the page in the first scene is a bit like on-the-nose dialogue. It's hand feeding the audience and could be done more subtly, giving the audience clues that pull them along. At the same time I didn't even notice it because it's a block of small words that I definitely skimmed. If you want most of the audience to read something make it easy for them.
Thing in his pocket on page 7 made me curious but if it's cigarettes/lighter it isn't clear because it's a different shade of yellow later.
I understood what was going on with his approach to the car. Thumbs up.
On page 9 the impact of the pregnant reveal is lost. You can either move the last panel forward so he says it before the visual reveal or have him not say anything directly but instead snarky ect. We don't need two confirmations she is pregnant for the reveal page. Just visual or dialogue and probably the last panel needs to be the one with the punch.
It's easy to skip a driving montage so page 13 had nothing interesting for me but it doesn't necessarily hurt it either.
The colours are definitely confusing to me and you want to know what each one means. On page 14 he takes a breath and centres himself before going in, isn't that good? But you use red to represent it and the event on page 23 and the end fight. And fridge is the thing that starts the red at the end which gives a feeling that the fridge is bad. Which I don't think is what you're going for.
There is a confusing cut at the end of the party. But first my favourite moment: The TV comes on, the red comes in and he has an episode, or something. Very cool and I felt it. But I was disappointed when it cut away suddenly to later. I didn't know what happened for real during the events inside his head aannd I didn't know how the party ended. So I didn't know how much of the tv broadcast was real or in his head. Which gave me 2 degrees of separation from understanding, not just one, so I was more confused than just curious.
I feel like you get better as you go. That blue and red colouring like a glow is cool. And that yellow and blue transition earlier.
The different pencil, lack of colour style for the dream(?) is cool. I feel like that is going to come back and we will get more from that. I think it's a good choice for a dream because the extra lines have a fuzzy feel to them. Where the rest of the chapter has solid black lines.
Regarding skimming
I lost engagement at moments during the end fight. That tends to happen to me either when their isn't a value shift that happens or it isn't clear so I can't feel it.
But also certain moments did have my engagement!
The visuals tend to be at their best and most interesting when their is a blended mixture like page 44. I also found the plain blue to be fine/good like during star trek.
Okay, this is getting too long. Overall I'm excited to continue.
And I would love a reply about the things that were confusing to me so that I know what I'm supposed to be feeling/understanding.
