This was a very gorgeous comic! I loved both the picture book and silent comic structure.
The only critique I have was concerning the text. I know that you already replied to somebody who had brought up similar sentiments in the comment section of part 7, but I think it's important to reiterate that even pictures books follow a certain format when it comes to paragraph line spacing, especially since it can impact the flow and visual storytelling of the story and artwork.
A couple of times I found the text and pictures visually combating for attention. There just wasn't enough breathing room between some of the sections. I'd just suggest observing more picture books for reference. I'm sure, if you're ever interested in looking into it, you'd have fun with experimenting with what you can do.
All that being said, it didn't detract from the overall understanding of the story. I highly enjoyed reading this! I'll be looking forward to seeing how your future projects comes along!
