:')  Oh look... Commander Nova finally got to Earth! 

But... Where is Drew? 


Okay real talk!! I want to know your guys opinion on this because I've never written a comic with a "language" barrier before. So For this page what I did was I changed the normal font to its italics  version to represent that they are speaking in their native language-- NOT english. 

Do you think that this is too subtle? Should I make it a totally different font? Do you think it would help to make their speech start and end with these little guys  <    >    (Example:  <You had better start explaining.>  )

Or is this good? Easy enough to follow along?  Please let me know what you think! :)

I think it should probably be a different font, not something to crazy but also not so close to the original text. Just so there's a clear difference marked between them. Also I thought it was hot cause I'm in my car, naw it was just space daddy 😉😜😂

Holy shit Nova looks hot! I don't think the italics implies a different language unless you let the reader know that's the case. I think using <> will show that better. Different font will also help.

Can't wait for Drew to run into Nova! Does that make me a bad person? <g></g>

Thank you! I think I will give the < > a try first only because I dont want to use two different fonts out of my own weird OCD feelings :')

I think something a bit easier to discern than italics is needed (i didnt even pick up the italics until you pointed it out 😳) 🤔 < > is easy to spot, although another font could be fun, like if you found one that looks like how the language sounds? ... although that might be a bit hard ....

^Agreed. ^ω^ Also, loving that we finally get to see them interact again after such a long time!!💖🎉

ahh! yay Luca is found! his reaction though looks totally an 'oh crap I've messed up and now here is COMMANDER O_O!!' heheheh. If you want to really imply an alien language I'd vote for squashing the OCD in this case and going with a different font that is still readily readable (ohman there is a troll on another comic who had a fit when the author used a pretty hard to read font lol). like maybe: prєvíєw tєхt? or ρяєνιєω тєχт? or even ƿՐ૯౮ɿ૯ω ੮૯૪੮. and where is Drew?????? :-)

Just like how I want to always start my day: Commander Nova in a flight suit. C; For the debate about noticing Nova is speaking a different language: it really depends on the how the language sounds. If the language sounds choppy, rough, hard, I would bold the spoken text. If the language sounds soft, smooth, lyrical, I would italicize the spoken text, but then may change the font to something legible yet flowy, like cursive.
