The difference on these pages would be the red panels.

The difference on this page is very minor. Just an increased glow on the top panel.

Call me crazy, but I actually prefer those two pages with the red panels, as they are in the comic now.

But the third one . . . yeah, that definitely would have been an improvement.

In the case of the two page spread, it's not a matter of prefering the visuals of one over the other, as it is a matter of storytelling. Look at the spoiler thread for issue three, and then look at this again for an indication as to why.

Right, I know . . . those alternate panels are foreshadowing something. That a certain belief Jet has held up until this point, is not true. Or, at least, that's the impression I'm getting.

BTW, regarding the third page. What I meant to say (didn't make it clear) is that your image has more differences than just the glow at the top. The whole page is so much brighter than what ended up in the comic. I would have preferred it that way. In the comic, the colors and the details are muted by comparison.

Not exactly.

But the key issue being that this version has a specific reason for existing that supersedes the aesthetic.

I think that's just a reality of print. The image I put on here is the RGB mode version rather than the CMYK required for print. Other than that change and the differences in the top panel. this is the same file used to print the book.

Just a side note to go along with what Lurkinghorro is saying here with the RGB and the CMYK. Yeah I remember dealing with that over here recently with a plotter for a guy that is a graphic artists over here. Pain in the rear ened. Thought the machine was broken the whole time. Me and the top guns in HP tech support.for the printers. Found out that they forgotten to use the pull down menu for printing to choose the kind of paper off of the menu. And makes the diference. And in the same way kind of to what your talking about here Lurking Horror.

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.
