A cold Tuesday bonus: head turnarounds for Doctor Hans Zarkov, who has some pretty fun stuff coming up in this arc. Certain versions have given him more hair, but combover machismo is just such a powerful vibe, I had no choice but to go classic with it.

This is very good advice. I’ll add that at least some of the scenes in a story should take place on a hill. Especially if the scene takes place in a city, adding a little slope that the architecture needs to contend with can add a lot of believable interest to the environment.
Oh also don't forget to put kids and old people in your comic. I always forget the kids, but even as a background element they create a sense of history that extends before and after the present story, which is important for stakes as well as verisimilitude

Okay, a real one: Every once in a while, check to make sure the version of your characters, setting, and timeline that exists in your head lines up with the information you've actually communicated to the reader. Which might mean you need to rewrite/redraw, but it can also be an opportunity to pivot
What advice would you give an aspiring comic creator? - 🦝

Another stupid video game pitch:
Flash Gordon Metroidvania (or, if you prefer: exploration platforming action-adventue) action-RPG.
Lotta descriptors, but:
Start with three hot-swappable characters (Flash, Dale, Dr. Zarkov), get new equipment and level up as you go, expand the party w/allies.
