The idea of starting media-res is cool and intriguing, but I feel like it is brought down here for one reason.
Normally I don't comment on the art of comics I give feedback. Since art is something that can be improved over time, so not much of a point to it (Think Attack on Titan manga's art in Chapter 1 compared to the final chapter).
Still, I think this time having pictures of he comic done by hand, with the original dialogue bubbles and all, is very distracting and end up making the whole thing feel messy. Mixing both hand drawn and digital assets is a cool concept, just the execution felt a bit lacking in here.
Not to mention the inconsistency of the bubbles themselves. Some begin with a capital letter, other's don't. Some panels even have a hand bubble and a post-edit bubble with different dialogue in them.
I feel like you should clean up the art to make it a bit less distracting. This way the reader can focus on the story, not how weird the panels look. But the start is solid enough to have them keep reading once you go past that.
