If you're open to technical critiques of your art, I'd like to point out that your Glock is gigantic.

What if that guy is like 5'2 and the Glock is the largest model they make?

Criticism-wise, you seem a little too worried about having empty space in your panels; you've crammed the sky with stars and the guy's jacket with creases, and the result looks weird. Less is more, as they say.

When I originally drew it, the lack of color made it very empty looking, and I kept impulsively adding more creases and detail. Once I colored it in, it ended up being unecessary. As for the stars, I wasn't sure where and how many to lay out, so I just went crazy on the sky and hoped it'd look good.

A fellow classmate is making a graphic novel using this really expensive comic making program. I showed him and the teacher the page printed out and they asked me if I too was using it. I was like, "Hard work and photoshop, bitches."

Heh, reminds me of a picture on videogame character design: it's called "Character detail: the slippery slope."

Just got page two done. Deciding on how to color the room wasn't working well, looks like drunken water-coloring IMO. Did a smidge better with the scaling though.

Next page, the light and TV get shot, so it's all Sin City-stlye black and white.

Is the weaponry identifiable to people?
