Default Graphic Novel I'm Making (pics)

For my English course on Graphic Novels, my final project is to make my own graphic novel. I only have the first page done so far (takes a good day to make one). Let me know what you guys think, or if you have any suggestions.

And yes, it's filled with guns and noir, how I like it.

It looks like some kind of Glock

Yeah, it's a Glock. I didn't have the time to get a good picture of a gun for reference so I drew a Glock because they're pretty simple to draw, and I have enough memory of the design to draw it well.

A big shootout is coming up so I'll have a for more guns in, and I'll do my best to draw them well.

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."
