Thanks for the advice. I must admit, this first page was made a year ago, and the next page was made much more recently, and as such, a lot has been improved. I will definately see what I can do about showing the latest comic on the first page, although the main reason I decided to do that would be to prevent spoilers for new readers, because the story will be quite twisty in places. However, if it is generally ill-advised to do this, then I will change it.
I just figured the "latest update" thing would've been fine, but evidently not. Also, I will definately see if I can find the books you reccommend.
EDIT: And now I have changed the front page.
Is that better?
Also, just in case you picked up on site issues that I didn't, feel free to comment on any issues you find. I'll be sure to work on them ASAP.
