"it's" as in ""This is how it's done" needs an apostrophe since it's a contraction of "it is."
You've got a long way to go, young man. (don't worry, I'm around your age, and I'm partially saying this to myself as well)
I wouldn't try making a comic book 50+ character epic with over a thousand images yet. You're young. Like me, you're not ready to tell a huge story. Pracitce, and refine your skills. Right now, your images are too scattered, and composition isn't very clear for the reader.
If you're serious about becoming an artist, I'd say drop the project, and just have fun in the process of practicing. I've stupidly started big projects before, and it's a really bad idea. Trust me from experience.
HOWEVER, if you don't aspire to be a professional artist, there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. Just have fun with this if that's the case.

Careful with the use of gradients. If you don't know what you are doing they just set your work off as that of a beginner. It's easy to fall in to the trap.

Well, you're skills definitely need refining. I'd be doing you a gross disservice if I told you that following through with this style is a good idea. The gradients really do give you're drawings a very unprofessional and even infantile look. If I never saw another gradient in my life, it would be too soon. But besides that, I feel you should learn some basic skills such as life drawing, good line quality, etc. As of right now judging from the drawings i've seen it looks like you're (no offence) a kid who found learning to draw from life a bore so you hopped on a computer and quickly invented a style that you will probably not break from for some time, without any background in design or any research of the like. Don't get me wrong, I respect all the hard work you put into this project. I would love to see what you could accomplish with that effort, if mixed with the propper skills and understanding. There's lots of good books out there on the subject, don't neglect the knowledge at your fingertips. Learn all you can, get better and better. Good Luck;)
Thxs for all the help and comments.
For one thing I no the grapics are not like real life and the drawings need work but unluckly i have to sue powerpoint to draw every thing, which limits what im doing...ALOT. Im hopeing get better software for my B-day but untill then there's a limit to what i can do.
Secondly i like my grapics (I have slightly inproved them since the last post) there not ment to be 100% humon like (for example the little kids in the cartoon have no hands on purpose) the grapics are more for "fun" then realistic.
Thxs for all the comments some really helped
