Oh gee, that looks familiar. It did make a great ad though.
"Yes Kids, don't do drugs at home! ..Especially not those pop-rocks you brought home from the rave".
That one leg isn't as robust or forward as it should be, but this is still a pretty wild scene.
(and yes, it's my favorite too.)

Perspective issues? Huh. I had a lot of trouble on Sammy, so I used a 3D model for pose/perspective reference. Guess I didn't do it quite right.

Anatomical issues. Sammy's leg connects to her butt cheek. I'm guessing you took a shortcut and drew a skirt but no pelvis. What kind of model are you using anyhow? One of those wooden hinge-pinned bowling-pin people?
These days I would imagine there must be a free web site which generates wire-frame poses and camera angles for a variety of body-types. If you find one, don't get hyped up on having to buy their $200 version with flesh, adjustable lighting, and shading.
How much work is it in your format these days to edit such a thing? I'd say to let it go, except that this page is your coolest so far in M/M, and being used as your site ad.

No, not a mannquin, a 3D model on the computer. I get it in the right pose and rotate it into the right angle and use that as a reference. It's a nude model with all the joints included, not a collection of geometric shapes that form into the vague resemblance of a human.
Editing? After it's already colored? To redraw a panel after completion means I'll have to not only redraw and re-ink that panel, but I'd have to re-color and re-shade the whole page. That's why, even when you pointed out other anatomy and perspective issues, I haven't gone back even once to edit it. If I were actually making money off this comic, that would be a different story. If I ever complete a volume-sized chunk of Mirror/Mirror and get it published, I will go back and edit a few things.

I love their painting on the wall.
Good story gesture with Whats-her-name.
The white space Fox is in poorly conveys being locked in dark attic with a supernatural mirror, though it does effectively isolate his self-concern.
Said what? This is why bookmarks which dump you on the last read page would be good. Oh wait, nothing there either. Last thing I have him down as saying is "That can't be good" or maybe "...". How does that account for him still being there? - Oh Frik, he's not still there. Kinda missed that part.
Nice shadows.
Wee site complaint. Your Begin Last Next End buttons should be logically obvious enough, but I'm never sure, and have clicked on Begin when I only meant to go back a page. When one does something simple, it feels like the blatant button should be the one to click. So my tastes would be for double-arrows o arrows against bars.
Good page.

o.o; It's a geometric shape, dude. Every single time the mirror appears, I paste a sketch of it in and resize it before inking it. Helps me avoid distorting it or adding the wrong amount of curvy things on the sides.
I've done the shadow thing on pages 18, 27, and 28. It's most obvious on this page, though. Meep. Sometimes I think I'm being way too subtle with these things.

Actually, what makes it feel like its copy and pasted is the fact that you layered it over the panel before it. It actually makes for a deceiving transition between panels.
If you want a lay over to create a transition, you want it to start form the panel before then move into the next. (UNLESS your setting mood, which is what you did on the second panel)

Hmm. Now, a question... This would entail a few hours of work... Do you think I should go back and change people's noses to be more like the style used in the Mirror/Mirror Flash? If I'm going to change it, I should change it before I make too many pages, because I don't want to do that annoying thing where I switch artistic styles every 40 pages.

If you feel you can apply it without redrawing all 28 pages. (edit it via photoshop copy paste or tablet draw) Then yeah I don't think it would hurt.
However, if you feel like you need to redraw it from the start, than no. You've given enough evidence that they have noses. If you want to have said noses show more, then I suggest you simply start adding it in.
To be perfectly honest, this whole web comic thing should be looked at as a learning experience. Let your development show as the comic gets better. A lot of web comics get better as time goes on, naturally.
