Would like feedback for my horror-drama featuring kids turned into monsters.

I plan to launch a Kickstarter for my first comic early next year to cover printing costs, but I have the first 40 pages of the first book available and free to read (the rest is being produced now). It's an easy read, I don't overflow 95% of the pages with dialogue. 

Here's the link to the comic from my publisher that you can read: https://globalcomix.com/c/the-wretched.
I will say, there are a couple pages in here with lots of blood, so just be aware of that. I would more recommend this at minimum to teens and above who are okay with blood and violence.

The comic is called The Wretched. Here's a brief synopsis of it.

In the war-torn, diseased land of Rhomheim, humanity is hunted by grotesque experiments of a mad scientist called amalgams, creatures made of animal and machine. Among these horrors are four young amalgams, both playful and cruel, who must kidnap humans for their master’s work or suffer harsh consequences in their failure.

But in a world of hatred and cruelty, is there room for even monsters to grow? For when once buried emotions threaten to break through, can our amalgams suppress them and remain true to their brutal natures? Or will they succumb to becoming the thing they hate most:
Being human.

It's hard to ask before the full 70 pages of the first book are complete, but I would like some general feedback about what works well for you and what doesn't, to get a gauge on how people feel about the first 40 pages. What keeps you reading through it and wanting to read more afterward, or what it lacks that made you stop reading it at a certain point. And I mean... If there's not enough for my comic to retain attention for 40 pages, then it may be doomed, and I need to be better as a writer. lol

But hopefully that is not the case. XD

And I guess as a bonus, if you REALLY like what you've read, this is the Kickstarter preview page if you'd like more info, page and cover samples, and a very short promo video by me. :)

Looking forward to your thoughts. <3
