The Santiago cross on the wall should be longer in its "lower arm", or am I wrong?

Yes, here in Spain Santiago's cross usually has a very long lower arm. Anyway it looks really cool.
And the title is simply awesome. "Matamoros" literally means "moor-slayer".

HEY UGO
I referenced a few styles of the St. James cross. We chose his one.

To me, it's the culmination of everything I've seen on this site. Best yet. Graphic design (not sure if you did it), human form, composition, the texture and crack in the wall. I also got a sense of the gun being a sword after I read snipfer's definition.

Very cool. I haven't read comics since my dad threw out all of ours when I was in Jr High. I think I'll have to relapse for this one!

The gun looks like a mix between a hunting shotgun, an m14 and garand.
Interesting

HEY JOANNA
We're gonna self-publish and sell the books at the Matamoros website. Once it's up and running, I announce all the pertinent info.
Really proud of this thing.....

Solid piece, really looking forward to the inside art and story. And the title font is very nice, very different, just right.
