Concession, as a whole, is all over the place. The writing is confused and meandering. For long stretches, the comic can't decide if it wants to be gag-a-day or serious drama or cosmic horrir or what. As a consequence, it suffers from an extreme case of Mood Whiplash - in some cases, if played for comedy, it actually works, but for the most part, it's just disturbing. The major characters are all incredibly unsympathetic. Villain Sue, Jerk Ass, Fetish Fuel for the author, or existing to be abused by other characters; it's always one or more of the above, for almost every goddamn recurring character. That wouldn't be so bad, but it's impossible to care about what happens to anyone. If the world would be a significantly better place if your entire cast of characters had a heart attack and died, or if you hadn't done any characterisation - well, that makes it difficult to have meaningful drama. It might work in a dark comedy. It might work in a cosmic horror story. But it requires consistency. Concession doesn't have consistency, and so it fails.
The art's nice in the later comics, though, I'll say that.
