Summer's pissed at Ray because he got an opportunity she never had, and she's under fire for Asuka's bad planning, so it's to be expected that Summer's kinda resentful of Ray in that chapter. Truthfully, its hard to blame Summer even if Ray is the protagonist.
Honestly I feel like you could have done alot more with the criticism in this review but you barely touched the points you needed for you to make a case for the comic or for why you thought Ray was a Designated Monkey. Just saying "Ray is treated so meanly" isn't really a good argument, and while he's a good artist...I wouldn't call him a good writer; You give him way too much credit than he deserves.

It has potential.
A friend told me about this comic and honestly I have mixed feelings about it. I mean it's not a bad webcomic but it still has these things that make it feel slightly hallow.
I do admire this comic because I reminds me of Marvel and DC comic books I read as a kid and has a plot that would be perfect for an anime maybe. I think the creator has an excellent art style as it has this nostalgic vibe to it. The overall illustrations resembles the style of traditional comic books from the 80's as well as having something similar to modern manga. Also having it in black and white is also a win because it adds a layer of atmosphere to the settings. It's not too complex but not too simplified, which is just fine.
The creator is also great with creating characters and their stories. It's a very unique story of a clumsy wannabe superhero who does more harm than good, but is given a chance to redeem himself when he meets fellow "neo-mutants". I like the premise so far cause I grew up reading X-Men comics and this is slightly similar.
What I don't like about the comics, is how in the early chapters, our protagonist, Ray is just getting the short end of the stick. I mean I understand this is part of the story that he makes a few mistakes and the citizens of Meva City despise him and view him as a wreckless arsonist, but geez do they really have to scapegoat him like that? Especially in chapter three when Ray is about facing serious jail time and Summer is being a bitch to him. The creator, Bo Scotty promises that things will get better for Ray, and him and Summer become best friends, but I just hope that happens soon cause I just can't stand seeing our protagonist being a punching bag.
Despite it all, Ray Fox is a pretty good read. I recommend it for anyone who is a fan of superhero comics or anime nerds. Bo Scotty is a very good writer and artist and I hope his work will go far in the future. From what I heard Ray Fo even inspired a group of younger artist to create their own comics too.
Thank you for reading -Jerry Springfield.
