Ok so, this is my opinion based on what i have read from IWS and from the comic so far. First, i got to say after re-reading through the comic IWS up to this page . Nick and Judy breaking up is in itself a great concept, because most people seem to think that these two would have a happily ever after in this fandom. There are very few examples that do not follow that trend as far as i can tell, at least not without having either Nick or Judy sometimes both die, or making them unbelivable as all hell and ruining the experience. At least at the time when IWS had been posted.



But really, what are you trying to do with these two characters? More specifically what kind of reaction are you trying to get out of the audience, as in what do you want us to 'feel' from these characters? From what i am seeing, these two versions of Nick and Judy are two characters we are not supposed to be sympathetic too if you wanted us to feel sympathetic too one of them.







Nick we shouldn't feel sympathy for because he (justifiably) walked out on Judy after ignoring the risks of having a child with her, and has left the ZPD, and probably gone back to hustling. And possibly been annoying judy while drunk multiple times, though am doubtful he had gone back to hustling. Nick is the more sympathetic because the story from IWS ended up painting him as the victim in the end, that whole 'I'd still be on the streets without you in the world' bit really does sell that point, before he loses practically all sympathy [from me] by telling judy he should have been kept in the dark for her 'premeditated sin'
