#9 wasn't really necessary. It wasn't funny and didn't help the story.
The comics in this series were pretty blah, although #5 and #6 were good, and #8 was quite good. I liked that you brought the reader up to speed in each comic -- thereby making them individually readable -- but you could've done it in a more graceful way than writing a little novella in each narration box.
Still, I'm happy to say you don't suck. Pretty good job.
