I think the thing that really sticks out to me is the motion lines on the plane in the first panel and then again for the explosion. They are rectangular. They don't taper off. Not sure if you just did the line tool or rectangular selection, but there should be a way for both to thin out.
The other problem I've had with digital inking is wobbly lines, especially in photoshop but also in painter to a lesser degree.
My favorite part is the inking on the eyes of the pilot in the second panel. Looks crisp. Not sure if it is the thinner lines or what. The lines do get pretty heavy in the bottom panels. I'd also watch for how your line ends and begins. Last panel, the zombie with the hello i'm bill, the line that is the lower part of his left shoulder starts as a rounded line. This should prolly also tapper off as the shoulder goes into the upper arm. Maybe even curve back around.
You may want to turn up the settings on your brushes that allow for greater sensitivity for line weight. I think maybe the thinner the line with digital the less noticeable it becomes that the line never varies in width. Once it gets thick, you can really see how uniform it is.
Also watch out for overlapping lines, especially when they are perfect lines. Like in the buildings and the speed lines. Bottom panel there is a building sitting on another building. and the boom speed lines cut into the exposed re-bar.
Good stuff though man, looking forward to seeing more as you learn the ins and outs of digi-inks.

what i would try:
-to let the clothings etc look not so part of the persons who wear em ... got some language barrier here :/ (pannel 3 and 4 clothings on the woman etc.. look for me as they are actually that woman)
-dont know if its the digital inking, but this looks so ... perfect? i mean the lines are so rounded, sometimes it looks for me if u try to ink this without some improvision(?) i think that some more freestylish accents would make your inkings much more lively and would make the inkins really bring the emotions/feeling of the inked more intense to the viewer - i think some not so perfect parts of the whole often bring some taste to things
-i really would encourage you to maybe try ink with a real brush .. maybe its not your style, but i think the traditional working tools really bring some accent for themselves to art
hope i did not insult you :/ dont really know for myself to which point a inker should alter pencils, but i remember something out of a book: (something like that) "now we come to the art of advanced shadowing(?), FUCK light sources, just draw shadows that the picture itself looks good, u can be realistic but often this results in some lame stuff, or you just can make it look really badass with just looking for the best way to express this pannel without thinking about 100% realistic drawing"
try to get more flavor to your inking
to me, it let me free myself from all the worries. David Finch also says "you're only capable of doing what you can at that time"
so this page and prob the rest of my work for the next two years, will be full of flaws... and the only real reason why is lack of experience.
but I do appreciate the advice though dude, keep it coming
