I think the point is to show his naïveté, not to wow the reader with the city. All we can see is four buildings, a little deserted road, and a skyline in the distance over the hill; but to someone who's been in a single building his own life, that alone is a wonder.

Even so. a metropolitan city wouldn't be this empty even a few cards and dot people would jazz up the scene more.
Think about; for the first time a person is out side in a large city. there should be people moving about lots of loud noises and so many little things going on the person would be switching from thing to thing every few seconds. however creating that kind of scene, especially with only a few panels isnt an easy task and easy to opt out.
from what i gather these people live in a time where technology is equal to or greater than our own. a city like this would not see a street void of people at least not without a "area is sectioned off" tag splashed into the story; that is my personal feelings towards this it does not change that this is still a great piece of art.

I was originally gonna have people in it, but I could only work on the background so long without losing my mind from frustration caused from pure boredom. I draw the comic because I enjoy it, once it starts getting to the point in a page where I am no longer enjoying working on it, then I know I need to stop and come back to it later.
So I set it aside as one of those pages that I intend to go back to and add more detail to it when I go over them again to get them ready for printing, for internet release though it's what I need to get the message across. It's kinda of a way of thanking people who pay to support the series while still putting out high quality images for those who want to read it for free.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the following pages have lots of that as he sees a lot of the city and the people within it when in the van driving through it. So taking a break from it on this one page *where the peopple of the city are not yet Yula's focal point* made sense as he would be obsessing over them in upcoming pages
I agree that it would look nicer like that. I was originally gonna have people in it, but I could o

A secret military installation in a bustling town centre? It's possible, but more likely to be in the industrial sector. Outside of rush hour, you won't see much foot traffic or even traffic. And who would move a high security person during rush hour?
The street is a narrow, dead-end, two-lane road. The two buildings closest look like warehouses. Those farther away look like office buildings. Nobody's going to be walking around, they're either driving forklifts or at their desks.
I might be misinterpreting, but the way I read it was that four buildings and a skyline over the rise was enough to wow our insular, provincial hero. It was MEANT to underwhelm the reader. If it had been bustling, the whole point of just how insulated he'd been would have been completely lost.
The other way to do this is to go the Mos Eisley Cantina route, where the viewer is also equally out of their depth with the weirdness of the scene, so can relate to the rustic gawking of the hero. But that just wouldn't work in a modern-day city, because we've all seen those.
So showing him awestruck by a mere dead-end industrial backstreet seems to me like a good approach.
