Mecid: Your comics have been, and always will be, the most amusing reads on this site -in my opinion- and it\'s not \'cause NB is part of the Good Guys, it\'s \'cause your timing and sense of humor are just perfect. I swear, your stories crack me up every time and are always a blast to read- and as always, I love your style. It\'s thick and bold, but not stiff. Very much fun all around and omg I love Nowhere Boy. ;3; Poor lanky bastard.
Sandpuppeteer: I personally thought this one was a little lacking story wise. I love your art and style, but it just seemed kinda... empty all around. The dialog was so-so and the fight felt very forced. Crawford\'s power is a little vague, but I still look forward to seeing what you do with it. In all- it was still a decent battle, just not up to par with what I\'ve seen you pull off in the past. :3
Thanks for the amusing fight you two, this was awesome. <3

mecid: XD -insert face here- I do so love the humor in this comic. Crawford in the punch panel on page 9 seems a little stiff but I think Nowhere Boy\'s crumpled position makes up for it all the way. Wish it was all colored but you can\'t have everything. Very nice inking there. Backgrounds are great. Story-line is very entertaining. Excellent work.
sandpuppeteer: Pretty sweet coloring here. The tone it sets really matches Crawford\'s attitude. I thought it was a little strange that both their hair was the exact same shade of orange. . . but that\'s just nitpicking. I felt the story was a bit bland, but Crawford\'s new power picks up the slack. I really must say I can\'t think of anything else to criticize.
Fabulous comics you two.

Very good, from both of you!
Mecid: I love your battles. I think your backgrounds and perspective shots are just absolutely fantastic. <3 Your dialog was really hella fun, though I did notice a few typos here and there. (Our=/=Out) I wish you had been able to color it all, as the color pages were great. All in all, I enjoyed the match.
Sandy: I really am overly fond of Crawford, you do realize that, right? He\'s just... such a grumpy bear... <3 I loved the washed out water-color-ish coloring... but I HATED the hard-to-read washed out text bubbles and text. Aside from a few errors in the bubble direction, their placement was also a little odd. I think the only other suggestion would be to perhaps vary up your panels a bit to make it more.. interesting to the eye.
All in all... Fun! <3

Correction: Page 3, panel 6. The second text bubble should be said by Nowhere Boy, NOT Crawford.

Uploaded. Though only three pages colored cause I\'m the slowest colorist in the world. I\'ve been spoiled by the unlimited time provided by beyond battles.

Approval Committee
I\'ll try some crit for youu
Mecid, I love trendy bat and emo walrus. those assholes. um some figures/poses look awkward, but damn you got backgrounds nailed, I\'m jealous. those buildings and perspective waaugh amazingg. those coloured pages were pretty sharp too, props on those. ps is that a tiny finn cameo? :3
Sand, your colours were pretty as well, but again some awkward looking figures in a few places. the semi transparent speech bubbles prolly weren\'t the best choice, but I had no trouble reading them myself. the story left a little to be desired, but now I\'m curious about Crawford\'s powers, ooh aah!
