Ranzombie: I thought this would be a short one from the icons. I WAS MISTAKEN. This was a real emotional roller coaster that brought in your opponents into a major character story. I'm amazed how neat and readable your pencils are, too.
Brabbit: .... 65 pages?! I mean, sheesh, you have the content for it, but... dang. There's like five storylines in here and you bring in so many characters. It even has an epilogue. I want to say 'Hey, feel free to not write an epic so you can focus more on the artwork," but... how can I fault you for going all the way like that?
Cab : HE PUNCHED THE DOG. The crayon-y drawings are a fun visual shorthand. It is a bit odd when it's right next to non-crayon, but it kinda works. Don't really know what it represents, but I like it. Your dedication to bring everyone back is admirable. It even took a while just to get to the characters involved in the fight. It does get a little rushed near the end, but it's still admirable how much you did in such a short amount of time.

wow can I just say well done to everyone! These were some of the most entertaining comics I've read on void. I'm also SO impressed by how everyone handled such a big cast of random characters, you all pulled it off really well.

GodDAMN y'all this was a good set of comics. All of your comics really FELT like finales, especially with all the cameos and callbacks and flashbacks that got included.
Ranzombie: I absolutely LOVED those first-person POV flashback panels, like damn. Those aren't easy to pull off but you did an amazing job. And I fuckin love Stein so much. I do also love how you went into the drawbacks Stein would obviously have in facing off against the witch trio. Even though I'd love to see what you can do with a full colored comic, your pencils are always so expressive that I don't find myself really missing color, tbh!
Brabbit: Man, I'm always a sucker for these kind of hopeful storylines, and the idea of a book that's sole purpose is to attach itself to tragedy is such a neat idea. Plus, I really love the Corrupted Craven design you came up with, it's hella rad!! I think my only critique would be how long it took to get to the real meat of the story; after the first ten or so pages I found myself wondering when we'd get to this round's story, because the first chunk of the story felt like it was more of like... stuff that should've been in last round? Like what I said to Ran, I really hope we eventually get to see a fully finished comic but man this is a seriously amazing amount of pages and quality for just a week.
Cab: A beast as always! What a good conclusion to your story, oh man. I absolutely loved the pacing you had, and the switching between the mansion and the rest of Void. It honestly felt like a movie! if I had to pick a critique, it would be that I think you used a few too many of those "reminder" panels--it's good to remind viewers of things that happened like a chapter ago, but reminding the readers twice of the same event that happened just a few pages ago (the flashback scene for Past Hekate) feels a bit... hand-holdy, for lack of a better term? That said, man, serious congrats to you for pulling this off in a week. What a good near-apocalypse.
Congrats again to all three of you, it was seriously a joy to read these.

These are all great and I love them all. You all had amazing runs and did so much. In a 1 week deadline you all have consistnetly produced so much quality content is' fantastic and all your stories have been really good and I don't know what else to say.
You all choose story over refining the comics and i that is so bold and often different than what tends to happen on void. you all even then still went all out in ways i can't even fathom even with that doing insane page counts.
All these stories had great emotional cores and I'm glad you all got to tell them and really hope to see more from all of your cause this was a fantastic treat I'm glad to have read. You're all winners and should be proud of what you have accomplished so far and I hope you all have the desire to create more and not stop here.

I needed so much time to process the INSANITY of all that! You guys are amazing! AMAZING! NOTHING short of amazing!
Ran, Stein is just so cool and his past BREAKS my soul! I also have been in LOVE with how you do perspectives and backgrounds, the way you do the artstyle imitation for other characters (takes a crazy amount of skill), and how clean your lines are even when you don't line! The fight scenes are super cool and easy to follow, and I'm in love with how expressive everyone is! Bravo, BRAVO! You clearly deserved a spot in the finals!
Brabbit, the power of love and friendship between Kit and Jade honestly heal me so much! I love them to itty bits! And you draw them so well with both the expressions and posing that I spent half of the comic just slack jawed in awe and adoration! The fight scenes were cool, the storyline was amazing, and IN ONLY A WEEK YOU MADE 65 PAGES! God, you really KILLED it here in the finals!
Cab, you are a comic making MACHINE! You put so much personality in EVERY character you draw, so much that I got so attached to Annabelle as well as your main characters! (Dario I'm on the fence about) Craven has so much story, so much purity, and so much heartbreak that really makes me want to jump into the comic and hug him! As usual your backgrounds are HELLA detailed and even when you were running out of time, everything was still clear to see down to the emotions even WITHOUT the extra details you usually add! This was one hell of a ride of a story, and technically you made like 60 pages too which is *MIND BLOWN*
