RSM - Dude, I like your cartoony style, but what the Hell with Jackson? You totally lost me after page two... Just creepy... Page four had its moments, though. And I loved your elevator bit with the Mechanic at the beginning. Priceless. VC - I actually like the grays you used, whether on purpose or not. It made your work different, and made me look closer at things. Awesome work on the Mechaninc (obviously, since you know you own character...), and way kick-ass work on the zombies, and even on RSM. Good work all around. Good fight, bro's, but my votes had to go to VC. Keep it up. I'll be looking for both of your BBs in the future...

Viperchief FTW, your shading and excellent style won me over. Then your actual comic made me pee myself. (o,O)

I'm scarred to choose between the two of you on a social level. Ther's Ubo-techno-cool and Doinkish-funny... Though I may have voted one way or the other..jo-no-se' So I'm not choosing. Does that make me a Beggar?

I've always had this notion that there was a rundown area of Void where zombies run amuck and this is only made worse by Armageddon! Hope to tie some more story line into it.

rsm - the art was good, but overall.....it really didn't do anything for me. i really don't think i have to say anymore. viper - LOOOOOVED it. i really can't wait to see what happens next....you better post that BB..... XD i think.....mainly everything i was gunna say monday already said (levels, word bubbles, etc), so i won't repeat it. but yeah....i loved this fight. can't wait to see more

He was feeding the Power Up into his robotic arm in the first page, it gives it to him intravenously. I'm on the fence whether or not I want to do away with them altogether. I like the way they look but god do I hate drawing them.

I'm really curious about where Mech's powerup canisters on his mask went.

Thanks folks, I usually do darken the blacks in photoshop but time was in short supply, also the reason for the lack of word bubbles...though I tend to do that alot anyway. The first two pages are crap, I was seriously art funking when I made the challenge. Luckily I worked my way out of it by the third page. That zombie page is probably the most detailed I've ever gotten. I'm proud of this one. Are there things I would've done different? Sure, but thats why I'm here. See what works. Monkey-Got a laugh outta yours dude, especially liked the elevator scene. Funny stuff. I'll rematch you some other time, I believe I have a couple people I promised to battle before I went on hiatus. I'll let you know bud.

Woooot!! Viper - dang man, this is the best from you yet. Some of the pages were a little too empty (no backgrounds I mean), but then some of them were just fuckin' ROCK. Really great, can't wait to see more! Robo - eeeeeuuuhm. ok, well at least you didn't default, and the last two pages were silly fun. The elevator bit made me grin. Better luck next time, I thuppose.

First there was god, then came the monkey, then came the robot... On on hand Robo's art fits his trippy \"story\" and I applaud his willingness to just say \"what the hell\", but while I like me some nonsensical writing, Mike is a little played. On the other hand Viper's art is more refined and the story more coherent, but \"coherent\" is kind of a moot point considering what he's up against. On the third hand I keep inside my jacket when out in public, I can't vote yet, so let me just say good job to both of you.

I'm glad I made you smile monday! And just so people know I did the second two pages today, I wanted to have more, but I just couldn't. Viper, that was really cool, even if it is too be continued, if you want we can do a remach where you can finish and I can put out a real battle (I'm out of school wednesday so that I'll have plenty of time) If you're up for it let me know.

Robosockmonkey-dude wtf? 2 pages of content and then Michael Jackson? The second you got to him your entire battle died for me. The art was looking good but you totally dropped the bomb with that. I understand from your comment that you were working on other projects at the time which if that was the case you should have cancelled the battle. Don't depend on pop culture references to support your comic and if you're going to depend on them, try to be more up to date so it has some relevance to what is going on with the world. Viper-Be careful with your scans dude, you could have made the darks and lights pop out a lot more by adjusting the levels in Photoshop so they look more crisp and professional. Other than that the only complaint I have is the lack of word bubbles. Your inks and details are looking great dude, keep it up and use the levels tool next time and it'll look great

What the hell was this. Mechanic, your part was cool. But robosock, what the shit? I think you just plainly crapped that out.

Mines uploaded as well, I didn't get the last three pages done so had to do a \"To be continued\" but I'll have the rest up in a beyond battle in the next couple weeks. And I'm pretty proud of the pages I do have in there. Looking forward to your's too Robo, I know how those animation projects can be. Had my share of them too.
