Bobert: Bummer that writer's block came around, but what you have so far is pretty nifty! The pastor telling little Kurdis to never ever listen to rock music got a chuckle out of me, lol.
Snager: Absolutely LOVE the experimentation here! It made this comic an absolute visual treat to go through. Loved your line work and colors as always too :]
Bobert- I love seeing traditional comics! The use of spot blacks helped add a lil drama to the comic, and I know it's been said, but I really liked that alien transformation on page 3 so much I gotta point it out again.
Snager- I started reading without realizing what you were going to do with the mixed media, and it felt like I tripped down a rabbit hole. I might have lost the plot, but I still found myself wanting to keep turning the pages to see what comes next. Personal taste, but my favorite variation was page 15
This battle feels SO gonzo and unique, both were interesting reads.
Bobert- I liked the spot blacks, especially how you used them for the church on the first page; this stylised approach works nicely for your art. Page three was straight up cool as hell.
Snager- Experimental and expressive are words that spring to mind. Did the story engage me personally? Not really, but this is likely down to taste. I get the vibe that you make comics for yourself, in a way that appeals to you, and I really can't fault that.
My comics keep on losing irregardless of how complete or incomplete they are. I only obtained one legitimate victory by a fluke and so I have long concluded that you can literally never please anyone and that my only concerns should be to gradually eliminate art flaws and comic flaws. Because nobody comes out making good pages when they first start and so it's better to at least have fun with it.
Oh shit kurdis. You went wild with the experimentation and I loved it lol! The part where they just became symbols was so creative.
Bobert, I see the passion and the effort you put in on your part. So it sucks that I have a hard time getting invested in your stories. You're just missing that secret sauce which, when it clicks, will be a game changer.
So this was insane and beautiful and insane again. Love the different styles between pages. It all felt very scattered and strange, like some artsy 70s animation. There were times the style changes were really striking, like when Sanguine falls into the well. It was scary, kind of like how the return the slab guy from Courage the Cowardly Dog was scary because his art style contrasted the rest of the scene. It came together really coherently too, which I gotta give props for. I wasnt expecting something this stylistic and image forward to come together into a legible plot. Great work!
I like Kurdis' expression on the bottom of page 1. You captured Kurdis' eccentric and odd personality with very little dialogue. Good work, especially on that crazy alien!
I was thinking and thinking. Needed to get my thoughts out but ran into articulating all of my ideas, so this reads as extra esoteric but on the other hand I feel that if I explained the confusing parts here the mystique would vanish.
I can kind of see what you meant with struggling to write the ending, because it felt a bit anti-climactic there. Strongest points here were the start with Simon's Doctor Seuss-esque aesthetics and the middle part where you began to gradually add more and more paints and other kinds of papers and art materials. Also the page with the Hebrew is commendable, even if it became a horrible struggle to identify the different niqquds added to each letter, major props for that!

I lost but I finally got a score that I don't think I hate for once, even though it's not particularly high either.

That alien transformation was craaaazy man, very cool design.
I REALLY enjoyed the changes of styles along the comic Snager! Loved how experimental it was. Keep the good work man.
His crystal eyes looked so beautiful. 19 pages is a lot!
reading it was like going on a journey.
I liked the UFO drawing. I wonder what the full experience would’ve been like
