Great work from both of you!
BSLuGeth, I loved your interpretation of Agent Black. I feel like you really let yourself explore the character, that\'s vital. The beginning almost feels like it might be Monday\'s work. Personally, I thought that you did a fantastic job in that area.
Sometimes, though, I was not always fond of your use of space. For example, on page 7, I feel like your contrast and composition are a bit clunky (perhaps rushed or just not deliberately thought out) and it feels off with the preceding pages. Now, it is true that you are revealing an important bit of information, but I feel that you could overwhelm the reader (as AB is being overwhelmed) in a much more affective manner. Nonetheless, I really liked it.
Monday, you have a fantastic sense of story and drama. You just know how to compose an interesting story, and this battle really shows that off. Additionally, I really like that you\'re perpetuating AB\'s story in a really integrative manner - but I\'m not sure if it clunks the story a bit. Your first page, after the cover, really gives us that classic last page first mystery - which is really a great way to engage - but the opening with Yumi-chan and the gun, and the going crazy, it didn\'t jive with me nor justify the extra pages. Perhaps the connection wasn\'t clear to me. Additionally, I LOVE your frenetic paneling - but sometimes it just comes out like commotion, and because I don\'t UNDERSTAND the specifics all the time, I lose appreciation for your effort. I agree with the above comment that your panels can be confusing - but I think that\'s due more to a lack of clarity in the represented images, rather than your actual layout.
Just a couple of comments, I hope they were not unwanted.
Again, I loved both of them - this is a close battle!

Absolutely BRILLIANT work from the two of you.
Your styles play off of each other so well, I\'m not surprised how similar your stories ended up. I give the edge to Monday by a hair, however, if for nothing else than a damn impressive load.
I want to see more.

I gotta say, amazing stuff from both of you... but Monday, I had some trouble following what was going on. I read it twice, but I still can\'t figure some of it out. Some panel sequences are very vague and a little confusing.

Monsiuer monday, you\'ve made my head explode. Everything\'s so packed with detail in action, it\'s overwhelming in that bittersweet way brainfreezes are. That story\'s exquiste, mine\'s so weak in comparison, I\'m embarrassed. You\'ve got this one.

That story . . . was absolutely gorgeous. And the expressive art form , if I may say so , gets the side of Black that I haven\'t treaded on to an extreme. Thanks . Its a shame that I lost the original text to the challenge conditions I sent you when making my battle.

bslu, your ability to pull off movement and drama in such simple, quick drawings is very very nice. a very entertaining fight.
monday, you continue to amaze as well. could have been more concise and less confusing, but christ, man. epic. my vote\'s to you, by a bit.
these are, for sure, my two favorite newish characters. and i intend to fight both of you eventually. fantastic comics here.
