I'm not quite sure what was going on or, mainly, why Robert was saving Eights from Oinko? But, it was very pretty :D
Your painting seems to be getting a lot cleaner and it's looking great!

gee golly jeepers! aaaaahahahaha!!

pretty awesome Air. Very consistent use of your style had a nice polish to it. Pretty cool for a segway, I like the "what I should have done" style change. Throughout Pg. 2 I feel the sound effects were workin it well, but they seemed sort of awkward/out of place in other areas. Not sure why, I guess on pg. 2 they follow the flow of action well. Also not feeling the transparent-y bubbles/boxes. I feel that opaque white might have been too much, some increase in opacity would look a little nicer/readable imo.
Really like how you depicted Andrew's powers. thumbs up.

Bornloser-  It's dated to me because it's just been hanging around for awhile.. especially since I've been drawing alot over the summer! Thanks though, I appreciate the comment.

AmazingDavid-  The whole deal about 'underestimating the reader' was pointed out to me by another VOIDer a while back who was a veteran on the site. I believe he basically told me to 'spoon feed' readers because they easily get confused trying to read through a comic. The audience varies in how well they can interpret a comic, though. I honestly don't like to underestimate readers and assume they can comprehend the comic without me deliberately telling 'em what the hell is going on...  yet I have changed my habits since receiving that comment.. and now the reverse is being told. Uh oh. I'll have to find some middle ground here.
 I'm genuinely glad to hear you're the type of person that can figure these kinds of things out, though. I'm going to have to give some thought to how to resolve any further confusing paneling issues and controlling some of the amount of details. Thanks for the feedback!

AnthonyBaiz - ... I'm afraid I don't get the rubber chicken with soup joke. If it was something you told me awhile back, I apologize for forgetting. Thanks though!

Spaceninja- Glad to see you drop by and leave a comment, thanks! I really want to finish our battle too. I'm still pretty excited for it.

I already told you I thought this was great but I'll say it again--Awesome backgrounds and energy in your panels. I hope we can finish our battle at some point, I've really been looking forward to it!

Yeah I got that this was the end of your previous battle...but I guess...if you arent reading the comments section...and are super new to void then it might be a bit confusing...

As I am not retard I figured that shit out fine.

I thought the story telling and dialogue in here was great...on par with your last battle (although that seemed a bit more planned out) Something that seems to be a trend in your comics is over stating the situation.  Sometimes you do it by showing too many actions on the page or by having too many or useless bubbles or captions eg PG 2 where he exclaims "Oh the bridge.." or the last page where you explain what a kiwi is. Don't under estimate your reader.  Granted for the last page I didnt know it was a Kiwi (I thought it was like some weird fat chicken) but I got the point that this bird was flightless and it was still funny.

I still find some of your panel layouts a bit overwhelming and confusing there is so much stuff going on its hard to focus on a single thing in any panel and it become just a malaise of colors and lines.  In your last battle you were creating those quiet spots (albeit unintentionally) with the unfinished portions, not fully rendered or colored parts. There was a greater sense of depth and the action as well as the dialogue was easier to follow. At this point I think that would greatly improve these pages...otherwise great go of it...I wish I knew how to color like this...high points for quality and creativity...entertainment took a hit simply because I found the panel to panel transitions a bit muddled and confusing both color and action wise

To me it was obvious that it was the sequel to something else but I never felt confused.

The artwork is dated? I doubt you could have improved more than a little bit in just a month and it looks great anyways. I wish I could someday get my digital coloring that nice looking.

ZigZagZero- I appreciate it dude, thanks yo.

MichaelHarris- Sorry about the lack of a disclaimer, I did mention in comments that it was supposed to serve as an Epilogue to the previous fight and a Prologue to the next, and did mention Andrew's name. In case there is more confusion, I recommend any future commenters to look Andrew up as well as my previous fight.  
The full shot of the giant robot is prevalent in my previous match. I thought it wasn't necessary to include another full-bodied shot in here.
I'll figure out something better for the transparent word bubbles, they were kind of experimental, anyway. Thanks for your comment!

um... what the heck is going on? It would have been nice to know that the guy in the beginning was Andrew so I could at least go look him up. Without that knowledge we just see some random guy walking around talking to himself then something(giant robot? spaceship?) destroys a bridge. Without knowing about Andrew I had no idea what the question mark thing was and that was kind of annoying. Was Robert inside the thing? or was he destroying it? I like the concept-art type style but it really gets cluttered up sometimes.

 I really wanted to see a full shot of that gaint robot/red eye thing, because all we see a red eye and then its immediately rubble. I would have like to see an in between shot, it just seemed odd to me to be able to destroy something so big, so thouroughly in such a short amount of time.

the transparent word balloons kind of took away from some of the readability in places too

anywho, maybe some of the clarity issues could be solved by a disclaimer page, explaining stuff for people who didn't read the previous battle. I enjoyed the art though. Thanks for posting this!

This is supposed to serve as an interlude comic between the Eighty-Eight fight (Epilogue of) and my Andrew fight (Prologue of). It wasn't originally intended as a BB, but as I had the battle against Spaceninja laid out, I realized the fight could do without this portion, and split it into 2 parts. I've had this finished and on the backburner for ages since June-July so the artwork is kind of dated. You don't need this to understand the Andrew battle or the Eighty-Eight fight.
