I like where your style is going here.  I agree with Angie regarding the lightening of the tones in the background to create a greater sense of depth.  I would add however that you'd benefit from watching your line widths overall.  I think you said you're just trying out the brushes, and I think it's a good look even at the start, but you might want to mix it up with pens at the same time for some finer, more detailed lines moving forward.  I think the combination will help you to keep everything from getting jumbled up.  Also, plan out your perspective a bit more even in regards to your characters, not just backgrounds.  In the panel where the bird guy starts flying away from Mr. Awesome, he should be larger since he's closer to the camera.  All in all, I do like this look though and the comic was good.  I think Awesome is a fun character too.  Nice work.

angieness: I like the expressive work you have been doing lately, but sometimes I have a hard time telling what is foreground and what is background. For instance, on the first page the sky and the ground are the same tone, making the sky just a little lighter would have helped there be a more clear separation between the two. The problem persists throughout most of the comic. Definitely keep working with those brushes though, the expressiveness works very nicely for you.

Thanks a lot for poiting that out - accidently my girfriend told me the same thing, but since she didn't use the sandwitch I reacted defencifly and told her to "go away".
The reason why tone variation is so messed up is because I'm not used to the medium. To be honest the biggest reason why I can improve is because thanks to art school my ideology is changing e.g. I wouldn't consider trying out new methods two years ago.
When I get to finish Awesomre Revege part 2 it will be all done like that but I won't be messing around with color shemes since my girfriend told me it looks better - if she only knew how to tell me that without ripping me anew one XD

I think one thing you should do is count head body ratios. that's usually a trick to get the basic hights and proportions correct.

Sorry Fern that I didn't use your character, but the role would be the same.

Awesome brushes! Also thanks for the cheezy quotation at the end ;)

I'm pretty impressed with they way you did this, this style is definitely you. It works for the type of stories you're dealing with. In terms of the style you previously used, I think doing master copies of your favorite comic book styles can be beneficial in order to get that Cape Comic feel to it.
