Kubo- Great story! I enjoyed the effects you created with the colors from pages 15-19.
Gregly- Entertaining action sequences in full color, that’s a great feat!

fantastic job you guys~!
Kubo- beautiful use o a simple palette! Very creative! I loved the silhouettes, and the black hole warping near the end! And of course, thank you for paying your respects to my terrible daughter, I miss her too, Kubo~ I know what inspired Ancile's final design, I wonder i others can tell? Beautiful job! what an amazing journey!
Gregly- Senki is so wonderful, i always love how vibrant and energetic your art is! I liked how at the end the egg hatched but only Ancile was able to witness it! If you dont win, I hope we see more of him in BBs or october!

Kubo the style is dripping from your pages, i love how effectively you used the grid for this whole tournament. The only page that was tricky sequence-wise was page nine but that vertical panel is worth it! The post-arma city is a great setting and the mascot-headed monster is pretty scary. The colors after the egg breaks are great, they're from your previous battles with Ancile which is a nice touch. Ancile's new look at the end is great and opens up the character to many possibilities going forward, nice work!
On my own comic-- I struggled with Ancile because of all the mystery, it was hard to come up with an ending or even a beginning for this comic. I had to end it with Senki being frustrated by the mysterious mysteries! I'm happy that I got a 'smashed cars' joke into each one. And the motion of the ship on page six feels good to read I think.

It was great going toe to toe with you, Gregly. I enjoyed exploring Senki’s character and had fun drawing him. I consciously made the lore around Ancile obscure until this comic so it was really cool to see what you came up with in your’s. Your story has been consistent and funny throughout. Great job!

Awesome final round the 2 of you.
Kubo: the story you told in these comics was delicious, you got me hooked from the start!
Gregly: fun colors and awesome comedy overall!

What a finale! First I want to congratulate you both, your comics have been strong from the beginning and this is quite the matchup!
Kubo - We finally have an answer! I don't want to spoil it for others but I did not expect that egg reveal. I really liked it. I'm glad Ancile's story got to be wrapped up nicely. Out of all of the characters in this tournament he was the most mysterious. I'm glad you got the chance to tell his story here. Each round you sprinkled in more and more lore and the pay off was worth it.
Gregly - Your comic is as humourous and fun as ever. I feel like you have a good feeling for characters and I like how Ancile and Senki interacted here. The annilation was also fitting for the situation and characters. RIP Ancile and poor Senki will he ever see his wife again?
Good luck to you both! I loved reading both of these.
