I'll add more thoughts later when I have more time but I had to say that I loved everyone's entries and their portrayals of the robots!

Your colors are very pleasing in this comic! I specifically really like how you drew the lava (the ben-day dot shading works well with your style) and the sound effects are really satisfying. I like that the main focus of your comic is more about the other character’s theories on Dairyu’s motivations, spending more time on how the cast sees her rather than on the fight itself. It’s a really compelling and creative approach for a story with such a powerful character!

I had a lot of fun reading all these comic! Loved all the portrayals of Songbird. I feel like Pizzaman got him the closest. It had me laughing pretty good. I loved all these though. Everyone went very hard on heavy weight!

Sorry these aren’t too in depth but here you go; Pizzaman: Loved the storytime storyline, and good job on the long scroll format! The only thing I wanna recommend is using the ellipse/circle tool for text bubbles, the odd shapes were throwing me off a bit Selevan: Excellent work on the character depictions and action, good sir! But I agree with Jelly in that there’s things left unanswered but the end of the comic. Maybe that’ll be in another comic you got planned but as a stand alone it can confuse peeps. Keep up the good work tho Jelly: Despite the fact these are sketches, they work so well as lines I had no trouble following along! Your panel work is stellar and your story amazed me, wonderful job! Fluff: I was laughing through this entire read, your comedy is always amazing! I loved your portrayal of everyone and your minimal palette~ Snowy: This has gotta be one of your most outstanding comics yet! Everything was so on-point, and I’m happy to see a different side to her than normal! Super excited to see more!

Putrid - Thank you so much! I hope the pay off doesn't disappoint when I finally get around to it, I have been enjoying showing less of Dairyu's "friendly" side and more of how the natural disaster side of her. Bobert - I'd love to fight you when we both are feeling up to it! Unfortunately the person on the first page is robo-Ancelin, not Quicksilver, though I can see how the skin color could have been confusing! I'm glad you liked my depiction of Quicksilver! Selevan - This depiction of Dairyu is her comics-canon version, in which I mean it is the version that has been through all of my comics except for the one that was about Yamato in his alternate adult version, I'm hoping that the few side comics I still need to make will make her motives more clear. Thank you for the compliments tho, I'm glad that you enjoyed how Harrison was drawn and characterized! SirJellyRaptor - Normally, I'm also not a fan of curb stomp encounters, and had I more time there would have been more to the fight choreography between Dairyu, Keito, and Quicksilver. I had to cut two pages of the fight because a couple of weeks in I was behind schedule and adjusted the remaining pages, but as you said, it became less of a fight as a result. Hopefully the story results in something that feels worth it! ItisJR - Thank you! Honestly, Dairyu is supposed to be a character who intentionally holds back to make a fight more fun, because your comparison to OPM is absolutely correct. When I joined VOID, I wanted to make comics that were more about interactions and character relations than I did for fighting and all-out brawls. There are definitely characters that can match her in fights - namely other gods, characters with god-like powers like Rickter, and characters like Rae, Kubo, and Rantu who have powers related to spirits and the preternatural, but my interest in comic-making aligns much more with slice of life and romance genres than fights as well. Thanks to everyone who's read my comic so far!

I feel like it would be hard to do a good combat centered story with Dairyu since she's so powerful. But you went with a good strategy of focusing a lot of the story on the other characters. Sort of like how One Punch Man does it. Clearly a lot of effort was put into this with the quality of the end product on display! I also liked that you seemed to experiment a lot with your panel layouts (more so than usual I think anyway!). I can say that this is definitely the best comic I've seen from you. So good job overall!

The quality on display here is outstanding. It's easy to read and it feels like all the characters get an adequate amount of screen time. I'm not usually a fan of "curb stomp" encounters, but given it's Dairyu, knowing the extent of her abilities, and with the strong character motivation she's been working with in her last few comics it makes sense that we're seeing a Dairyu that's letting go of the usual restraints. I'm interested to see what ends up coming of all this down the line.

YO this is fantastic! It feels very sharp and polished, the colours are popping and it was easy to read! I get the feeling that there is something going on, as in that this might not be our usual Dairyu and rather one of the many facets in another universe maybe? Similar to the one where the lil ferret Yamato is all grown up! I liked the characterisation of everyone, giggling kicking my feet looking at how you drew Harrison aaaaaaaaa- I also enjoyed the choreography and how the narration layered over it! Overall a very enjoyable read!

This was a cool comic to read and the colours were top notch, I definitely wouldn't mind having a battle between Quicksilver and Dairyu one on one some time in the future when conditions are more favourable, that outfit you gave Quick in the first page was also pretty nice, something I'll play around with because of his limited wardrobe. To make clear unambiguously to you and our other opponents, I am extremely grateful for everyone's depictions of my character. The artifact the conflict being centred around is an interesting choice and exciting to think about. I'd love to add more substantial comments but I'm feeling my mind scattering to multiple places, so I'll just restate that I enjoyed this comic.

Incredible effort from everyone! I've had little time to indulge in comics and art lately, so I apologize if my comments on each of the entries are brief PIZZAMAN- The stylization of some characters specifically is very fun and appealing. I liked the whole aspect of everyone telling their own story. The dynamic between characters was hilarious SELEVAN- The vougue-like cover already had me invested in what was gonna happen with Harrison. I got really excited when Harrison climbed on the train's roof to avoid crossing that door. Such a cool Western Spaghetti easter egg. I always like seeing characters be polite to others, even if they get in the way of their goal SIRJELLYRAPTOR- I'm a big fan of your art style, and regardless of your entry being considered sketches; the creativity with how you play with the panels and the line weight makes it feel as if it's inks instead. I'm always impressed with your work. Specially it (seemingly) being made with a ballpoint pen. Amazing work at dialogue, too FLUFFS - Holy shit your entry put a big ol' smile on my face lmao! The Zelda CD-i reference in the begining grabbed my attention right away. And then I read what was going on and got doubly excited! I am incredibly flattered and thankful for the cameo and references to my idiot himbo. Songbird's constant hatred for Swan will never cease to be hilarious and I love him for it. The scene with Songbird and Harrison trying to fool Dairyu was so endearing and funny SNOWY - The quality on your entry is absolutely stunning. Your inks seem to be getting even better with each comic I see from you. I really digged the expressions and body language in this! And seeing Dairyu starting to get overzealous over her family is both exciting and terrifying. These 'new' sides from her are very intriguing but I also worry about my fave air goddess- the words you ended the comic on would be very wholesome on another context. I really like how foreboding Dairyu's stories have been
