Honestly, what a fun idea for an artist battle! Everybody's entries were an absolute treat to see.

SirJellyRaptor: Honestly, your art style is always such a treat for me to look at so I might be a bit biased here, but your entry was stellar! The colors and linework really stood out to me. The tone and hints of worldbuilding were exciting, too - I could totally picture myself reading or watching it regularly if it was a show or a movie!

TRM: A funny and cute little comic! I've always been such a sucker for evil little guys in happy and healthy relationships, lol. I could easily imagine this as a sort of comic strip series, following the couple.

ItizJR: YOOOO this looks incredible! Every page of this is absolutely OOZING with style - the way that you make each panel pop out in my memory is an absolute marvel.

Mixiemon: I'll be honest, your entry was so fun and silly to me that it'll probably be the entry that I'll think the most about over the next few months, lol. The character designs are so crazy and cool and every bit of the comic is dripping with personality that I can't help but love it!

Cab: This was such a silly and campy pitch that I can't help but smile reading it :] My only experience with Duck Tales is via the reboot, but this still perfectly falls in line with its tone. Maybe I'm just a sucker to comics/homages to past versions of the artist, lol.

DoeFr: GOD, what a somber (yet absolutely stellar) comic. This is the one that I honestly want to know more about the most. Something that I've appreciated in your characters for a while now is how you'd occasionally branch out to representing other cultures and different time periods. The paneling in page 3 also stood out to me the most here - overall, phenomenal work!

Raltz: A short and silly little comic! The TOS bit at the last page honestly got a chuckle out of me. Would love to see every detail of their argument, lol.

Dekkard: An interesting little introduction! The first line and the description makes me wonder if the main character himself is the reason why the whole world is in the throes of an apocalypse, or if it caused something else.

Simple in style but complex in depth and emotion, especially in there current times of unknown certainties of tyrannical presidents who might attempt to bring back colonialism on a global scale (like trying to take Greenland or Panama), Oops I might be showing my current dislike of a current orange politician, okay I'll reel back my personal politics and say this comic while short, was quite powerful in it's tone and message of humanity's dark past with trying to subjugate those it deems to call inferior to themselves, the only drawback here is that the abrupt ending feels us guessing where this story could go, and if history does repeat itself, this short won victory might not last long enough for him or the readers to enjoy it. tl;dr- This comic gots me thinking and critically analyzing society, which means it moves me, great job Doefr.

Like Mixie said, this setting and theme is pretty fresh in the comic space, which is always nice to see. And your artwork is always a treat to look at! You've captured a very compelling moment here and it makes me want to know more..not just about what happens next, but what got us here to begin with. If there was a thing I thought this comic might do better with it'd be a bit more contrast in some of the more detailed panels, but it's a very minor critique

I love this set up, great setting that isn't done enough in stories and not done enough in ways like this. Some bigger establishing shots of like a town under colonial pressures and the colonial forces would be nice to help establish the stakes.

This was pretty cool, I wish it was a little bit longer.
