a mega comic overload, a comic palooza of heroes here, all three teams made amazing stuff, with such incredible artwork this was truly a hard decision for me to vote on which team advances to the next round, regardless of who does continues you were all great artists who made some mind boggling crazy good comic pages y'all.

Good work everyone!! I’ll try and add more in depth comments when I have the energy for it, but for now, know you made some good comics!

Reading this comic was such a fun rollercoaster, starting metal as fuck, going to comic banter then eldritch body horror, and keeping that beat flawlessly through the rest of the comic. I for one also really liked the textured background from the first and last pages. For me, it left the feeling of starting in an oozing cavern of a fleshy deity, then ending on a vacated stone room once the god was defeated and gone, nicely tying the story start to finish.

And I really liked those goofy cultists every time the showed up in a panel. Crazy how much personality and expression you managed to give each one of them. Though, none of them beat Ash' grin on page 18. Downright diabolical smile, yet feels very much in character. All other facial expressions on the other main characters were great too, especially the perpetually exasperated minotaur.

This was a fun action comic, I like what you did the with the villain and the heroes going against them.

The yummy thick lines MMMMMMM. Good action, loved how everyone was utilized! Some very fun, great looking panel work here!

I remember you guys posting that you had finished this like a week before the deadline, which is insane to me. Tons of great art in here, dynamic action and fun little character interactions! My only criticism is the lack of backgrounds. I think even one or two panels establishing the scale of the situation would have gone a long way to elevate this. Great work overall! BTW, fun little callout towards the end there, almost feels like a challenge :)

A super fun entry! I love how expressive and fluid the linework was here, it really felt like the highlight of the whole comic. The framing on some of the pages really stuck out to me - page 12 is the absolute strongest, having such a strong composition flowing throughout the whole piece.

I do have a gripe, though - the backgrounds feel like they could've used more time. Normally I don't really mind a lack of background or vague hints of a background (I do that all the time myself), but here, it felt like it could've really benefited from having a bit more detail in at least a couple of panels. We really don't get a scale of space or size without it, which impacted the action for me - the whole just felt kinda empty, like I could hear their shoes squeaking on the floor if I was there. Even something small like adding a few torches along the walls would've helped make the whole place feel more grounded/utilized.

Also, there's a 99.9% chance that this is just a me thing, but the blood god felt kinda small throughout the comic? I'm guessing this ties into my gripe about the backgrounds - since we have no sense of scale for the environment, we can't picture what they'd fully look in it, either. Even then though, I got the sense that they were kinda big, sure, but I felt like it could've been pushed further. Maybe something like a shot closer to the blood gods' perspective and having the rest be super tiny could've helped solidify them as a massive force, which would've made the fact that they manage to take the blood god down feel more impressive.

Those were only a couple of issues that I had with this comic, though. Other than that, I honestly really enjoyed it! The blood god had such a cool design, and several of the jokes really hit for me. Loved how you utilized Duskarios as well!

Night Stalker not wanting to be seen as just a lowly vampire was super interesting to see, and Ash's toon antics were fun! I love their dynamic so much <3

Also that last page caught me so off guard omg- I had to stop myself from bursting out laughing at 2 in the morning when I first read it LMAO

Everyone put up a good showing here:

Radji and Raltz: You do a good job of conveying the anti-hero antihero's worldview, the "heroes" in this one really are causing unnecessary carnage with their petty squabbles.

Also Fish has guns!?

Dekkard and Durianknuckle: A well put together action scene,the art is beautiful, and a lot of the gags land well. However, unlike the rest, there isn't really a lot of character development or plot to speak of. You get the characters down, sure, but there isn't much being done with them.

Doefr & Footini: The combination of Footini's clean lineart and Doe's painterly colors creates a really striking effect, and the body horror makeout session magical girl transformation (Never thought I'd say those words together) is really gorgeous and unsettling and visceral. And the character writing is on point. Everyone feels like they have their own part to play, perfectly in keeping with established characterization. My one gripe is that it feels like M2S gets turned away from Satraxia and Moth a bit too easily.

and fish.
