arg I forgot to comment earlier. This comic slaps! The fusion of your styles is really cool. It was a bold choice to bring a villain duo into the heroes tournament, but you made an interesting story and it paid off. Congrats on the win, I am hype to see the next one!

siiiiiiiiiiick. the body horror was excellent, the plans diabolical, the yuri incredibly toxic. I love how you've taken the optional premise and turned it on its head, and I can't wait to see what y'all deliver in the finale!!!!

PS—I see that Ancelin branding 👀 thank you for caring about the little details 🥹

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!

Phenomenal work, simply incredible use of both the crayon colors to make shades, highlights and textures, and the occasional hard shadows (I'm always a sucker for those) that contrasted with everything perfectly. I also really like the atmosphere the plot set for Void's showbiz approach to heroism, and its consequences (kudos to Night Stalker for not buying into it), as well as the uncomfortable moment of toxic affection between Satraxia and Moth.

I also savored every page of Ash' cartoonish antics, especially the umbrella bit on page 16, and were genuinely shocked to see how it all turned into carnage right after.

Holy SHIT this was FIRE! Y'all went above and beyond with this one! Also, Satraxia and Moth are my new OTP. GOD. DAMN.

I love the yuri flesh makeout scene. the colors are amazing you both did a great job.

YURI! YURI! WOMEN KISSING! SESBIAN LEX!!!!

*ahem*

Anyways, this was an absolutely incredible entry! Footini's expressions and Doe's colors makes for such a STELLAR combo! I loved the writing here, too - each character was handled so well, and it managed to balance comedy and tension expertly.

The dialogue is really good of course, but the beats of silence are just as well-done. Stuff like Ancelin staring at the image of Moth once alone or Moth's expressions on the last page manages to say just as much as the dialogue itself.

Side note, I loved the little background gags sprinkled throughout! Stuff like the Meat Dome entrance having a dinky little lightbulb and switch and Ash's magnifying glass burning his forehead were delightful to see, lol.

I only have one small gripe - as redsky put it, it kinda felt like M2S let Satraxia and Moth off the hook rather quickly. I understand that he'd prioritize the two guys that caused most of the destruction, but I feel like he should've at least called Satraxia out on goading them into it.

But I can totally understand why that didn't happen, though - it would've just added in another page, and 23 full-colored pages is already an INSANE output! I'm honestly surprised that this was the only part that felt a little bit flat - the rest of it managed to keep up its quality super well.

Amazing work! I really hope that I get to see what's next for these two :D

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.
