I wasn't sure if it was okey for me to show Goldilocks as Bob would have to interact with her of ignore her after beating her bears which would make me draw one more page and random bear fighting would prolong.
While I understood what you were going for on the last page there isn't a lot of context. It really does seem like a random battle between Bob and Bears in the park, which is a wacky idea in it's own right, but I think you would have been better served by including Goldilocks in the background or something to connect the ideas. Since the bears are all stored under her skirt or whatever.
The comic was fine. Dialogue was good. Everything lined up pretty well for me.
The only thing weirdin' me out a bit is the sudden slight shrinkage of Awesome's waist in the last page compared to his depiction in the previous two pages. Other than that, good work Wolcik.

I got that, it just seemed odd because there wasn't much more that was elaborated on their history together, aside from the fact that they know each other.
That is their relationship. They talk to each other in a park occasionally. I don't think it needed much elaboration.
It made more sense than your comic.
I skipped the first date part, as Bob has been to Void for over a year and with so few battles he had it would be impossible to show what he does every day - he might as well be trying to be a paramedic on moon and give mouth to mouth to moon craters XD

Yeah, They used to know each other till Beast got killed off in Arma - I though that it was cleared by "every day" and "see ya tomorrow" that they meet regurally.
I guess it wasn't clear enough.
At first I wanted Awesome just to stumble upon Beast while walking armless in the park, but since I took that idea and used it vs Salvadore I changed the script.
I assumed that Beast's wolfs are connected to the same source as Princess as she was the one to take revenge and he shouldn't be harmed before that.
The idea was that Bob would become more sane while next to Beast, and Beast wouldn't be agitated and agresive while around Bob. I failed at that since I made them both crazy, and food joke wasn't that funny - maybe there should be ticikles.
Just before posting this I had an idea that Bob could dream of how he protected the city from Armageddon himself - but that would be too long and I'd never finish that.
I'm sorry for using such readable for Awesome. They both suppose to talk crazy and their dialoque being unreadable would be just fine XD
michaelharris - Well, the Beast is one of characters from Armageddon and Bears were part of cannon fodder in there too. If Mr.Awesome were choosen to be part of Armageddon I wanted to make his sit and talk with Beast while other characters were stuff that matters - later he could kill off Beast and Princess as he still is a powerhouse - I'd make him go after death herself if that would bring comedy to the story XD
Um...I really had no idea what was going on here or how this related to Armageddon, or who the old guy was.
I do agree that you should stick to one font for all the characters, unless one of the characters has a REALLY different voice, like say the character is a demon or something. THe font that you did use for the homeless guy was also difficult to read. I didn't really get all the food references either nor the random bear fighting. This really felt like watching an episode of a show in the middle of a season, without seeing any other episodes. That is ok, but its nice to have a recap, so I have a general idea of what is going on.
Art wise, I liked this a lot, it is the best I can recall seeing from you. BUt you are still designing your panels to include as little background as possible. I would like to see you start using perspective grids to really nail down your backgrounds rather than just approximating them. Please draw buildings, your work would jump ahead leaps and bounds if you learned how to draw buildings. The characters are still a tad off and a little long-ish in places.
thanks for sharing!
