Fun comics! Cola, I liked how Cat Suit saved the day--very creative. Slagglle, your concept is intriguing, documenting Void City. Hope to see more from both of you soon!

Shouldacouldacola-that was pretty great, I loved how simple and silly this way. I am not disappointed. My only suggestion would be to tighten up that first establishing shot a bit. It doesn't have to be totally nice and tightly rendered or anything as that would look weird against your nice loose style, but just a little more time spent on it.
Slagglle-nice to see you back! Sucks you couldn't finish because what you have is a very nice start.

Shoulda, your submission had a smooth flow and unique execution actually made the lack of background acceptable. I guess considering the amount of time your given, I can understand the simplicity of the story. Great job.
Welcome back Slaggle, You started off well and I always love thre "jump-right-into-story" approach with dialogue. I'm sure the odds would be so even if you were able to finish up.

Shoulda: BWAHAHAHAHAH! The pathos, the gravitas- the BREAKING OF WIIIIND! This comic had it all. You had me by the heartstrings with croc dude jumper's angst and CatBUTTs heroics. The dialogue between the reporters and the concise pacing of this comic is made of win. The most fetching thing for me was your greyscale style, definite charms. Charm on you crazy diamond!
Slaggle: A good set up with your car bound convo and I dig your line work. You just begin to get into the nitty gritty of the story when you hit your last page but I admire your framing of the story against Void City at large, the concept of the documentary is one that begs to be explored.

Alright.
Shoulda: This is one of the best comics I have ever seen. I don't even mean on the site. I mean ever. I loves this so much, the stylization, the angles, the setting, the jokes, the writing. Top notch. I so wanna battle you and am enamored by your work.
Slaggle: I like your style, I like it a lot. I really wish you could have finished, you had a great start. Don't get discouraged. (You draw catsuit so well.) You do some nice dialogue too. Keep up the good work.

Slagglle! Sorry, my character was so ridiculous. I dig the detail you put in your work and your characters work really well together and in the v-city.
Thanks everyone for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed my stupid humor :>

Cola, I keep coming back to read this because it cracks me up every time I read it. I love it so much, your scratchy style is great and works so well with the bizareness of Catsuit.
Slaggle, you had such a great start, I love your lines and your characterisation. Echoing others saying that I wish I could have seen more!

Cola, that was so dumb. And I mean dumb in the most endearing, hilarious of ways. Normally I'd feel like a terrible being for laughing at that, but damn it, you just did it so well. Really enjoyed that one.
Slaggs, shame you couldn't get where you were goin'. Seems like you were doing something interesting. First appearance of catbutt there was very funny.

Slagglle, I wish yours was finished. I enjoyed everything you had so far, so I'm looking forward to seeing some finished battle by you soon. (Since I'm totally diggin the idea of your characters)
Cola, I tried so hard, but I couldn't NOT give you a perfect score. That ending made my day.

Slagglle, I would just like to say, your comic was a delight. A shame it was unfinished, but it was kind of fun to see how people outside of Void might interpret some of the tales that were bound to spread around. Your detail was really nice, and I hope to see more from you.
Shouldacouldacola, that hilarious. Seriously, my sides hurt. I'm not sure why, bu there's something about your style that I just adore. Kinda like reading a children's book for adults, and it was wonderful to read. I demand we see more art from you!

ShouldaCouldaCola, you are my new hero. Every second of that comic was hilarious, and I'm a big fan of the style, too.
Sorry that Slagglle didn't finish, though. What was there was enjoyable, but I'm sad it just kinda ended there.

Cola: LOOOOOOL!! That made even my mum laugh..
Slaglle: Shame to see it unfinished, your characters had so much potential and just what you have to show so far promises so much..

Slagglle, it's a pity to see your submission was unfinished, because personally, I love the hatching you've done to tone your first two pages. The car interior looks great, and with the exception of the first panel on the second page, the anatomy is excellent overall. That last page could have really BEEN something, if it had been polished up. It's much more dynamic than the first two.
I love your characters, and I'm glad your writing style allows for their personalities to come through.
Cola: THAT WAS HILARIOUS. Love your traditional marker tones. Since your linework is so fine, the pale shades were really effective. I'm not sure your car interior really worked for me (first page, last three panels. The scene is placed too far back, with excess space for dialogue) but you certainly had me chuckling the whole way through.
Overall, your comics were about the cutest reporters ever to breathe VOID air, and an exhibitionist vigilante in a fetish costume. THAT'S AWESOME.
