Ahahahaha, Look at you, all "I-don't-think-I-can-turn-a-comic-in-let-me-lose" and then just dropping this like it's nothing. The way you drew Colossal Princess was awesome, that thousand-yard-stare is just perfect. I know you were super rushed doing this, but it's amazing you turned in something so complete. Heelllllll yeeaaah.

Consider bringing some of the solid black you only use on CP into the rest of the environment. It'll help her fit more into the surroundings and you'll be able to suggest stuff in the background with shadow and light, instead of relying on the incredibly busy linework you're doing right now. Not only will it look better, but it should be faster as well.
Your backgrounds demand so much for this character, I'm continually amazed at how much work you're tackling, and you're doing an amazing job varying your shots for dramatic effect.

gregly: I probably don't need to tell you what I think, because it's always the same thing: I love your style, your storytelling, and the personality in your characters and the comics themselves. I can tell you were rushed this week, but man! You still pulled off a good comic! This was an interesting battle from the start, and you did justice to the tiny princess vs. giant princess thing. Also, I love your spaceships. They remind me of the Shroobs from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, if you've ever played that game.
Jiisuri: I really love the mythology going on, and I want to see more. The main comic, however, felt a little lackluster to me. A lot of your poses were pretty stiff, and the plot was forgettable. I know it's probably hard to develop your character when she has no dialogue, but that's what I'd really like to see. The mythology definitely helps, but I didn't feel her anger in the comic itself. Yeah, she breathed fire, which was awesome, but I didn't feel the emotion in any other way. I was also disappointed with the lack of personality in Gregly's characters. On the plus side, I want to applaud your daring angles and shots, as well as your cityscapes. Those are all hard things to do, and I'm sure the difficulty is part of why some poses ended up looking stiff. So just keep it up, maybe use some more references for those difficult angles, and you'll be good! I can't wait to see what's next!

Oh my god, Gregly. I opened the first page, started laughing and just couldn't stop all the way through. I know you said you were busy and had to rush it, but I really love the resulting look, it's so silly and fun.
Jisuri, I like the continuing development of the mythology. I wasn't sure how I felt about it last round, but a little bit at the begining of each comic like that is really cool. Your art feels rushed, understandable for a week, but the composition and action works very well, in a way that I know if you had time to clean them up they'd be so great. I feel like the ending was bit srange, it could work but the change from one princess disapearing to one apearing is a bit dry. I'd have liked to have maybe a panel or two where I can think 'oh, did colossal princess burn?' and then see her come out of the fire, because as it is now, the dramatic effect falls a bit flat. The fact that Colossal princess can spit fire is just so cool.

Just think of it as a challenge to do a really really good incredibly short comic! 1-3 page comics are magical when they're done right, they're just so hard to do right.
