D'oh, I didn't toss in my comments, but I did vote on time, so there's that!
KENT- You are on fie buddy! All I see is your name on the comics page every week battling or collaborating with someone. How is your hand not falling off??
As always, nice solid lines. They really lend themselves to some sweet sweet coloring. I'd love to see you take more colorful stabs at your work instead of the darker gray scale. P.S I had no idea Wizzie could fly? Or that these two were acquainted. Definitely an unexpected, but seamlessly workable trio. Leave it to oversized city destroying monsters to bring folk together <3 I dug the love and detail you gave to your environments-not to mention your camera angles? The 1st panel on page 10 was really awesome. And, per usual, I'm a sucker for cameos so I totally spotted my boo TL Bot in one of the buildings windows. I never understood why there wasn't more
of that in battles that made use of their backgrounds. Fighters are all over VOID so there should be more recognizable peeps!
HATS- Guuurl, dem colors! I am not surprised you are getting into collabs because of your coloring- it really makes everything just that more awesome. I dug the color change of the environment once Raygun and Wizz start battling. Going from bright regular palate to the deep reds and oranges really amped up the action we were seeing. I will agree with Puzzle that reflective and cast light would've really enhanced the work you put in here. How awesome would it have been to see Wizzie's blue light reflecting off Leviathorah's scales?
I think my personal fav bit has to be the middle panel on page 9. That choice of sky along with the characters and whats going on just gets my heart racing and a smile on my face as thing go downtown! Haha!
Gosh I surely hope we see more collabs in your futures. You make it look so effortless!
H A T S -
You shade a little too much just by darkening colours. Especially with this totally lovely sunset setting you've created, you could use more warm shadows and have your stuff rest into the pink of the sky, or some cold shadows to have them stick out. I also would've liked to see you include some different kinds of lighting, like cast light and reflected light. There's a whole lot of stuff like Wizzie's magic, and Leviathorah's shiny scales that could really added to the atmosphere if you'd let them affect lighting.
It's a beautiful colour scheme, I love pink and green, and I love how you don't let yourself get too locked into a simplified pallete. You let yourself drift around the colour wheel, and you still keep everything looking great. And the slow shift from bright, hot colours to darker, muted colours as time goes on is a nice touch.
My favorite little thing you did was on page 10, where you coloured the linework of the city scape so that they appeared unfocused, like a camera switching it's depth of field. Super nice yo, so clever.
K E N T -
While there's nothing really wrong with it, your city is a little boring. The buildings are really uniform and generic. Where's the interesting architecture, the advertising, the machinery, etc etc. You could've even distracted from the basic look of the city if you'd have just went all-in with the destruction, which also would've made the monster seem more dangerous.
Also, little thing, but on page 8 you end the cityscape way too early, and it ends up making it look there's some kind of end-of-the-world type chasm a few blocks away from the action.
You did an amazing job positioning the camera and using your composition.Lot's of lovely long shots looking around and at an angle. It feels less like you were just cycling through the positions you were comfortable with, and more like you let the story dictate the perfect ways to portray a scene. The stuff you ere doing on pages 7-9 were especially amazing.
Sweet collab guys!
looks like kent drew the linework--the heads are positioned a little too far on one side for some of the images. Also page ten, the second panel (first one on the bottom of the three) could probably have a better message if there was no explosions and just the building. So you have a silent scene and sudden boom scene.

This has some fun energy behind it. But I was all expecting there to be TWO Rayguns through a time paradox or somesink. YOU MISSED A GOOD OPPURTUNITY FOR THAT JOKE KENT.
ps. I hope this doesn't create a bug where it double-counts your score.
I better mention it to Bobo

Tight comic! Really like the flow never missed a beat. Loved the jokes. I felt like colors could use a bit more detail if I had to slam something about it.
Oh my god. That was awesome. That poor kaiju.
Some of the anatomy looks a little funky, but I don't even care.
So great.
edit: Goddamnit, no, I have to point out that the "PATOO" on page 7, it looks like its getting something spit into his mouth, rather than spitting it out.
OTHERWISE, it is fantastic.
(and the butt this is as awesome as it is gross)
