Gregly: As always, a fun comic! Overall, your style works very well with how you tell a story. The only thing I can suggest is keeping a closer eye on your panel layouts. Page 4 between those slanted panels, I got lost for a second, and immediately following with that widespread on page 5 only made page 5 harder to find the flow, which was unfortunate, that being a page with action. After that, just work on your impacts. When you have too subjects collide or act on each other, it doesn't really feel like it. The security guys reactions to being shot and punched feel stiff, and rigid, and really kinda take the energy out of the moment.
Mrnoitaull: a shame you couldn't finish it proper. For right now, what I can say is your comic feels a bit barren. There's not enough environment going on, and us switching to entire different part of the area are lost and confusing without that scenery to really solidify when those location changes happen. Aside from that, i don't feel I can say much without seeing a more finished piece. An overall good job and effort though.

Gregly: Really surprising little show! Your story was really engaging and you told it very well. I was super interested and excited to see the story, definitely an interesting little bit of information here. The weakest part of this whole package here is clearly the quality of the scan, because your style shines through really well and feels very natural for the story you're telling. It's a shame you don't seem to have access to something that would make your lines darker and your reds redder. Your only real "comic" mis-step I think was page 5 which got me confused a bit at reading it. Otherwise, I can't find anything here that troubles me, I guess I just wish it was finished to a further degree. Overall, I think this is a cool start to the story and am excited to see what you do next round, good job!
Mrnoitaull: It's so cool to see your art again like this. It's a disappointment you got fucked over at the last bit because of that tomfoolery with the gas-leak, because this comic has so much promise! You really had A-game here it felt like in your character drawings, they were really natural and the motions and posing were on-point.
Not exactly a criticism, but I'm curious about your process, did you draw this all on separate pages and cobble it together or was this all on one page? Does that work for you? It seems like it'd be sort of tough to piece that all together!
That sound effect on page 2 feels kind of weak to me, just because it's greyed out with a blur effect on it. You should really try drawing your big sound effects or sounds I think, it would probably look and feel a lot stronger!
I think your story makes sense, but the dialogue is sort of hard to tell who is talking and what is going on. Maybe your later pages explained it with more clarity, but it's hard to get inside the mind of squids so maybe that's what makes it hard. I think without having the main character speak or think, it's sort of difficult to feel for them in the story. At the same time, an unstoppable Terminator/Gladiator barbarian monster is still a cool concept. All in all, I really like what you've done and I hope you finish this, because it looks too cool not to.

Gregly- I kinda liked seeing the under-drawing because of the use of the coloured pencils but I agree you should have darkened it up, it was so pale it sort of lost impact. some level adjusting would have gone a long way. I think this is a good, solid story, well paced and pleasing to read! you capture a lot of Nikto's emotions well for a character with few discernible facial features lol
MrNoItAull- I like your character drawings, and your action! You make the Baradans look hella cool, and your character has a totally awesome design. This was fun to look at! ....but I couldn't follow it very well ^^; I didnt know whose monologue it was, or if it was multiple people or really whose side I'm on. And then it sort of stops with no climax. But great inking, and nice action!

Gregly: Hey dude, these drawings are actually pretty nice and functional. Only thing pulling it back is the level balance on these. Could increase the contrast or darken those pencil lines in PS or something. Would make it at least look a little more finished. Anyway, this reads pretty well, I like.
Mrnoitaull(how do you pronounce that): Inks looking pretty cool here. Sadly, you didn't finish, which is a shame. Just a note, give your text some breathing room in those text bubbles/boxes. Will make it look better, promise.

Gregly: Pretty good quality for pencil scans. Nice panel layouts, too. And an enjoyable plot. Good work. only thing I coulda hoped for was better quality in the work itself, though your art itself is on point (if that makes sense)
Mrnoitaull: Too bad it's not complete :c the quality overall wasn't bad, but it did dip over the course of the comic, and your panel layouts are a little awkward, but your lines were quite nice in general!
