Charlie I think this comic is an improvement over the last, I'm liking the variety with the different characters and it feels fast paced in a good way! You really have a better handle on this than I could critique up, one thing I'd say is to reconsider how much text you need to get the point across with any of the wood bubbles. It's mostly good but sometimes it slips with a few too many big word balloons. I know i've been there more than once.

keep it up!

Charlie: I didn't read your Round 1 comic, so I can't compare against this one, but I CAN compare against other stuff I've seen from you in general. On the plus side, you finished this comic (at least as far as the story got—I'm not sure whether you intended this comic to end here or not—), but I'd still like to see something a little more polished than this. Your finished work looks SO amazing, but there seems to be a lot between where you are now and where your completed work is. I'm sure you already know what needs to happen to up your quality, but just in case I think the biggest thing your work needs at this point is just some grayscale. You have some nice big areas of black, but if you look at the pages overall, there just seems to be a lot of white spots with nothing but lines between elements. Even adding shadows using hard blacks could work better than just the pure black or pure white you're using in most of this comic.

Again, you probably already know what to do, so this is all just hot air. Either way, I hope you really bring your best next round, because I wanna see some real Charlie comics! Good luck next round!

Charlie- LOVED your Dr. Fabulous and Morty designs!! I feel like everything I want to say as a crit falls under "time constraint/management problems and the other comments said a lot of good stuff so I'm sorry I don't have much to say. I did enjoy what you have though

ShouldaCouldaCola: Very sorry to see you defaulted, but I understand y'got reasons and you had some biz to take care of so it's all good.

Charlie: Hey, I know you mentioned this was a rushed effort but damn this looks remarkably good! I felt like this was a lot cleaner and easier to understand from your first round, art wise and layout wise. I only have one tiny critique; the dialogue on the second page top panel was a bit hard to read. I think either making the white stroke thicker or even inverting the text would have made better readability. Again, minor minor detail but something to consider next time you boxless narrations like that.
  But man, I really love the way you've been integrating your  opponents in your character's universe. The character portrayals are super fun. ( I had a good giggle when we see Dr. Fab's silhouette in page 3. His face reminded me of a lemon head.)  
  So yeah, please keep up the good work!

I guess i cant exactly say that i cant tell this is a little phoned in...l you maintain good readability and I like dr fabulous and morty as the villains, but it ends a bit abruptly i think... I think you know whats wrong with it better than me lol since you didnt spend much time on it. im glad you turned in at all though, i hope next round id better!

Thanks considering I did this in about six hours or so there is a loooooot wrong with it. There was more I wanted to do but I wasn't feeling it this week. I will try and bring what I know I should be bringing next round but we will see.

I'd be lying if I didn't say your style runs that very fine line between bold and dynamic and unreadable. You always have such great inks, but when the action gets heavy or some panels are unfinished, it quickly turns into a black and white jumble I can't make heads or tails of. I wish there was some way to pull your characters out of your backgrounds because all your cool little details and shadows sort of make them blend well into their environments.

Additionally, I am all about other character cameos (who doesn't love a warlord Dr. Fab?), but I feel this didn't give much airtime for your own fighter or how they fit into this narrative. Considering this is an insta-win, I certainly hope to see things develop in your next round!

You got some great technique that allows for you to direct the eye of the reader!
I love you contrasty look!
There are moments though like in Page 3 Panel 1 with the grunts fusing into Dr. Fabulous that I missed cause I just focused on the Ailie an then went into the next few panels a bt confused. Maybe if you used sfx, or something that would allow me to focus on that moment behind Ailie, it woulda read more instantaneously.
I'm trying to refrain from telling you to use one flat color or a tone to seperate bgs from fg objects to push the readability because I understand what you're trying to do but I do advise to use techniques suchs as halos, or bold outercontours on the characters in scnes such as when we see Ailie over the city scape about to plunge into her death.
Making you bgs simpler where it counts, is definately a plus in this comic compares to your last!

Charlie: So, I actually liked your comic a lot and not just because Dr. Fabulous and Morty have become the villains of your story. Despite the rushed nature and sketchy quality on a lot of pages, your actually reading really well here. Your heavy shadow on the characters shine through a LOT stronger with the simple background appearance and it honestly makes all the difference to me.

Your page 2 and page 3 in particular are immensely understandable and as a result I'm really happy with how it shows up. Even when they step outside into the night with solid black backgrounds, I'm really really happy with how you chose to have the heavy shadows toned down or against the white space. That last page with the entire group, despite the sketchiness, is still looking better because there solid white of the characters plays nicely against the starry sky. I think one thing that I would have altered is making thicker gutters to help your art breath more, because I noticed that you have these panels filled with a lot of activity but the thinner your gutters get, the tighter it's going to end up, so especially with your work all on computers here, it would really make the difference I think.

In terms of story, obviously having my characters used for anything is the surest way to my heart, but I actually like that you've got what feels like a tighter direction and narrative for AAA to follow now and that really makes all the difference. I think this is a cool little thing and I'll be excited to see how this ends up for you in the coming rounds.  Great job!

Shouldacouldacola: You're still cool.

Submitted. I'm sorry, there is no excuse for what I turned in but at least its something!

The match ups for round two are ridiculous and I love them. G'luck you's guys!

whoa, interesting! good luck!

oooh, rad. Good luck to both of you!
