Crit level: In-depth critique preferred
This was a bit tricky but also I managed to do everything that I wanted. So not as many regrets this time around.

I'd love to get some feedback from formerly and current traditional artists on what are the most efficient settings to scan comic pages in? Because the results for these inks were a bit lackluster and then I tried to over-correct by making the blacks stronger but the result destroyed the natural looking feel of the inks. Everything looks like grody razor sharp pixels and its bugging me honestly.

Also I tried to have the comic follow a 3 act structure and I was wondering how much that paid off.

(The boss is also meant to be too self-absorbed to notice that Duncan turned into a monster)

Many thanks to Boogidi for being agreeable and I hope you enjoy the monster transformation I gave to Cap'n K4Kill

The intro with Duncan at his miserable job was such a great setup, and it made for a great introduction of Capn K4Kill as well. I love how the way K4Kill "saves" him was by performing that spell (made me wonder how much of it was intentional or just a happy accident). I also want to give you props for holding back on us seeing Duncan's transformation until the very end, really paid off for the punchline LOL.

BOOGI
Your progress is very noticeable with each new comic! I'm digging how you're playing around with the ink weight. The panels also really pop off the page here, you really know how to implement a wide range of shapes into your silouhettes/posing (I think K4Kill's design leans into this inherently anwyays, which makes for a VERYY unique visual experience).K4Kill's personality is insane LOL. Love it.

Bobert: man, we've all had those days at work, amiright? My only real outstanding question is how capn became a book in the first place but thars more personal curiosity  than actual criticism.

Boogi: I never know what to expect but also  know exactly  what to expect from your comics. I could never guess what's going to happen, but always know how it's going to happen is gonna be an absolute ride. The most surprising thing to me is actually  how minimal  your monster transformations were, relative to some of the other comics in this round.

This was such a great mashup y'all! Two very funny comics with wildly different vibes but they fit together so much better than I could have anticipated! Excited to see what's next from the winner!

I really dig this match up!

Bobert: You always go heavy detail on the characters, it's nice seeing more being put into the backgrounds and scenes. KEEP IT UP!!!
Also nice use of the reveal at the end for Duncan's transformation.

Boogie: Your expressions never cease to amaze me. Another wild comic in the books for Capn. Very nice dialogue between them.

Bobert: Your story was funny, and interesting. I liked the decision to make K4Kill into a book.

Boogi: Lovely. Also funny. I liked K4Kill possessing that lady, it really gave his natural overdramatic personality a chance to shine. Duncan's design was neat. K4Kills monstrous transormation was not aesthetically pleasing in any way, but that may have been the point.
