I couldn't find the comic known as "Death by Pixels". So here's the next one!

Hmmm.

I hate to say this, but I dislike this comic as a whole.

I'm not a fan of the drawing style, espeically when almost all the characters seems to look alike, esepically the two hooded figures. It's as if there was just one person in different costumes playing all the parts.
also, it seems to shift and change a lot in the so-called "Artstic style"... as if the artist was still figuring out a look that he/she could settle on.

also, my other beef is the pages' sizes. having to side-scroll to see all of the pages is one thing I hate the most in a webcomic.
try resizing.

And the humor? there was a few pages that was actually funny.. but it seems way too random otherwise and poorly planned out, like a sprite comic's humor.

if I had to rate this, it would be 1/10.. the one being for the occisonal page that actually had good humor but is otherwise a hit or miss.
I'm on hitatus while I redo one of my webcomics. Be sure to check it out when I'n done! :)

Artwork: The artwork is cute. Not my style, but cute. It could use more backgrounds, though.

Storyline: Is there even a storyline? The comic is too random, and I had no clue what was going on. Also, the humor is childish, and most people here probably wouldn't take that likely. Make the humor and storyline more well thought out, because I didn't laugh, and I didn't know what was happening at all.

Well... I'd have to say that I wasn't too impressed with this comic. It was just too random.

This year, school's full of BS!!!

Weirdness. A very random comic, as was said. I don't dig the storyline, because I don't think there is one. Characters look exactly the same. Some of the pages are too big. Jokes are basically non-existant. If they're there, they're not funny.

However the speech bubbles were okay, presentation made it readable, and it had a good 'vector art' approach to it. Unfortunatly that still doesn't make the comic interesting, just readable.

Umm...okay...where to start..

This is not a "bad" comic persay, nor is it a good comic....I can't exactly rate your art because it changes EVERY FRICK'N PAGE.
The humors kind of dry and all around just random.
Story lines are shallow and don't really seem to go anywhere, and in the end you barely get the concept of it. So really im gonna give this comic a 3/10

I'm going to have to parrot some of the above statements. One over all, good god the size. Keep um at maybe 800 pixels on any side. I have to scroll both ways to see a strip that didn't need it.

No real complaints here on the art style, the expressions are a big plus, but the character design was a bit lacking at times. Perticularly when faces are shown close up I got lost sometimes with who was who. I'd be generous and give a B- to the art.

Story and wirting wise, I think that's where this comic falls apart. There's little continuity between strips and overall, I'm not sure what the story is with these guys. Okay, I get they're demons, but some of the strips have me guessing at past events. Some of the humor is good, the rest has me wondering what I missed.

Rethink the characters and the story. I feel like you could put forth a pretty decent comic, but right now it's confusing and disjointed.
