Okay, the whole 'eyes halfway down' on some of the characters reminds me of CAD. Also this comic is sorta about video games. Still, I find it a lot funnier than CAD (aside from that one Jack Thompson strip they did) and that's a good thing.

This one was funny. Very funny.

This whole killing storyline is pretty good...

ANYWAY I'm getting distracted and just babbling instead of reviewing the comic, but that's a good thing. That means I like it. The Video game/group of friends genre isn't original, but you deviate from the video games and concentrate more on the characters. That's cool.

More CAD bashing. Awesome.

*cough* Anyway, the comic is funny, entertaining, the characters each have their own little problems, and it doesn't take long to get to know them. Slow starts is something a lot of comics have trouble with. This one didn't.

:D

This was a skillful use of the fourth-wall break

Anyway, I look forward to reading more of this comic. Good stuff.

Art: I think the artwork works for the comic. It's not flashy, and not too cartoony. Not much I can really say about the artwork that could improve it though. I think it's good and you should stick with it.

Story: No storyline, so no comment on that. There was sort of a storyline with Warren 'killing' the main character, but really it's sort of just a regular cast in a bunch of unrelated strips.

Writing: For the most part, it's good, but it does fall into a lot of the same cliches that a lot of humor comics. The characters need to have some more originality to them, as well as the jokes themselves. Try not to repeat jokes that have been drilled to bits already. Later into the comic there is a lot more new stuff, and some storylines too, which is interesting.
Some of the stuff really got me giggling inside. The whole bit with Warren dragging the beets bag was great. I liked that. The People Soup episode was great too. You've got some great jokes here and some that are so so. Work on really digging up some good jokes though. You're battling against dozens of comics similar to your own and you have to make sure to stand out.

Overall: It's good, but not perfect yet. The artwork is fine and I don't think you should change it. For the most part the jokes are okay, there are a few really good ones, and some that just weren't all that funny. This is coming from my side though, and what I think might be different than what others might think. Good work and keep it up. :)

I agree with the general opinion here: the comic has its good moments, has a few lacking ones, and is generally in the 'quite good' or 'not bad' category. I really can't say much more than that I guess.

This one is my favourite. It's hard to put my finger on why this comic is 'quite good' and not 'really good'. The jokes always seem to be of a relatively high standard. Maybe work on your execution? I also find that 4 panels is often too little to work with. 6 panels might help you tell the jokes better.

review time again

notes.- I didnt read the others reviews before posting

Art.- clean and colorful , not to great (but still better than some comics) but at least nice to view, remember a little some comics thougth

Story.- Gag comic , sometimes cool , other times ...............
it has to many references to another webcomics that maybe a problem if you are not a webcomic artist yourself , the jokes are fun but they got the feeling, where did i saw that before, the characters are not interesting,
I didnt care about themselves , even if the are not videogames into the mix, it capture the same humor style as some webcomics

overall .- the artist got talent , but i would to see doing different projects thats my one pesos bye.

C'mon people. If you're gonna write a reivew at least use proper spelling and sentences that can be easily understood along with proper grammer.

Also longer reivews would be nice, but you know...

The art style was indeed reminiscent of Ctrl+Alt+Del, which is odd considering the comic does insult CAD occsaionally.

The art is clean, simple, and works well with the style of the comic.

This strip was my favourite, too. I loved the eyes looking in different directions as they waited.

I think you could do more to establish the characters and their personalities at this point, as they're all quite similar. I'm also quite hazy on the names, though that could just be me being terrible with names. ;)

I liked it, overall. It's not the kind of thing I'd read every day, but it's something I would check and catch up on.

Good job. Keep working. :)

You spelled "review" wrong. Twice.

Not actually proper grammer.

:wink:
