TIMED CHAOS REVIEW
I generally don't read sprite comics, so I know I'm not the target audience of this comic. I didn't get a lot of the jokes, probably because they were in reference to videogames I've never played. When the jokes were within my range of comprehension, I just didn't find them very... funny.
On a positive note, you have made some improvements since the beginning; your speech bubbles look a lot nicer now and your spelling has improved a bit.
I recommend using a spell-checker, however, because there are still too many misspellings in your comic.
good luck.

The Good: Not much other than minor and major improvements since the beginning. Doesn't save as JPG anymore, uses special effects right, better textboxes, and (somewhat, not totally) proper resizing.
The Bad: Lots of bad stuff. First, the textboxes need tails. (Assuming the person uses photoshop) They only difference is that after you draw the bubble outline with the circle select tool, you take the
tool and draw in a little tail pointing to the person who's talking. Next, the transition is rough. Sometimes, things go too fast, sometimes things go too slow, sometimes he skips thing. Next, don't use different sprite styles, this is present throughout the comic, and it looks bad. Next, practice editing. The ones you did edit you just copied and pasted the head onto one of the Evil guy's bodies, often leaving parts of the characters original clothing on the neck. Also, that Chaos guy is one of the worst edits I've seen, it has no shades and uses those eyestinging default colors. And while I'm on Chaos, don't make him (or his friends) so freakin' powerful, it's like, Here's another fight, I wonder who's gonna win... OH wait, it's Chaos's team. Next, the humor. I've gotten better laughs reading Mallard Fillmore in the "Funnies" section of the paper. I've played a good portion of the games you parodied, and almost all of the jokes were stale, uninspired, or done to death already, like the jokes about Cloud or Riku being emo. You've used "Why am I surrounded by (negative term)" like 4 times already.
Overall: Not pleasant to read. I stuggled to read this, the jokes were bad, the graphics suck, and the plot was choppy. It gets harder to read as you make random video game cameos, but you get points for improving in some areas. 4/10 for effort. As said before, check over the grammar and spelling, it really does add to the comic.
