You know, there ARE such things as good sprite comics. Zelda Comic by Mario Paghetti is a good sprite comic. So is 8-Bit Theatre.
Sadly, this, like so many other sprite comics on DD, is a bad sprite comic.
First off you got your unoriginal characters. Megaman. He's in everything these days. Heck, even X-Play gets tired of reviewing all the megaman games that keep coming out. If only they knew how many sprite comics with megaman there were. Are. The problem with this comic is that it lacks anything funny. It's just non-existant. You try to be funny by pulling the "Random Explosion Ending" crap, but that's just a one time gag. And it's been done.
To summarize, your comic is made up of the same sprites everyone else uses, un-funny dialogue, and lame, middle-school humor. And even worse, it's just like 100 other sprite comics out there.
And I like the Shyguy character too. :?

I'm not sure how I feel about this comic. it's not TOO bad, but it's not very good nethier. espeically the panels that blinded me, now those wasn't very good, and puts the comic towards being bad more than good.
well, it had it's good moments.. I liked the panels with the mario background like this one: http://www.drunkduck.com/Ukeke_and_Shyguys_Adventures_and_Stuff/index.php?p=21267
but http://www.drunkduck.com/Ukeke_and_Shyguys_Adventures_and_Stuff/index.php?p=24541 is truly blinding to me.. ughh.. I hate it when that kind of sprite comic is like that.
also.. there's not that much of a storyline.. and the characters aren't oringal.
the most succesful sprite comics is where there's an actual storyline, and not a utterly random one nethier. and also where there's actually oringal sprites, just not recolors. there's some expections to this, but still for the majority it's usually that way.

Yikes, I skimmed through the archive and it's like EVERY other sprite comic, a bunch of nothing, no origional jokes, no art, over used characters and the rest, I don't think I will dignify this with an actual reveiw.
simply put "it's bad"
simply put "it's bad"
Of course you will. All intelligent beings dream. Nobody knows why.
Also, tell random people they are awsome! it helps!

Wow...
Artwork: Like so many comics, you have copied and pasted sprites from other video games. It's not original, and it shows how much effort you put into your work, which is really none. Also... megaman sprites...? Please, don't be like the rest and put megaman in your sprite comic... It's repetative and annoying, because so many people do it. Also, if you want to do a sprite comic, then you can draw your own sprites. That'd be cool.
Storyline: Is there even one? It's just random things happening. I mean, you paste so many random explosions onto the page, I don't know what's going on. Also, your material isn't so funny, and I lost interest around page 3. There's almost no entertainment value whatsoever, and it brings the comic down. I suggest you try to add a storyline. Those are usually good.
So, if you really want your comic to keep going, then add a storyline, try to use funnier material, and maybe work on your own sprites. It would be loads better.
