Temple has a few plot holes, but they'll be tied up in the 2 prequels and a sequel (or so I hope).

@$$hole! 's plot hole is this: how can an evil little Japanese girl know as much English as she does....?

My plotholes: What was Erag doing for the almost 2000 years he existed before he began attacking people? No one has brought this up, and I don't intend to answer it.

I like to think my comic is one big plothole.

20 Galaxies has been worked over so many times I haven't found any plotholes recently. Lady Luck, though? Relatively new story and plotholes everywhere.

I seem to have problems keeping track of what information each character has. Like when Rowena makes Marlin angry in one scene she has to tell him she doesn't have her normal supernatural abilities to keep his favor, but later I realized she mentioned her lack of power only a few pages before. I think I missed it because of Rowena's phrasing, but geez. It was like five pages before. >_< That one bit of dialogue will be changed in the new version.

Congrats on 20 Galaxies being featured on SmackJeeves. You should make a better banner for it to take advantage of the exposure time.

Oh I found a plot hole in FIGHT. Look at all that junk! Where did that come from??

Aah! I didn't even see they put it back up there. You're right, I should get a new banner - the present one is from their old size restrictions and my old art -

I have so many plotholes on both of my comics.

Currently, both of my comics are in plotholes. There will be lots of twists and turns during this period of time in my comics. I love doing those long plotholes... they seem to be better storywise rather than one situation ending in one issue.

I do enjoy teasing off my readers... mouhahahahaha!


Enjoy... Las Vegas-y

I've had some plot holes in TPCTH for a while(a lot in chapters 5-9). There will be two big reveals one in the current chapter and one in the next that will start to put things back together. I really hope the readers will like it...

I am unaware of any at the moment. Later I have 2 plotholes I never learned how to explain...
1. Why does everyone that can talk speak english?

2. No matter how devastating an attack clothing stays mostly intact, especially around the privates... I actually thought to remove that problems years ago but decided less people would care for "nudey" fights =P

Read "The Devon Legacy".

1. Why does everyone that can talk speak english?

Because aliens can master English in seconds. And humans... well, English is the lingua franca in future Earth.

This isn't necessarily a plot hole in my comics but... Way too many blonde ppl. God, you don't realize how all the 80's good guys are all blonde until you search for hours for non-blonde heroes. Oh and redheads. I can't get away from redheaded heroines. Soon my comics'll be swimming in redheads.

Wait, what? What's wrong with nudie fights? Especially with buxom babes dripping with sweat and... wait, where was I?

I found Mercs big plothole! Despite being a fantasy everyone wears t-shirts and jeans. Why? I don't know. I actually thought of the weird excuse of "excess magic means Wizards are tailors and that style is just in" but that was so crazy it made me laugh. But no one seems to notice that the aged wizard hangs out in his shop in an old baggy t-shirt making him look like an old hippy and so I never have to explain it. NEVER HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT.

You should run with that. Make all wizards dress and talk like hippies. It even makes sense!

There are only two wizards who are characters in my comics, Arnok the Know-it-all and Aurock the maliciously evil. Can't work either into being hippies. Maybe Aurock, if he was my character. He was also made by the guy who made Garret Jax so it wouldn't be fair to completely change him.

But if I ever do a side story or a spin off after Mercs I'd definately do it.

I don't think I have any plot holes in my comic that I'm aware of. I usually remember them and fix them over by giving them sense at a later date, and no one has ever complained of any. I guess it's because everyone figures that if I do leave one it'll be sorted out later on because it's there on purpose.

I guess the only one I can think of is: Why the hell is there a friggen T-rex in a fantasy world setting!?!?!?! which the answer is simple: Because I can.

Plot hole in MAG-ISA:

In the 1st chapter, we see Claudita and Nathaniel taking a bus. If they are angels who can move faster than the bus, why take the bus? As well as Claudita's shades. She wears them for no apparent reason. lol

Its one of the stupid things though I dont think it can qualify as a plothole. lol

A plothole is something that is inconsistent.
NOW UPDATING!!!

I have an issue with ages in my comic. E.g If is years old then would be years old.
Also my first comic is set in japan but I did the school terms all wrong
Other than that I try hard to fill in all my plot holes before someone says "Hey.. how come...etc etc"

I've got a bit of a plothole that I've just discovered (in the planning of the comic - it hasn't actually come up in the posted pages yet). Without spoiling anything, let's just say that there's a gap of a few years in one of the protagonists' life where I haven't the faintest clue where and how he lived. It's just a big area of backstory labelled "blank".

I'll... have to fix that. (I could to a mini-comic! Yes, that's a good idea...)

Strangely enough, no one has told me about any plotholes in How Unfortunate. But I know that there are a few that I personally know of that you can drive a Mazda through (Like what is the name of the group of superheroes that Detective Riley and Nordquist are working with). But I will eventually close them all.

I don't really have too many. Since I'm writing far ahead of my posted pages, I can edit dialogue that doesn't quite "work" with stuff I've written more recently.
Yeah, that's kinda how I am, too. I already have most of my comic worked out in my head, so I've been able to work out of most of the potential plot holes before I draw it. (Or at least, maybe there are some plot holes already and no one's bothered to point them out yet... :P)

I'm sure there are several minor continuity errors, though. But then again, have you ever seen a movie that wasn't full of 'em? :P

Continuity errors in FanDanGo:
Check out Sol's mysteriously vanishing and reappearing elbow sleeve thingies. Also, in early pages, sometimes Rekki held her sword with her right hand. She's left handed. I think Juliet has been ambiguously handed from time to time, and at least once her gloves have changed which fingers are cut off! Sarin's sword changes, but that was a concious decision on my part, to make it look more like a proper katana. Oh, and the KING of visual continuity errors, Subo. Not only do his bullet wounds vanish somewhere between chapters 1 and 2, but he loses the bandages on his forearms at some point and in early pages his scars are sometimes there and sometimes not. You'll notice that, thankfully, there are less inconsistencies now than there used to be. I try a bit harder to avoid them now! Still, there are a lot of characters and I do mess up from time to time.

The Plot hole:
The vanishing AMF device. When Rekki beats up Sol, she doesn't seem at all concerned that he no longer has the anti-magic field device which early on she was so vehement about getting him for having stolen. You'd think she'd be more concerned. This was largely because the plot I had in mind changed a lot while I was writing those early chapters. Luckily nobody ever really seems to notice because by that point, like Rekki, they're distracted by the 'gotta get Sol! Wheee! Fighting!' and stuff.

Luckily, there are less thing like this now. People do point them out from time to time though!

In the begining, hw doesn't really know where he is, but it looks like he's in a doodle.

In the top comic, Dr.Wily makes a refrence to the Pacific Ocean, which would imply they are on Earth.

I sort of forgot by then, and I plan to resolve this by having them living in a doodle world.

My comic "The Other Me" has a huge plothole in between chapters My character Jacob accidentally meets his alternate universe counterpart. The next page they're in a car talking. Probably fix that next chapter. Which will be a long time from now. My bad I was a week ahead kind of stuck on how I wanted to continue the story. So probably not the best selection.
