Please sample my webcomic and tell me what you think about it please?

Story and Setting:
Takes place three to six months before Operation Snake Eater. Johnny Sasaki and The Fear stumble upon one another and become friends. They then go through misadventures and recycled jokes as they waste time waiting for the rest of the Cobra Unit to show up and begin the events of MGS3.

EDIT:
Although I like criticism on my art style like the rants against how I have no backgrounds in this or any other webcomic I make, I must say please allow me some time to tie this webcomic up to the MGS3 story before ranting on how it's not tied to MGS3 in any way. This webcomic just began and I just want it to flow by itself please.

EDIT2:
Also, Naked Snake won't be showing up in this webcomic due to the fact that this is based about half a year before Operation Snake Eater. However, I never said that any other snakes or any other characters won't be showing...

Updates: Whenever I make a comic...

This comic in no way reminds me of metal gear, and does not live up to the games :/

In any other circumstance I would agree with this, but you've only given us two pages to look at so far. So...keeping an open mind, you have decent art that suits a comic strip, but could be bettered with the addition of backgrounds; also, for sake of this being a Metal Gear fan comic, I do hope that you'll start some kind of story line or arc that, if only vaguely, ties it into the games in excess of simply using characters from them. I'll keep an eye out for updates and keep on reading.

I will. Just give it time please. >__< I suck crap on backgrounds, so please bear with that. There will be story, but no Snake. This IS based a couple of months before Operation Snake Eater after all. However, expect the rest of the Cobras and the GRU gang to show up. ^__^

Well sorry for not meeting your expectations. There is no Snake in the story, after all...

Please at least allow me about ten to fifteen or more comics before making a judgment please.

you put, at the top of your post :/
But art style aside, I can already tell that this is going to be a goofy comic.
You have a lot of characters with already set personalities. It will be difficult to keep track of it all.
Also, no snake? 0_0 You might want at least a cameo or something.

Actually, I meant judgement on story and accuracy to the series...

And don't worry, Naked Snake won't be showing, but that doesn't mean no others won't... ^__^

i can't see this art style in the metal gear series at all.
They are very realistic, detailed not cartoony, and a bit dark.
You have a slight manga influence, flat colors and chibis. :/
That's the complete opposite of what metal gear is.

I know you just started, so I haven't talked about the story. If I was a troll, I would have.
But I do see the art style, and I'm telling you this now before you have a hundred bad pages.
Do you see my point now? Or are you going to take my criticism badly...?

I'm not taking any offense. It's all good.
My style is cartoony and this series I'm making was aimed to be funny rather than serious in any way. A lot of Metal Gear comics and webtoons that I saw were cartoony and had no dark tones whatsoever and were VERY popular.
Examples:
Metal Gear Awesome:http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/297383
Cobra Days:http://www.thecobradays.net/index.php
Metal Gear Again:http://www.drunkduck.com/Metal_Gear_Again/

This series was aimed to be a funny parody than to take ANYTHING seriously or anything. I see your point in making a webcomic that lives up to the name of the Metal Gear Solid series, but I'm not Hideo Kojima nor will I ever will be. I'm no Hideki Sasaki, so there's no way I can be great at drawing real style Metal Gear people. I just accept who I am and the style I draw, even if it is horrible. ^__^

All I can do is be myself and draw the way I draw because I interpret Metal Gear as such.

I thank you for the concern and criticism, though. :)

Time to bump this advertisement back up too. ^__^

Let's see how many people critique on how poorly I interpret the characters, how I don't have backgrounds, how I haven't tied MFS to the MGS3 storyline, and how I fail at making a Metal Gear Solid webcomic. ^__^
