I haven't quite made it through all of the archives, but what I've seen so far is really awesome. A number of great things about this comic stuck with me: the amount of detail put into each page, the memorable characters, the style, the dialogue, and of course, the story… I have to keep up with this one :)

My first time looking at Morph Man. Long archive, so I didn't have a chance to read it all, but I checked out the latest fight and some of the first pages. I can see a lot of improvement in the art, especially the color. The blood looks cool. The most recent page gave me a laugh (as unfortunate as it is for that guy), especially considering how serious the fight was up to that point. (Really, I didn't see that little "whoops" coming!)

Used books is a great read. There's always some meaty substance on every page and that keeps the story and my attention going. The characters are thoroughly complex which adds to the realism. And Vickie isn't afraid to give the characters some imperfections to really bring it home when it comes to empathizing with them.

Off Hours is just a fun read. Crazy storylines, with a rotating cast and rotating art. Always good stuff. Never dull or boring.

Rival Angels is a sweet comic, filled with action and heart-pounding battles whenever the ladies are in the ring (did I mention that it's about female wrestlers - HOT!), and perlious drama among the competitors when they're out on the town. Currently the ladies are meeting their rivals in the bar (the Hell's Belles).

Quite simply, this comic is awesome and you should fave it right now.

Temple of a Thousand Tears has really picked up, I especially liked the battle with The Man With Beady Eyes. The recent development of the Swordsman as a character has really added to the story. The short of it is I'm addicted!

I'm a big fan of crickets creatures! I love the designs of the characters Especially the creature

The Other Me is uses minimalist methods to convey a dramatic and engaging story.

I love the vibrant colors and amount of detail in the background in Rival Angels. The different angels you use in the panels are also well done (y'know, having a bird-eye view rather than a regular frontal view, etc.).

You do a great job with toning. Both Faust and Chimera have lovely lineart and beautiful soft shading. The body language and facial expressions are also very moving and effective. The stories both really draw me in, especially the characters. They are very thoughtful, deep, intense… in a dramatic and real way. It's been a while since I've looked at them, but I need to make time to give a full read through for both of them. Keep up the excellent work.

I love the internal monologue from the last 2 panel page in Off Hours, it shows a nice depth to the character.

Doc, I think knowing that you put so much thought and planning into creating this world makes me like the comic even more. I want an atlas and a history book on my desk by tomorrow morning.

I couldn't resist answering this one. Those are actually coming eventually, believe it or not :) The novel, Fate's Hand, that's in editing in the US atm.

Oh and what more can I say, NINJA DOOM!

You do more with a pen than i ever could~ at least i'm sure that's pen. Anyhow, your art is awesome and you can do BACKGROUNDS (also incapable of doing) wondrous ^^ i like how you made your own little world in there~ i need to steal your techniques sometime XD

PS. That main character of yours is hilarious~

The latest page of Come Meet Yourself was so interesting (but nothing was explained), that I had to go back a page. When it wasn't explained there either, my interest was intensified and went back yet another page. When I finally got to the question that was being answered, then I understood the reason for the intensity - and my interest was sated! Great way to create interest and drama among your updates, to keep people hooked and coming back for more!

Trevor and Susie encounter their first 12 year old in @$$hole!

The last page of Chapter 5: Whispers of Sorrow. Now it's time to bring the fight to the people who need it. Next week will start Chapter 6: The Way of the Samurai!

Posted at 12:03PM, Mar. 18, 2008

@$$hole! has style and an overwhelming weirdness to help carry it through any situation. It's strange seeing it without its signature color, but even in black and white it comes out pretty smooth looking. This current storyline is also somethin' else!

Mmm, delicious geeky humor…and fun hats. If you made that hat, I'd totally buy it.

This has to be the easiest compliment I've written yet. Salt the Holly is criminally good, its so very entertaining. I love the characters and I love their adventures. Read it along for the awesome sound effects.

Rival Angels has a great character introduction page, where the judges of the match are basically encouraging people to take bets on who will win. I encourage people to do the same, as I'm totally on the side of Brooke. This comic is absolutely great, and it has a real competitive feel to it - you want who your rooting for to win, because you become personally invested in them throughout the story. Read this, I command it! :D

Chapter 6: The Way of the Samurai cover went live for Temple.

Trevor is annoyed by a sales clerk that thinks "bra" isn't something women use to support their breasts in @$$hole!

@$$hole! has a lot of good humour that is pretty likely to interest anyone whom has ever lived anything approaching a normal life. It's got some nice clean black and white line work that keeps getting richer and more involved with each page.

Posted at 8:03PM, Mar. 19, 2008

Last Words one panel just random humor it's actually very funny.

Posted at 5:03AM, Mar. 20, 2008

The Other Me has expressively drawn characters who say interesting things. Between sections of story you go from black and whit panels to a sudden bright, full page, full color "cover", which is fun and kind of unexpected when you're in the act of reading it.

The Surrealist captures the funkiness of it's title. While it is a head-scratching fever dream of a read, it's one that keep your attention.

Later,

Terran Sandz, Broken Things, Dead. What more can I say, these have some sharp art and some great action sequences. They appeal to me a great deal since I like non-standard stories and the way these three are presented!

Chronicles of Wyrden is a very engaging read, with a rich and fantastic milieu. The art fits it perfectly and the characters are just as real as you and me.
