I uploaded the last page of the first chapter of my webcomic today and I'd love it if you review it.
Here's the link to my webcomic

I remember looking at this one in my free time back when it was only on Page 1, lol. Reading it now, it went a really different direction than what I originally expected, but I actually like the direction it went more than what I originally thought!

I honestly don't have much criticism for it, if any. All stories are flawed, of course, but this one doesn't have any glaring flaws that I feel I should comment on. So I'll focus on the things I like about it, starting with The Hood himself.

On Page 10, when Hood calls out Afroz's gun, I couldn't help but sigh a bit. "Great, another flawless, badass superhero…", I thought to myself. And I held onto that thought for a bit until you did something with Hood that actually really surprised me, and even got me hooked to his character. It started on Page 14, when you have Shankar on the ground, pleading with Hood not to hurt him because he was only following orders. Now, if Hood was truly a "flawless hero" character like I initially thought, he would've stopped there.

But he didn't. He knocks Shankar out despite his pleading, and then you move on to when the beggars are thanking him for what he did. He just pushes them to the side, saying for them to stay out of his way, and that he's not their savior. You wrote him as an anti-hero who's only out for personal gain, but doesn't care what he has to do to achieve that personal gain.

And that's what got me hooked.

Nobody likes a flawless character. But taking a character who only seems flawless at first and showing more of his flaws, doubts, insecurities, and other downsides as the story continues is a great way of doing it. And that's exactly what you're doing with The Hood. So keep this story up! I'm really interested in seeing what you do with this story (and especially Hood's character) from here…

Thanks for the review. I am on short break now, but I promise when I return next month I'd try to do better, up the action, the suspense and the intrigue. Also i'd try to do better with my art as well.

It'd be great if I could get my satirical fan comic, Comic Book SNAFU.
Read here.
The main idea is to derive comedy by bouncing characters from different genres and creators against each other, while still telling an engaging story.

Ooh, this is a really good one. I've never seen the concept of "your imagination is real" executed like this before, and I'm honestly floored that it only has one like. The characters are extremely believable, the art style is absolutely beautiful, and it's paced really well.

Literally, the only advice I have is about dialogue, but even that's not bad at all. It just gets a bit wordy in some parts, or maybe you didn't use the right punctuation here or there, but other than that, it's one of my favorite comics on here.

Keep it up!

Seeing a Fairy Tail character interact with a Yugioh character in a world where the Avengers' HQ exists is probably the last thing I expected to see today, lol.

Looking at the art style first, I love how much it improved from the rough, sketch-like design of the first issue to the clean lineart of the third one. Same with even the text bubbles, which definitely fit well with the updated style.

As for the story, I like it. The characters' personalities all fit well for the satirical style you were going for, and overall blend nicely together. It isn't easy to write something satirical AND engaging at the same time, and while that part of your story isn't perfect (no comic is perfect, though, so don't worry), I still feel you did it well, and there aren't any glaring flaws that I feel I should point out. Anything I was gonna comment on got fixed over time, so keep up the good work!

Hey. I have a comic. Kind of. I wonder what others would think of it, given
the strangeness of it all.

Thanks for doing this by the way. The world needs more people like you.
