Hmmm..... let's see...
Good jokes, nice sprites, good grammar, and decent backrounds. Looks like the start of a good comic! I see you tend to deal with things that either aren't there, or will happen (comic 2 and Ad 1.) But I'll be able to do a more specific review as time goes on.

 

[Solid Kirby]

...A wizard did it. He made me post here. Eh, I'm in the comic, so It's kinda an obligation. =P

I must say you've got somthin' going, here. I let out a chuckle at the jokes, which isn't common. Humor is key, here. =P
The backgrounds, well, They could be worse. They could be Bright Blue and Bright Green. However, The Zoom In panels (Where the characters are 2x size) look merely Two tone. You could add detail to those panels, but It's your choice.
Characters consist mainly of cameos, so I can't judge there. I'll check back later and see how your original characters develop.

The only thing that freaked me out was Dan's magical changing hair in the third comic. But, then again, it's a bundle of flames. XD

Overall, It's a good comic so far. I'm not disapointed one bit in my decision to let you cameo Devil G. =P

 

[Mastercougar]

This looks pleasant. You've got good grammar&stuff, as I've noticed before, and you've done your cameos with deft skill. The background is simplistic, true, but it's not too bad, and the clouds earn you bonus points.

Some would object to starting out with a broken fourth wall, but as you know, I find those people kinda stuffy sometimes. The humor's really great, too.

So all in all, great work so far, Oblivion, and I look forward to seeing more!

 

[Controller of Flames]

Nice comic, I'm still working on my journey comic to beat them all.

Nice dark background colors, so we can actually see MC's blue glow thingy. Simple clouds in the sky look very nice. Wait I'M in this comic! YAY. Plus that Reporterz styled sprite in the sig looks nice.

Flamethrowers, who needs a flamethrower when you have me!

Yes, well, nothing has really started yet. Once we hit comic ten, I'll shoo the cameos away and the actual comic will start. Then you can come back and review 'till your heart's content. As for the ad... you'll be meeting those two soon enough.

...A wizard did it. He made me post here. Eh, I'm in the comic, so It's kinda an obligation. =P

Yeah, the cameos all seem to want to pop in here, but I can't get rid of them yet, at least.

I must say you've got somthin' going, here. I let out a chuckle at the jokes, which isn't common. Humor is key, here. =P

I try, Devil. I try.

The backgrounds, well, They could be worse. They could be Bright Blue and Bright Green. However, The Zoom In panels (Where the characters are 2x size) look merely Two tone. You could add detail to those panels, but It's your choice.

I'll fix that on the next one, but I'll keep the old ones in their miserable form.

Characters consist mainly of cameos, so I can't judge there. I'll check back later and see how your original characters develop.

Like I said, come back after cameo week.

The only thing that freaked me out was Dan's magical changing hair in the third comic. But, then again, it's a bundle of flames. XD

Since when do flames stand still? I have to say that I enjoyed doing that.

Overall, It's a good comic so far. I'm not disapointed one bit in my decision to let you cameo Devil G. =P

Yes! Score one for team Oblivion!

This looks pleasant. You've got good grammar&stuff, as I've noticed before, and you've done your cameos with deft skill. The background is simplistic, true, but it's not too bad, and the clouds earn you bonus points.

You should see the origional ones. They were so boring that I just HAD to add SOMEthing. I didn't want to do the sun for fear of deforming it, and clouds seemed like a good spicer.

Some would object to starting out with a broken fourth wall, but as you know, I find those people kinda stuffy sometimes. The humor's really great, too.

Fourth wall? I we aren't going to break that during a cameo week, no. We're going to DESTROY it. But yeah, the fourth-wall can be used effectively, at which point it isn't bad anymore.

So all in all, great work so far, Oblivion, and I look forward to seeing more!

And you will, in just a few paragraphs. Hold on while I get to CoF.

Wow. So many comments on background. Apparently I didn't screw that up.

Plus that Reporterz styled sprite in the sig looks nice.

Wait, the girl of the one running?

Flamethrowers, who needs a flamethrower when you have me!

Somebody who wants quick access instead of having to drag you out of the netherworld all the time. Or if you are incapacitated or something.

What could incapacitate you, you ask?
4: Speech bubble sarcasm.
That.

Lets see here, two toned backgrouds, mixxing bittages (I believe Devil G is a 32-bit sprite), blood effect sucks, broke the fourth wall in the latest, not funny (atleast not to me). Good things, grammar is good, bubbles are fine, and the sprites are nice. You get a 5/10, an average comic.

 

[Controller of Flames]

Ahhhh my arms and legs cursed Daraku!

Oh Goatman giving your background grass three pixel pyramids doesn't make it much better. All the sprites are 32 Oblivons hair I believe is 32, my sprites pants, and MC's face. Also Oblivon I think it would make the comic more interesting if you added expressions.

 

[Bagonclaw]

Shade the blood.
I don't really like the cameos. Not good for a comic right off the bat. >_<
For some reason, Chrom looks like he is in a different bittage.
You can call me weird now.
I don't like the two-toned background, but the clouds make it better. The ground is boring, though.
Well... I'm done here.

_BC_

 

[Goatman56]

My oppinion stands, just cause you drag my backgrounds into this doesn't mean i'll change my mind all of a sudden. Also not everything is 32-bit. But, I do agree that he should add emotions.

 

[Controller of Flames]

Oblivion here is a bit of advice, don't suddenly start the comic. Get Sora involved in the current problem (my limbs) and slowly start what you had planned. Also please don't tell the cast that your character is the author because the 4th wall isn't broken till the cast of the comic find out

I knew the cood comments wouldn't last too long. Two-toned backgrounds I have not. I have clouds in there, too, and that's my absolute plainest background. Also, CoF already went over the bittage-mixing, which I didn't really do at all. Plus, I have no control over others' sprites. The blood effect sucks... how? If the problem is in shading, the shading has been fixed. The fourth-wall... you've got loads of cameos in one place. It was inevitable from the start, so right now I'm doing it excessively to make a point. The good comments... you complained about my sprites, and then approved them? Odd... but I didn't impede speech, which I try not to. It's a good thing to know.

Ahhhh my arms and legs cursed Daraku!

Yes, I just had to induce pain that day, as I was in a bit of a mood. That and the screaming needed explanation.

Thank you for the defense in my absence, CoF.

Also Oblivon I think it would make the comic more interesting if you added expressions.

I was kicking myself over that, too, when I did these last comics and looked back. But I did expressions for these last comics, though I think I went overboard.

Well, Chrom has softer colors to him, which makes him look a higher bittage. For the most part he's still a 16-bitter, though. And cameos right off the bat is at least better than starting with intros, right? The rest of your complaints have already been stated and dealt with. Oh, and you don't need to write in collumns.

My oppinion stands, just cause you drag my backgrounds into this doesn't mean i'll change my mind all of a sudden. Also not everything is 32-bit. But, I do agree that he should add emotions.

Goatman, he didn't need to go at you personally, but he did point out that you're in no position to judge.

The comic's not going to start abruptly. I'll end the party, and then Chrom will get it started fairly slowly. But [SPOIL]none of the cast but Chrom will ever know about me until somewhere around the beginning of the third storyline.[/SPOIL]

Well, I worked most of these through a migrane headache, but they're better than nothing.

5: Heed the warnings.
6: The 10% rule.
7: He needs a reason?
8: The speech.

Well, by this time I'm tired of the cameos and want to get rid of them before they mess up the comic. As for my mentioning the author thing, I'm fine with Chrom as the only cast there. Why is that so? Well, without spoiling too much, [SPOIL]he's rather important, and therefore knows and is sworn into secrecy.[/SPOIL] Now I'm off to slave away over the comic creator again. *sulks off*

 

[Goatman56]

So, what your basically saying my critique is wrong. Not that i'm acusing you, but I believe hat I believe. Also I just don't find breaking the 4th wall good, no matter what the circumstances. Clouds to a two toned background still isn't exactly great. Look at this for blood.

Well anyways, the new episodes are nice.

 

[Blivsey]

I'm back after a couple of weeks! High School semester tests, ya know. And last weekend, I was cooped up in a bus with the other show choir members and shipped off to Marion, Iowa. And this weekend, they coop us up on charter busses and send us to Wisconsin. Yipee. But this weekend I finished up five comics, so take them and leave me alone.

No, you can keep posting. It's okay.

9: He had to ask.
10. Chrom's task.
11: Riku and Kairi.
12: That explains that.
13: Stalker.

A tad of commentary...
009: Never challenge the author, man. Especially not direnctly or in his own comic. He'll meet the challenge, and make it happen in some convulted way so that it backfires on you. He can and will do that. As for the bleeped word, I needed to get the point across that he was really ******, but I didn't want to have a cameo drop the f-bomb. It never ends well. Therefore, I toned it down a bit and called it good.
010: Well, now I had to get all the main characters up and into action. Since I had no use for Chrom, I assigned it to him. And just so that he couldn't complicate things, I'd make him forget everything that would lead to him inducing a needlessly-overcomplicated plot. Simple enough, right? The sound effect in the third panel, by the way, is FA-WOOSHI in Symbol.
011: This comic was mostly to introduce Riku and Kairi: Riku as the stereotypical "cool guy" (has a clue, smooth, etc.) and Kairi as the girl with the attitude problem. I also ended up throwing in a bit of Sora's personality: lazy with an obsession for Ramen noodles. I myself enjoy Ramen immensely, so I decided to use that as an obsession here. Also, I would like to point out that Sora is, in fact, competent. He just has a motivational problem. For you worry-warts, they'll all break stereotypes at one point or another. Trust me on that.
012: This shouldn't take anyone more than five minutes. It's overly-simple. Four panels of alternating scenery, some running sprites and a bit of speech. With running, they don't necessarily even have to be in the same spot in each panel. I remembered the "that's why I've been getting your mail" joke from another comic here and decided to blatantly rip it off for this comic. I told the owner I would probably use it at some point, so I'm good. I also like how Chrom's apparently hurdling the mailboxes there.
013: Nothing here but an explanation on why Sora was outside. I feel that I forced the punchline here, but it works. Meh.

Oh, and we had a reply! You can believe what you wish, Goatman, and I'm gonna respect that. From now until I have to bring the author in, I sollemnly swear not to use another fourth-wall joke. And, no offense, but the blood tutorial there uses a style that makes the blood look... chunky... like vomit or something. I'm just gonna stick with the blood I've already set up (3-tone, regular shading). I'm glad you liked the new episodes, though.

 

[Controller of Flames]

The first two are exactly the same.

The comic you took it from is "A Town Called Littleroot" for ya information.

 

[Blivsey]

Sorry 'bout that. Luckily, I have the URLs of all the episodes in one neat file, so I fixed it in about twenty seconds. Better?

 

[Controller of Flames]

Yes it works just fine now..

Well that was a shocker your so eartless you know! BTW I'm not typing this myself, my limbs are still growing back. I'm getting someone else to type death threats to you.

 

[Blivsey]

Yes, I now fear the day that you remember that you are an auhor and can regrow your limbs at will...

But a reply is a reply, death threats or not, and that means that I'm obligated to post back... with comics. So, here is your daily dose of Hearts.


14. Nothing at all.
15. What the heaven?
16. Broken cast members.

And a Super Bowl Special!

Commentary!

014: After about a week of slacking off, I got back around to doing the comics. And I got to do some nice effects, too. I probably could've done the fireball better to look like it was going at high speed, but I think I did alright anyway. Note that Sora completely ignores Chrom when he disses Kairi. The effect here is "Fwapoom!"
015: Simple talking except the third panel. Note here that Kairi uses "heaven" instead of "hell." I think that added a bit to her moody image to those who understood what I miplied there. A muffin goes to the first person to guess what actually happened here. And I don't mean what it looked like. I mean what impact it actually had. If that was normal lightning, Chrom would be dead. (Fortunately/Unfortunately), he's still alive, though, so (don't worry/go cry in a corner). The effect here is "Kracka-boom!"
016: This one actually struck me as so simple that I vowed to do the whole thing in Paint, without zooming in. It took me a few hours, but I'm pleased that I could get such great results. Anyway, Chrom appears to be "broken." This alludes back to the origional CoH by Devil G. Me and my borrowing jokes... Not that there's a problem with that.
Special: Origionally, I intended for this to be me and a bunch of other Serebii authors sitting around the tube watching the bowl. At church, though, someone explained to me that Super Bowl Sunday was second only to Thanksgiving in food-consumption, and that gave me the change of heart to do this. Besides, nobody else has given Super Bowl Sunday a moral yet, and I though it was about time someone did.

 

[Mastercougar]

Is the lightning part of the villain's attack? Is it divinely inspired? Is it a long distance form of mind control? Is it a...PLOT DEVICE???

 

[ryman]

A muffin goes to the first person to guess what actually happened here.

The lightening was you erasing Chrom's memory, was it not?
Anyway, nice new comics (reffering to all since I last posted.) I may now judge you on characters:

Pretty good. They have characteristics of characters from other comics (it's hard to avoid this due to there being so many comics.)
