kind of Marvel/DC-like dialogue you've got going there, same with the visuals.

I'd like to see more.

I am not that good with modern slang, seeing I don't like to use it alot, but according to dictionary.com cheasy means cheap or inferior. So I am going to ways with this. Cheap, well yes. It is kind of cheap. I'm not drawing them because I can't draw. So I am using it as a stepping stone to tell a story.Inferior, no. I am not insulting this game in anyway. If you don't like it leave my topic. I don't care.

I find it hard to take what you are saying serious at all when you grammar is so mangled that it wouldn't pass the standards of a elementary teacher.

Erm, the font makes it a bit hard on the eyes. How about a white/gray-colored background for the text like in other comics?

For so little to be shown, it's incorrect to say cheesy really, or bad, just incomplete.

I'll tune in for future additions. If anything, for some lulz at cheesiness (but hopefully not).

Seemed to serious.
So, I thought some unfunny comedy might lighten the mood a little...

Seems interesting, but I think if you added the little white border at the top of the panels like comics usually do, it would look alot better and help it. Maybe even finding the text they use, since I know its out there on the internet somewhere. Nice sigs as well

The correct response to flaming isn't to flame back. There are forum rules.

@ the OP: if you can't handle criticism, the forums aren't the place for you.

Double post. I kind of want feedback on this one. Because I want it to be serious, but not to serious, and I can't tell if I am doing that good or not.

I think you need to make it more clear which direction you want to go. If you want this comic to be serious, you need to lay out a proper plot plan and make characters with some depth to them. You shouldn't be able to laugh at the character's actions unless they're doing something deliberatly funny, and if they are you should be able to twist the plot back to serious more or less effortlessly so that the "funny" doesn't seem simply stupid, or takes the attention away from the actual plot.
If you want there to be a lot of "funny" in a serious plot, it should be delivered through sarcasm and/or a darker sense of irony and intellectual narrative.

I think you've got the visuals down so far, you've made the writing legible and the screencaps are good. It's all nice and clear and easy to read.
But, as I said, you need to pick a direction. I for one would love for you to make a serious storyline, but it's quite difficult compared to making a comedy in which you don't nescessarrily need a storyline at all.

You're improving with the layout. Text is much better now.
You don't have to say "I am blablabla, bringer of light, bladiebla" every single comic you know ^^ people get the idea after one shot.
I'm still missing a clear storyline. You should think of a story first, then go shoot pictures.
Oh, and mind your grammar ^^

otherwise, good work.

otherwise, good work. I am actually kind of doing that to develop Eros to prove thats he's pretty much went insane on how much he wants revenge on evil. And I do have a serious storyline plotted out for this comic.

Thank you.

made this out of randomosity. I don't know what to do. I am getting to much of a mixed reaction over the internet. Some people want me to quit. Some want me to make it funny, and some want me to keep going.
