I've seen and read *all* the work you posted/linked. one word: ACE

its so good, i decided to write this feedback! (my very first... usually can't be bother'd)

'bad seed' was very funny, i especially liked the boat shot. "I'll take them both" although for a moment I thought he was a fire blaster, with all that talk of inferno... however, I too have an illusion controller and was happy to see those awesome pets pictured.

mighty oak: took me a while to realise he was related to Bad Seed, but it soon dawned on me. I especially liked the shot in the 'Art Gallery' "Oh my! What a magnificent bust!"

overall, you have a good attention to locations and detail... to use Limpet as an example; the wrecked car in Skyway City (i think); the Mega Mart in Galaxy city (i think); the Garage in Faultline (...i think) oh and this is the *best* line!!!! "Boy I warned you 'bout leaning on the fronta ma store! You push that wall down an' yo broke [censored] granddaddy gonna be payin me fo' the resta his life! Now get in here 'n' lift this piece a' junk!" "LIMPET LIKE LIFTIN'!!"

speaking of Limpet, he was my absolute favourite! loved *every* part... "SHINY ARM!!" made me feel so sorry for his disability, and angry to The Frech army thingy people for taking advantage. ... while "Nutcracker, this is Oaktree do you read?..." made me laugh... silently of 'cos ¬¬ ... again, an excellent storyboard. "WHY YOU NOT LIKE LIMPET??" really hit me. I *actually* felt sorry for the poor man.. or boy... bahh.

Rebel Bass wasn't as captivating for me, but How In God's name did you get him to lie down and play 'unconcious' in the hospital?... did you 'recall friend' after he'd been *actually* defeated? or is there an /emote that i'm not aware of? ...And yes, I agree with Sugar_Rush, the Lusca shot is a good capture! ...I too have an Assault Rifle blaster and I hope you dont mind if I steal some costume ideas?

Glascow Kiss: Nice Story. Again, good humour. When she got pregnant, and said "How can i... but i haven't... I've never even... i *laughed* and thought lies! she's lieing. and later, with the father, i was *cruel* i thought yeah! [jeering] throw her out. throw her out. throw her out jajajajjaja! ... so ya, you have a way of making the reader laugh. "Ah'm gonnae crucify ye!! Ya sleekit wee bawbag!" ROFL (not literally ¬¬ ...) and the capture of Galaxy Girl is ace! Although the opening of the story.. all that history.. ya.. it kinda bored me.. but hey.. thats me. *others* might've liked it.

To conclude my blabering, you have influenced me to include more *humour* into my comics.. although i'd have to work out where it's appropriate.. humour works well on the reader.. *that* is what i've learnt. thanks for posting your work. i enjoyed it.. now to get some sleep.. or not.

PS: i have a proposition [take of shades, clears the lens and slides it back with a certain *cooool* that would *melt* a polar bear]... i'll send it to ya in a PM

EDIT: right, i cant stop thinking.. how *did* Glascow Kiss get pregnant? she *is* lieing aint she? ¬¬

Thanks all for the feedback again. Its always nice just to
know that people are looking at my stuff especially on a
forum where the standards are so high.

Cheers especially to Pious, reviews like that make all the
hours scouring for locations and the hanging around for
the sun to come up worth while.......and the debt also!

Well spotted, I tried to make the stories mirror each
other to emphasise that theyre both the same and yet
opposite at the same time, i cant remember which panel it
is but theres a shot of each of them in exactly the same
pose saying exactly the same thing.

Limpets story i think is also my own favourite. It was my
first attempt at a crossover. I could have made it more
obvious but the 'Uncle Jack' who shows up is suppossed to
be Rebel Bass before he leaves the military.

That was a bit of an unplanned fluke to be honest. I was in
the middle of taking some screenies with him when i came
across a fire in steel and decided to take a break and put
it out. The backdraft took him out and as i was about to
head to the hospital a friend of mine arrived on the scene
and i asked her if she'd mind TP'ing me there instead.....and hey presto!

Glasgow Kiss was a tough one. I had done seed as just a
basic story, i had done oats thinking seed was too serious
and wanted trying more humour, bass was an attempt to
portray someone psychotic and limpet someone innocent yet
dangerous. With Glasgow i wanted to try and raise my game
a bit so attempted to do a story with 2 levels. Still not
entirely sure if it worked but then i wasnt entirely sure
what i was doing. It's suppossed to be a simple story
about a young woman becoming a superhero in wartime
Glasgow but its also suppossed to be the nativity set in
present day. Hence her son is born in a stable, three
heroes turn up guided by 'North Star' and Galaxy Girl is
almost in the shape of a St Andrews cross etc etc.
Theres plenty other clues in there, i'll let you find em
yourself

Hope that answers a few questions dude, and thanks again
for the review

hehe. yeah. i noticed the slight nativity subtexts. the birth in the stable, the north star and the 'three men' gave it away, but it worked 'cos i still understood Glascow Kiss as herself as opposed to a mimic of Mary. i missed out the GG statue bit.. but i see the likeness now. and I've only just figured out the virgin pregancy was a subtext to Mary. hehe.

looking forward to more of ur creative stuff!

Now, slids on shades, faking a french accent les talk business. how wud u like to er.. how u say.. do comique comme une collaboration.. les easter vacances ou la summer period? ((translation: wanna do a comic this holiday?))
