"An optimist would call a pessimist a realist."

I liked that.
I liked the entire comic :)
And I wish I could start working on it right away but I'm sending my computer to some upgrades tomorrow so I'll be steam-less until it's done. But when it is done I'll be making comics in grade A-quality... at least when it comes to visual quality, lord knows I won't be doing any actual writing.

Just kidding :D

One thing I'd like you watch out for. The facial expressions of some of the characters. The chick on the news for example. She does have her mouth open, but that's about it. Maybe tilt her head slightly.
You clearly don't watch a lot of news, because the people there don't seem to move at all. :P But thanks for the constructive criticism - I usually pride myself on my faceposing, but it could be just me. Then again, most of the comic is about two guys shouting at each other, so my range was a bit limited.

PS: What sucks about using only one thread - some people don't even notice you've posted a comic (e.g. ShadeFredd). :(

No, no. I saw it. But when I like stuff I rarely go into detail because I find constantly repeated praising of one's talent a waste of time because I'm bad at critisizing constructively when I actually like something. The only things I'd say would be "I like this. I like that. I like your hat."
I just don't feel like I'm contributing to the creative process when I'm only saying positive stuff. I mean, what's the point in polishing a mirror that's already been polished?

But sure, I'll give you critique in Fredd style! :D

Despite starting off somewhat stale and emotionless, the beginning scene is excellent because of the right type of setting for a recap. However the realistic textures of the reporter and the lighting on her doesn't blend well. It looks a lot like an average photoshopping act of copy/pasting. The follow-up where Mythos and Chris argue is beautifully dramatic from the facial expressions to the movement blur. The facial expressions are excellent, not only because they are well made but also because they follow a trend. Chris being humbled, slightly angered and now also protective and caring for his men is a theme that I have no doubt in thinking would be hard to follow through out an entire comic of different emotions regardless of its length. Mythos' expressions won't be getting the same kind of praise because his theme is the same as his emotions, angered.
Nonetheless, they are all very expressive emotions.

Besides my criticism of the starting scene there's another thing I didn't like. The blurring of Chris in frame 5 feels very unnecessary.

Done!

Whew, that took a while. I hope your happy now, Mythos :P

Greate comic, I love the swiching from serious-unserious-drama-ect... It is also very interesting.
I also love the quote "I don't need my head to run".
Myrtho, your is also very interesting and I still like your editing style.
And I still don't have anything else to say, I'm bad at commenting good.

And then, I've made a part for this "community event"! Too late to upload it today though, it should be up tomorrow midday. (If I don't go lazy)

Edit: Well shit, my internet is so slow I can't get the thing uploaded! I'll have to get a new connection.

Actually, I didn't touch the lighting at all in there, unlike the rest of the comic. :D It's the map itself - Breen's office. It's weird like that. But thanks!

I'm not being defensive or anything, I'm just stating the facts. What looks like average Photoshopping isn't Photoshop at all.
