Sure, the posing is terrible, but you can't beat that story and the amazing layouts.

I second this motion. It's too long for one, which I could cope with, except that it's also flirting with pretension, which is par for the course when dealing with serious comics riding Half-Life's own plot, but above all it's built to 2005 specs, and it's aged about as well as a raw chicken in a bayou. I'm not saying I was creating anything better in 2005, but I certainly wouldn't try releasing anything I made then in 2012.

(...) but above all it's built to 2005 specs, and it's aged about as well as a raw chicken in a bayou.
Funny, then, that the editing still manages to be far better than yours, or mine, for that matter. It holds up well in everything but the posing department.

Seriously, in this particular case, it's like saying The Godfather has aged terribly and therefore mustn't be watched. I'm telling you guys, this and Concerned aged incredibly well for 2005 comics, so give it a chance. I'm not saying this with rose-tinted glasses, if you catch my drift; it really is good.

But hey, don't read it if you don't want to, it's your choice. You're just missing out.

The post processing is still fine, but the posing is hilarious nasty, and the number of bone stock models and non-posed faces kills it shit dead. This doesn't even approach being comparable to The Godfather, this is 9 hours in Photoshop over what looks like 17 minutes in GMod.

I love concerned, but this was always boring for me, never got in the story.

You two disappoint me to no end. I AM NOT INVITING YOU TO MY NEXT BIRTHDAY PARTY, THERE I SAID IT

In all seriousness though, yes, the posing is atrocious, I'll give you that, but the Photoshop is perfect and the story is pretty good. You're just too young, Flashlight, TOO YOUNG

I'm not saying it doesn't have flaws nor that it couldn't be done better nowadays, but, come on, not giving it a read or just criticizing it for every flaw is unfair. Yes, it's a 2005 comic, but it's a damn good one that everyone should read sometime.

Of course I will. In fact, my girlfriend earned tickets for the premiere, so I might go on Thursday if I can convince her.
