While I enjoy the trueness of the opening cutscene, alot of this doesn't make sense or just isn't funny, too tired to go into it, but 3/5

I stopped reading halfway through the second comic.
NOTHING is done right in this comic. Zero.
There's grammar mistakes.
There's basic visual mistakes like the order of the speech bubbles.
Nothing is appealing to look at, everything is always a mess.
There's also no funnies.

Your response to Vash also bothers me.

Well no shit Sherlock. How do you expect to improve if you ignore replies by justifying yourself like that? ''Nobody said it was the best''? So what? What's your point? It STILL wasn't funny.

I actually think it's pretty decent. It may not appear to be on the same level as others (like Arctic's recent one which was really good) but the guy definitely has potential.

Some of the problems, people already pointed out. But here's a specific tip for how the first issue could have been improved: Have Liu Kang shown in his MK1 sprite first, that way when he says he's changed his costume, the readers can see what the change is.

Now, some of the stuff I liked was how Kahn wanted a cat because all evil guys have one, Reiko posing as Kahn (though that panel would have been better if both Kano AND Kahn had been visible), but probably the best was the fact that even though the other bad guys made their escape Reptile was still on the island... even when I played MKSM I hadn't thought about that little detail.

Overall, the first 2 were not bad, I'd give them 6 and 7 out of 10, and I'd like to see this series kontinue!

Lol the second one was kind of funny, loved the Reiko bit, and it's a good thing you addressed Reptile's absence or I would've been like WTF man, that's a minus

4/5

Episodes drag on for too long, too much text, bad image quality, ugly speech bubbles, bad writing overall and I especially dislike how every character in this comic talks like a 6th grader.

Improve on that before you post Ep 3.

I didn't ignore his post and i didnt say that as justification, and if you dont like it, dont read it, its as simple as that.


maybe you should get your facts straight before posting bullshit, because you seem to do that alot

Don't take it the wrong way. Zentile may seem hardheaded, but with time, your komic will improve, and so will Zentile's comments.

You need inspiration. Read some of the_shirt_ninja's komics. They're also based on MK1 and MK2. Shaolin Monks is a great MK game to make komics off of. Please make sure you use the storyline frequently for jokes, instead of make a fan situation.

Like in the 2nd komic, which commented on Reiko, who didn't make an appearance in MK: SM, but to make a MK4 joke.

Quality may seem hard to accomplish when you start off, trust me, look at my early animations. You'll get better with time. I know you will. I'll be keeping my eye on this series. wink

Heh, see, I actually liked this part in the comic. It was an unexpected departure from business as usual.

Besides, Reiko seems pretty old, it seems pretty reasonable to say he would have been around back then even if they didn't show it. Also, the games tend do introduce a lot of characters (Ermac, Chameleon, Shujinko, etc) who they then say were there from the beginning and ran into existing characters even during previous timelines.

Hating on Johnny Cage? That's new!

That's another thing you'd want to avoid: Clichés.

Well why did you say ''nobody said it was the best''? What was the point of that, enlighten me since I talk about bullshit ''a lot''?
You absolutely DISREGARDED his criticism. And mine too.

If you were just some guy trying to start making some comics, it would be one thing. But that immature attitude of yours takes it one step further.

And as a ''writer'', you should know what a cliché is... Wikipedia it to learn something, unless you disregard wikipedia as well since it has a lot of bullshit?

two things

1. I DIDN'T disregard either of your posts, and whoever is telling you this is spreading lies

2. I know what a cliché is, i just didnt understand what he meant by an MK cliché, the more i think about it, but Cage Hatred does fit the mark

Also, you're more likely to get DPs by giving an in depth explination for you opinion. Example

I thought it was ?/5

It was funny because ...
It was stupid because...
It could be improved by...
I personally felt that ...

Stuff like that. You get DPs for helping people out AND being nice, not one or the other.
