Really enjoying the comics but I have some constructive criticism. Seems like you're going a little too heavy with the bevel & emboss filter on your speech bubbles, its cutting into your text. Play with the Soften option a bit. Example of a speech bubble I wouldn't whine about: No complaints about the plot/humor though, keep up the good work. I use Photoshop Elements 4.0, not Photoshop CS, so I can't set numbers for the bevels. I'll just make the bubbles bigger. xD;

THREE HOURS. At least three hours in Photoshop was this nightmare. Why did it take so long, you ask? Well, some of the layers randomly clipped to pieces of text. I didn't discover this until after about 10 minutes afterward, by which I had accidentally DUPLICATED THESE AND MADE MORE OF A MESS. So every time I went to DUPLICATE LAYERS FOR THE NEXT PANEL, IT PUT BITS OF THE BACKGROUND EVERYWHERE. SO I HAD TO GO THROUGH MY SQUILLIONS OF LAYERS AND DESELECT THEM BEFORE I DUPLICATED. Anyway, if you don't get the joke, look up "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing". Worst game ever. So anyway. Here's the original script, because I said so. SCRIPT LOL. Comic 8: The Ultimate Weapon Max: *in front of conference desk and whiteboard. Fiery, Dooms and some randoms are there, Jeno is present as a screen/hologram* I have gathered you all today to discuss something important. As you may know, my reasons for attacking Prizm were not limited to frightening civilians. *everyone laughs* Max: You see, the n00bs are developing a great weapon, and my army was sent in to capture it. Random: Wait, n00bs making weapons? That's pretty unlikely. Max: *glares at random* One of our spies in the city sent us these images shortly before he was incapacitated. Random: *laughs* Some poor bastard got killed by a n00b? Max: *glares at random, turns to whiteboard* Unlike the n00bs' godmod powers, which exist only in their heads (*everyone laughs*) this weapon seems to be fully functional. The rules of physics do not apply to it. Fiery: Is that a truck? Max: Yes. This weapon, codenamed "Big Rig", is nigh-unstoppable. It can climb ninety-degree inclines easily, without any loss of speed. It can go through buildings and objects as if they didn't exist, and it can reach impossible speeds by reversing. A gamer's nightmare. Any questions? Random: Yeah, I got one. How the hell can someone be killed by a n00b?! Dooms: *incinerates random* Max: Thankyou.

I use Photoshop Elements 4.0, not Photoshop CS, so I can't set numbers for the bevels. I'll just make the bubbles bigger. xD; You can still tweak the size by double clicking the f icon next to the current layer after you have selected a layer style. By making a duplicate bubble and applying the style to it, you can adjust opacity as well(this substitutes for soften). The method is kind of tedious I'll admit, but it looks good.

I'm gonna ask to be in the comic.
Sprite: Use my avatar. The below description makes this sprite perfect for his use. If possible I shall make more in the future. Name: Bishounen Taurus (Bishy) Age: 17 Group: The grammar nazis. Description: The coffee boy. His job is to supply the members of the grammar nazis with enough caffine to keep them awake throughout the night. Although he likes to suggest passive agressive ways of sorting out the n00b problem*, he has a not-so-secret love for dismembering them instead.
*Bishy: "But wouldn't it be so much better if we all just joined hands and picked flowers from neverending meadows of serenity?"
