This is some REALLY good stuff. We have a lot of good entries from many good authors, I'm very excited about the contest! I might update with more detailed comments later.

And if you don't quite get my jokes, its might help to look at this article, leaf trough the types of comics on this site, and maybe read some of my earlier comics for character types.

Fixed! Maybe like 'Smeezo' or 'Smeezed' or 'Smitzer' would be a bit more obvious. Smeezette just sounded female, like Janette or Lynette... and so please forgive my assumption!

Anyway, I was really impressed with Smeezette's comic, it had great graphics and the gore was cool! I need to learn how to make gore like that.

I'm gonna write some full reviews later, but this competion is pretty heated from the looks of it! And I see a Lurrrre! Comeback coming on because of his ZU parody of the Shantytown!

Meh, I wish I had more time to remake it in Photoshop . But I worked hard enough on that GIMP one by itself.

I already voted for myself, so go ahead.

But people ought to restrict themselves to about 4 votes. There's a lot of good comics here, I agree, but voting for them all really does no good. Just vote for the one(s) you like best (i.e. mine ).

I guess I'll vote for mine and Nero's, mostly because mine is pwnsauce and Nero's (in my opinion) looks better than all the other comics in this contest (excluding mine, obviously ). Nothing too fancy or complex, it's just right.

GS wins a separate Award of Awesomeness for having respect for those with Dial-up. Thank you for making them links instead of forcing me to load them all on the same page!

*Goes to read*

GS, you've got to tell me what font you used! I've been searching for such a font for a long time now.

I think I did alright after not spriting for two years don't you think? (;
I too, also like to see a plot in a comic, or just a funny one, that's why Goldstud and Mr.Fish get my vote.

The reason I entered into this was to see if I were any good. And I guess I'm not... ):

It's nice to see myself trailing in joint-last. It makes a pleasant change from trailing in dead-last.

I did read yours Blizz, when I was writing my post I was going to include you, but I liked Mr.Fish's and Goldstud's better is all. Just my opinion... Sorry. ):

Okay, so.

Junahu..
Sprites are good. Emotions are always cool. Totally loving the moon expression. It's good for a one-timer comic, definitely. You don't need to get to know the characters to get the joke. But.. It wasn't funny nor was it visually impressive. Sorry. The comment was funnier than the comic itself.

Smeezette
Smeez is a GUY?!

Anyway, Smeez brings his trademark overdramatic lame anime style to the scene. The characters give the impression of being deep, but... It doesn't work! Not as a onetimer comic! I want to see more, damnit! Graphically impressive.. The lowest of the four I picked due to the somewhat lame anime style you have and giving your characters 'depth' but not expanding on it and seemingly having no intention to.

Lurre
Spelling mistakes.. Ugh. Other characters having different names and personalities, ugh. Textboxes.. Are okay. Transparency isn't always a good thing, but this is borderline good. The storyline is confusing, but 'the Power Shot' was actually pretty funny. The panels being attached was a bit distracting, somehow. I can't put my finger on it. Visually... Not impressive. Not bad, but not good either. And sometimes the text was a bit hard to read, but not really a big issue.

GoldStud
Visually, very impressive, as usual. Storywise, even if you don't know the rest of the story, it's good to understand. Besides, who doesn't know X and Zero nowadays? The usual hilarity is there as well. Only problem is - WHERE ARE MY FANCY TEXTBOXES?!

Stupidman
Confusing, visually unimpressive, EXPLANATIONS in the comic, same scene and no angle changing.. Yeah.

Mr. Fish
Freekin' hilarious. Angle changing. While there are no visual effects - this comic doesn't need it! So it has zoom-ins, different textboxes and everything to keep it exciting nonetheless! It works as a onetimer comic too, you don't need to know the characters to get the joke. Absolutely no gripes here.

Blizzaga
Building plot, but.. It's a onetimer comic! And where's Mario's trademark "-a" speak? Visually unimpressive, but like Fish's comic it doesn't need it. So it has close ups and bla die bla... Yeah, it's good! Plot building is the one thing that I have a gripe with, seeing how it's supposedly a onetimer comic.

Quartz later.

I finished my comic, but I was away on vacation when I was going to submit it. Besides, it seems rather "disturbing".
I'm voting Lurrrre!, but only because he's bribing me.
Nah, just kidding. I'm voting for Lurrrrre! personally.

Before you talk about my issue Mr.Dutchman, I know it's text heavy, and effect heavy. But if I knew you could make panels the size of Smeeze I would have. But sorry about the effects...
