Alright guys, here's the long-awaited comic. Radicat isn't in it, but I promise he'll be in the second one. same goes for Snoink, Lava and the JDinator, but they might be in the third or fourth parts.
I still have very bad layout, so follow the diagram.

First off...I'm so cute! If I do say so myself, that is... ;) Haha, you spelled my name wrong. xD

As for the artwork itself...Amazing, as usual. My favorite part was the shroomy forest. I would love to live there! :D I also love the toxic sign on Radicat's cheek...It really brings the whole theme together. May I ask what he's doing, all green flames and whatnot? Is that my superpower! I mean..."?"

:P And by the by (that is a term, you know), I seriously wish you would make this into a full length comic book series. I never really read comics, but this one really interests me, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a part of it. It is something I would genuinely love to own...Let me know if you do or are going to, okay? I'll be your biggest fan!

Heya! I'm just here to drop by a comment, really. :)

I've got t say that I really do adore your comics! I love your artwork as a whole, to be honest. You are seriously talented, mate. I especially like the last picture, how you introduced all of the characters, even though it was the last picture. That's beside the point! It was cool. 8)

Like Timmy said, I don't read comics. At all. But your comics...? They are an exception. They are really cool and you have the most random ideas for them, they officially become immense because of the randomness. It's really clever what you've done, as well. The idea of YWSers in comic form is great!

Whenever you post a new one of these, could you send me a PM telling me? Pretty please with a cherry on top? :D If you don't like cherries... I have a tangelo...?

First off...I'm so cute! If I do say so myself, that is... Haha, you spelled my name wrong. xD

Or maybe you spelt your own name wrong, Knightley? Or should I say Kinghtly? Riveting, is it not?

Sorry this wasn't a critique, like, at all.

Keep drawing, please!

Eeekkkk. I'm so cool <3

And you my Jenthura are fantastic. You've got quite a of talent. This is so well done, and I love the tiny details in your work. It's just great. If you want some real feedback let me know, but I love this to death.

Gonna make one tiny request, what's Kamas, without kamas? Take a look:

Haha. Awesome!
The colors are amazing. Did you do this all in marker?

Thanks everybody! Answering a few things now...
I also love the toxic sign on Radicat's cheek...

Wow, you must be psychic. I didn't draw any such sign on any of the drawings here, but it was part of the early steps that Radicat would have a radioactive sign on his...er, your back. I cut it out though, since it didn't work too well. I can still put it back if you want it. Also, the green flames, I got rid of that too, I reduced it to a faint green aura.
EDIT: Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, but that's only when Radicat puts this anti-radiation helmet on. You can tell that the thing is metal. And the green flames only come when he fires that giant plasma-like weapon. Don't ask me why he only puts the helmet on...maybe his body is unaffected by the waves...maybe not.
Whenever you post a new one of these, could you send me a PM telling me?

Sure thing. I can see your current avvie as a very adaptable character. It's the complex avvies (Like Elinor's) that are hard to put into the comic.
Gonna make one tiny request, what's Kamas, without kamas? Take a look:

Aah! So that is a kamas! Well, you say the rest of Super-Spork's arsenal, but that's only what she keeps on her belt. Super-Spork has one of those cartoon pouches, you know? The ones where you only have to reach behind your back to pull out exactly the object you need? Even if your back could never had hidden said item. Also, you can see that I drew ninja-shoes for Super-Spork, but she obviously doesn't need them! Silly me...
The colors are amazing. Did you do this all in marker?

Yes, I did. Felt-tip markers, but I also used colored pencils extensively. Most of the mushrooms are pencil, and the rainbow-colored background of the party is pencil as well.
(plus kamas is holding a buster sword-esque cleaver, what's not to love?)

Yep, it's that old Cloud Strife influence again. Except, Cloud's could break into many pieces.
Eeeek! Jenth, you are soo awesome. I agree wih Timmeh, I would love to own a copy of this. I love this. And, Yay! I look hot! xD

Lava, for you, I couldn't decide the power you would have (Everybody has a power, JD's is replication, in case nobody understood that) if it would be fireballs, something akin to a volcano eruption or if you would come out of your lamp in the form of a fire-lizard or whatnot. Help?

Okay, well, how about I'm this 'hot-magical-lampy-thing' out of which comes out some animal (fire-lizard, if you want) when it needs to do awesome power-using stuff?

I wantz to live in Muffuria! xD

I have to say, your adaptations of me are, well, better than my (admittedly awesome) efforts on MS Paint. But, pfft.

Seriously Jenny, these are amazing. I reeeaaaally badly want a copy for my wardrobe door (which, if you're confused, is a collage of awesometastic stuff. There is a poster of Rupert Grint and some 3D glasses).

You honestly have an amazing talent and, erm, I'm not biased. Not at all. :D

Haha, the replies to your stuff's always insanely entertaining.
Anyway, not much to say. Another spot-on couple of comics from Jenthura. Do you ever try getting your comics into newspapers? I think you should; that'd be pretty epic.
Well, this has been a kinda lame review, so without really anything to say, keep drawing.

Love it. Very creative and nice to see something else coming up around here! ;) I also think the unusual layout is kind of individual and perhaps instead of it being a comic and being perceived as hard to follow without a guidance diagram, you could actually have it as a piece of art in itself and the viewer would find themselves lost in it's own little story.

Anyway, good once again. Keep it up,
Ben

@Lava: Fire-lizard it is then!
@Amy: You wouldn't want to live in Muffuria. Ever wonder why Muffy wears the space helmet? It's because of the dangerous nitrogen-rich atmosphere. Breathe an ounce of that in and the next thousand-plus breaths you take will be through a tube. O_o
@storyweaver: I don't know any newspapers crazy enough to take my work. :D
@Ben: The guidance diagram was actually last minute, but it helped, didn't it? Anyways, I've seen extremely complex comics that went all over the page and would be impossible to read without the arrows. Those artists are beasts when it comes to comics. But I'll get there someday, maybe.
Also, I'm definitely going to take some form of art training soon. If not, I'll buy a book and train myself, then ya'll all be blasted away by my new awesomeness. Not to brag, of course...

Spoiler
By the by (XD) my dad gave me a set of ink pens and nibs and a whole bunch of colored ink. I've whipped up some really nice drawings, so that might come here soon.

Jenth, you never fail to amaze me. :D

These are absolutely amazingly stunningly undeniably to good to be real, awesome. :D If this gets made into a book (which I utterly hope it might one day) it would be the very first comic I will have ever owned.

PM me when you add to this - 'cos I need to see it. :D

Lots of love,
Mo.

All these . . . hmm. I liked the one with Muffuria written in the sky above the Barber Shop/ Colorful Hair Gel On Top looking city.

Otherwise I just can't like this; it reminds me of elementary school. Its got this Magic School Bus kind of look and I despise that cartoon. O_O

Sorry, this just doesn't suit my fancy. But, for the people who do like this kind of art, keep going with it. You're good at it.
