Inverloch review.
Friday, November 30th, 2007Visually, Inverloch is quite beautiful to look at. However, the rest of the comic left me cold. And as nice as it is on the eyes, the art isn’t lovely enough to cover up the flaws.
The art for Inverloch is quite nice. Every page is fully colored and shaded, and has a rich background. And [...]
Inverloch Review
Thursday, November 29th, 2007Inverloch is what most ‘novel’ webcomics should be: it’s a story that used both art and words to convey the action, inform us about the characters, and move the plot along. As a webcomic, it requires a bit of patience to read though, both while it was being updated and if you are simply starting [...]
A review of Inverloch
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007This selection is a bit longer than the others that CSB has reviewed thus far, but well worth the time spent. As it stands, Inverloch is a very well put together piece.
For reasons he can’t explain to himself, Ash the Da’Kor (a short furry race with claws and tiny horns) is drawn to an elvish [...]
Wake Up Call
Monday, November 26th, 2007So did our experiment work, or did CSB die a sudden and unexpected death? We’ll find out when We return!
Royal Rainbow!
Okay, so aside from figuring out what I did during my Thanksgiving weekend, we haven’t had much in the way of posts here. That means I’m really going to have to check on what everyone [...]
Dr. McNinja review
Thursday, November 15th, 2007Dr. McNinja is a comic that swings between a string of absurdities, and reality. That’s where most of its humor comes from-not simply being odd, but upsetting our expectations about what’s going to come next. Occasionally this falls flat, but most of the time it works quite well.
The art is definitely the strongest part of [...]
Next Review: Inverloch
Monday, November 12th, 2007This week is another attempt at experimentation with our schedule, since I’d like to find something that works for Christmas, and Thanksgiving is coming up next week.
Our next review is:
Inverloch
Inverloch is actually a comic that was reccommended for the MZDM, and was always something I wanted to see reviews for (the comic was popular at [...]
Review of The Adventures of Doctor McNinja
Sunday, November 11th, 2007With a name like McNinja, one should obviously not expect to find anything too serious to read in this comic. Expectedly it’s quite absurd, but it does have elements of a plot and reasonably consistent characterizations. Still, Dr. McNinja is mainly just a funny read that more or less hits the mark.
Following every cliche possible [...]
Would you like smoke bombs with that?
Friday, November 9th, 2007I’ve seen Doctor McNinja before and, well, I was never much impressed with it. It seemed to be a simple parody, and one that was not terribly funny, at that.
I can’t say that the intervening years have made it any funnier, but it certainly appears to be something more than just a simple parody. Although, [...]
Next Review: The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
Monday, November 5th, 2007Sorry if I seemed to disappear off the face of the Earth last week. Just was feeling kind of crumby with a cold. Unfortunately, I don’t think this week’s selection with help with any clearing up of the virus, unless my antibodies start forming microscopic katanas.
Our next comic is:
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja
I was reminded that [...]
5ideways Review.
Monday, November 5th, 20075ideways is a comic about the world gone wrong, as the laws of physics are completely altered in unpredictable ways. My immediate impression of 5ideways was that it had a lot of potential. But after finishing the comic thus far, I think there hasn’t been much use of that potential, and I can only hope [...]
