Mobius Legends Issue #1 - Page 7 (Old)

I'm finally back! That means I can get around to reviewing this issue. First, congrats to everyone involved in getting this comic out. It's nice to see so many artists band together to continue the original timeline. As for the comic itself, it's a good introduction as to what happened when the Genesis Wave hit. TuxKnux provides us with an explanation that the clash at the end of Worlds Collide could have resulted in multiple timelines. It's probably the most reasonable direction to take when trying to explain this comic's continuity, although it could have been made a little clearer. On page 3, Zonic says that the original timeline was destroyed while looking at some sort of mushroom cloud. This doesn't really gel with the whitewash of the Genesis Wave, nor does it piggyback onto his next statement that the timeline wasn't destroyed. Anyway, I get where you're going with this. The cameo of Robolactus is a funny addition.

The artwork surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to look this good, but it just goes to show that three heads are better than one. Props to XSonicPencillerX for excellent page layouts and a high level of detail. I'm glad to see he took the time to draw individual screens for Zonic's HQ. It matches the look of the base in the comics and provides some extra eye candy to flesh out the story visually. The characters are, for the most part, very close to established proportions and just as expressive. Praise also goes to Drawloverlala and WaniRamirez for the inking and colouring, respectively, both of which are crisp and bright. Ramirez obviously took a cue from Matt Herms in the art style, and it really makes the colours pop. If there's one thing that needs fixed, it's the lettering. (I believe that's your department, Yarcaz.) First of all, find a consistent font size! You keep changing it every time you switch bubbles. In fact, Zonic's dialogue on the bottom-left of page 2 is ludicrously squashed. Pick a size that is legible at a moderate resolution. I see that you upload pages at full resolution, but I think you would be better off adjusting to around 650x900 pixels so that readers don't have to zoom in to maximum just to make out the dialogue. Something to consider for future pages.

Overall, this is a praiseworthy debut to a passionate group project. I'm curious to see where you'll go from here. This final page suggests you'll pick up from the end of Sonic #247, but the discussion on Bumbleking suggests that you were planning on revamping Endangered Species where everything started to fall apart. Certainly that was the impression I got from the last group comic. Anyway, looks like you still have a lot of ground to cover. Good luck with the rest!
