My first pic is Ed's. Ed did an exceptionally fine job of drama, mixing in a bit of mech as well. Ed made the environment into a cast characters... the tomb, the trap, is the antagonist. The story keeps you involved at until the end.
The second is Tang's. Tang has an ability to make even the strangest of social situations very believable with great ease. A good cliffhanger. It lags slightly during the phone call, but making phone calls interesting in a comic is a very tough act.
The third is Yan Wen. The art is really good, very shoujo. The next page was very unexpected, and really funny as a result.
Some other comments Kendy's entry shows that her ability to tell a story is improving greatly. The layouts are good, though the comments are kind of distracting.
Jose's entry is funny, though the layouts are crowded. Perhaps inking the panels would have helped. Otherwise a great entry... the walrus reminds me of Jabba the Hutt.
James's entry shows that he is getting really good at layout techniques. However, I have to admit I really didn't understand the story all that well... some prior explanation or ambiance would help.
COK's entry I think is the best drawn in the group. COK has a mastery of CGing technique in comics effectively. Again, some prior explanation or slower pacing would help draw in the reader before it ends.
Padder's entry is funny and well drawn, but didn't make the top 3 because it didn't play with my expectations as well as Yan's did.
Chun's entry is exceptional too in terms of art... but I think introducing the suitor as more than "many interesting people" would add to the touching ending. The layouts are great too!
CR2's entry: Well planned and drawn, but make for an extrememly packed 7 pages, especially with so much explanative text involved. If this were twice the length (in terms of just amking bigger panels and fewer panels per page) this entry would rise above all the others.
Jake's entry ... well executed in story and layout, but the last page didn't deliever quite the punch that the story was building to. Otherwise, a well done entry.
