A very good entry and prelude to the tournament properly. I love the train setting and I hope you run with that idea a little more. I think the blank panel on page 3 would work if it was read as a webtoons scroll but even in that case, I think I'd want something to run counter to it. I'm not sure, but it was a little awkwardly placed for my tastes. However, the package as a whole was great. I can't wait to see where this story goes if you survive! Well done!

This definitely fits as a Western, even though its a nontraditional one - the usage of old cars and Bonnie & Clyde style antics was a cool decision for something to setup Skiff's position as a criminal on the East Coast. I really love how you had both of these two playing off of each other and truthfully, I was expecting the police to have killed Florida. Your comic was well done and for only a week, you should definitely be proud! I am excited to see you pop in the tournament, whether Skiff or not! Good work!

BEAST. Utter ART BEAST after coming from the death Games. I can't tell you how inspiring it is to see just how many comics that're spilling out of you. I adored the establishing shot of that train only to lead us to a very cushy interior. You are really leaning into that classic west styling which is such a treat to see. It doesn't hurt that Findlee is such a compelling character design. They stand out in all the best ways. The red shades and white hat (cuz clearly he's a good guy?? maaaaybe?) are striking as hell. You have a great bit of action, but I'd love to see more omph to that kick. It's such a neat pose to use the overhead hand railings for support but I think there needs to be a bit more impact and lean to really drive home the power of that monkey kick. Really, at this point nitpicks. This comic stands really well as is. Great work!

I can't tell you how much I laughed reading this. I don't know if monkeys are just your thing, but this comic start to finish was so inspired. The expressions and action were totally killer- I can't even tell you which page was my favorite because the dynamic exaggeration was hitting throughout. I loved the reaction panel of Skiff going full :0 at being told he's gonna die. This monkey western theming must be your wheelhouse because this comic felt so comfy if that makes sense. You feel in your element and the story flowed really easily down to the drug addled end. Wonderful work!

Ninja - I don't know where you get all these energy to make these full colored comics one after the other but I am utterly impressed. What a delectable appetizer to Vine Noon tournament this comic is. The color pallette, the names and the dialogue all scream Wild West. While some fight scene poses on page 6 feel slightly stiff, they don’t detract from the action’s intensity. The final page, with Florida towering over Skiff, is pure badassery and an unforgettable highlight. Incredible work!

Pizza - this comic is a wild ride (quite literally if you get what I mean)! Doing a Death Match between Florida and Skiff right before the Vine Noon tournament is a bold move, and now I’m dying to see their rivalry play out with this intense history. It’s quite sad that one must die.Your storytelling thrives in the escalating chaos, with each page amplifying the madness. The cocaine-fueled scene with Florida and Skiff had me laughing out loud. Just pure hilarity! Fantastic work!

I really love how this exudes classic western vibes between the train and the tense personal banter exploding in a fight. The colors and paneling are great, and I especially like the cut-in on page 5 to keep the dialogue running smoothly, though I think some speed or emphasis lines for the action scenes would help sell them more. On the final page we last see Findlee's gun over his shoulder, so a small hint of it in the last panel would be nice to emphasize that Findlee's gunning him down (even if it's rather obvious).

Awesome work.

I applaud anyone with the guts to draw a car chase. It's a great way to start something in media res! The entire spirit of the comic can probably be summed up as "hijinks" so relegating the set-up to two panels works fine. There's some great comedy in here and I like the beat panels like Skiff saying "Spoons" or his reaction to Findlee saying he's going to kill him. Some more speed or motion lines could sell the movement more for stuff like the car chase, and the huge swing of the camera to show Skiff shooting out the window was a little disorienting.

Very fun!

Quite good! A gripping story! Very dramatic. You two have me stuck at a crossroads of comedy and drama, and me, I always go for drama if I can.
It's interesting how differently you both interpreted Florida's personality.
You went with a much more serious version of the criminal gibbon, rather than the madcap interpretation that Pizza Man went with. He remains the more lighthearted of the two, though.
It's also interesting how in both, the opponent character starts the fight.

This is a quite funny ride, but as I mentioned above, I'm more of a drama man.
Though, highlights include the spoons bit, and it's continuation, "If I knew it was cocaine, I would have just killed you and taken it."
Again, a laugh riot, but I prefer a more sober and serious angle, at least when done right, and ninja did do it right.
I love the idea of Skiff getting caught up in criminal shenanigans against his will, despite being a criminal in his own right.

Good stuff here. As always, great atmosphere, the colors are rich, you've got some very nice backgrounds, the action is clear and legible, you've found a groove with your comic art and it shows. I think the splash on page 5 is a bit lacking - it's the big dramatic fulcrum of the comic, but Florida's face is a little too tucked into the corner of the page, and the cut-in panel of Skiff's reaction breaks up the pacing a bit. I think that there would've been a nice place to either have Florida be smack-center, or to have it be more of a conventional page with multiple panels so the dialogue could rack up the tension.

Fun energy here, the facial expressions and liveliness of these characters made this a very enjoyable read. Page 5 especially made me giggle quite a bit. Quick notes - you should amp up your SFX text, its all quite thin and doesn't really read like sound effects - word balloons naturally draw the eye and so you can get away with smaller font due to the high contrast bg color, but since SFX have no balloon, they need some extra oomph for the reader to actually subconsciously comprehend them, and to liven up the page. And finally, i'm a broken record when it comes to this suggestion, but some more spot blacks would definitely help your art pop even more.
