Other then That I compliment because I have been writing and rewriting my dio story for years now with nothing really done. I posted a while back the two Joe short films I did for the Joelanta shows and the only negative feedback I got was on the band name for the songs. Well I will never change my band name . The film that me and my buddy did for last years show was over 400 photos when all said and done, and when we showed it only one person laughed. That was a cold reception but did not stop us as we are meeting this week to start writing the next story. All I will say is so far we think Stormshadow and Snake Eyes will be doing a musical number together but that will depend on if it really moves the story along or not. __________________ "Better to fight for something than live for nothing." -- George S.

I cant think of any other reason either... In your comic there are some mistakes/typos... but who cares, I 'mean reading your comics isnt learning english now is it?

And If something that involves as much work as your comic does, gets put on the net for everyone to enjoy for free, moaning about some grammar issues is just a slap in the face...

I enjoy your silly and original town of 1:18th figs. Fev typos here and there could not interest me less... keep doing what you do, if someone has a issue with your typing, its their probelm...

If you read Stephen King, his writing sucks according to the way I was taught to write in English class, but when you're talking about someone speaking, or expressing someone else's ideas, c'mon! Got news for you! 99% of us don't think or speak in perfect English!So if you're portraying REAL people you're English shouldn't be perfect...no worries!

However, I get enjoyment out of doing it, and THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS! How many times have you read a movie review that just panned the hell out of a movie? Then you see it and say, that was damn good! How many books have you read after someone said it was boring? How many items of food have you eaten that someone else said was awful? It comes down to "Hey, I like it so I don't care what other people say about it. Keep writing your stories, have fun with them, stop worrying what others say. I'm sure Stephen King has issues with people not liking his writing, (I am one of them).
