Monster Hunters Part 7

No complaints here.

I was expecting more of a "monster a day" series of strips, but this arc has turned out well. Looking forward to the conclusion tomorrow.

Monster Hunters Part 6

What a twist!

Alright, this one actually made me chuckle. Especially Brent's Egyptian pooping man symbol.

My only nitpick today is some of the punctuation. Francis in panel one should have an exclamation because he's, you know, exclaiming something. And Cole's line in the last panel sounds odd when phrased in the form of a question.

EDIT: Grammar has been fixed. No nits left to pick today.

Monster Hunters Part 5

It continues.

Seriously, the disappearing-reappearing ear pieces are bugging me. I'm not sure why they ditched their coats either.

Anyone else find the vertical strips on Brent's shoulders odd in panel 3? They look kind of jarring compared to the rest of that sweater.

Panel 4: Ouch...better watch for a bad case of Mummy Rot. I liked the "chomp" sound effect though.

Monster Fighters Part 4

Part 4.

Not much to say here, the punchline made me chuckle though. And Brent's earpiece has reappeared for some reason. 

My only critique is the pursed lips of Brent and Cole in panels 2 and 4 look odd.

Monster Fighters Part 2 & 3

Sorry for the delay, folks...had an impromptu day off which led to an impromptu road trip that took longer than expected. 

Part 2 doesn't really hold up, unfortunately. *Cracks knuckles*

As far as I know, Nilla  Wafers are an ingredient in Banana Pudding (more of a topping, really), but there's no banana in the wafers themselves. So I don't really get Brent's line in panel 1.

Does Cole look annoyed to anyone else in the 2nd panel? He seems to just be standing there during the exchange, like he's waiting impatiently for them to finish talking.

Alright, so they've got a PKE Meter...except it's not reading PKE.

They also seem to have lost their little headset pieces.

I know this is Kurtz reveling in some childhood nostalgia and I know this isn't meant to be a serious storyline. So I'm trying to keep an open mind here.

On a side note, I would love an 100x100 icon of Francis saying "You guys are @#*$&% retarded." for internet dramas. 

Part 3:

So now it's an MKE reader as opposed to a "Monster Detector", which in all honesty is a change I prefer. At least it's a nod to the source material.

I wonder who Francis stabbed with his plastic looking stake.

That's a nice monster hand though.

Monster Fighters Part 1

So I've heard of but never seen The Monster Squad. That is to say, I'm familiar with the premise of the movie and I guess this storyline will be an homage to it. 

One thing I don't get is Brent and Cole's earpieces. Are they nods to the movie? Because otherwise, lets get those boys some bluetooth. I'm not sure why Brent is wearing his "sneaking" turtleneck while cole seems to have stuck to his work clothes. The leather longcoats are a nice touch though.

As for the punchline, it's an old joke that works for the setup but didn't really do anything for me.

The Initiate

Alright, time for a good old fashioned Halloween story arc. I've always enjoyed these things, so I've got high hopes for the next two weeks. I'm really glad we've got a double sized strip, as the top 4 panels by themselves would have made for a boring comic.

As it is, I've only got one complaint today: Panel 5, Francis' right arm looks more skinny than usual. Maybe it's just because the kick SFX is overlapping it, or the perspective, but it looks like a stick arm coming out of his shirtsleeve. Also the combination of "Judo chop" left hand and "one finger extended" right hand strikes me as a bit off.
