I’m with Brendan, once week would sound really good (It is about perfect for me). Only thing I have in my mind when talking about rushing comics is this finnish internet comic called “sosiaalisesti rajoittuneet” [translated something like "sosially weak"] that updates comics once a day.

It’s totally boring shit nowadays.

Make me laugh, once a week would be really awesome.

2 updates a week isn’t needed, but a solid update a week, once a week would be nice.

Just thought I’d add - while the art isn’t exactly WOO PHOTOREALISM AND LENS FLARE, I enjoy the quality nevertheless, especially the way you draw faces.

In the last panel of the “Gundam 00 #2″ comic, the haunted expression on his face made me crack up. It really sold the punchline in a way dialogue alone couldn’t. :D

I say go you. \o/

I might be back with slightly more useful feedback, but I mostly agree with rawshark’s comments on the character development issues. (Also, megatokyo completely lost me at some point.)

Giving your characters, um, more character doesn’t mean having stories about their past history in long multi strip arcs. Characters can have personality through short stories. Calvin and hobbes, any looney tunes character, three stooges, penny arcade, and blah blah blah all have an identifiable personality that people enjoy without all the megatokyo story arc bs. So no worries your current format can handle it.

However, bear in mind I haven’t read too many of your comics, I think your characters are a little self indulgent and they don’t stand out enough. In Genshiken terms, there’s no Kasukabe, Madarame, or early Ogiue characters that stir up character chemistry.

Hopefully that gives you something to think about and helps out. My advice batting percentage is 50/50 so….yeah…later
