Page one of the Super Meat Boy comic.
The People Have Spoken
Average Score: 9.3 / 10
I don't know why but I am indeed a BIG fan of Meat Boy and the crew.
The artwork, although simplistic, is very vibrant with colors and put together just nicely.
The comic in it's entirety deserved some respect, along with the franchise. Meat Boy brings back the classic 2D style type games with gameplay that has not been done before.
The art, the comic, everything Meat Boy is simply brilliant.
Dr. Fetus & his ladies.
Poor guy, got killed...
Poor girl, got taken...
Poor Doctor, got inspired to do it....
:P
This is one of the greatest comics of all time.
me-> 0 my ladies->
More like orgasm at first site!
AM I RIGHT...LADIES...ladies?
The facetious nature of this comic was just hilarious to the nth degree. ("A sad, lonely man with nothing better to do than to troll the internet.") The cute chubby characters and the colour scheme were a nice touch as well. And of course, the flash game was awesome itself, and I really wish I could play the WiiWare Super Meat Boy!
Also I just had to review because of its 5.03 score. Note to everyone, if you want to preserve this score, DON'T vote 5. It actually brings down the score, to my disappointment.
you must be xxxxxxxxxtra special to get the extra .3
Just taking a look at the odd score you seem to have there. At any rate, I loved the lighthearted nature of this comic. Such great humor can really go unappreciated these days. I loved how you managed to make each character bursting with liveliness, and I loved the satirical look on Dr. Fetus. Can't wait for the game, and hope you make more of these before then.
5.03 Amazing and here i thought you could only get a five way to go the extra mile
I think this is realllly good.
You misspelt lonely. You effed up, you monster. How could you.
This is cool, I like how you put the forest backdrop behind the panels instead of leaving it white or a solid color. The backgrounds are really pretty and nice but the characters aren't as tight as I've come to expect from your other work. That's all nitpicking though, top notch as usual.
And hey listen here bud you can't spam my AIM s/n that you pulled from the e-mail I sent you way back without actually responding to the e-mail. Homie don't play that.
I'm still gonna click 'em but homie don't play that.
Awesome, like the movie too.
8/10*
this mite just be a glitch but it says 6.34/5.00 ??????
nice btw!!!
All in all, I like the muted color backgrounds, where you got rid of the black borders, creates a sharp contrast, but over all this doesn't feel strong at all.
For example, Dr. Fetus' head in the 4th panel, suddenly turns into a small round blob of a body, not holding shape at all or consistency. In the 5th panel, lonely is spelled incorrectly as well.
Your second panel forest clearly shows that you just are using a screen shot background with in game assets or old art, since the trees are repeating, meaning you couldn't be bothered to draw a separate set for this panel. While in a game, this general works because the user is focused on motion on screen, going into static shots, these things become much more apparent.
I enjoy your work consistently, but this has to be one of the pieces that could really do with a little extra time on the drawing board.
the images are amazing, but the writing is basic and lacks depth.
This is a great drawing, and good luck, I'll be waiting for it on Wiiware!
Looking forward to the others!
So cute in the third box/panel!
WORK EVERYTIME!
I guess this is some sort of a teaser, for the upcoming Super Meat Boy. The drawing is really cool and I can't wait for the new game to come out. hope it will be as fun as the previous one
I want to eat meat...........
lol
Proof that Fetus (along with band-aids and hunks of meat) are living creatures too. But seriously awesome and differently deserves front page.
"Nothing better to do THAN troll on the internet"
Other than that, loved it.
Bandaid Girl and Meat Boy looks so cute togheter... actually, even Dr. Fetus looks cute, awesome job man :D
but she doesn't look particularly bandaid-y
Wt fuck? oh well, that comic was awesome.
wrong account
it was all rite
cartoon art is so awesome such bold expressions and colors. the evil plot was hilarious
So that's the story of the game.... Aw, forget plots. I just want to play the game on WiiWare already! Hurry up so I can download it already! I NEED IT!!!
Sorry. Take as much time as you want... as long as you take almost no time at all.
I am so getting this
