"Awesome is an overused word but..."

date: November 1, 2009

Totally awesome !

First the drawing and inks are fantastic - the shadows and the way you handled the lighting are truly stunning.

Secondly, it's hilarious !

I love the way the amphibian man looks really awkward and embarrassed to be there after the fella slips and stabs his missus in the eye. Sometimes even monsters don't know where to look.

I feel slightly guilty for laughing at it...

I have never heard of Innsmouth before, but I have just googled it, and they do look alike. Thanks for the review man.

What a great job you did on this one.
The first panel lured me in with the notion this was gonna be really gritty and violent fishman slaughter.
But it turned out to be hilarious and comical.

I really love it.
