It's all a pretty good job. You know, it seems sort of mainstreamy to throw Kingdom Hearts, Invader Zim, and Sonic all into one comic, considering they're all huge iconic fanbases. Meh, oh well, you pull it off well. There are no graphic flaws; it's not tackily fancy or grittily low-quality. All of the sprites look pretty good.

It's a little difficult to follow the plot, since they're all custom characters, but I guess that's just a consequence of custom comics. They're good characters.

Ah, I'm sorry to say that I can't call a few days inactivity on a fanart topic "ignored," FH. If you'll check back on the October 2nd post I made on the first page of my topic, I posted 8 pictures over the span of one month, with not one of them receiving any comments at all. After that, I had to wait over a week more before somebody finally commented. It's not anything you can rush, I'm afraid.

On another note, I like the classy way you name each comic! That's snazzy.

Thank you. The comics' setup, as well as the comic itself, is a tribute to several things:

~Setup~

• The titles are a tribute to Rocky And Bullwinkle, with the dual titles.
  
• The resolution is 240x160, the default pixel resolution for GBA roms, as well as the GBA/SP itself.
  
• The layout is 4-koma style, a type of comic in Japan known mainly for its humor.
  
• In scenes where one character uses a move, the move name box is a tribute to Yu Yu Hakusho.

~Comic~

• The setting of the comic is a tribute to Arcadian fanfictions by Anthony Bault, what with the frequent use of both Sonic and Megaman backgrounds (which represent Arcadia).
  
• Finalhazard's name is a tribute to SA2's final boss, The Final Hazard.
  
• Edwardo is the son of Meowth. Meowth is from Pokemon.
  
• Specter is the bad monkey from Ape Escape. We reformed him.
  
• FH's uniform is the same as the Hagaren military. Hagaren is the world Full Metal Alchemist is set in. Also, FH is an official State Alchemist.
  
• The enemies are the Heartless, which are from Kingdom Hearts as you pointed out.
  
• The appearance of Zatch Bell in comic 9 is a running gag I'm starting, to reference Mortal Kombat's "Toasty" guy.
  
• Seraph's face in Comic 11, in the mirror, is a direct reference to Bleedman's Zim from the PPGD.
  
• Antihazard in comics 13/14 is a reference to the Antisora boss/enemy from KH1's Neverland world.
  
• Xeria Nein's last name is a reference to Sasha Nein from Psychonauts.

I could go on but I won't. XD

Sorry for this double-post, but I finished off Arc One. The links? Why, my good person, they're up on the first post!
