It’s a real shame you weren’t able to submit anything, but it’s been a pleasure having your presence in the tournament, and seeing you get this far. We all hope the best for you!

*Miyukitty The monochrome shading that comes alive with color for emphasis made this such a beautiful finale! The action scenes have such incredible movement, and the ending is particularly poignant. This comic has so much heart, it was a real pleasure to read. Congratulations!
~Iron-Zing I really liked page 5 where we see what is happening to Carver and Corey at the same time~ And the ending was great and I felt it really tied everything together. But I had a hard time telling the difference between Corey's inner thought bubbles and her speech bubbles, maybe next time have them be alternate colors, or italicize the thought text.
~edface I can tell you tried a lot of new things with your paneling and story telling... and it really paid off. You kept a nice level of tension and told too sides of the story without being too distracting. I can tell you're varying the angles and compositions in each panel too. One thing to note is how crowded the dialogue bubbles are in the majority of this comic. Try to plan your panel compositions more mindful of the text that will be there. Remember, the bubbles and words are as much as an artistic tool to get your reader's eyes to move about the pages as the art itself is!

158 Kiro *Edowaado 35/36/20➔ 91
This was a brilliant closing chapter, drawing on Kiro's experiences from previous rounds such as being the flag. It was also very clever to use Clementine's aura as a tool in battle to affect all of the Pokemon in various ways. The tone changes a bit abruptly in places, and sometimes we lose focus on Kiro due to the large cast of characters, but overall this was a very solid piece of writing -- with a surprisingly sweet ending! Congratulations!
099 Vron ~ColdCreature 29/31/20➔ 80
It's good to see such closure with this core group of friends. Artwise, the lack of backgrounds and close zoomed-in paneling feels a bit claustrophobic, but it's still easy to follow the action. And it's quite rewarding to battle the final boss in such a decisive manner, and tie up all those loose ends!
235 Alex ~SebasVishno 35/36/20➔ 91
This finale had so many homages to other contestants and their own unique plots that it was really incredible to read! Alex's personal journey and development comes to a peak here -- strengthening his bond with his Pokemon, but also realizing there are greater goals out there to strive for than simply running away from home. The shading brings each panel to life, and the color epilogue stands out beautifully in comparison. Congratulations on such a strong finish!
020 Hughes ~Micka33 24/27/4➔ 55
So close, and yet so far - incomplete! Still, this was a fast-paced and brutal chapter, with enough exposition to clear up the mysteries of previous rounds. Good luck completing it!
068 Uva ~elgesugha 21/30/17➔ 68
Inconsistent artwork and an abrupt cliffhanger hurt your score, but overall this was a climactic final chapter. Chana's mysterious assailant reveals himself to be the villain, creating a conflict for the Pokemon separated from their trainers. The resolution is satisfying, so good luck finishing the rest!
016 Shad ~SuperHurricane 16/15/20➔ 51
The entry was interesting, but I felt like all the problems, such as Clementine wanting a pokemon and Melissa's attack, were dealt with much too easily. I didn't feel much excitement when your trainer won. Also, next time maybe use text instead of handwritten words, I had a hard time reading it.
045 Rayne ~halibabica 30/38/20➔ 88
Wonderful final round, I enjoyed the battle with Keiro and the fight with Melissa was great, she was perfectly in character~
030 Flynn ~ForAdventure 5/5/6➔ 16
005 Lewis ~Gomis 31/35/20➔ 86
Aw man, I was REALLY enjoying the comic, but it ended so soon! ;o; I had hoped I'd see them storm the tower, oh well
026 Tye ~101WildChild101 23/31/17➔ 71
I liked the Rampardos battle, but the ending seemed kind of abrupt
105 Maxie ~BlueEevee 24/21/10➔ 55
Aww! I'm glad they kissed. The flashback was interesting, just a little hard to make sense of. Try not to lean dialogue so much to explain things. I'd also like to see varied panel structures and angles from you in future comic endeavors!
196 Christopher ~SOTDcorp 25/16/9➔ 50
It's a very cool format. I wish it'd come to full fruition.
247 Jamie =RabiesGirl 7/7/5➔ 19
094 Leonard *Renegar-Kitsune 29/26/20➔ 75
I was sad to see this entry lacked the charm of your former entries. I especially missed the presence of the Pokemon you spent so long building! Your lines are very solid, and I can definitely see effort in your work, but the story seemed too straightforward to score higher.
011 Tyler ~FakaPokeBio  27/27/5➔ 59
Twist! I've always enjoyed your style, especially seeing it grow into something unique. Unfortunately, when the quality dropped off, this entry became a little too incomprehensible to fully enjoy.

Closing statement forthcoming, but I have to say now: THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!! I sincerely hope it was a fun and educational experience for you!
