Dream "Man"'s Stage: Review 2: Lost Chapters of Megaman

This time I'm reviewing Cryosis'
Lost Chapters of Megaman

This is a solidly done comic. There's not much godmoddery, Plot holes are only created with the intention of filling them up later, and the humor is quite passible as well, with a few better points of humor scattered throughout, and You've even used plot points effectively to cover for graphical disadvantages (Such as giving a reason to use 8-bit graphics to get the rest of the RM's into the comic)
Graphically you're solid as well. There's no really complex sprite edits among them(Except for Cryosis), but everything there is done well.
The backgrounds falter once at the beginning but thats no big deal. Still nothing too hard, but still done very well. You use what resources you have quite effectively. You even use zoom effects, and a few (only first person) This comic will keep going strong.
I really can't give too many tips for this one plotwise, You're comic is about as rock solid plotwise as my own (Heck I consider it a rival).
Graphically, I can somewhat. Sprite comic as a rule rarely break a few boundaries, One of which is the fourth dimention (Not the fourth wall) You do so enough to prove you comic world isn't 2-D, but the background could use more interaction. CHanging the camera angle is HECK to pull off, but well worth it, you've done that too, but only from a first person perpective.
Other than that just keep up the good work! OVerall, I enjoy this (As in Lost Chapters of Megaman) comic.
Now for stuff about my own comic…
Hey readers? I drop hints about future plots from time to time, so if something seems odd, Speak up! I'd like feedback, so predictions, theories and questions are also welcome. Also Hello Lurkers.
Also watch X's hands carefully on those last panels, it will make more sense that way.

Perhaps Boilman. Zero was stopped mid-dash plus his center of gravity is forward... Really it depends on how much forward momentum Zero got and when X let go off his hair. @Cryosis: Nice thought actaully. Time traveling in my comic has a few things about it I'll explain later...

I think it'd be more logical for Zero to lie on his back. After all, that's the way he is falling to in the second-last panel. Also, nice easter-egg: Zero trying to break the Methat.

I wonder if Iris knows anything about X's little sister.. @silverlaser: I think X grabbed Zero's hair (which got Zero off balance causing the subsequent fall) and thank you for such a grand review (want to say more but can't think of asnything else to say about it at the moment)

Whoa, almost forgot about this comic. Glad you're back, I guess.

X pushed Zero so he would break? Nice Comic Ndraxian
