I usually don't laugh out loud at many things on the internet, but towards
the middle of this comic I caught myself (at first I didn't realize I was
doing it) laughing out loud while reading. It was like sipping a cool soda -
very refreshing.
I really like the chemistry of Xander and Serena. The whole
plot is very "Big Trouble in Little China"-ish (1). The characters kind of
make fun of themselves, but you don't take it over the line, so the
story doesn't get cheesy.
The MOC itself (I won't post spoilers) is awesome! I love the amount of
details asa well as the color scheme that went into it. I would have loved
to see a larger picture of it as the protagonists came upon it - for
effect - ala Wilson Raska (2). It would have been very called for.
The writing is crisp, the lines are sharp, and the story is moving along
quickly. The 27 or so panels that made up the comic was a perfect
amount for s short comic. I was sated at the end, but don't get me
wrong - I would have GLADLY kept on reading.
One small suggestion that I have - the white text sits very nicely,
but when using black with the white undertone, make it a little more
opaque so it doesn't stand out as much (if you are using Photoshop).
So again - I've already read it multiple times - fun read :)

(1) http://us.imdb.com/Title?0090728 - the movie is very fast paced, but
still makes fun of itself all the way through (on a very subtle level).
