Unfortunately due to life circumstances DaleKuadeul & GrimShraham's Puppydebut had to forfeit this round. We hope they can enjoy their timeround in Crossroads! The plot was satisfying albeit the pace was somewhat slow and dialogue felt too long with not enough clarity at times. The symbolism of withering roses and discussion of grief were excellent. A very enjoyable read!

Lyla vs Azteron
Lyla
|
Azteron
|
Lyla's first fight in Crossroads! Her progression of paranoia was interesting and tense to witness! Overall, it would have been nice to see more of Azteron outside of the fight to better utilize the divine dynamic between the two. Very engaging and enjoyable round to read.
|
The grand debut of a vengeful self-righteous god striking down an empathetic devout believer. The digital medium for this comic was very creatively utilized here and was an enjoyable read. A great round overall!
