Octopus Pie - 5pts

 I found this comic very interesting and easy to understand. The only thing I had a problem with was that the whole thing seemed very unfortunate for the main character and she can never seem to catch a break. Nothing good ever happens but she just keeps going without being rewarded or fulfilled. The main character is pretty depressing and I much prefer Hanna over her. The comic is also very fast paced and I find it hard to understand what happened before moving on to the next problem. Like there's no "how does this make you feel" and no pause for the consequences. I thought a lot of things were pretty relatable though. There's a panel where Hanna and her boyfriend are talking to each other through pictochat on the nintendo DSI which is a major callback to my childhood and I was able to appreciate it.

Watchmen - 4pts

The use of red is very abundant in the comic which I think immediately sets the correct tone for the comic. I found the main character very interesting and I liked how is mask was never really drawn the same way. In three panels side by side they were blatantly all different designs for the mask on his face. I liked the antihero feeling to it all where the motive of the lead wasn't very clear and his morals are a little sketchy. It reminded me a lot of the feeling of Deadpool. At some points I found the character pretty funny in his complete disregard for others, like when he's breaking the man's fingers in the bar and asking everyone else for information. It's more crazy than threatening. This alternate world where all the superheroes are very disorganized, selfish, and fighting with each other is also very appealing. It's sort of a backhanded way of not having trust in humanity to use their powers for good but rather for their own benefit.

Pretty Deadly - 5pts

 I really loved this series of comics. I found the introduction with the rabbit skeleton and the butterfly very appealing. I thought that the characters were very unique and compelling to read about. The entire comic was written very poetically and I found myself determined to hear the end of the story. The girl with the vulture coat was very interesting to me and I ended up wanting to cheer her on. The visual form of the god of death was also very appealing and I also enjoyed how they set the story up, that was told at the beginning, to be the back story to one of the main characters. The fight scenes were epic and I loved the colors of red and orange that were prominent through the story. The whole thing flowed together very nicely and it was overall a huge pleasure to read.
