My first critique!

First, the overall page is very striking. I love where you put the blacks, especially with the black page background. Choosing to use the white panel borders inside the overall black composition in order to avoid bleeding the black content of the panels with the background was a good idea. I don't think it would have worked well otherwise.

I enjoy the grittiness of the piece. You really give the impression of a dirty, nasty fight having taken place in the previous pages. Good stuff.

That said, I really had a hard time understanding what was going on in panels 1-4. Somewhere between the linework and the textures, I lost what I was supposed to be looking at. I think that a more explicit depiction of exactly what is in each panel would have worked better. Fun drawing and grittiness aside, we've got to *tell* the story, and sometimes I think that means getting very simplistic with what you draw in those panels--so that the audience has no choice but to see clearly what is in the panels, making it a clearer story.

Once I figured out what the panels contained, I will say that I liked very much the montage-themed shots of the defeated foes behind the main, battle-spattered winner. Good choice, and very Japanese of you!

I also liked the pacing overall of the page. As the eye crawls down the main hero, I got a real sense of the "quiet after the storm", then POP! I got the funny end panel. Great choice of camera shot, and I liked the can breaking the panel border so that we could see exactly what the joke was. If you had kept it inside the panel border, I think the impact would have fizzled.

Overall, I liked this! I'm laying out pages myself right now, so I understand how PAINFUL it is to choose panels and camera angles to tell a story.

Keep it up, man!

Great technical skill. I like the blood and gore and the grittiness you've successfully portrayed here. I don't exactly get what's going on in the first panel (maybe I'll understand it better if I see the previous pages ), but if that's supposed to be liquid, I think it sort of looks more like the trunk of a tree than splashing liquid. Also, the hand is kind of small. The second and third panel look abstract to me. While I think that is interesting, I don't think abstract is what you're aiming for here. The guy reminds me of the dad from Death Note Overall, nice job
