....Been working on this for a year now....been an idea in my brain for about 10 years...My cousin and I collaborated on this, and he scripted a story that would kickstart a series based off my characters....
I have refrained from posting ANY art from this, despite an overwhelming urge to share it online for feedback (save for my sig)....
So take a look at the first four pages and meet my character RADIKKA-
I have 22 other pages ready to rock, and I will be printing an ashcan within the next few weeks. The 'Eternal Hero' title is just a filler until we come up with something better....the sky in the first page has been updated with stars/gradient since making a that lo-res copy.....
Now I am tackling the cover/logo.....I inked the two characters, but scanned it before I finalized the buildings....I wanted to see if you thought it looked good first....does the perspective work? Is it layed out okay?
I just typed the title in Photoshop, but here are a few other title ideas I came up with....
....not sure if I want to do anything too weird...just bold text may stand out better...thoughts? Any cool ideas will be appreciated.

I guess I have to agree with the other ones. It's very well done, it has a very good style of talking in it as well. Not too much text boxes and you let the images speak for itself. Awesome job on the colors as well, it gives it the dark atmosphere.
I think that if the main character is a kind of martial arts master, the first title you scetched should work the best (if you made it more bold maybe?), the second one is also close to what I mean.
Anyway, great job. I would definetly check it out if it was sold at our local comicbook store. Keep working on this

You probably haven't read mine cause we posted at the exact same time.
Btw about the cover: there's nothing wrong with the perspective, but you have to agree with me on the fact that you show on the cover who is already bleeding to death and who the 'winner' is. Isn't it much better to NOT show it and let the reader discover it while reading? Maybe it's better to have a cover with both alive on them, as you know, rivals or something?

He looks bit like Maxim wearing a mask lol (coincidence?)
anyway Like it a lot as usual =)
I agree on Pooh bt the title, the "I" should stand out more coz people always like to associate themselves with the maincharacter and wanne be the badass hero ;P
keep it up =) (and comin)

Thanks man....I think the whole comic is inspired by Prodigy....c'mon, Prodigy are the blood pumping through the story and art for sure! Maxim? Dunno, hes visually a mix between Casey Jones (from TMNT) & DragonBallZ.
