Heavy Metal C.R.A.P.² (not sure if this name will prevail...)

One more thing: I may not like to admit it, but I'm just a moron Kraut.
Meaning English is not my mothertongue and I'm still far away from keeping up with native speakers. So please feel free to correct any obvious mistakes and especially things, that might sound awkward to you - although the comics intention is not necessarily to be sophisticated.
Ah yes, before I get started: Heavy Metal C.R.A.P.² is a workingtitle. It was the first thing that came to my mind, but since it's obviously a rather cheap bootleg of Heavy Metal FAKK2... well, I'm currently thinking about something else.

It's only the localisation that gives away your native tougne (Inu Yasha??, might I suggest Uwe Boll's back catalogue?), otherwise it's pretty nicely done. I'm guessing it's put together in Photoshop, so you're certainly 2 steps ahead of the MSpaint crowd.
.....and thank god for that, because if I see one more 'The author can't draw X' joke in a MSP webcomic, I'm going to go looking for it's writer armed with a blowtorch and a pair of plyers.

I agree with that, it's just hard to decide, with the S.C.R.A.P.-character that I already had in mind... or maybe I could just rename him... hmm...
Never heard of Uwe Boll, to be honest.
It's just that this stupid Inu Yasha series' been bugging me for quite a long time nnow... maybe I can find a better compromise.
...and you're guessing right. I'm trying to use a kind of style that combines simplicity with some nice photoshop effects. Now all I need is a good name for that technique, so I can brag about it a little more...
Errmm... *runs off to have a look at YTOTW again*... maybe. Wasn't my intention, though.
Thanks for the feedback so far.

The new Ed wood. Y'know all those terrible movies based on games that get produced? That's him.
It does remind me some what of the Deluxe paint style of homebrew graphics, back in the amiga days. One thing that might help is switching over to Paintshop, it's not as powerful when it comes to filtering, but is far superior for cut and paste stuff, and is better suited to the more personalised MSpaint style of image editing.

And the humans could have been worse... Making the Destroyer of Worlds watch Naruto or something.
Laughlyn: Bah. MS Paint comics can be a refreshing breath of air in a filter-laden world. Oh, how I miss the quality writing that was the core of the Low-Res Renaissance.

Sorry kids, but megaman blasting Mario went out of fashion in the late 90's

Oh, that's simple. English, as you might know, is the number one spoken language. So in order to reach a wider audience, I chose to not use German this time.
Still, I'm not sure whether my English skills are good enough to write a whole website in it. I thought about translating it all into English once, but I'm some kind of perfectionist when it comes to those things - and I wouldn't want to publish something that would only make people laugh just because it doesn't make any sense at all.
However, the site's title as well as the other English phrases I use are very easy to understand, even for Germans. Plus, it just sounds cooler. Plus plus, I'd puke if I had to replace the 'About'-section with an 'Über'-section.
