Fourth Review – Loserz

Pros:
The art evolves from a very rough style that heavily apes an anime style to its own unique individualistic cartooning style. Also the characters go from merely being props for simplistic jokes to actually being fleshed out personalities.
Cons:
First off I’m getting this feeling that maybe some webcomics shouldn’t be read in large doses because the development of the webcomic is so organic and not as methodical. But thinking about that, I don’t know if I would have stuck around so long for the creator to find his voice (or change his voice). The first part of the webcomic is just bland Anime/Video Game/School/Sex/Pop culture humor that too many webcomics seems to rely on. I honestly didn’t laugh once while reading it because the humor was too obvious or too contrived. Then later as the creator seems to get a feel for the characters that he’s been writing for so long, he starts to make them have “real” issues and there’s all this drama and angst flying around. I’m sorry but the early strips of the webcomic didn’t really endear me to the characters, so I don’t see why I would be interested in their problems now that they’ve added a 3rd dimension.
Final Verdict:
I’m noticing a trend with some webcomics now. The same with Waspi Square, this webcomic seems to be a serious learning experience for the creator. The annoying thing is that they all graduate from a humor strip, to a coming of age story. How come these webcomics end at the same destination? And how come if they’ve learned things from making the webcomic and make a new better crafted story with a more defined structure and plot. Their original webcomic is so meandering and organic that I don’t know what it’s suppose to be and I’ve lost interest in figuring it out. Do they not make new stories because they’re afraid to loose the audience they’ve established?
Are webcomics in their tween or teen years where they’re getting maturity and depth but still don’t have a firm grasp on their own identities and their place in the world? (But they assume they fully understand everything regardless).
