On Writing: Zortic is well-written with a wide cast of developed characters that weave through a world saturated with television parodies. It's clever, upbeat, and cheesy, making you swear you can hear the canned laughter in the background.
On Art: The artwork can't be considered fantastic by any stretch, but it's clean and lends well to the overall feel of the comic. Scenes are well established and layed out for solid impact of the occasional dramatic scenes.
On Website: The site itself is a bit messy with it's linkages and ads spread around the page, but I've never managed to get myself lost. The design...

On Writing: The writting is very random and silly throughout the entire comic, which is just about where it should be I'd say. Some of the pages are actually clever and have caused a chuckle or two, but I haven't been sent into any true laughs from the comic thusfar.
On Art: The art, such as it is for a photocomic, is very simple. The models make over-the-top gestures and expressions often, giving the comic a feeling of zaniness, but the shots also seem very quickly taken without too much thought on framing and impact. While the photography is high quality and clean, there wasn't much to wow me.

On Writing: The writting for the comic is deffinitely inspired by roleplaying sessions... being a part of many of them myself, I can recognize the goofball nature of RPers having fun. Whether this translates to well defined and dynamic characters remains to be seen. Out of all the characters Amulettes seems to be the only one who has a developed personality that makes her stand out from the others. Being such a young comic though, as time goes on the others will hopefully develop as well.
On Art: The artwork starts a bit shakey, but it certainly begins to firm up within the first ten pages with better linework and character proportions....

I don't remember a lot about the 70's... but that's ok, because if you were "doing it right" you probably don't remember a lot about them either. Now, I have an excuse - I was a baby - but the entire decade was an important era of our history... as American Pie aptly stated in 1971, the decade belonged to a "generation lost in space, with no time left to start again".
It was hard to follow up on the hippie era and the infamous Summer of Love of the late 60's, and many still mock the cultural movements of the 1970s (Disco music, big hair, 8-tracks). On the other hand, there are those who would wish to remember only the good things about the 70's, conveniently hand-picking those...

On Writing: Well developed characters and easy-flowing storyplots are a hallmark to a good comic, and Autumn Lake covers those angles well. The comic's writting is simple, quick to read, and avoids getting bogged down with overtly complicated matters. The characters are true to themselves and for the most part stay that way.
On Art: With a style that matches the dialog well, the comic has a look that is casual but clean, very much like any of your sunday funnies could have. In a world filled with manga eyes and photo-realistic gore, it's good to see some old skool comicy-ness is still out there.
