(Kind of make him look like a divine Hugh hefner, though...
Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, mind you...)
I don't disagree witht the sentiment but I have to wonder why is Hades alway made to be the badguy in modern interpretations ?
Between 'My sons are canibalistic abominations and I sink ships everytime I feel a little moody' Poseidon and 'Let me send you to war so I may impregnate your wife while you are away' Zeus , he was probably the tamest of the three major olympians.
Well he did enslave a goddess to come to his part of the universe for six out of twelve months, he rules over the part of the world considered to be the bad part in modern interpretations (hell) and his name sounds very similar to 'hate'.

Allow me to recite a much overused quote that fits with this page:
"IT'S A TRAP!"
Bad memes aside, this page was pretty good.
Oh, and the blue 'flames' in the other two pages look like spiked glowing blue mountains to me. :P
EDIT: I also think an update to the first post would be much helpful, since people like me who check topic first posts for updates might think the comic hasn't been updated in a while.
...Yes, I actually thought that was the case.

Okay, I know, I know, there's no new page yet, and I shouldn't post when I don't have anything to post - but there's a reason why there's no new page yet. There's something I want to do. It'll be worth it, you'll see.
Well, maybe it won't, but I'll leave that up to you to decide once it's finished.
I'm posting this heads-up just so people will know this comic isn't sliding slowly towards death. I'm still hoping to have the next page up by the end of the week. But just in case I don't. Also, now that I've promised y'all a new page, there's added pressure. ;)

The comic kinda has Death himself up there, so sliding towards it seems improbable.
And, please, let it be the much asked for Flame of Hades rehash what this delay promises.

Well, I got delayed even more (now there's a surprise) and didn't get to doing the thing that I wanted to do to completion. Maybe next week. Any longer than that and I'd have to go back to advancing the plot. O:
This page wasn't meant to be a standalone, but such is fate.

Lots of little details and I like the changes in view points. It's a strong comic visually.
I did think for a moment that Izzy's eye had gone terrifyingly strange for a moment in the last panel when the page first loaded but I figured out they were sunglasses soon enough. I'm not really sure what, if anything, would make them more sunglassy... maybe if the highlights were more angular?
Also, one of Izzy's doubles (quintuples?) has a foot straying out of the panel barrier on the left hand side of the strip...
Also, also, your speech bubble work seems to be improving.

The last pannel is a little confusin, for a short while I was wondering if he was on a sudden drug trip before I realised that those weren't anormaly wide eyes, you should make the mount of the glasses a little more visible.
i do like the monsters, this comic really establishes them as smart pack hunters and a real threat.

Can't wait to see the battle unfold. From the looks of it, it's going to be awesome.

Glad I wasn't the only one who got confused about the sunglasses ().
I think LixLorn Smuchmuch has pointed out the biggest issue with them: the bridge of the sunglasses are very thin and meet almost exactly with his eyebrows. With all that black (hair, eyes, eyebrows, hand, arm, a lot of the mouth...) it was pretty much bound to get confusing... I think a different style of highlights might help too though, and I did realise they were sunglasses pretty quickly.
Edit: Woops Smuchmuch is using an avatar Lix used to use and I neglected to read the name. Sorry Smuchmuch!

I have as many gripe as I do approvals, I like how you draw those giant lizard things, I dislike how you leave the characters mouths closed. I'm amazed at your attention to detail in character design but the flawed and somewhat awkward positioning of other details. It's pretty good job though and I like how you drew the mummy villains I just wish Isobel used Shadow Necromancy too
The overall detail is nice as is the pyramid relative architectural consistency.
I praise:
The detail on the dragon thingies
The positioning and viewpoint changes
The deatil in the visual gore
The character design for this strip, sunglasess specially were nicely done IMHO
The details on the panel frames
I however criticise:
The palm trees. They need thinner trunks, and the tops need to be more varied.
The jungle background, related to above detail, it doesn't look quite right.
The before pointed out feet line.
The base of the spells fume, it's too perfectly rounded.
The lack of YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!! in the last panel, it had the sunglasses and if the comment balloon was shrunk a bit it would have fitted perfectly, even maybe a panel of the pyramid with the trees from far away.

Dvandemon: Thank you, though the mouths will stay closed.
As for necromancy - Izzy is too handsome to mingle with rotting corpses.
Pinky & Akrim:
I don't support memes (yes I do), and I don't like CSI (I really don't), so this is all you're getting:

Yeahhhhh!!!!!!
Still struggling to catch up. We'll see if I can do it. >_>
Nice!
Also, we now know she has at least 3 collars and 1 ring, as well as an already occupied glasses slot.
