DITR #1 – Battlegate

Diamond In The Rough #1 – Battlegate
By: Chris and Leila Moujaes
Latest: http://battlegate.com
First Comic: http://tinyurl.com/battlegatestart
Battlegate is an anime that takes place in a medieval fantasy setting with supernatural twists. The story follows the Lt. Marcko Paolo who’s forced to “babysit” a troubled teenager named Hugo. During their adventures, Marcko begins to discover the true nature of Hugo’s dark past and learns the world around him is a lot more corrupt then he thought.
The Good:
Battlegate is beautifully drawn and the panels are very well directed. There is significant improvement in the art over the course of the story. The coloring is also enough to make me jealous. The story is solid and keeps you interested from start to finish, something lacking in most webcomics.
The Bad:
There is only two things that come to mind but nothing that couldn’t easily be fixed. The first is a black and white stint in chapter four that kind of throws you off while reading because you are use to the rich coloring at this point. The second is no navigation arrows below the comic page, so you have to scroll back up to keep reading. Like I said, nothing too bad at all.
Rating: 8.5/10

Hey there -
I’m Chris, creator of “Battlegate.” I happened to stumble on your review and just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for the cool review of the comic.
I’m glad to hear that you enjoy the work I’m doing and thanks for the cool words about my work.
I just wanted to say that I agree with you on the black and white stint that you mention in the “The Bad” portion of your review. I had tried it out to see if it would help with my update speed, but it seemed to take some of the magic away (and didn’t help updates too much either
So, I’m going back and re-coloring the pages and reworking some of the art on those.
Anyways, thanks again for the review and for being a fan
Chris
