Kill Harry

Kill Bill + Harry Potter = Kill Harry, featuring cameo appearances by Bender the robot, Bruce Campbell, and Zombie Rick James, bitch.
Entertaining concept, but the execution lacks. It's just a bit too hard to follow what's going on in some of the panels.

Yeah, the action's really tough to follow. I think part of it is that it seems like it's being drawn without attention being paid to the fact that it'll be read onscreen. Like, things might work one way on paper, but not work as well when you can only see some of it because of screen settings.
That's a tough constraint to get used to.

Even with my screen set so I can see all of the panels at once, some action scenes are still impossible to follow.
Overall I'm extremely impressed with the artwork, though. There's some real talent there.

Neat concept, nice artwork, way too hard to follow, but i'm always happy when Bruce and Bender collaborate.
And Zombie Rick James is a hero worthy concept.

I hate fan art. They're always so cutesy-poo.

Page one cool, page two uhuh, page three huhwha, page four wtf, page five omgwtfhuh, page six X.X, page 7...
Neat but I have no idea what the hell is going on. I assumed I just wasn't familiar with the references to anime culture, or that otherwise I was not on the right medication.

I take it back. After the whacked out sequence, pages 9-13 are awfully funny.

I really liked it. As a mashup, it's only part of a cool idea, and the crazy random sht actually helped it come together. Agree that the physical execution is a little confusing, especially to some one who does not read any violent graphic comics/manga/etc. I really am curious to see the exposition of what went down between Harry and Hermione.

I generally don't have much use for anime or the more arcane aspects of Harry Potter fandom, but what the hell: I laughed.

What exactly is the alternative style? Disney? Comic book? I can't see how any of those would have been an improvement.
