Blood Covenant: Revelation - "4 vampires known as the Hunters seek revenge on Viktor, the one who killed their king. Viktor will not go down without a fight. Now the Hunters must face his army with an army of their own."
When I first saw this I thought "oh for fuck sake! Not another vampire story!" I mean, Vampires are the new Zombies right? But this story wasn't that bad.
The art was fantastic, especially the pencils. The colors could use a little work, mostly the shading. There are plenty of splash pages which can come in handy when your story's strong suit is the art.
The characters are ok. I loved the simple look of the Nosferatu but the main team wearing sleek black suits are so cliche it's distracting, but you can't really expect anything more from a story that's cliche from the title to the predictable twist at the end.
Overall I think it delivers enough with the art to overcome all the cliches but not enough to keep me interested in future installments. Oh, and the dialogue is aweful.

Blood Covenant: Revelation - A Zuda Webcomic
New Zuda Competition - Baby Monsters
Baby Monsters - "Shaun and Jeremiah are the first patients to successfully undergo the superhuman creation process known as anthemia. Baby Monsters follow them as their powers grow with the challenges they face."
If you don't read the synopsis before you read the comic... you may have a hard time figuring out what's going on here. That wouldn't be a problem if the synopsis weren't so general.
Judging from the technology used, the story is set in a futuristic world. I thought that was one of the more interesting aspects of the story that left me a little curious. What kind of cities do they live in? What kind of society do they come from?
The problem with this story is that it changes scenes erratically and abruptly. The transitions are choppy and leave you confused. Was he talking to this guy? Now who is this?
Overall I'd have to say it's a decent concept with poor execution and too many questions left over.
