Half-Masked

Almost called this one “Fuck Amuck”, since Phantos’ colours in the 2nd panel reminds me of a similarly titled Daffy Duck cartoon I’m sure we all know and love.

As for black-and-white comics that occasionally show their cast in colour, it’s not a deal-breaker for me, but it is an adjustment that the reader should never be forced to make. Maybe if there were coloured art of the characters on the index page or something, it won’t throw newer readers for a loop.

Or better yet: keep it in black and white, so we can still use our imaginations a little. I have no hate for Wapsi Square or comics of their visual ilk. Just a nitpick or two(which should give you an idea for the overall quality, since I consider myself usually pretty tough on webcomics).

This is why I’ve abstained from going full B&W with Half-Masked. I don’t want people disappointed that the characters aren’t drawn/coloured the way they first imagined they would be.
