I really enjoyed your comic and how you used propp’s narrative characters to try and achieve what most people were trying to achieve. I felt that it was a typical love triangle but I like the way at the end the hero ends up with the villain instead of the princess. I think that the use of a female villain is eye catching and how the poison is coke just made me laugh because I can never think of coke in that manner. Your comic is very straight forward and you immediately know what is going on even without reading the speech bubbles. The pictures are clear even though the speech bubbles are cut off but all in all, your comic was great and the story line was easily understood.

The whole comic is interesting especially the concept of the love portion indicating that people would do anything to get what they want. The hero, villain and the princesses are present in your story. Its kind of different especially at the beginning I thought the guy with the girl sitting at the table was going to be the hero but it turns out that he is the princess. Another thing that confused me how can a villain be in love with the hero? According to Propp the villain is supposed to be punished for his/her actions how it is that Megan ends up living happily ever after not the princess and his girlfriend, for me that is confusing but all in all the storyline was great

Your comic is really good and eye catching. The way you took the photos is excellent because they tell the story on their own, it isn't even necessary to read the speech bubbles. The story line is very clever as well in the way that it has such a twist at the end with the hero actually being the villain. I also think that the comic could relate to a few people that I know so it is actually humorous to read it. Well done guys, it's just a pity about the speech bubbles being cut off but otherwise it is straight to the point and has a good story line.
