This was a great comic. Good art, the sex was cool and it was nice with being a strange couple. The only complaint I have.... Is that it was so short. I wish it was longer.

About Rikki's hair, it's often left to artists' interpretation. Liefeld always portrayed her with brown hair and although the latest artists do show her as a redhead (her Marvel wiki page also says it's red) there's no consensus about that. A while ago I had to make a poll here before settling Felicia's eyes as Blue, because not even Marvel wiki could be specific about it being blue/green, since artists used both on many occasions. About the story, Like I said before on another comment on this page, this was part of the co-writer program and it sometimes can give popular results and sometimes not so much. I hope the new comics that will be revealed in a couple of days are more satisfying in general than the ones from this month. Either way, thanks again for the amazing support.

2016-01-13 18:07:45 +0000 UTCSo having read all your comics, I have to agree with the comments here that this really wasn't your best. So I was really excited for this because Anya is the main protagonist, and she is my favorite comic book character. And not only was Anya the protagonist, but she was going to enjoy two girls! And one of them Rikki! But I ended up feeling that more could have been done here. I really like the way you build up your stories. In your best stories, with only 10-or-so pages you manage to do some great build up, great sex scenes and a great pay-off. Here, everything just moves so fast, I couldn't really enjoy it. The scenes with Scorpia were so random. It was like a small fraction of bigger scenes. I get that it's aggressive, but in other comics you manage to have sexually aggressive characters and moments, and the story still has enough room for some nice scenes. I actually really liked when she left her and moved towards Rikki. There's that nice build up that I love, but at this point there's just a few pages left, so the story ends rather abruptly. It makes me want to see a sequel to this, with only Anya and Rikki, exploring Anya's newfound, er, masculine side. On the other hand, I do like the idea of Anya managing to generate a cock out of her exoskeleton. And I found hilarious the way Rikki manages to calm her urges. And I do like how Anya was the sexually outgoing here, even if she's technically not her, but is something that happens on the actual comics, so thumbs up for that. I normally prefer Anya like the one from the Inheritors story, but seeing her doing the exact opposite -and having her still be in character- is always fun too. On the art department, well, I'm not as familiarized with the artists you collaborate as your more regular fans, but I really liked the art here. I noticed it's from the same artist of The Inheritors, and I actually preferred the art in this one. Having said that, how could you mistake Rikki's hair?! She's redhead, but here she's black/dark brunette! She's Anya's very special redhead, like MJ is to Peter, so no redhair was a serious mistake! But I really liked that last panels with Anya and Rikki hugging, they looked so cute, it put a smile on my face. That panel alone made me want to see the aforementioned sequel.

2016-01-10 23:02:36 +0000 UTCI definitely wouldn't say "boring" but yeah, to make a somewhat coherent story we chose our sexual performances accordingly and left some positions out of the scheme. Could have done it differently, but would need a very different story, which wasn't the case. I'm glad you still found it overall good, though.

2016-01-06 13:32:29 +0000 UTCSometimes the Co-Writer program makes me step out of my safe-zone and try different things. It makes me work with themes and content that would hardly be conceived by me alone. Most of those times, it's a leap of faith, trying to kneet a story with some weight (even though it's "just porn") without knowing what will work and what won't. By the end of it, I noticed I could have taken a few different turns here and there, but I do like the overall result and still think the story is entertaining and sexy (despite being quite excessive on the premise). Either way, I thank you for your kind sincerety. Hopefully, I did hit some other's personal tastes right, though. =)

2016-01-06 13:29:14 +0000 UTCI wasn't prepared for what this comic was going to be. Yes, in retrospect, I just wasn't paying close enough attention. It wasn't obvious, like with the two comics involving Carnage, or the ones where Felicia is gangbanged by villians, or the combination of Gwen and the Symbiote. But it also wasn't like the unexpectedly jarring beginning of Scarlet Spiders, which I didn't see coming at all. The promotions had violence. And the introduction had the word 'act of vengeance' right in the darn thing. I have no one to blame but myself. But at the same time, I was blinded by the novelty of the idea. Our first FFF comic. Using a Spider character I was far less familiar with. I wanted to see what Tracy was going to do with this. Yes, partly I also just didn't want to decrease my donation, because I really want TS to keep making smut, but... Let's face it, the promotions and the fact that Cheese-Ter was the artist should have clued me in. Cheese-Ter is almost always tagged for the edgier stuff, and for a very good reason: his art matches the darker tones of the stories that go with said art. The one time that didn't happen was for Spidercest #10, but even there, I still think he did a good job with the very different tonal shift. Part of that is because let's face it, Jessica is very edgy in comparison to the others (Scarlet Spiders and Inheritors are not the only comics that highlight this). But even in SP #10, he was still able to pull off some cuteness and tenderness that is inherent in those comics, as well as spice up the overall narrative. Hmm, I sorta got off topic, didn't I. Well, it's because let's face it: I was not the target market for this comic. Not my thing. But it goes beyond that. First of all, it tackles something that hadn't been before: a hero being reprehensible. (Kaine doesn't count, he was just a douche,and that's kinda his thing) Scorpia may be a villian, may have even been trying to kill Anya. But I'm not sure any of that forgives the rape of a supervillian by a hero, even if she was under the influence of something else. And it certainly doesn't feel good at how easily Anya and Nomad just seem to sweep it under the carpet at the end. Yes, I know: porn. Tracyverse. But for some reason this also hits a different chord. I don't expect decent behavior from Spider-Villians or Inheritors. Getting mad at Shriek for screwing a man and then killing him is like being mad a blender for blending. Even Venomess is okay with me, because I don't expect a reborn Gwen-Symbiote to act like Gwen. But this just felt wrong to me, to a degree that hasn't with other previous edgy T-verse comics.

2016-01-06 04:19:43 +0000 UTCI actually like how it's done, especially with what Anya is doing with Scorpia, but then it just felt slightly boring on some parts, and I was kinda hoping more could be done with Rikki Barnes as it felt it offered little. Personally I think Anya could have done them both. Especially how the armour itself is formed. Still good though. Maybe one more page might have helped
