#comax

I did a bunch of comics following a similar format to the famous cpau comics a while ago but i decided I'd save them up for christmas. So. Yeah.

Every day leading up to december 25th I'll post a new comic, and this will be the masterpost!

Edit: Virgil has joined the comic sharing and he'll also upload some of their KCPAU comics from time to time!

AUs and links to them (literally all of these are done by Virgil lmao):

-Collateral Maximum (or CoMax for short (basically a swap AU))

-The overlooking monarch (Mastermind Murasaki AU)

-Limbus/Project Moon AUs (Uzomi's branch. Bee's branch)

I figured I can't afford to ship print version of Orumado from Japan, and I was looking to buy the e-books to finish reading this masterpiece. But I noticed something: Orumado had two different versions by two different publishers, Fairbell and CoMax. Fairbell is the Ikeda publisher, but I had never heard of CoMax. Their edition is cheaper than Fairbell's, and has colored pages, which I kind of like. When I was comparing the two editions, I noticed that Fairbell's books had the usual "e-book blurriness", while CoMax' looked sharper. This is important, because especially while reading manga on a phone, crisp characters are much easier on the eyes. So, I was adding the "semi-color" CoMax version to my cart when I saw this (left is CoMax, right is Fairbell):

They leveled the image so hard that they were sacrificing the art quality! You can really tell by the flowers and Julius's hair. Some more comparisons I made with the sample pages:

I like blacker, sharper images too, but gray tones are part of the art... So my brain tells me to get CoMax for ease of reading, and Fairbell for art appreciation, while my fangirl heart keeps reading what low quality raws I could find online... I hate this struggle, and wanted to get it out of my chest.

oh my god i forgot to post these Collateral Maximum doodles my bad dfgsdjs. anyways they're so silly and they're plaguing my brain
