It's busy! What is your comic, what should I be looking for when I visit your site? How about saying so here, and maybe posting an art sample?

Well the comics are listed on the right hand side. The 3 different titles are for all 3 of the comic types. The Mammoth Syndicate site itself is more of a hub for all of the comics we create.

Here's a sample for ya.

This is from the Joppa City comic, the most recent entry for it.



This is from Kung Fruit



The Spotlight series changes comic series from time to time as we finish each series. Currently it is Red Colony II, the second chapter for Red Colony.

Definitely helps! I didn't see "Click the below images to be taken to the most recent comics!" previously, did you just add that or did I blink and miss it? Smile

The wording should probably be "Click the images below to be taken to the most recent comics!"

I think all the white space around the news items adds to the confusion a bit--it feels like the page has a lack of structure and cohesion, and information is just kind of swimming around in a big pool.

The bordered & drop-shadowed titles kind of make my eyes hurt.

But woo Comic Sans! Stick it to the Man!

The links to the comics on the right might be a little more appealing if the art in them was as sharp and detailed as the art in the background image--currently they feel very zoomed-in and low-res.

Thank you for the feedback!

The white space is generated as part of the theme that is used for wordpress. We cannot get around it.

I apologize for the lack of structure and cohesion in our site, I was unaware that having news in the middle, comics on the right, and a few extra informational tabs at the top was so overbearing and confusing. I'll make sure to look into that.

The lettering is fine, never heard a complaint about it until now.

Comic sans is fine, never heard a complaint about it.

The links on the right are derived from 2800x2800 images drawn and colored in Flash. If they look low rez to you, you may want to try looking at them from a smaller monitor. Cool
