dude this is sick. great artwork. did you do the flash yourself or how did you get it to flip like a book like that? I'm doing a webcomic myself and I'm trying to learn flash for page turning haha

THANKS! much appreciated! i'm glad you enjoyed the art. there's actually a template you can download with all the page turning specific stuff. i'm flash handicapped so i couldn't tell you more than that.
(i don't even know the link.... i just got lucky and have an awesome friend that helped me.)
good luck on your webcomic!

"'Insane' gets you laid" while shooting at that phallic thing... comedy gold.
The story and the art are awesome... and I really love your panelling and the pace. This, sir, kicks ass

All right this is almost midnight here and I'm kind of tired so I focused, as a first reading, on your drawing and your composition.
And this was quite good actually 
As I told you before, I do like the way you're using the gray tone, and thus, I sometimes thought that the regular thin line were too much. Seeing it on the faces, on the clothes, on the robot in the end, you should choose. I think doing on the faces was interesting, and on the robot too (since his part are "smooth"), but less on the clothes.
I think that by doing less you will put more emphasize to your gray tone (and thus make a better "alchemy" between your drawing the gray tone).
But I haven't read the other critic so maybe this is just me
As for the story, well, I'll reread the 3 issue straight soon
Anyway bravo man!

Totally missed its release. But I gave it a good read. First of all, I am seriously impressed by how much tighter you have gotten over not only the past three issues, but all the other ones I remember from the initial series. You got a good sense of timing and really digging the angles you are exploring. I am also glad that the native chick is finally making an appearance. I have been a patient man, she is still one of my fav characters you got there. I know its gonna be epic. Dude, looking forward to see what else you got in store.

Hey man...I like these here cartoons. It's like a book, but with pictures. I like the blood and the bog metal thing. When I learn how to read, Imma get me this back and Imma read it to ma 12 kids. Long live NASCAR and beer....and long live these here magic pictures.

I enjoy it.
Those are well developed characters. I instantly "connected" with them.
Love the hospital scene and how the Dr. handled the situation.
The last battle was done masterfully. I always enjoy stories when the readers know what is happening even the when the main characters don't.
The artwork was great and it really complemented the story.
Nice Work

thank you! very much! i'm so glad you were able to connect... its such a difficult thing to do, making relatable characters.
thank you and thanks again.

mecha reign action packed goodness, with a lil Rudolf and Espada for good measure! 
I wonder if in the future we can see the pages a lil bigger. I'm guessing this is like manga size, but you have so much nice details- I wish I could see it even clearer.
Fantastic job friend, please keep it rolling! So much hard work went into this, I've got so much respect for you!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
if you want i could post up some bigger images, for the sake of the details, any requests? (i was also preparing a step by step of a page that i was gonna be posting later in the week.)
thanks so much eric, it means ALOT.

aw- you don't have to go through that trouble just for me. I was just wondering if it's possible to see these flash flipbook things in a larger size in general too. That'd be cool!
no problemo man, I mean it!

i'll think about doing that at somepoint, for sure! if i do, i'll let you know when, yeah?

Wow Daniel, this is great! I can't wait for issue 4 TWO YEARS FROM NOW.
btw, the best line here was most definitely- "Try to get some air off of that rubble."
Whoever came up with it must be as brilliant as he is handsome.

I've been a fan of MECHA REIGN for years now. Heh, to think that I've known you that long (over 5 years now). I'm glad I brought the hammer down on you that day you were feeling down with your work, back then MR was all done in a random notebook. You know, it's funny sometimes I think of what it'd be like if I never pushed you to relaunch MR. Because when I'm flipping through my issues of Hellboy, Shaman King volumes, Sean Murphy pages, X-Men Trades, and FMA books for references and inspiration I'm also flipping through the latest MECHA REIGN. A genius sequential artist, master story weaver, brilliant character writer, good friend and rival! This is the Daniel Irizarri I know.
-with love man, theCEO (JR)

whoa man, those are some mighty big words coming from the CEO. but all very appreciated. and seriously, i remember having that conversation where you were suggesting to restart the series when i was about to work on chapter 12. seriously man. changed the course of my LIFE. 0_0
also, if i die next week, you're writing the eulogy or what goes on the tombstone. for sure. haha!
much appreciated, sir. much appreciated.

This is pretty impressive, Daniel! Have to appreciate the work behind this. There's a lot of positive aspects to this. The art is very good. Although I generally prefer B/W art, the grey tones really works in this. The outline of the panels are super. Great variation in terms of movement and storytelling. I also like the writing. The dialogue doesn't feel forced and you never cross into the dreaded land of Corny (a land over-populated by amateurs and professionals alike). You've got some really good lines in there. And I loved the cliffhanger ending! Very intriguing.
The only thing that puzzled me when reading this was the thought caps. I didn't understand why it was written in the past tense. Then I took a look at the first chapter, saw that he was being interviewed and understood that all of this is retrospective. An idea would be to include more of this interview, maybe in just a few panels or a page in between the main narrative, just to remind the reader that this story is retrospective. This would also allow the narrative to "breathe" and for the character to display emotions that weren't felt in the middle of all the action. Just an idea.
All in all, I really liked this, man! You should be proud of this. And you should definately do more of them! I'll be reading the first two chapters tomorrow. Would have done it now but I'm dead tired (2am here). Looking forward to that and to future chapters

thank you SO much for the thorough review of it all, it means alot! and yes... the thought caps. i don't show any bit of the interview in the second chapter, but atleast i was able to get a question from the interviewer talking to Joseph so it was implied that he was getting interviewed.... -__-
wow, i appreciate the comment on the writing, though in no way do i consider myself a writer (writers have a way with words i lack) its atleast good to know i can hold my own when it comes to my own turf (my comics) though its probably thanks to my editor most likely. she'll tell me what sucks and what doesn't in the writing and thus protect me from the dreaded shitty lines.
again, thanks man.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No problem dude. I just finished reading the first two chapters. Really good stuff! You can definately see a lot of improvement from one issue to the next. So this thing is only going to get better.
You should definately finish this, Daniel. If you're gunning for a career in comics, this is a really good start!

"And I really, REALLY appreciate that you don't have those bold accents of every other fucking word in the script."
Seconded!

thanks, thanks man. i'm glad i'm doing somethings right. i hope i can keep going with this for a while, and i appreciate the kind words ALOT. and yeah, having an editor saved my life.
we'll see when i can manage to ge the next one out!

I really enjoyed this installment! It came together quite well. Now here's the part were I share my inner thoughts on the scene that stuck out the most: the patient scene. Personally I just couldn't feel a sense of urgency, but maybe that was just what the head doctor character was trying to portray since he seemed to be the only one who didn't have hope for the wounded solider. After he dies however the script writing is very believable; that one spark of faith in a dark cloud of reality. Very bitter sweet.
It's a short scene, but hopefully we'll be able to see more like them in later issues.

thank you very much on the feedback! its great to know whatyou thought, since i'm definitely not a writer by trade, i can just kind of... script my own characters heh, but yeah! i was trying to convey the contrast of a younger new slightly more hopeful medic with the personality of a wise but jaded doctor like Espada is.
thanks so much, again!

MUCHA-REIGN!! (I can never NOT read that whenever I see MR now...)
Dude, way cool to see all of these pages finally come to life... So much riff-raffing and all of that crazy stuff. Still remember those sketches from a week or two ago.
Anyway, reading this felt like watching an episode of..... something. Shit, son. Could hear 'em talking in my head, especially Alexander and Littlebot (lol). Ever do a Flash, and I'm frickin' VA'ing them. I swear.
Good work on portraying characters' emotions, usage of panels, and all 'em crazy-ass angles you used all over the place. All in all, you really kicked it up a few notches with this one. Here's hoping Chapter 4 doesn't take a year. Awesomely done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks man, thanks. and if you do VA, you'll probably do that creepy panting old guy voice you do. creeps the hell out of me. oh the riff-raffs. i kept all of them just for the memories.
