This is a repost of a short comic I made before the Great Downtime.
After having been criticized as a Toa, Vakama finally enjoys criticizing others as a Turaga.

Hope you like it, enjoy

Poor Vakama. A joke from day 1. And he is one of my favorite characters. But this art is funny and spectacular. I like the ending best!

[Wind Elemental]

I really like the drawing style. Also, the ending is pretty funny. Great job on this!

Moving over to Comics...

[The Renegade Emperor]

Haha, very funny! I love the style, simple yet very accurate. Good job!

[Maphrox: Toa of Polygons]

Actually made me chuckle. I like the art style, that drawing of the Makuta in particular is impressive.

[Felinuva]

I like Vakama but why do some other people hate him? what did he ever do to deserve this?

[Hidron Nuva]

Haha, thank you ^^
I love Vakama too! Set-wise, he's one of my favourite characters. I guess he's just a bit unlucky
All he needs is some more self-confidence.

Hmm... I thought it wasn't to be considered a "proper" comic

Heh, that made me chuckle a fair bit, so kudos to you for that. The comic is also drawn in a very nice, detailed style for such small character images. Happy Vakama in the last panel looks pretty cute, too. Good work.

~B~

Hahaha. Reminds me of those old emo-vakama jokes. I actually laughed at that.

Well done. You're an awesome artist as well. The third panel is my favourite; Vakama's degraded look combined with Matau's prestigious expression make me laugh.

Big ups!

[Meta-Mind]

Heh heh heh... this honestly got a chuckle out of me. I guess it's one of those "Toa of Fire" things - Metru Nui's Fire Toa always has to deal with some insults!

I liked this comic, mainly because it tells the truth. The only thing Vakama was told in the movies (and possibly the stories) was that he sucked. I also have to comment that I have found a nice hand drawn comic, your style is perfect in that is has the right amount of detail. My one complaint is that it's not colored but that's only minor.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

I remember seeing this before the downtime. I really like how well-drawn it is. And though it may not have color, I actually think that that makes this comic even better. I don't know why, but I just can't see it in any other way except the way it is now.

Good job on making it.

[Taka Nuvia]

(told you the comic is awesome =P)

No seriously, it's brilliant. Art style, pacing, expressions - everything is fitting perfectly and it looks fantastic. I am also deeply impressed by how set-accurate it is, and yet definitely your own personal style. (makes my comics look absolutely silly in comparison, if you ask me xD)

And it's an amusing read every time.

Awesome work, and I still think you should draw comics more often

[Hidron Nuva]

Thank you all for the replies! ^^
I came up with the idea after watching Legends of MN. Poor Vakama, like Sybre said, a joke from day 1
(why you say so, Taka, your comics are awesome! We all love them ^^)

...gotta check out those emo-Vakama jokes xD

[~The 1st Shadow~]

Haha This is pretty funny! Nice job on this! Despite the fact that no one ever said that (to his face), I can still see how it applies to him. I really don't mind it not being colored; it looks pretty well-drawn. Speaking of which, nice work on Terry and Tahu. Very well done! You should do more like this.
