WEB COMIC REVIEW 25: SPYING WITH LANA


WEB COMIC: SPYING WITH LANA
CREATOR: SEAN HAVINGTON
UPDATES: MONDAY AND THURSDAY
ARCHIVE : UNKNOWN, THEY ARE ORGANIZED IN 8 CASE FILES NOT NUMBERED
GENRE: SEXY SUPER SPY



I'm back with another web comic review and this time I found something I saw before and found the art good and the story interesting but for the life of me I could not remember the name. It's called Spying With Lana. You probably heard of it. If not your in for a ride!



PROS: Foe the guys there are are sexy girl spies with tight to no clothing. For the women, there are women kicking guy ass. Very good visual art in color or even black & white. It doesn't matter! The site is well organized. Scratch that last part, this is mostly guy web comic.

CONS: The creator says this comic is for 13 year old or higher but this comic seems to come close to being at least rated R. Then again T.V. these days crosses this line as well. Not sure why but I had some slow page issues flipping through the archive? It could of been my Internet connection at the time. There is synopsis for this comic. You can't comment on this comic and there is no forum ether.
LAST WORD: This comic was a real nice read. I prefer color comics but this one did entertain me much even being in black in white. At this time as I write this a page I pressed awhile ago in the archive is still loading... Oh there it goes I had to click it a couple of times. I shouldn't have too. This maybe a script heavy page which is puzzling. There is no flash being used in site.


OVERALL SCORE: 8.0

CONCEPT: 8.5
From what I gather,  Spying with Lana is about a super female spy as she works under cover on a porn star set. She is serious and tough. Not original but it doesn't remind me of anything.


ART: 8.5
Sean much like me prefers to draw the ladies. His women look polishes and sexy and his men look buff or some what weird. He Doesn't draw backgrounds much.

COLORING OR SHADING: 8.5
This comic looks great in color and quite nice in black and white. The coloring he uses, gives this comic a more distinct feel.

WRITTING AND SPELLING: 9.5
 I was able to understand what was going on easily. The spelling and grammar check out okay.

WEB PAGE LAYOUT: 8.0
The black background is cool. The comic page does seem to extend longer then you would think. That's a good thing since it's not much else to do at this site. There is no blog, forum, or comment circle to keep coming back constantly. There is fan art and commission art for you to check out. The one annoying thing is some pages in the archive download slow or not at all. This is only at times because now as I write this it seems to be no issue. I like that his site is well organized but you can't find what this comic is about. Also think this comic is little mature.

ENTERTAINMENT: 9.0
The comic was very fun to read. The missions she goes on and the mix ups and humor that happens are real treat. Only the slow page downloads made reading this at times a real pain. New guy reader will LOVE this one. Girls may enjoy this too but I think most girls will be curious why she never seems to keep cloths on.


POST FREQUENCY: 7.0
Twice a week in full color as with the latest updates aren't bad. Sean's updates also are longer then normal comic pages too. It looks like he updates two pages at once almost.


POPULARITY: 5.0
A Page rank of 4 is good. Especially without comments or a forum.
