I liked it quite a bit - the first one had to do set-up for the premise and characters, while this one got to build on it and dive right into the action. The bulk of the action is with Hannah (redhead), Madison (blonde) + the new girl Kaoru (on the cover) which takes place in the "past" (6 months prior). There's some check-in with the "current" day Bree, Miranda & Irina but the action isn't on the same level as the other group probably due to the difference in number of guys involved. Still liking the jump between the 2 timeframes, as some of the story from the "past" is flowing into the "current". Looking forward to the 3rd one!

Overall I liked it. 4 stars, maybe 5 if you don't nitpick everything like me. haha.

For reference my favorite Fernando comics are Dark Vengeance 3 and Uncut #2

This new one is kinda similar to those two. Although for me, the outfits from the tourist trap series are much less sexy than those used in DV3 and Uncut 2, mostly because I don't like all the footwear.

And I'm not a huge fan of the japanese bukkake theme either. I like how sperm was depicted before, in these new comics, because there is so much sperm, Fernando is using some translucent effects on it, that don't use black ink at the edges and I think the black ink at the edges it's at the core of fernando artstyle, I mean is one of the reasons why I like it so much.

As far as feedback goes:

Well, I noticed one of the female characters, a Swedish girl, changes hair color mid-scene from blonde to red hair, (During the ambulance part). That was probably a production error.

I also noticed one of the dialogue bubbles was not properly drawn. During the same part.

Seems like Fernando was working some overtime to deliver this on this month XD and probably felt pressured to deliver this one as fast as possible, thanks to all of his impatient fans like me, who keep bugging Bego for previews

The plot doesn't move forward all that much, it's pretty much a continuation of the two main scenes from the first comic. The outfits that all the girls are wearing remain the same.

I also thought that Kaoru, the cover girl, would have an even bigger role, but
not quite the main event yet, although, it all points out to be she will be in next comic. She gets a lot of pages dedicated to her tho, but the best parts, are teases IMO.

There are no longer those pesky low light scenarios.
It's all nicely lit this time.

Fernando is still doing those X-Ray parts, not much improvement there.
Personally I don't like them.

The bondage, the gags, and the the overall manhandle it's pretty harsh.
I think this area was vastly improved IMO.

Also the dialogue, builds the atmosphere and further increases the kink factor,
which is already through the roof with Fernando amazing artstyle.

Closing comments, man, Fernando comics are becoming so rare, that I'm surprised people are waiting for reviews when they do come out.

Like, just do yourself a favor and buy the thing already.

P.D. What's coming up next?

I really enjoyed the comic! I love the "cleaner" style of Fernando's recent works and that goes really well with the Japanese theme. There isn't a whole lot of plot in this one - it picks the action right up where the first one left us, and a some hot action it is... The girls are absolutely gorgeous and they are in for a very rough treatment. Love it!

It's decent. I like the newer art style, but miss Fernando's more long-running titles (Cheerleaders, Twins, DV). It's not on their level, story-wise.

Liked it a lot but not loved it. Fernando clearly took on some feedback. The art is simply stellar. The character designs are some of the best. Yes the plot is thin but I don’t read these comics for plot alone, but I hear the issues with the split time frames. Not sure it worked in the first comic but better in this one , especially as the events of what happened 6 months in the past leak into the present day as the new girls get to watch what happened to the Japanese girl, even if we, the readers have not seen it yet....very meta.

Generally I’m happy, but I would mark it a bit down from his classics as I’m nitpicking. Personally I felt there was too much pages dedicated to the girls at the start, and the large gangbang scene, but hey this caters to the masses and I for one appreciate that. Would have loved to have seen more of the girls in the future (again nitpicking), but the scene of the abduction of the Japanese girl satisfied me to the max.

At first the large focus of the first scene did bother me, and I wanted to see more of the others, but then it occurred to me what the whole theme of this series is....Japanese Bukake. In terms of that this comic perfectly emulates that Hentai style, and actually put a more grounded spin on the fantastical Hentai style (Well as grounded as it could be). But even for me perhaps a little too much bodily fluids but I suppose when in Tokyo

Personally I like the X-ray scene...very hentai but we all have our likes. Not the best I’ve seen but he is getting better at it.

Overall I thought it was great.......especially the gag/ungagged ratio, the Japanese girl's abduction, and the brunette's attempted escape (among other things). Fernando was obviously inspired ... looks like working with Geoffrey Merrick has had a positive influence.

On a personal comment, Fernando comics are getting so far and between now, basically anything he puts out is golden. Still the cream of the crop of the Dofantasy stable. That said it is still not quite up there with his classics, Cheerleaders, Twins and Total control. I suppose what I’m saying is Fernando comics are now a special event which scratches an itch. If his output was what it used to be I might be a bit more critical, but as it stands I expect fans lap up whatever he does as the standard is still high. The only recent comic of date where the pacing, plot and bondage all matched each other was SNATCHER 2. Clearly Fernando is passionate about this series and I hope he gets his rock off writing it, he deserves to express himself. I for one will go alone for the ride.

Do yourself a favour if you haven’t already purchased this......do so!

P.S: I hope for SNATCHER 3 next but fully expect TT3.

Great stuff aside from a few editing errors. Visually this has probably been the most interesting comic Fernando has done, at least as far as style goes. That being said I kinda hope he keeps this series short. I wouldn't mind future spinoffs, or maybe references to it in some of his other comics, but I feel like this series would be best served short and sweet. Maybe two more issues, to give both Kaoru and Irina both the climaxes they deserve. I'm personally more excited about Kaoru. I'd be happy if next issue focused almost entirely on her. I mean it'd be nice to see Hannah and Madison getting auctioned off to some sickos, and maybe pop up again in another comic, but I kinda hope they spend most of issue 3 as background props. It's also kinda nice to see Fernando draw another short haired girl. I feel like it's been a while since he's done that. Blonde's aren't personally my type, but its still cool.

Anyway's, that's what I'm hoping for. Not sure about everyone else. I'm sure we can all hope for a relatively quick turn over on the next comic though. Hopefully Fernando's doing well, and not too bogged down with life.

[quote="hansmoleman"]So after giving it a few thorough reads (wink) here is my feedback.

To start, I thought this comic was great. Not excellent but better than good.

THE GOOD:

- Everyone is spot on about the art, I think it is phenomenal and it really elevates the comic past some of its "flaws" - I hope different series like Snatcher (if we ever get one from Merrick and Fernando again...) will benefit from this.
- I really like the cruelty factor, it is nice to see some more harshness in Fernando's latest comic. It shows the utter disregard for the cute captives beyond just the non-consent sex
- Kaoru's kidnap was HOT. One of the better I've seen from Fernando - the girl herself, the art and gag, the process of it all was great. REALLY what get's me for anything Dofantasy related IS the abduction/kidnapping process, transportation of girls, teasing, storage and of course the sexual debauchery that follows. But it's made so much sweeter with a build up and narrative. That is why I love comics storyboarded like Cheerleaders, Snatcher, South of the Border etc.
- I really like Madison character design and was hoping for new bondage gear but she looked great exposed in her bondage belted-frogtie and it was nice to see her clawing at the door trying to get free
- Setting was fabulous as ever
- Gags...amazing!

THE NOT SO GOOD:

- Too much gangbang for me at the start, I loved the positions they had the girls in but I feel like a couple pages and some panels would suffice. I loved the way they suspended the girls and the gags were still great.
- Not enough story development for me at least but I guess it also makes sense this was more of a "action" issue as the previous was a lot of buildup so can't really complain there
- To me I would have preferred more focus on Irina, Madison/Bree and Kaoru for this issue but it seems like the masses love gangbangs


Overally I'm satisfied with the comic, it was a great and solid effort and kudos to Fernando.

Going forward though I would love to see Snatcher 3 ( I think I have mentioned that over a trillion times) but I hope if it ever happens Fernando/Merrick collaborate to make it a more involved/intimate version of The Snatcher. A 60-pager that dedicates slightly more girl character development in the beginning and in the middle - some more back and forward between the Snatcher and his victims (in the rare occasions they are ungagged hehe), some failed escape attempts, seeing the girls in storage in different bondage positions for the night maybe even 1 ungagged speaking to a gagged girl just as an example. It's these little things to me that make comics a little bit more exciting. It provides a lot of context and frame for the situation beyond what is just intended as well./quote]



Cool, that’s a good critique. Pretty much agree with most of your points there. What elevates this comic is the art. It is great to see Fernando’s art taking on new character. He just draws pretty women in bondage so well, and agree want to see more of this style in SNATCHER and cheerleaders.

I have to admit I think it is good but not one of his best, but I found I simply did not crave to read it over and over again like some of his other releases, and I think it stems from a few points you highlighted. I too loved the kidnap scene and the scenes of Miranda and co. I know the masses love gangbangs, and I fully expect so does Fernando, but agree the start lingered a little too much on this, still a great scene, but needed more development of the plot.

What initially got me about Dofantasy comics was not just the BDSM, but the older comics had plenty of abduction, and bondage involving concealment, storage transport. In fact that probably is what makes a comic stellar for me. Hence I can’t get enough of Merrick’s work as he specialises in this. Plus I love it when the narrative is built up with a pay off. This comic has a lack of that and is mainly all action. But that really is nitpicking with porn. Take Cheerleaders 8. Loved how we got to see the dynamics of the squad before they are ultimately kidnapped, restrained, stored and transported. A great example and it always burns me a little we never got to see more of that scene where the squad is mounted and transported. Fernando did mention a while ago that he had a rough draft of that scene more fleshed out where one of the squad becomes a willing accomplice and helps restrain and abuse the girls in the back of the truck. Man I would have loved to have seen that, but maybe Fernando will flesh it out with a Vol 2 of his art collection.

But it seems Fernando is one of the few who still gets the balance right. Personally we all have our kinks and likes, and Dofantasy does its best to cater to all. But I have noticed that many of my favourite artists are releasing less and less. Hence why I started commissioning some of the said artists a few years ago now, to cater to what I want more. A luxury I suppose, but worth it if it helps support some of the artists, and some of the stuff I gotten from artists really is mainly abduction, concealment, storage and transport, and plenty of gags. I know the artists still love to do it so here’s hoping some of the older artists return to dofantasy and do more of this, but I’m still grateful we get regular comics.

Have to agree love the oriental ladies. Great to see a bit of diversity, but Alice the Korean girl is still my favourite.

Fernando and Merrick with SNATCHER 3 again……………hmmmmm let’s see…….fingers crossed.
