I just found a new comic that makes fun of real stuff using super villains; dark, funny, wicked cool!

From your introduction:"You shall see plenty of social satire, shameless marketing tactics..."
Didn't see any of the first, but I saw lots of the second. Then again, for me, Flash animation = auto fail. It's not really a comic. It's just... low-level flash animations.
I'd recommend you scrap the Flash stuff, since it doesn't add anything to the site. It's more of a hindrance than 'cool'. Make standard comics on standard web pages. Concentrate less on the 'cool stuff' and more on creatnig... an insightful level of social criticism, maybe? The art was okay, and would work for better content.
That's my 2 cents. Good luck.

I don't think it's his. He said he found it. Anyway, they were alright, nothing hilarious but clever. Although I must agree with Desslock, the flash animation is annoying.

I think it's his, and I think he just created an account on AN just to advertise his site with this thread. I don't even expect we'll hear back from him, but on the off chance he bothers to check for feedback, I thought I'd toss mine in the ring.

I don't think it's more obvious than clever (and while obvious can be clever, it seems to lack a certain tongue in cheek wittiness that is makes a good satire). It seems to lack a certain... je ne sais quois.
And I don't think the art's all that hot.
And I've no doubt that NightScourge is plugging his own wares.

The Perry Bible Fellowship (http://pbfcomics.com/) comic site is very obvious, but very, very clever. Give it a read.

The Perry Bible Fellowship tries to be a 3-panel The Far Side, and fails. Not that it's altogether bad; it has some good moments.
