So far it's pretty good.  I like how it's an homage to series like kamen rider and the skull man and it does an okay job of that.  However I do have some complaints.  One is that in 16 pages we've established 14 characters (technically 16 if you count the masks and their monster forms as different) and that can be a bad thing.  Too many characters right off the bat can overwhelm the reader and cause them to lose interest.  My main example for this is Corrine, after we've established our main villain and show development on one of the main plot point and possibly introduced to a new one we are instantly shown a new character who's entire backstory and relation to the main character feels like it was shoved into three panels and an editors box.  On top of that we're then immediately shown a new faction, plot point and two other characters.  There's also the scene where we're introduced to the villain!  Now it's not a bad scene it's just kind of awkward to me.  There's also something that irks me personally but not really a major issue, and that's the swearing.  Now I'm not saying you should remove it entirely because I know that there is some swearing in the franchises you based this off of.  But it's used very sparingly and it's almost never anything like fuck.  I'm not saying it's bad but it just rubs me the wrong way.  With all those complaints I am aware that this is in it's early stages and that it can always improve.  I'm actually really looking forward to how this goes in the future.  Keep it up!
