Recognition Day - First Designs

I thought that a lot of my designs had quite a serious tone of voice to them so I decided to create something that was a little more lighthearted, but still communicated the same message, this was the result:The problem with this design that its a bit too messy and hard to follow which is a pity as it was one of my favourite ideas. I only used imagery that was found scattered in comic books and put them into a story. I think if the design worked and it was possible to follow the story like you should, with the images speaking for themselves it would be quite strong, however it doesn't really achieve this.
