Dungeon Quest

review 1: Frustrated with homework, Megamind-lookalike Millenium Boy sets out on a quest with his pals. Along the way he kills some muggers, takes a book from a poet/drunk, fights off molepeople and skeleton pirates, finds a healing pool constructed by Jesus, and builds up his magic abilities along the way. The book riffs on the standard hero/quest game books that have been around for decades. Millenium Boy and his group of adventurers abilities slowly develop as their quest continues like characters do in other role playing games. The storyline is very playful though and it felt a bit like a James Kochalka/Beavis and Butthead cartoon. It's a fun read but I didn't feel it was as good as his previous book "Red Monkey Double Happiness" which I felt was written with more flair. "Dungeo... moren Quest" retains Daly's wackiness and drawing ability but the story feels a bit directionless and arbitrary at times. Not a bad comic book by any means just a bit meandering, but it's a fun read.
review 2: I think I might have liked this a little more if I played MMORPGs. And had a sense of humor about it. This comic is an adventure story told in the style of an online role playing game. Clever concept, just not my thing. Apparently the world this author has envisioned is very phallus-centric. There are lots of penises and naked men and references to homophobia and homosexuality. This is most likely a joke that would be much funnier if I played online games. less
