Looking For Group

review 1: I'm not really into comics because, in my opinion, they require some time to be appreciated - you can't just rush through them like you do with a plain-text book. And it's not so easy to have that much time to spare these days. But this is really worth it.It starts off as a RPG/gamer parody with very neat and pretty to look at graphics and soon you realise there is SO much more. Every single thing that happens seems to be either a reference or something they will get back to in 200 pages. Everything has a reason, and that's what I like the most about it. There's comedy, romance, gore, epic battles, epic sadness, epic lines... And I can safely say all of it is better done than in most books we read nowadays. Plus, so many details! Like the background or, again, the referenc... morees...!The only bad point is that it is very specific. If you're not a gamer or know little of nerd/pop culture (like books and TV shows), it certainly won't be any good for you.
review 2: You know a book/comic/web parody series will be great when it opens with a prancing, singing lady(male?) elf being taunted by a psychopathic Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the Thirteen Hells, Master of the Bones, Emperor of the Black, Lord of the Undead, and the mayor of a little village up the coast, Richard (or Dick for short). Not to mention cute bunnies.The animation is enough to make me spend all day staring at a single panel as well. less
