I had been a long time fan of The Guild, but it took me two years before I bought this graphic novel. A prequel to the web-series of the same name, The Guild focuses on Cyd's life before "The Game" and how she meets up with the gamers who would eventually become The Knights of Good. It's an origin s...

Being this is one of only a handful of graphic novels I have read, I must say this one was pretty cool. There was a lot more dialog with the illustrations, which I liked. Beautifully drawn, the stylized contrast between the "in game" panels and real life scenes really enhanced the story. Although tr...

I really enjoyed getting the back-story of how Cyd became Codex. This "prequel" to "The Guild" was well-written and well-done, mimicking the style of the web series.I'm not particularly a fan of the graphic novel format, but the web series (and subject matter) seems to lend itself well to this part...

So what happens when two basically inept Rebels on the Tantive IV decide to disguise themselves as storm troopers instead of facing certain death? A very silly series of comics. Tag and Bink are everywhere, usually in disguise, and usually doing no good. (It's revealed in the prequel comic that Anak...

Hilarious and nerdy and awesome. We meet a few new characters in this one!Merged review:I love these comics! Some of the drawings are a big wonky, but still a great read and fun fun fun!Merged review:I love it! Very similar to the show. I mean, it's written by F.Day. Also, great visuals. :]

If you're a fan of The Guild web show (and who isn't?) this is really a must read. It's the prequel to the show, explaining how poor Cyd got involved with her guild. The writing is exactly what you'd expect from the show (it is written by Felicia Day, of course), and the art is great. I especially l...

Not at all what I was expecting! In a good way: Much more heart and fewer geek in-jokes.
