I forgot that LFG existed, but Richard the murderous warlock is still amazing.

This is a collection from the online webcomic found here. http://www.lfg.co/page/1/

Nerdery....

I don't think I'm enough of a gamer to full appreciate this book. The art is pretty to look at though. I'm sure the humor and jokes are a lot more obvious to people who spend a lot of time in the WoW and D&D universes.

Looking for Group was recommended to me by a friend who has a lot of similar interests to me. I didn't expect to like it, but I sat and read most of this without breaks. As someone who has played a lot of WoW, the setting is familiar. Sohmer and Desouza manage to capture questing in an RPG game and how those games story and lore develops. The art is fun, the characters are fun, the story is fun, it's just a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. There are parts to the story that are decidedly not fun, but they are good.

To be honest, I'm reading the webcomic version/edition, but reading this many pages counts as a book for me. Plus, I wanted to review it. Next week, I will read volume 2.

If you understand the title or play RPGs, you may like this graphic novel and webcomic. I'm not sure that you would like this as much of you don't "get" the title or don't play RPGs. This isn't the book to start reading graphic novels so I wouldn't recommend for first time graphic novel readers either. I is a good first webcomic if you want to give those a try.
