Felicia Day is having a lot of fun with this comic, and it shows.  She’s also a damned good writer.  This story of a girl who looks for solacei n a WoWesque game is spot on.  I’ve totally lived with this girl, only instead of a girl it was a very effeminate straight guy.  Apart from the genetalia and the hair color, though, this could have been a story about him.  Down to the narcissistic s.o. in a band.

There’s a lot of funny packed in here, even for people like me who have never invested their time in a MMORPG, for fear of never being able to leave the house again.  There’s also a hilarious visual Buffy joke, made all the funnier by its placement next to Dark Horse ad featuring Buffy.

Rugg’s multiple styles in this issue show he’s not only good at what he does, but also versatile.  This may end up being my pick of the week, which is something I didn’t expect when I picked it off the shelves.

Story: 5 - Excellent
