So. Many. Extras.
I get you want to add some bonus stuff into these collections to justify someone buying them, even if they already own the individual comics, but aside from the bonus strips, we have a narrative short story (by a different author), a LARP clanbook, and a board game by James Ernest of Cheapass Games fame (OK, that one's actually pretty cool). After a while, I just wish Kovalic would devote more time to the story he's telling about Matt, Kayleigh, and Gilly, and it feels like that story comprises about 20% of the entire book.

I found two or three issues of this series at a local store and loved everything about it. I ordered book one and loved it even more. It is a hilarious recap of what life was like for gamers and goths against society that isn't copacetic with such interests.

I'm not a huge Dork Tower fan, but as a gamer I can certainly recognize and appreciate a lot of the humor in this comic.
