No Gods. No Dungeon Masters.

by Ion O'Clast, Rachel Dukes (Illustrations), Andy Warner (With)

An analysis of multi-classing between anarchist and nerd identities, No Gods. No Dungeon Masters. provides an adventurous peek into the world of one -un-elected bastard ambassador- for two cultures that rarely overlap. The full-color comic gorgeously reflects how radical leftist values and geek predilections can inform one another, the weird things it makes you do, and the struggle to feel comfortable in either community. Io and Rachel Dukes deliver a funny and thought-provoking comic sure to be a (critical) hit (get it?) with anarchists and Dungeons & Dragons fans alike.

"It's pretty obvious radicals make prime turbo-nerds" HEY THIS WAS GOOD

This is a short but delightful comic that interrogates the weird distance between nerd spaces and radical political spaces. The art is really amazing, and the whole thing works together to create a really beautiful communicative landscape. I really love one panel, where there's a split speech bubble between a (cut off) long-winded explanation of squat culture, and the person's need to rush out and take action has them yelling "Because Fuck the State, That's Why!". It's very sweet, and I'd love to see more comics in this vein.

+5 damage against lawful evil FTW.
