[Vanessa Wolf · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hilarious collection of a comic strip that ran in D&D magazine(and Dragon Magazine I think). Nodwick is a henchman in a fantasy universe, he joins the party of Artax (magician), Yeagar (fighter), and Piffany (cleric). The humor has held up well over the years and I find it just as funny now as when I discovered it as a webcomic.
I recommend it to fans of 8-bit Theater, D&D fans, fantasy fans.

A collection of the original Nodwick comics from Dragon Magazine (and a few from Dungeon). A fair amount of the humor would be lost on people not familiar with D&D lore (especially the parodies of classic adventure modules), but this D&D fan certainly enjoyed himself! (B+)

These aren't quite as much fun as the actual comics are, but these early strips still have the wit and whimsy that. Makes Nodwick so great.
