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.

D&d is still cool, geek chic will pass, but we will still be cool - as will gem D20's, new game supplements I just have to have, goth girls, any jokes you can only understand if you love Tolkien about fantasy. It's just the way I roll......

Breaking the sequence of the first three, this collects the Dork Tower strips from various publications, such as Scrye. Surprisingly, I found some of them funnier than the longer-form stories from the previous volumes... (B)

Still an amusing, entertaining read for geeks of all stripes.
