Since one of my favorite online pursuits is reading webcomics, it only seems natural that I share the good, the bad and the ugly, as I see it, with you. Just remember, I'm not a critic or a journalist. If you get confused or go cross-eyed after reading my rants, well, them's the breaks.
For this first installment, I'll begin with my unqualified favorite - MegaTokyo. MegaTokyo is a bit hard for me to describe. Part manga, part gamer comic, but stretching the boundaries of both. Alternating between moments of deep reflection and sheer lunacy (sometimes in the same strip), Piro keeps me coming back for more.
The story revolves around two American gamers (Piro and Largo) who somehow find themselves on a flight to Tokyo. After generally enjoying themselves for a day or two, they realize they don't have enough money to get home. Stranded in Tokyo, they take up residence and try to get through day to day, with each being a bit more bizzare than the last.
I'm not hardcore into manga or anime like some people, but I've started to develop an appreciation for it. I am big into videogaming, however. What's neat about MegaTokyo is that it bridges both worlds and fills in the gaps quite nicely.
My admittedly poor description doesn't do any justice to this gem. Check it out - MegaTokyo is l33t, d00d ;-) With updates on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, it's definitely worth a read.
