Noob #1

The world of online gaming gets the bande dessinée treatment in this opening volume from Fournier and Cardona, subtitled Tu veux entrer dans ma guilde ? — "You want to join my guild?" The cover plunges us right into the action, with a group of big-headed, anime-influenced player characters tumbling chaotically atop a giant computer keyboard and mouse, set against a lush fantasy landscape complete with a stone tower, rolling hills, and colorful game-world figures scattered in the background. It's a playful, energetic introduction to what promises to be a comedic love letter to MMO culture, brought to life with Cardona's bright, cartoonish art.
