Noob #8

The eighth volume of the beloved French gaming comedy Noob finds our ragtag guild of wide-eyed, diamond-tagged players huddled nervously behind their gruff, bearded leader as a horde of hulking red creatures closes in from below — "Retour à la case départ" (Back to Square One) promises exactly the kind of chaotic, high-stakes humor fans have come to love. Fournier, Cardona, and Torta pack the cover with expressive, panicked faces that instantly communicate both the peril and the comedy at the heart of this series. A thoroughly fun entry in the Soleil lineup for 2013.
