Clara is my favorite character from The Guild. She's a married gamer with little kids who has a serious addiction to her RPG and spends little if any time taking care of her family. Somehow or perhaps in spite of this, she comes across so funny and Clara'ish, that I can't help wanting to see more of her.Just like the comics for Vork and Codex, the story dives into Clara's everyday life. In particular her husband, Mr. Wiggly's impatience and growing frustration with her inability to keep a deadli...
Set before the first season of The Guild, Knights of Good gives real-world background information on all of the main characters. (Except Cyd, whose background had been detailed in the previous collection, The Guild.) The quality here is a bit more variable. Compare Clara's story, which gives no new information or insight about the character and could be set at virtually any time, to Zaboo's, which is a direct tie-in to the first episode of The Guild and gives some insight into Zaboo's thought pr...
Loved it! Wish there were loads more! So fun and it makes me want to watch the series again!Read during Dewey's 24-Hour Readathon - July.
If you like "The Guild", you'll like this book. If you haven't watched "The Guild," you may still like this book. And you should watch "The Guild."
I became a massive fan of Felicia Day's YouTube sensation serial The Guild through lucky chance, and I've always thought that six seasons weren't enough to tell more of the shenanigans and misadventures of the Knights of Good both in RPG and RL. So I was so pleased that a comic book spin-off was published and I was not disappointed with what I got.The story was a prelude to the actual show where Felicia Day's astonishingly socially awkward redhead heroine Cyd Sherman was an aspiring violinist wh...
The Guild was a delightful series comprised of short episodes that appeared on the internet for six seasons. It featured a young woman and her on-line gaming companions and their occasionally dysfunctional adventures both in reality and as members of their gaming group, the Guild. It was brilliantly written and I recommend it highly. Dark Horse published a series of comics written by Felicia Day (the creator, star, and writer of the show), which featured the Guild members before the show started...
Perfect for fans of the web series!!
loved the second installment of the guild comic, we got to learn a little bit more back story for vork, tink, bladezz, zaboo and clara and some game play too which made me smile- didn't want the comic too end - just like the web series!
Good but not as good as the first volumeIt was an enjoyable read. As the main focus of The Guild is Codex, I was surprised there wasn’t much of her included In this volume.The Vork and Clara stories were the best of what was included. Getting their back stories, I think helped to connect with the characters better. It also allowed you to see that their real lives were so different that maybe the game offered them something they couldn’t have had otherwise. The scene with Vork seeing his Grandfat...
I absolutely love the Guild I wish they made the show again
The Chicago Public Library recently entered a partnership with online content provider Hoopla, which among other things means I suddenly have access to thousands of old comic books I've never read before, including most of the back catalog of Top Shelf, Dark Horse and Boom! Studios. This was the first thing I decided to read through Hoopla, because I'm already a big fan not only of the web series this was based off of, but also Day's memoir You're Never Weird On The Internet (Almost). This prequ...
Fun, but not as fun as the other Guild comics I've read. Codex is my fave, and she was AWOL for a bunch of this. It's basically one shots for everyone but her, and some of them are better than others. Seriously, though: fun. I should really rewatch The Guild at some point. It's on Netflix, right?
A very cute little addition to The Guild story line but not quite as good as the first graphic novel. Each segment gives a little glimpse into the lives of a different character's life outside the game. Zaboo's story was my favourite for having the stalker mini-game though Tink's succession of lies was pretty wonderful, too. Vork's story was the least entertaining, in my opinion. His grandfather was great but the story didn't click with me the way the others did. Clara's story was given a little...
The first chapter/issue with Vork's backstory and the story behind Bladezz's infamous sausage photo were engaging but the rest was so-so. I felt like all of the other characters were basically re-hashing what happens on the show rather than giving the reader any huge surprises. On the plus side, there are some more panels showing the characters in-game, which is more than we were ever given on screen.If you're going to read any of the Guild comic books, I recommend reading The Guild (the first o...
Background: The Guild Volume 2 showcases the lives of the Knights of Good before season 1 of the show. It includes the one-shots of Vork, Tink, Bladezz, Clara, and Zaboo as we are lead up to the Season one start with Zaboo meeting Codex. We learn about their family members, home lives, and how/why some of them play the game.Review: Loved, Loved, Loved this. I was super excited to get a chance to read Volume two as a collection of the one-shots. I love The Guild and have watched all the episodes,...
Originally posted on my blog here.Felicia Day is my new favorite person. Seriously guys, her stuff is awesome. But more on that later.This compilation is of a couple of The Guild books and was pretty good. I had already gotten hooked on the online video series, however, so when I was reading it in my head it was in the actual voice of the characters and I think that it helped tremendously in making it come to life more. You just have to love how cooky each of their characters is, it's great!Had
4.5/5 stars!Guild fans! You can't miss this volume of backstories of our heroes that before now, was only alluded to in episodes of the series or not revealed at all. While it doesn't further the current season storylines as we know them, it does give us important (and fun!) information on Tink, Bladezz, Vork, Clara, and Zaboo - all leading up to the pilot episode in season 1. Any sci-fi/fantasy fan can tell you one thing when you're building your characters within your world/story: backstory is...
Ugh. That was horrible. Though inconsistently horrible. Some of it was much worse - Clara in particular. No wait I think Zaboo was worse. Not going to read the sequel. And not funny.
