| Chronicles the on- and offline lives of a group of Internet role-playing gamers, the Knights of Good. |
|
From the Publisher:
Cyd Sherman, on the brink of a quarter-life crisis, joins an online role-playing game, where she discovers her identity and befriends a group of players called the Knights of Good. |
Annotation:
Online fantasy gaming begets a hilariously nerdy web video series, which begets a charming and engrossing graphic novel. So it goes these days as media intermingle in a process of constant reinvention. This time Felicia Day's online mini-series of video shorts, THE GUILD, gets a prequel graphic novel drawn by Jim Rugg. In the illustrated format, the creators can devote more energy to what goes on inside the actual fantasy video game than they can on the low-budget video sitcom. The graphic novel also provides some delightful backstory on how the motley Knights of Good came together.

Praise
"No mere illustration could compare to Day's endearingly vulnerable and befuddled live-action performances, but the comic format allows Day and Rugg to depict what the videos can't...."
