Rating: Summary: Excellent comics, Don't be fooled by Amazon's By-line Review: Ctrl Alt Del is a wonderful comic, I should know, I've been reading since the beginning and I know Tim Buckley, I worked with him, I reviewed games and movies for the site. However the peculiar thing about this page is that Jim Starlin, credited as the author of this book, is NOT the author of this book, the author is Tim Buckley, who goes by Absath online. And, as far as I know, he does not offer the book through Amazon. My advice to potential buyers is to visit www.cad-comic.com and watch the newsposts until Absath says otherwise. If anyone has ordered this through Amazon and recieved a copy, please let me know at andre.galan@gmail.com .
(Edit) On further investigation, I have discovered some things. The publisher is Starline Media, this may have something to do with the Jim Starlin error. Jim Starlin, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with Starline Media, which has more to do with Real Life Comics than anything else. A simple google search will reveal that Ctrl Alt Del has had dealings with Starline Media before, if only being seated at their convention table. A search at the Starline Media site for Jim Starlin yields no results. Furthermore, the Ctrl Alt Del official store, Gamer Warez, has no mention of the book as of 10/20/04. Buyer Beware. I'll update/remove this review as I deem necessary.
Rating: Summary: Will wonders never cease?! Review: I love this book. Watching it be made and put together via updates by Tim on his website (http://www.cad-comic.com) was amazing! The book has the first 150 comics from the archive. Now, I know you're thinking, why not just read the archives for free? Well, you could do that, but the extra content is absolutely worth it. Tim put commentary on every page, not just from him, but from the characters (Ethan, Lucas, Chef Brian, Lilah, Ted, Scott, etc...). He also included an original story that is endlessly amusing and fun. The comic itself is a gaming comic, but it also is just plain funny. I'm not a hardcore gamer and I find it amusing.
I highly recommend this book to any CAD fan or anyone who just wants to get into webcomics.
