What's New #3 : the Magic Years (What's New with Phil and Dixie)

Rating:
Summary: Better than Sex and D&D!
Review: Foglio has always been a wonderful, and uproariously funny, writter and artist. His works are the best! And "What's New 3" adds even more credit to my claim that he is one of the funniest men alive! As a continuation of the "What's New" comic strips that were origionally run in "The Dragon" - the magazine for the legendary Dungeons&Dragons roleplaying game, our comical narrators, Phil and Dixie, move on to work for the Mammoth sized company Wizards of the Coast. There instead of bringging out the humor of role playing they bring a whole new light to the game that swept the nation - "Magic - the Gathering." I couldn't put the book down, it was too funny! I would often find myself on the ground rolling in laughter as Phoglio briliantly played off the humorous nature off all things fanciful. This is a MUST HAVE for any gamer in the world - whether traditional roleplaying gamer or neostyle card gamer. Sadly, not being a Magic player I missed a few of the references to the Magic game, but you really don't have to play to laugh! I don't think I can express the genius and humorousness of this collection! The art is outstanding as always, and the jokes are unbeatable, buy this book! It is a perfect continuation of The first two What's New collections.
