Book Reviews of Penny Arcade Volume 3: The Warsun Prophecies
Book Review: A fans only book
Summary: 1 Stars
What we have here, in essence, are a pair of mid twenty year olds, who make the same crude jokes you would find in an internet chatroom. The only difference is one of them can use the mighty power of Photoshop to enhance his otherwise average drawings so that they stand out to the artistically ignorant and easily amused gamer.
Don't get me wrong, Penny Arcade have been known to make funnies, you buy enough tickets, eventually you win the raffle. But neither the writing by itself, or the artwork, would get noticed or indeed hired by a company.
The book is outdated and often requires forewards by the author to explain why the joke in the comic strip is humorous. It's as if they make out that you are not educated enough to understand it without their help, when in fact the opposite is true. You're probably far too educated to enjoy the crude 'humour' and no degree of explaining will make it funny.
In summary, the writing is nothing your friend hasn't once said to you in a drunken musing and the artwork compliments the writing perfectly in that respect. If you read the comic strip and like it, then you already know what you are getting and you should buy it to support Penny Arcade so that they may release more pearls of wisdom. However if you are a browser looking for some cutting edge humour mixed in with gifted artwork, keep searching.
