KING OF RPGS
Vol. 2
(by Jason Thompson and Victor Hao, Del Rey, $10.99)
FROM THE BACK COVER:
"After an intense World of Warfare (WOW) bender, college kid and hardcore gamer Shesh Maccabee finds himself completely consumed by his dark character, slayer extraordinaire Moggrathka. To avoid a repeat incident—and the potentially fatal consequences of getting whacked online—Shesh enmeshes himself in the real world with the help of a part-time job, focusing on paying tuition instead of slaying orcs. Meanwhile his archenemy, student cop Rona, is never far behind, watching and waiting for Shesh to lapse back into character and go on a rampage.
A viewer of these episodes should also start to suspect that there may be a reason (beyond general cutesiness and anime stereotypes) why so many of the ES force members seem so young. None of the questions raised by these episodes are answered, but the series is only half done so there's still a lot of time left for the mysteries to be sorted out. This volume also introduces Unou and Aou, the last of the main pairs of ES members, although all the pairs presented so far get at least a little bit of screen time.
