Here’s the second guest review I received, compliments of Francisco De Freitas. I’ve been meaning to review the print compilation for this strip for a while now, so I appreciate this glimpse at a comic I found most amusing and worth reading.

——————-

Weregeek is, for the most part, a slice-of-life comic about Mark (pictured above) and the group of geeks he joins. When the gang role play the comic takes on the look of the role play they are taking part in.

There are, however, some fantastical elements (I am not counting the role play images as fantastical as they are meant to be in the imagination of the characters). The first of these is that there exists “weregeeks”. Under the right conditions they can transform into humanoid creatures (see below). In their weregeek form geeks are stronger but they are more geeky. The other fantastical element is that there is a band of hunters that are trying to eliminate the world of geeks.

The main plot is centred around Sarah. Mark has a girlfriend but, with him spending most of his time with his new friends, he isn’t spending as much time as she would like with her. Sarah, on the other hand, would like to hook up with Mark but knows that he is taken.

The hunters form the main sub-plot. It bubbles along in the background and, just when you start forgetting about them, there’s another development.

The comic tends to follow Mark, Abbie (a friend of Sarah’s) and Sarah. However, the comic sometimes centres on Joel, the mysterious member of the gang.

Do you love Star Trek and/or Star Wars? Do you role play? Do you like comics? If the answer is “yes”, maybe you should meet the gang.
