Got recommended as one of the top 10 graphic novels by Time Magazine, and its on-line. So far it pretty much is great stuff.

The setup's like this: A depressed, pudgy nerd who's obsessed with strategy games is zapped into an alternate fantasy world. It turns out that he's been summoned there by a king, probably evil, who's searching for the ultimate strategist to command his troops in their last stand against an army that's besieging them. Everything in Erfworld is clever — the dialogue, the sound effects, the complex relationships between the king and his underlings, and the strange mechanics of Erfworld, which are designed to tweak the clichés of strategy and fantasy gaming. Plus the art is oddly beautiful and very witty. If you've ever wondered what it would look like if a squadron of teddy bears fought a squadron of giant spiders, head straight for Erfworld, which is online (only) at http://www.erfworld.com
