I found this ZP rant profoundly amusing. Not because of it’s subject matter, or because it was funny (as it was pretty meh) but actually because the guy behind ZP did a webcomic.

Most of the rant is aimed squarely at Control Alt Delete, so, pretty par for the course as far as webcomic rants go. The problem is, this is all stuff we’ve heard before. For a guy who is popular for complaining in an entertaining way, he didn’t find anything funny to complain about when it comes to gaming comics.

The whole impression I got “hurr hurr gaming comics, game references, sprites, walls of text”. He really didn’t even bother criticizing Penny-Arcade, which disappointed me. Granted, Penny-Arcade is pretty well polished, but there are some flaws in there that should be addressed in all fairness. I liked the little dig about Comic Genesis, as that’s where his comic is archived (which interestingly features himself as a self-insert. For shame, Mr. Croshaw). He also has a few other gems, and I use the term ‘gems’ loosely. A sprite comic… really?

Oh, and as always, drama and ZP go hand in hand, check out the forums for your dose for the week.
