Packet of Noobz......


I've decided that you don't need to have a set number of comics in your archives for me to review your comic if I'm asked to do so. The reason being that some people want an opinion no matter how in the early stages their comic is. So, without further ado, I shall continue....

Some people say that there are too many "gamer roommates" comics out there, but I disagree. What if you said that there should only be one or two buddy action movies? Then a third of the movies in the pipeline would have to be scrapped! But to be fair, not all buddy action movies are good. Actually, most are craptastic. But there are those gems that pop up from time to time, like, say.....Lethal Weapon. Packet of Noobz is no Lethal Weapon. I would say judging from the four comics up so far it's closer to a Weekend at Bernie's. The comic follows the sitting-on-the-couch exploits of a couple of gamers who apparently hate the Playstation 3 and curse more than the most hardened sailor. But wait, there's more....

The art is, well....cut and paste at it's finest. When comic creators use the cut and paste method of art the comic has to rely on the writing to entice viewers. That's where Packet of Noobz needs work. So far the jokes are just lots of cursing and the characters wanting to get laid. Also it's sometimes hard to tell which word bubble to read first because they are too close together. And in just four comics I found six errors in spelling. Spell check would fix that problem in no time. On the plus side the character designs and a hint of the writing remind me of South Park, which is always good.

Taking into account that this is a review based on only four comics, Packet of Noobz would benefit from more time being spent on writing better material and possibly moving the characters off the couch for a time. Personally I like gamer comics and would like to see this one improve. I'll be checking on it in the future to see what develops....

This comic is...Not Recommended

It also- looks remarkably like "Little Gamers" I actually thought that's what you were reviewing, when I first saw the picture.

The content does need work. This Friday though I will be releasing the start of storyline (and they wont be on the sofa) and I will start using a spell checker because my English is awful... :(

It maybe copy and paste art, but it still takes time and effort for me. And quinn it doesn't really look like little gamers. The characters in packet of n00bz are just shapes, I cant really change a circle to look less like a circle. Or maybe its the fact that both comics are on a sofa? But why does location matter?!

Thanks for the review Jack!
