I had been a long time fan of The Guild, but it took me two years before I bought this graphic novel. A prequel to the web-series of the same name, The Guild focuses on Cyd's life before "The Game" and how she meets up with the gamers who would eventually become The Knights of Good. It's an origin story written after the fact that stays true to the web series and the characters.
If you're just getting into The Guild, I'd recommend watching some of the seasons before reading the prequel. You aren't missing anything and I think familiarity with the characters gives this graphic novel a new level of awesomeness.

A enjoyable quick-read. Apparently a prequel for the web series (which other than http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urNyg1ftMIU I've never seen)... Obviously I've been missing out...

The prequel to the web series, where we learn how the Guild came to be.

Deeper than I expected in places, this graphic novel is such an enjoyable look into Felicia Day's world. Fans of the web series should definitely consider checking out this adaptation. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who isn't familiar with the series, or with Felicia, as the show goes more into character development and makes the story clearer. I treated this as more of a companion.
The art was the highlight for me. Jim Rugg switches between his normal drawing style for the parts that take place in the real world, and a gorgeous fantasy style for the in-game sections.

Not only is this a great comic about the life of cud before CODEX but my copy is even more exciting. Mine is SIGNED by the beautiful and talented FELICIA DAY. She is so pretty and so sweet. Even if I did have to wait in line for over 4 hours.

I loved this. You can tell Day wrote it. It feels just like the webseries and was delightful to read. Recommend!

I should probably give this a three, but it makes me geeky heart happy.
I really don't like the art for real life, but I do like how it shifts between the art (I don't like) for Real Life and this completely different, idyllic art style for the gaming world. That it's so far apart, even the style needs to convey it. I like that the main character remains the same, and that we're seeing how this all came together for her, before the parts of the show we all got to love and giggle at.

A great companion to the web series! Gives a little prequel/backstory to our Knights of Good!

This was fun and stayed true to the characters + the series. I'm not sure how much I would have enjoyed it if I hadn't watched the show, but as a supplement to the show it is definitely worth reading :)
