This is such a great prequel to The Guild web series, I've read it again in preparation for The Guild: Knights of Good and Season 6.
It's basically The Guild season 0, revealing why Codex starting playing The Game, how she met up with her future guildees, and the formation of the Knights of Good guild. It's got great art that closely resembles the characters, character development, and plenty of geeky humor with the same quirky characters as the show. I especially liked the tie-ins with things mentioned in the series, such as Clara going into labor while playing The Game, Codex setting her bi-curious bf's cello on fire, Axis of Anarchy characters, etc.
It's not necessary to read before watching the show, but it is a fantastic addition to a much-loved series and a must-read for not just fans, but MMO and RPG gamers too.

A great companion to the hit web series "The Guild". Though it is Felicia's first attempt at comics, it's funny and retains much of the web series' humor and helps flesh out the characters a bit more.

Another instalment in how the Guild came to be, again - the only complaint is that it is too short. For true fans of the show.
