Felicia Day (Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog) concludes her hilarious origin story of the Knights of Good, the stars of her multiple award-winning web series!
Cyd Sherman has finally assembled her in-game team: Vork, Bladezz, Zaboo, Clara, Tinkerballa, and her own character, Codex, but is the guild ready for its first quest? With her boyfriend pushing her away for a bandmate and her therapist only confusing matters, Cyd decides it's time to find out, and pushes for the guild to join a major tournament. Leading directly into the web series, this prequel has all the touching humor and insight of Day's cult sensation, and is a great read for Guild fans new and old! See the show at watchtheguild.com!

Actress, New Media Geek, Gamer, Misanthrope. Voracious reader.
Felicia Day is a prolific multi-hyphenate. She's the New York Times Bestselling author of "You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)" and the creativity book "Embrace Your Weird", and she recently wrote the Audible series "Third Eye" that won "Best Audio Drama" at the Audie Awards in 2024. She has appeared as an actor in numerous television shows such as “Supernatural”, “Eureka” and “The Magicians” and she can be heard as a voice actor in such shows as "Adventure Time" and "Monster High."
She is perhaps best known for her work in the web video world. Felicia co-starred in the internet musical sensation “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” which won an Emmy. She also created and starred in the seminal web series “The Guild” which ran for six seasons, won numerous awards for web video excellence, and spawned a hit comic book series with Dark Horse Comics. Recently, her outfit from the show was added to the Smithsonian American History collection as an example of early web media pioneering.
Felicia produced dozens of shows with her former digital company Geek and Sundry, including Wil Wheaton’s “Tabletop” and the RPG sensation “Critical Role”, and currently streams, writes and acts for her audience of six million fans across socials as she attempts to slow down now that she's a mother. (She is failing at it, badly.)
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.
This one deals with not dealing with bad boyfriends, with having the courage to leave those guys, and to finding online friends that become like family to you... Finding your 'guild', in other words. Online friends can teach us many ways in which to be brave in real life because it is hard to ignore the bold archetype of The Hero within a virtual gaming environment.
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.
