It's probably worth noting that "The Collected Dork Tower" is not just the collection of the comic books, but also the strips. I say this because Go, Dork. Go! is a(nother) collection of the online strips. That's fine, and all (Dork Tower is still pretty funny, even when the references are a bit dated), but I'm eager to read more of the comic itself.
It turns out that I won't actually see more comics until I get to volume ten, which was just released (I was way behind on the collections). Le sigh.

I found two or three issues of this series at a local store and loved everything about it. I ordered book one and loved it even more. It is a hilarious recap of what life was like for gamers. Unlike the previous books, this focuses more on the comic strip, so it focuses on the hilarious antics and personalities of gamers (the rule lawyer, the munchkin, the flighty fan, etc.). It is still fun to read, but Dork Side of the Moon may have long-time readers focused on the continuation of a specific story line or two that will not be present.

Fun book about most things nerd. It's especially interesting because I was reading it in 2022 and it was released in like 2004. I'm not much of a gamer but I see a lot of myself and my friends in this book
