Double Jumpers

After Jason and his team of programmers get stuck in their virtual reality game, Dungeon Lords, they must find a way back to the real world.  Unbeknownst to them, the fantasy characters they inhabit have taken control of their bodies… and now wizards and warriors run free in Las Vegas!

I’m not one to judge a TPB by its cover, but this is an exception to the rule which is deserving of it.  More so with Double Jumpers being an Action Lab/Danger Zone title, I was totally comfortable jumping to conclusions (pun fully intended).  This book immediately seemed like something I’d love, and that quickly became fact all the way to the end.

This collection of adventures with our crazy group of characters is written quite well, especially considering it spans two different worlds.  Chock full of goodness for gamers old and new, and absolutely packed with no holds barred humor, this is such an entertaining read.  What’s good though is that you don’t even need to be much of a nerd to appreciate it, but that certainly makes it all the more enjoyable if you are.

The world, or worlds as it were that we join our heroes on are illustrated just as strongly as they are written.  Both the “real world” and our fantasy game setting have been given plenty of attention and it shows throughout the book

This is definitely one of those graphic novels you could read more than once.  Hell, even I did before I got to doing up the review for it because I liked it that much.  I would more than suggest grabbing this book as soon as humanly possible, as I’m confident it will become a favorite for you as well..
