Fanboys comics has easily become one of my favorite new web comic series as of late. The comic goes into all aspect of gaming related culture. The main plot focuses on how the Sony fanboy, the Nintendo fanboy and the Xbox fangirl interact with each other in their daily lives. There is even a PC and table top fanboys as minor characters. Scott Dewitt, the artist, launched the comic in May last year.
Lemmy (Nintendo), Paul (Sony) and Slyvia (Xbox) go through out the series and poke fun at their wonderful way of life. The series started out with Slyvia hating Lemmy, but now they have pretty much fallen in love (god I'm a sucker for this kind of crap). Don't worry though, if you don't like story driven comic series, he also does bash video games in general. Plus, he will occasionally do the pure random stuff too ... GIANT PENGUINS!!!
Finally, I should mention Scott's nicely done wrap up comic of all the major 2006 events that have taken place. Among the collage, there's a panel of Gabe and Tycho eating babies. Yummy.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I mildly chuckled at Snake eating Pikachu, but that was it. It's like a 12 year old is making a comic with his own esoteric humor and inside jokes and mommy and daddy won't let him cuss.
Are you still at CES?
Looks like we broke them.
Thanks for all the critiques. Good and bad, it's good to hear. I'd like point out a few things though,
The anime look? Guilty as charged. It's what I've been drawing for years and it shows. I am trying to get out of that though, and you can see it in the newer strips.
Swearing? I just don't think theres any need for it. Some cartoonists include swearing to make their characters more believable, I don't because I see no need for the word "fuck" in every comic. I just try to keep things PG.
I'm kinda surprised nobody has commented on typos...
Iddaknow. Look through the archives and see what you think. I've never wanted to be PA or CAD, and I think I acclomplish things they don't. If you don't like the comic after that, I won't hold it against you. Thanks for giving it a chance at least.
Thanks Again, DToid. You guys made my day. :)
THIS COMIC KICKS ASS.
