We've featured Backward Compatible here on Comic Watch before, and the hits just keep on comin'. This episode is particularly timely, concerning itself with the recent speculation over the SciFi/Trion project.

We have to admit, an episode of any television show spoken entirely in l33t would be difficult to watch all the way through, but would be worth getting through just once. Notice the nice touches in this comic -- the SciFi logo in the lower-right corner, and the references to the two great pulpy science fiction adventure series of all time.

On the previous Comic Watch, we gave some love to the incredible output of Aaron Williams. One of these, Backward Compatible, has stepped up with another MMO-based comic. This time, the light is shone on City of Heroes (and peripherally, World of Warcraft).

It seems there's more of a link to your favorite MMO and playing with dolls than may have been suspected. See if you look at your character the same way after reading this strip! I see I'm going to have to keep an eye on this Williams guy; with no less than 4 comics going on at once, chances are he'll hit the massively multiplayer topic again.

[Thanks, Jonathan!]

Aaron Williams is a pedigreed gamer geek with no less than four comics to his name: Nodwick, a fantasy jaunt that pokes fun at RPG conventions; Backward Compatible, a comic about life at a gaming magazine; PS238, positing a high school filled with superpowered kids; and Full Frontal Nerdity, which takes a look at the other side of the gaming table.

FFN gets some Massively love here for its LotRO reference, and how important loot balance is to an MMO.
