 Burning Void Reviews: "Dork Tower," John Kovalic
Dork Tower is a fantastic little comic for roleplayers.
I'll take issue #11 as a sample issue, "World of Dorkness." It starts off fast by making fun of the dating troubles of gamers and White Wolf's "World of Darkness," all at the same time.
It goes on to lampoon gamers and coffee, gamers in social situations, gamers buying games (no, really, this last one is a lot funnier than it sounds), on-line flame wars between gamers, gamers trying to buy games in normal book stores, and lots, lots more.

He is able to convey a lot of exaggerated emotion in single panels, especially with the outraged or shocked explosions from Ken, Kayleigh or Igor in this issue, and he's also quite skilled in conveying slapstick without the benefit of having motion to do so.
While the Dork Tower stories weigh in at an industry standard 22 pages, the large panels do result in the story feeling a little bit thin.
Dork Tower remains a comic that is best for those with at least one foot in the gaming world, but anyone can relate to the relationship story that dominates the book or get plenty out of Kovalic's entertaining sense of humor.

 Comic Book Resources - CBR News: The Gamer That Roared: 'Dork Tower' Does 'X-Men' Numbers For One Month Only
John Kovalic's "Dork Tower," from Dork Storm Press, is a modest, quiet success, the book that you're surprised when you discover how many of your friends read it.
"Well, I guess 'Dork Tower' is a comic book about fandom (in the same way that 'Cheers' is a sitcom about the brewing industry, I hope -- you don't need to know the ins and outs of brewing to find it funny)," Kovalic told CBR News on Sunday.
But the regular audience of "Dark Tower" was dwarfed this month when Kovalic made "The Best of Dork Tower" #1 — a reprint book catching new readers up to speed on the characters and storyline — was one of the highest circulation books of the month.

 Board Game Review: Dork Tower » Brittlefish
My only real problem with the game is that the instructions make Dork Tower seem way more complicated than the game really is. They constantly have you jumping back and forth to different sections of the instructions and it makes for a very confusing first-game session.
This game is a self-proclaimed homage to the old board game Dark Tower and also has some similarities to the great game Munchkin, but overall it is like nothing I’ve ever played before.
It would be nice if the tower, when assembled, would fit into the box without needing to dis-assemble it.
