So, I'm not too sure how many of you read <a href='http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/' target='_blank'>CtrlAltDel</a>, but a few months back he released most of his first year in print format. I pre-ordered the book being an avid reader. When it showed up today, I sat down and read the sucker cover-to-cover without a break.

A quality book with insightful and usually funny commentary and the usual mix of unpublished content and such, overall a really good read. This is a mix of pointing other people to a quality comic, and wondering if anyone else ordered his book also?

(The book is unavaliable for order right now, but will be in a few weeks if people want it).

    Yeah its a superb online comic. Easily one of my favourites, up there
    with Penny-Arcade and VG-Cats. I like the way there's a sort-of
    flowing story to the comic. It's not quite flowing from strip to strip
    but when you browse through the archives it <b>does</b> feel like
    a story or 2 is being told.

    As for the physical comic book itself...
    I was tempted to order one of these but cash was tight at the time
    they were announced and the more I see Tim Buckley (the guy behind
    C.A.D) moaning about shipping international orders, the more i'm glad
    I had to wait. (I'll order 2 next time round to make him fill out more
    Customs forms! Hahaha!).

    For those of you who've never read C.A.D... you're missing out.
    These are good starting points:
    <a href='http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2003-07-17' target='_blank'>A Guest Comic - Half-Life 2 Based!</a>
    <a href='http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2004-08-20' target='_blank'>RAM = teh yum!</a>

    Again.... great comic!

    When they say that CAD is up there with PA and VGC, it's true.

    The body demands more <b>vitamin VG</b>!

    Unfortunately, I can't order teh comic book because my mom goes nuts whenever she hears the word overseas =/

    I only just started reading CAD and missed out on the pre-order which is a shame as I'd have happily forked over the cash after reading the archives O:

    I do believe they've gotten progressively less funny, but the archives are gold and a good one comes out every few strips.

    I got the MegaTokyo book, though. 'Twas the win.

    This one, I think, was the most recent good one:
    <span style='color:red'>*MONKEY-RELATED PIC DELETED.* Leeching bandwidth is bad, mm'kay? -Talesin</span>

    Yar. It'd be this comic: <a href='http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2004-08-14' target='_blank'>http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2004-08-14</a>
