Player Vs. Player (PvP), which is possibly the single most popular comic on the web, has debuted as an animated series.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with the comic, it centers around the adventures of the employees of a fictional video game magazine company. It’s a hilarious parade of geek culture references and sarcasm. In earlier strips, the comic concentrated on video games, but the scope has definitely widened.
After watching the first episode, I can honestly say I’m surprised. The quality of the animation is far beyond what I would have expected from a webcomic. Heck, it beats most of what passes for programming on Cartoon Network most nights. Of course, PVP doesn’t have Cartoon Networks snazzy guerrilla marketing techniques. And unlike some other animation converts (such as Dilbert) the storylines seem to share the spirit of the original comic.
The new series is available by subscription, for twenty-five dollars a year at the PvP website, but you can check out the preview below.
