I have been an avid reader of Megatokyo for a while now - and I have to say, I am really pleased with the direction the story has taken in the past few weeks. Romance is heating up, conflict is brewing, and the artwork just keeps getting better.

For those that don't know, Megatokyo is the story of a couple of American geeks who, after getting drunk at E3 a few years ago, decided to hop a plane and go off to Japan. After gaining access to the country via a MortalKombat Visa, Piro (the nice one) and Largo (the crazy l337 dude) find themselves stranded with no money and no way home. Hilarity ensues.

Also, you can blame Megatokyo at least in part for the proliferation of l337 sp33k... gotta love those t-shirts.

After starting this as a hobby, Fred Gallagher started writing Megatokyo full time a few years ago - and is truly living his dream as an American Manga artist. The comic is published online every Monday, Wednesday and Friday... and the first few years are published in book-format from Darkhorse. His website is great, he publishes his own rants along with Dom, one of his cronies. It is on my must-see website list every week.
