One of the best drawn manga-based webcomics out there, Megatokyo's sum doesn't quite equal its parts.

The Webcomic View #2 - March 24, 2006

Should a webcomic be written and drawn by one person (Will Eisner model) or by a team (Stan Lee and Jack Kirby model)? Also, I review the Penny Arcade webcomic.

With biting wit and an unforgettable dynamic duo, Penny Arcade brings a strong game to webcomics.
